5 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
8 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
9 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
10 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
11 to s_client and s_server.
14 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
15 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
16 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
17 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
18 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
19 to use. For example, specify an option
21 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
23 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
24 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
25 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
26 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
27 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
28 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
30 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
31 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
32 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
33 return non-zero for success.
35 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
38 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
39 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
43 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
46 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
47 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
48 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
49 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
50 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
51 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
52 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
53 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
54 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
56 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
57 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
58 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
59 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
60 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
61 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
63 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
64 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
65 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
66 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
67 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
68 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
72 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
75 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
77 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
78 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
79 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
82 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
83 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
86 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
87 protection in servers so again support should be possible
88 with no application modification.
90 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
91 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
93 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
94 or server extensions to be examined.
96 This work was sponsored by Google.
99 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
100 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
101 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
103 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
104 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
106 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
108 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
109 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
110 to output in BER and PEM format.
113 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
114 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
115 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
116 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
117 -macopt options to dgst utility.
120 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
121 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
122 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
126 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
127 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
128 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
129 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
130 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
131 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
132 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
133 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
136 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
137 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
138 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
139 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
141 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
142 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
143 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
147 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
148 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
149 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
150 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
151 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
152 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
153 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
154 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
155 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
157 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
158 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
159 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
160 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
161 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
162 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
163 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
164 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
165 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
166 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
167 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
170 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
171 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
172 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
174 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
175 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
179 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
180 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
181 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
184 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
185 it yet and it is largely untested.
188 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
191 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
192 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
193 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
196 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
199 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
200 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
201 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
202 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
205 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
206 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
207 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
208 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
209 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
212 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
213 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
216 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
217 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
218 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
219 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
222 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
223 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
224 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
225 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
228 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
229 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
232 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
233 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
234 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
235 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
238 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
239 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
240 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
243 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
247 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
248 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
251 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
252 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
253 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
257 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
258 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
259 to free up any added signature OIDs.
262 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
263 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
264 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
265 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
268 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
269 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
270 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
271 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
272 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
273 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
274 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
275 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
277 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
278 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
279 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
281 we now have additional functions
283 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
284 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
285 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
287 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
288 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
292 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
293 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
294 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
295 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
296 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
297 the array representation useful in a more general context.
300 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
301 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
302 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
303 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
304 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
306 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
307 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
308 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
309 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
310 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
313 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
314 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
315 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
316 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
318 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
319 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
320 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
321 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
322 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
328 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
329 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
333 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
334 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
337 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
338 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
341 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
342 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
343 functional reference processing.
346 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
347 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
351 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
352 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
353 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
356 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
357 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
358 application to support multiple signers.
361 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
365 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
366 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
367 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
368 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
369 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
372 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
376 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
377 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
378 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
379 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
383 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
384 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
385 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
386 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
387 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
388 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
389 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
390 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
393 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
394 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
395 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
396 between digests and public key types.
399 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
400 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
401 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
402 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
405 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
406 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
410 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
413 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
417 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
418 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
419 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
420 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
425 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
427 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
429 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
431 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
432 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
433 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
434 functionality for RSA.
437 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
438 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
439 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
442 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
443 key API, doesn't do much yet.
446 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
447 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
448 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
451 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
452 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
455 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
456 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
459 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
460 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
464 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
465 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
466 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
470 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
471 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
472 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
473 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
474 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
475 of public and private key structures.
478 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
479 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
482 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
483 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
484 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
487 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
491 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
492 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
494 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
496 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
498 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
499 and response verification functionality.
500 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
502 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
503 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
504 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
505 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
506 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
507 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
508 server_name extension.
510 New functions (subject to change):
513 SSL_get_servername_type()
516 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
518 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
519 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
520 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
521 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
522 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
524 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
526 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
527 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
528 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
529 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
530 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
531 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
534 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
536 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
539 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
540 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
541 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
542 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
543 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
546 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
547 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
551 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
552 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
553 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
554 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
557 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
558 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
559 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
560 using the maximum available value.
563 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
564 in addition to the text details.
567 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
568 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
569 handle several customised structures at all.
572 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
573 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
574 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
577 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
580 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
581 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
582 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
585 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
586 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
587 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
590 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
591 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
595 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
598 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
601 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [xx XXX xxxx]
603 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
606 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
607 (which previously caused an internal error).
610 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
613 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
614 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
616 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
617 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
618 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
620 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
621 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
622 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
623 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
625 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
626 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
627 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
630 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
631 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
632 information. For detailed background information, see
633 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
634 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
635 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
636 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
637 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
638 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
639 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
640 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
641 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
642 remove a conditional branch.
644 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
645 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
646 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
647 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
648 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
649 remains as a deprecated alias.
651 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
652 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
653 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
654 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
656 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
657 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
658 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
659 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
660 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
661 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
662 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
663 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
665 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
667 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
668 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
669 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
670 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
671 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
672 with applications using a single external cache for quite
673 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
674 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
675 in a different context.
678 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
679 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
680 authentication-only ciphersuites.
683 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
685 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
686 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
687 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
688 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
689 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
692 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
693 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
694 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
695 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
696 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
697 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
700 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
701 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
702 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
703 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
704 message has informed the client about his choice.)
707 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
708 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
710 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
711 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
712 Improve header file function name parsing.
715 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
716 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
719 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
721 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
722 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
723 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
725 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
726 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
728 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
729 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
731 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
732 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
733 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
735 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
736 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
737 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
738 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
739 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
740 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
741 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
742 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
743 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
745 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
746 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
747 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
748 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
749 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
751 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
752 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
753 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
754 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
755 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
756 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
757 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
758 multiple values to extend the available space.
762 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
764 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
765 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
767 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
770 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
771 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
772 undesirable limitations.
773 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
775 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
776 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
777 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
778 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
779 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
780 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
781 to avoid potential handshake problems.
784 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
786 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
787 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
788 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
790 The latter two were purportedly from
791 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
794 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
795 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
796 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
799 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
800 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
803 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
804 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
805 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
806 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
808 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
809 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
810 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
813 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
814 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
815 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
816 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
817 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
818 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
821 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
823 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
824 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
827 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
828 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
830 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
831 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
832 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
833 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
836 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
837 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
840 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
841 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
842 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
843 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
844 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
845 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
846 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
850 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
851 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
852 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
853 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
856 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
857 under VC++ build system.
860 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
861 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
864 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
866 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
867 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
868 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
869 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
870 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
872 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
873 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
874 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
876 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
879 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
880 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
883 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
884 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
886 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
889 *) Extended Windows CE support.
890 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
892 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
893 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
896 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
897 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
901 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
903 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
906 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
909 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
910 key into the same file any more.
913 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
916 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
917 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
919 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
920 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
923 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
924 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
925 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
926 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
927 this only applies when building 'shared'.
928 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
930 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
931 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
932 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
935 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
936 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
937 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
938 - add new function for parameter creation
939 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
940 BN_BLINDING parameters
941 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
942 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
943 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
947 *) Add support for DTLS.
948 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
950 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
951 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
954 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
955 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
958 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
959 the apps/openssl applications.
962 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
963 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
964 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
967 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
968 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
970 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
971 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
973 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
974 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
975 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
976 avoid this algorithm.)
980 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
981 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
982 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
985 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
986 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
989 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
990 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
991 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
994 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
996 The blank line is mandatory.
1000 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1001 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1005 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1006 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1008 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1009 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1010 to support policy checking and print out.
1013 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1014 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1015 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1016 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1018 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1021 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1022 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1024 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1025 implementation contributed by IBM.
1026 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1028 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1029 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1030 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1031 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1033 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1034 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1036 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1037 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1038 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1039 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1040 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1041 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1044 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1045 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1046 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1047 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1048 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1049 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1050 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1053 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1056 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1057 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1058 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1059 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1060 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1061 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1062 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1063 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1066 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1067 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1068 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1069 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1072 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1075 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1078 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1079 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1080 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1081 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1082 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1083 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1084 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1087 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1088 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1091 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1092 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1093 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1096 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1097 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1098 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1102 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1103 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1106 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1107 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1108 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1109 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1112 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1113 initialised value as BN_new().
1114 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1116 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1119 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1120 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1121 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1122 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1123 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1124 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1125 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1126 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1127 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1128 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1129 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1130 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1131 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1132 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1133 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1135 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1136 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1137 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1138 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1141 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1142 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1143 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1144 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1145 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1146 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1147 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1148 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1149 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1152 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1153 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1154 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1155 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1156 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1157 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1158 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1161 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1162 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1163 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1164 these have been updated also.
1167 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1168 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1169 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1170 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1171 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1175 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1176 structure of type "other".
1179 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1180 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1181 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1182 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1183 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1184 situation in the script.
1185 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1187 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1188 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1189 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1190 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1191 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1192 used as premaster secret.
1193 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1195 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1196 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1197 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1199 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1200 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1202 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1203 control of the error stack.
1206 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1209 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1210 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1211 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1212 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1215 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1216 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1217 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1220 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1221 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1222 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1226 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1227 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1228 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1229 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1232 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1233 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1234 the following flags are defined:
1236 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1237 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1238 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1241 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1242 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1243 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1244 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1248 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1249 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1250 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1251 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1252 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1255 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1256 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1257 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1260 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1261 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1262 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1263 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1264 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1265 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1268 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1272 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1275 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1278 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1281 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1282 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1283 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1284 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1285 default implementation more easily.
1288 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1292 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1293 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1296 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1297 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1298 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1299 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1301 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1302 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1303 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1304 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1307 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1308 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1312 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1313 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1314 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1315 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1316 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1317 scalar * generator).
1318 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1320 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1321 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1322 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1326 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1327 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1328 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1329 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1330 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1331 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1332 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1333 linker additions, eg;
1334 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1337 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1338 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1339 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1342 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1343 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1344 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1348 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1349 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1350 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1351 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1354 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1355 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1356 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1357 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1358 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1359 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1360 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1361 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1362 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1363 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1365 Example for using the new callback interface:
1367 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1371 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1373 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1374 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1375 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1376 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1377 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1378 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1383 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1384 available to TLS with the number defined in
1385 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1388 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1389 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1391 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1392 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1393 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1394 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1396 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1397 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1399 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1400 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1404 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1405 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1408 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1409 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1410 and a macro that behave like
1411 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1413 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1416 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1417 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1418 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1420 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1422 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1425 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1426 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1427 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1428 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1430 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1431 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1432 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1433 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1434 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1435 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1436 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1437 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1439 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1440 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1443 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1444 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1446 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1447 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1448 files while avoiding the low level API.
1450 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1451 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1452 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1453 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1455 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1456 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1457 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1458 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1459 instead of the low level API.
1462 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1463 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1464 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1465 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1466 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1469 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1470 down to the template encoder.
1473 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1474 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1477 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1478 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1479 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1480 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1482 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1483 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1485 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1486 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1488 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1489 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1492 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1493 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1494 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1497 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1498 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1500 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1501 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1503 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1504 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1507 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1511 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1512 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1513 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1514 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1515 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1516 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1518 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1519 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1522 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1523 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1524 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1525 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1526 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1527 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1528 various internal method names.)
1530 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1531 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1533 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1534 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1536 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1537 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1539 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1540 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1541 methods are undefined.
1543 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1544 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1546 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1547 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1548 length of the modulus.
1550 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1551 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1553 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1554 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1556 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1557 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1559 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1560 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1561 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1564 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1565 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1566 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1567 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1569 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1570 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1571 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1572 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1574 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1575 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1577 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1578 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1579 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1580 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1581 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1583 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1584 This applies to the following functions:
1589 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1590 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1592 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1593 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1597 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1602 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1604 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1605 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1606 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1607 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1608 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1610 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1611 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1613 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1614 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1615 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1617 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1618 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1620 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1621 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1622 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1623 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1624 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1626 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1628 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1629 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1630 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1631 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1632 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1633 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1634 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1635 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1636 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1637 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1638 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1639 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1641 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1644 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1645 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1646 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1647 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1649 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1650 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1651 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1652 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1657 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1658 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1659 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1660 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1661 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1663 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1664 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1665 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1666 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1667 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1668 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1669 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1670 adding different types of curves.
1671 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1673 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1674 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1675 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1678 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1679 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1681 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1682 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1683 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1684 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1686 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1688 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1689 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1691 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1692 library. Most notably,
1693 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1694 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1695 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1696 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1697 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1698 extracted before the specific public key;
1699 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1700 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1702 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1703 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1705 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1706 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1707 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1708 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1710 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1711 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1712 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1714 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1715 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1716 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1717 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1718 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1719 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1723 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1725 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1726 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1727 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1728 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1729 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1730 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1731 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1732 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1733 in a different context.
1736 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1738 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1740 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1742 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1743 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1744 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1747 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1748 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1749 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
1752 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
1755 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
1756 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
1759 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
1760 run algorithm test programs.
1763 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
1766 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1767 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1768 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1769 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1770 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1773 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1774 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1777 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
1779 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1780 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1781 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1783 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1784 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1786 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1787 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1789 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1790 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1791 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1793 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
1794 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
1795 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
1796 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
1797 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
1798 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
1799 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
1802 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
1804 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1805 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1807 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1808 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1809 undesirable limitations.
1810 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1812 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:

1818 The latter two were purportedly from
1819 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1822 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
1823 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1824 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1827 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1828 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1831 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
1833 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
1834 module in FIPS mode.
1837 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
1840 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
1841 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
1842 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
1843 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
1846 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1848 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1849 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1850 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1851 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1852 the difference induced by this change.
1855 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1857 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1858 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1859 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1860 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1861 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1863 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1864 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1865 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1867 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1868 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1871 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1872 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1873 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1874 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1878 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1879 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1880 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1881 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1882 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1884 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1885 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1886 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1887 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1888 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1889 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1891 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1893 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1894 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1895 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1896 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1897 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1900 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1904 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1905 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1906 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1909 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1910 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1911 structures constant.
1914 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1916 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1919 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1920 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1921 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1922 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1923 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1924 some needed definitions.
1927 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1930 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1931 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1932 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1933 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1936 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1938 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1939 server and client random values. Previously
1940 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1941 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1943 This change has negligible security impact because:
1945 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1948 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1951 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1952 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1955 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1958 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1960 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1963 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1964 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1965 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1967 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1970 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1971 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1974 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1975 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1976 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1978 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1981 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1982 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1983 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1987 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1988 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1989 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1990 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1992 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1993 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1994 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1995 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1999 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2001 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2002 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2003 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2004 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2005 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2008 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2011 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2012 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2014 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2015 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2016 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2017 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2018 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2019 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2020 rather than being initialized to 1.
2023 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2025 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2026 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2027 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2029 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2031 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2033 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2034 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2035 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2036 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2037 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2038 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2041 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2042 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2043 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2044 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2045 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2049 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2050 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2051 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2052 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2053 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2056 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2057 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2058 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2062 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2063 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2065 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2068 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2070 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2072 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2073 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2075 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2077 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2078 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2082 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2083 exiting on the first error in a request.
2086 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2087 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2091 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2092 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2093 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2094 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2096 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2097 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2100 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2101 blocks during encryption.
2104 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2105 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2106 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2107 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2111 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2112 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2113 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2114 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2115 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2119 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2121 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2122 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2123 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2124 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2127 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2128 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2129 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2130 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2131 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2133 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2134 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2135 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2136 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2137 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2138 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2139 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2140 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2141 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2144 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2145 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2146 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2147 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2150 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2151 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2154 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2156 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2157 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2158 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2159 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2160 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2162 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2163 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2164 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2166 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2167 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2168 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2169 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2170 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2172 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2173 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2174 used by default when no-err is given.
2177 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2178 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2180 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2181 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2182 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2183 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2184 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2186 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2187 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2188 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2189 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2191 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2193 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2195 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2197 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2198 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2199 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2200 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2204 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2205 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2207 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2208 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2211 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2212 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2213 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2214 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2217 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2218 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2219 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2220 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2221 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2222 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2223 followup to PR #377.
2226 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2227 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2230 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2231 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2232 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2237 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2240 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2241 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2242 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2243 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2245 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as

2250 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2254 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2255 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2256 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2257 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2258 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2259 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2261 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2262 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2263 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2264 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2265 have to be made anyway).
2268 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2269 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2270 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2273 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2274 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2275 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2278 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2279 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2280 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2282 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2283 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2284 edit numbers of the version.
2285 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2287 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2288 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2289 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2291 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2292 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2294 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2295 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2296 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2298 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2299 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2301 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.

2304 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2305 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2307 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2308 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2310 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2312 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2314 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2315 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2316 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2318 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2319 representations in a platform independent manner.

2322 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2323 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.

2333 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half

2368 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2370 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2372 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2373 the 0.9.6 release series:
2375 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2376 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2378 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2380 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2383 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2384 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]

2387 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2389 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2390 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2391 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2392 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2394 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2395 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2396 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2398 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2399 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2400 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)

2418 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2419 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2420 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2423 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2424 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2425 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2426 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2427 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2429 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2430 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2432 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2433 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2436 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2437 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2438 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2439 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2440 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2441 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2444 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2445 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2446 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2449 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2450 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2453 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2454 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2455 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2456 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2457 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2458 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2459 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2462 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2463 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2464 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2465 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2466 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2467 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2470 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2471 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2472 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2473 declaration has been changed from
2476 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2477 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2478 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2479 has been changed into
2480 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2482 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2483 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2484 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2486 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2487 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2489 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2490 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2491 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2492 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2493 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2494 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2495 always load it have also been added.
2498 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2499 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2500 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2502 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2504 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2505 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2506 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2508 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2509 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2510 command line option can be used to specify an
2514 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2515 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2518 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2519 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2520 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2523 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2524 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2525 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2526 to work with the new engine framework.
2527 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2529 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2530 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2531 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2532 to work with the new engine framework.
2535 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2536 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2537 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2539 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2540 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2542 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2543 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2544 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2545 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2547 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2549 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2550 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2552 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2553 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2555 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2556 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2557 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2560 *) Add new functions
2562 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2563 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2564 These are similar to
2567 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2568 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2569 still in the error queue.
2570 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2572 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2574 default_algorithms = ALL
2575 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2578 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2581 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2584 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2585 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2586 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2587 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2589 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2590 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2592 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2593 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2595 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2596 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2599 *) New functions/macros
2601 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2602 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2603 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2604 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2606 to request calling a callback function
2608 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2609 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2611 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2612 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2613 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2614 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2615 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2616 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2617 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2618 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2619 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2620 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2622 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2623 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2626 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2627 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2628 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2629 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2630 the configuration scripts.
2632 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2633 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2634 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2636 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2637 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2639 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2640 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2641 when reusing an existing buffer.
2644 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2645 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2648 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2649 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2652 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2653 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2654 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2655 has the same effect.
2656 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2658 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2659 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2660 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2661 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2662 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2663 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2666 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2667 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2668 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2669 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2671 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2672 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2673 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2674 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2676 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2677 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2680 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2681 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2682 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2683 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2684 default), and then completely removed.
2687 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2688 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2689 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2690 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2691 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2692 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2693 particular extension is supported.
2696 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2697 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2700 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2701 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2702 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2703 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2704 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2705 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2706 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2707 requires the destination to be valid.
2709 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2710 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2713 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2714 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2715 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2718 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2719 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2721 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2722 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2723 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2724 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2725 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2726 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2727 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2728 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2729 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2730 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2731 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2732 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2733 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2734 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2735 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2736 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2737 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2738 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2739 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2743 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2746 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2747 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2748 become part of libeay.num as well.
2751 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2752 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2753 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2754 false once a handshake has been completed.
2755 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2756 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2757 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2758 client has followed the request.)
2761 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2762 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2763 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2764 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2766 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2767 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2768 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2771 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2774 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2775 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2776 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2779 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2780 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2783 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2784 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2785 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2786 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2789 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2790 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2791 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2792 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2793 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2794 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2797 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2798 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2799 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2800 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2801 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2802 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2803 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2804 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2807 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2808 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2811 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2814 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2815 md_data void pointer.
2818 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2819 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2820 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2821 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2822 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2823 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2826 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2827 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2828 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2829 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2830 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2831 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2832 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2833 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2834 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2835 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2836 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2837 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2838 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2839 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2840 rather than letting it slide.
2842 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2843 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2844 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2847 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2848 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2849 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2850 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2851 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2852 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2853 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2854 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2855 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2858 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2859 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2860 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2861 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2862 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2864 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2867 *) Add EVP test program.
2870 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2873 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2874 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2875 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2876 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2877 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2880 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2881 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2882 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2883 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2884 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2885 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2886 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2888 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2889 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2890 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2895 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2896 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2897 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2898 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2899 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2903 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2904 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2905 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2906 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2909 des_key_schedule ks;
2911 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2912 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2914 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2917 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2918 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2919 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2920 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2921 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2922 functions prevents this.
2925 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2928 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2929 correct _ecb suffix.
2932 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2933 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2934 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2935 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2936 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2939 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2942 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2943 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2944 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2945 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2947 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2948 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2950 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2951 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2952 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2953 via Richard Levitte]
2955 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2956 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2957 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2958 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2961 *) Speed up EVP routines.

2979 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2980 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2982 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2983 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2984 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2985 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2986 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2987 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2990 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2991 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2994 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2995 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2996 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2997 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2999 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3000 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3001 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3002 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3003 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3004 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3008 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3009 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3010 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3011 and interrupts/cancellations.
3014 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3015 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3018 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3019 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3020 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3022 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3023 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3027 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3028 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3029 than this minimum value is recommended.
3032 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3033 that are easily reachable.
3036 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3037 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3039 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3041 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3042 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3043 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3044 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3047 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3048 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3049 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3052 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3053 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3054 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3055 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3056 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3057 internally such as S/MIME.
3059 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3060 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3061 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3063 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3067 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3068 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3069 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3070 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3072 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3074 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3076 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3077 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3078 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3082 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3083 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3084 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3085 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3086 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3087 a window system and the like.
3090 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3091 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3094 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3095 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3096 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3097 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3098 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3099 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3100 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3101 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3102 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3106 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3107 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3111 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3112 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3113 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3114 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3115 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3116 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3117 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3118 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3121 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3122 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3123 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3124 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3125 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3126 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3127 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3128 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3129 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3130 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3131 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3132 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3133 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3134 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3135 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3136 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3137 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3140 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3141 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3142 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3143 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3144 internal engine_int.h header.
3147 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3148 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3149 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3150 modify their own ones).
3153 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3154 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3155 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3156 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3157 later on via ctrl() commands.
3158 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3159 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3160 structural references.
3161 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3162 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3163 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3164 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3165 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3166 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3167 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3168 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3169 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3170 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3171 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3172 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3175 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3176 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3177 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3178 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3179 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3180 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3181 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3182 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3185 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3186 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3189 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3190 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3193 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3194 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3195 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3196 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3197 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3198 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3199 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3202 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3203 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3204 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3205 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3206 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3208 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3209 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3213 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3215 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3216 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3217 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3219 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3220 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3222 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3223 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3224 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3226 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3227 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3229 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3230 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3232 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3234 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3235 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3236 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3239 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3240 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3243 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3244 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3245 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3246 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3247 is 40 of more characters long.
3250 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3251 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3255 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3256 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3259 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3260 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3264 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3266 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3267 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3270 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3272 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3273 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3274 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3276 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3277 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3279 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3282 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3286 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3287 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3288 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3289 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3291 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3293 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3294 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3296 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3297 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3298 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3299 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3300 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3301 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3303 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3304 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3306 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3307 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3309 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3310 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3312 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3313 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3314 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3315 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3317 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3318 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3320 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3321 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3323 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3324 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3325 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3326 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3327 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3330 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3331 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3332 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3333 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3336 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3337 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3338 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3342 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3343 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3344 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3345 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3346 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3347 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3348 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3349 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3353 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3354 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3357 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3358 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3359 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3360 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3363 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3364 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3365 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3366 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3367 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3368 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3369 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3370 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3371 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3372 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3375 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3376 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3377 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3378 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3379 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3380 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3381 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3382 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3384 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3385 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3386 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3387 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3390 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3391 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3392 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3393 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3395 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3396 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3397 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3398 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3399 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3403 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3404 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3405 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3406 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3410 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3411 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3412 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3415 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3416 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3417 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3418 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3419 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3422 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3425 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3426 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3427 option to ocsp utility.
3430 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3431 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3432 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3433 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3434 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3435 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3436 the request is nonce-less.
3439 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3440 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3441 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3444 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3445 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3446 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3449 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3450 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3451 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3452 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3453 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3456 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3457 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3461 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3462 additional certificates supplied.
3465 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3466 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3470 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3471 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3474 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3475 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3476 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3477 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3478 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3479 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3480 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3481 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3482 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3484 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3485 request to response.
3488 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3489 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3490 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3491 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3492 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3493 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3494 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3495 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3496 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3497 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3498 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3501 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3502 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3503 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3504 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3507 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3508 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3510 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3511 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3512 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3515 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3516 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3517 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3518 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3519 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3521 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3522 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3523 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3526 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3527 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3528 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3529 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3530 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3531 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3532 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3533 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3535 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3536 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3537 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3538 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3539 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3540 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3543 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3544 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3545 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3546 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3547 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3548 printout format cleaned up.
3551 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3552 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3553 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3554 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3555 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3556 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3557 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3558 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3561 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3562 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3563 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3564 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3565 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3566 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3567 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3568 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3571 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3572 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3573 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3574 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3576 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3578 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3579 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3580 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3581 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3584 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3585 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3586 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3587 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3589 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3591 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3592 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3593 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3594 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3596 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3597 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3599 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3600 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3601 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3604 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3605 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3606 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3609 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3610 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3611 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3612 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3613 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3614 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3615 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3616 functions are provided:
3618 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3619 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3620 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3621 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3623 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3624 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3625 extended allocation function is enabled.
3626 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3627 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3628 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3630 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3631 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3632 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3633 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3634 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3637 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3638 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3639 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3641 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3642 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3643 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3646 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3647 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3648 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3649 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3650 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3651 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3652 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3653 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3654 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3657 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3658 provide utility functions which an application needing
3659 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3660 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3661 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3663 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3664 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3665 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3666 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3667 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3668 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3669 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3670 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3671 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3673 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3674 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3675 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3676 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3679 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3680 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3681 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3682 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3683 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3684 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3685 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3686 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3687 will be added elsewhere.
3690 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3691 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3692 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3693 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3696 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3697 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3698 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3699 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3700 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3701 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3702 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3703 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3704 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3705 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3706 to produce the required SET OF.
3709 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3710 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3711 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3714 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3715 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3716 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3717 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3718 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3719 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3722 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3723 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3724 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3727 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3728 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3729 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3732 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3733 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3734 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3735 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3736 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3739 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3740 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3743 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3744 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3745 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3746 certifcates and CRLs.
3749 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3750 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3751 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3754 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3755 entries for variables.
3758 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3759 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3760 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3761 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3764 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3765 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3766 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3767 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3768 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3769 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3772 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3773 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3775 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3776 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3777 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3780 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3784 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3785 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3786 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3787 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3788 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3789 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3792 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3795 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3796 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3797 for now but they will eventually go away.
3800 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3801 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3802 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3803 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3804 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3805 has also been converted to the new form.
3808 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3809 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3810 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3811 for negative moduli.
3814 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3815 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3818 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3822 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3823 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3824 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3825 type-specific callbacks.
3828 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3830 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3831 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3833 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3834 in sections depending on the subject.
3837 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3841 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3842 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3843 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3844 be handled deterministically).
3845 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3847 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3848 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3849 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3852 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3855 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3856 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3857 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3858 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3859 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3862 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3863 sign of the number in question.
3865 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3867 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3868 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3869 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3870 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3871 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3874 *) New function BN_swap.
3877 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3878 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3879 results on negative inputs.
3882 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3883 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3884 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3887 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3888 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3889 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3890 and add new functions:
3899 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3903 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3905 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3906 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3908 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3909 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3910 be reduced modulo m.
3911 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3914 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3915 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3916 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3918 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3919 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3920 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3921 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3922 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3923 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3928 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3929 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3930 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3931 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3932 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3934 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3935 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3936 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3940 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3943 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3944 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3947 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3948 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3949 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3950 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3954 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3957 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3960 *) Add the following functions:
3962 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3964 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3966 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3968 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3969 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3970 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3971 libraries unless it's really needed.
3973 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3974 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3975 declarations (they differed!).
3978 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3981 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3984 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3987 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3988 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3991 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3992 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3993 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3995 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3996 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3999 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4002 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4005 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4008 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4009 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4010 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4012 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4013 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4014 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4015 different shared library filenames on each system.
4018 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4021 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4022 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4023 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4025 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4028 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4029 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4030 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4031 binary backward compatibility.
4032 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4033 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4034 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4038 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4039 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4040 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4041 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4045 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4048 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4049 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4050 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4051 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4055 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4058 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4060 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4061 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4062 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4064 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4066 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4068 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4069 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4072 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4074 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4076 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4077 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4079 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4080 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4084 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4085 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4089 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4090 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4091 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4092 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4094 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4095 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4098 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4100 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4101 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4102 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4103 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4106 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4107 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4108 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4109 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4110 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4112 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4113 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4114 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4115 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4116 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4117 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4118 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4119 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4120 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4123 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4125 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4126 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4127 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4128 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4129 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4131 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4132 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4133 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4135 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4137 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4138 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4139 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4140 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4141 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4142 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4145 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4146 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4147 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4148 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4149 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4152 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4153 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4154 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4156 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4157 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4158 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4162 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4163 being properly terminated.
4166 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4167 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4168 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4169 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4171 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4172 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4173 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4174 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4175 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4176 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4177 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4179 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4181 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4182 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4185 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4186 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4187 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4188 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4189 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4190 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4191 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4192 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4194 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4195 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4196 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4197 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4198 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4200 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4201 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4204 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4206 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4207 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4208 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4210 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4212 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4213 and get fix the header length calculation.
4214 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4215 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4218 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4219 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4220 assertions could call abort()).
4221 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4223 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4225 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4226 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4227 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4229 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4231 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4232 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4233 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4236 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4240 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4241 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4242 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4244 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4245 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4246 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4247 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4248 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4252 *) Changes in security patch:
4254 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4255 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4256 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4259 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4260 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4261 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4262 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4263 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4265 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4267 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4269 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4270 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4271 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4273 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4274 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4275 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4277 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4278 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4279 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4281 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4283 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4284 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4285 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4287 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4288 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4290 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4291 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4292 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4293 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4294 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4295 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4298 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4299 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4300 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4301 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4304 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4307 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4308 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4309 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4310 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4311 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4312 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4314 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4315 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4316 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4317 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4318 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4321 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4322 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4323 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4324 BN_generate_prime().)
4326 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4327 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4328 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4332 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4333 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4336 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4337 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4338 when using non-blocking I/O.
4339 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4341 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4342 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4344 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4345 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4348 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4349 configuration for the versions before that.
4350 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4352 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4353 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4354 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4355 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4358 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4359 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4360 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4363 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4367 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4368 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4369 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4371 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4372 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4374 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4375 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4376 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4377 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4378 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4379 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4380 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4383 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4384 using a local variable.
4385 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4387 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4388 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4389 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4391 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4394 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4395 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4397 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4398 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4399 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4401 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4403 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4404 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4405 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4406 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4409 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4413 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4414 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4415 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4416 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4417 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4419 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4420 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4421 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4423 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4424 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
4425 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4427 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4428 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4429 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4430 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4432 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
4433 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
4434 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
4436 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
4438 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4439 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4441 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4443 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4444 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4445 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4446 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4448 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4449 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4450 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4451 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4453 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4454 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4456 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4457 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4458 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4461 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4462 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4463 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4465 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4467 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4468 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4469 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4470 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4471 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4472 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4473 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4476 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4477 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4478 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4479 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4481 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4482 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4483 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4484 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4485 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4486 the client will at least see that alert.
4489 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4493 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4494 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4495 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4497 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4498 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4499 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4500 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4503 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4504 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4505 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4507 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4508 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4509 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4510 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4511 may leak via logfiles.)
4513 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4514 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4515 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4516 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4520 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4521 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4524 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4525 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4526 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4527 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4528 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4531 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4532 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4534 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4535 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4536 followed by modular reduction.
4537 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4539 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4540 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4543 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4544 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4545 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4546 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4549 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4552 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4553 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4556 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4557 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4558 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4559 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4560 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4561 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4563 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4565 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4566 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4567 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4568 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4569 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4571 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4574 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4575 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4576 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4577 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4578 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4579 to allow the necessary settings.
4582 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4583 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4584 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4585 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4588 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4589 dh->length and always used
4591 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4593 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4594 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4595 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4596 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4597 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4602 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4604 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4610 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4611 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4612 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4613 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4615 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4616 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4617 always reject numbers >= n.
4620 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4621 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4622 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4623 variable) is not atomic.
4626 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4627 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4628 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4629 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4631 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4632 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4634 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4636 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4638 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4641 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4643 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4644 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4645 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4646 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4647 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4648 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4649 to traverse all of 'state'.
4651 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4652 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4653 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4655 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4656 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4658 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4659 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4660 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4661 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4662 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4663 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4664 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4665 further strengthens the PRNG.
4668 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4671 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4672 an error message in this case.
4675 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4678 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4679 positive and less than q.
4682 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4683 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4685 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4687 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4688 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4692 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4694 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4695 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4696 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4697 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4698 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4699 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4700 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4703 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4704 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4705 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4706 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4708 Both problems are now fixed.
4711 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4712 (previously it was 1024).
4715 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4716 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4719 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4722 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4723 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4724 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4727 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4728 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4729 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4730 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4731 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4732 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4733 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4734 environment variables.
4736 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4737 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4738 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4741 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4742 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4743 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4744 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4745 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4746 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4749 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
4753 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
4755 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
4756 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
4758 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
4759 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
4760 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
4761 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
4765 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
4766 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
4767 amount of data available.
4768 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
4769 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4771 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
4772 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4773 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4774 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4777 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4778 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4782 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4783 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4784 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4785 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4788 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4791 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4794 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4795 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4797 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4799 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4800 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4801 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4802 (but broken) behaviour.
4805 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4807 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4809 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4810 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4813 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4817 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4818 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4820 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4823 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4824 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4825 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4827 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4828 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4829 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4832 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4833 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4836 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4837 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4839 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4841 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4843 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4844 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4845 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4846 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4849 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4852 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4853 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4854 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4856 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4859 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4861 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4862 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4863 but the code is actually correct.
4866 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4867 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4868 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4869 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4870 and leaves the highest bit random.
4871 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4873 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4874 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4875 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4876 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4877 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4878 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4879 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4882 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4885 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4886 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4889 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4890 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4891 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4892 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4896 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4897 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4898 and break the signature.
4900 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4902 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4906 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4907 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4908 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4909 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4910 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4913 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4914 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4916 *) ./config script fixes.
4917 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4919 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4922 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4923 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4924 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4925 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4926 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4928 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4929 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4932 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4933 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4936 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4937 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4938 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4939 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4941 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4942 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4944 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4945 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4946 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4947 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4948 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4950 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4953 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4956 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4959 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4962 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4963 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4966 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4967 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4968 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4969 result of the server certificate verification.)
4972 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4973 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4974 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4978 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4979 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4980 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4981 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4982 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4983 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4984 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4985 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4988 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4989 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4990 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4991 happening the other way round.
4994 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4995 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4998 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4999 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5000 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5001 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5004 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5005 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5007 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5009 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5010 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5011 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5014 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5016 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5018 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5022 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5024 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5025 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5026 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5027 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5028 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5030 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5031 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5035 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5038 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5040 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5041 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5042 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5043 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5044 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5045 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5046 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5047 by the Finished messages.
5050 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5051 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5053 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5054 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5055 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5056 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5057 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5061 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5062 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5063 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5064 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5065 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5066 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5067 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5068 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5069 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5073 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5074 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5075 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5076 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5078 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5079 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5080 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5081 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5082 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5085 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5086 been tested well enough.
5089 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5090 it can return incorrect results.
5091 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5092 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5095 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5096 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5097 include zero length content when signing messages.
5100 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5101 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5104 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5107 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5111 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5112 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5113 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5114 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5115 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5116 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5119 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5120 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5122 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5123 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5125 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5126 random number < q in the DSA library.
5129 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5130 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5131 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5132 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5133 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5134 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5135 just makes things more complicated.)
5138 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5142 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5143 work better on such systems.
5144 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5146 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5147 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5148 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5151 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5152 if there was more than one signature.
5153 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5155 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5156 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5157 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5158 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5161 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5162 rather than always using the current time.
5165 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5166 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5167 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5168 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5169 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5170 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5172 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5173 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5175 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5177 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5178 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5179 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5180 the same hash value.
5182 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5183 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5184 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5185 with X509_STORE internally.
5187 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5188 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5190 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5191 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5192 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5193 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5194 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5195 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5196 entirely (maybe later...).
5198 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5200 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5201 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5202 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5203 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5204 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5205 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5206 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5207 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5209 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5210 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5212 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5213 to customise the verify behaviour.
5216 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5217 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5220 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5221 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5222 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5223 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5224 request is improperly encoded.
5227 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5228 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5231 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5232 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5234 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5235 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5239 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5240 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5241 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5244 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5245 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5246 BIO/fp routines also added.
5249 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5250 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5252 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5253 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5254 demos/state_machine.
5257 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5258 generation and verification.
5261 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5262 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5263 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5264 encode and decode it manually.
5267 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5269 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5271 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5272 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5273 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5274 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5276 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5277 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5278 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5279 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5280 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5283 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5286 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5287 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5288 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5290 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5291 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5292 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5293 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5294 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5295 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5296 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5297 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5299 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5300 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5302 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5304 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5305 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5306 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5310 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5311 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5312 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5313 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5317 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5319 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5322 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5323 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5324 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5325 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5326 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5327 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5328 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5329 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5330 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5331 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5332 short or long names are found.
5335 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5336 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5338 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5339 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5340 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5341 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5343 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5344 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5345 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5346 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5349 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5350 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5351 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5354 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5355 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5356 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5357 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5358 to allow the various flags to be set.
5361 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5362 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5363 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5364 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5365 dates to be checked.
5368 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5369 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5370 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5373 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5374 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5375 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5378 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5379 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5382 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5383 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5384 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5385 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5386 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5387 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5390 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5391 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5395 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5399 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5400 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5401 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5402 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5403 form signing output easier to verify.
5406 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5409 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5410 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5411 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5412 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5413 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5414 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5415 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5416 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5417 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5418 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5421 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5423 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5424 the syntax given in objects.README.
5425 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5427 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5430 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5431 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5432 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5433 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5434 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5435 consistent name changes.
5438 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5441 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5442 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5443 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5444 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5447 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5448 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5449 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5453 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5454 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5455 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5456 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5459 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5460 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5461 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5462 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5463 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5464 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5465 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5466 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5467 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5468 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5469 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5472 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5473 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5474 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5475 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5476 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5477 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5478 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5479 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5480 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5481 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5484 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5485 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5486 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5487 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5489 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5490 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5491 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5492 omit any duplicate addresses.
5495 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5496 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5499 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5500 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5501 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5502 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5503 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5506 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5508 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5509 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5510 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5511 Free => OPENSSL_free
5514 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5515 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5518 *) CygWin32 support.
5519 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5521 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5522 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5523 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5524 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5525 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5529 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5530 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5531 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5532 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5533 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5534 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5535 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5538 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5539 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5540 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5541 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5542 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5543 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5544 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5545 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5546 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5547 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5548 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5551 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5552 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5553 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5554 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5555 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5557 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5558 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5559 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5560 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5561 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5563 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5566 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5567 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5568 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5569 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5571 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5573 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5576 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5577 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5578 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5581 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5582 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5583 any installed hardware versions can.
5586 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5587 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5588 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5592 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5593 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5594 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5595 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5596 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5598 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5599 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5602 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5603 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5606 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5607 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5608 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5612 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5615 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5616 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5617 but no ssl client purpose.
5618 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5620 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5621 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5622 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5623 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5624 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5625 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5626 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5627 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5628 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5629 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5630 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5633 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5634 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5635 be obtained from the error queue.
5638 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5639 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5640 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5641 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5644 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5647 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5648 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5649 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5650 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5651 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5654 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5655 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5656 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5657 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5658 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5661 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5662 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5663 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5665 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5667 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5668 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5669 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5670 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5671 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5672 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5673 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5674 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5675 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5676 or "the configuration storage API"...
5678 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5680 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5681 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5683 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5685 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5687 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5688 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5689 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5690 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5691 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5692 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5693 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5695 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5696 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5699 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5700 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5701 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5702 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5705 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5706 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5707 them in a portable way.
5708 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5710 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5712 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5714 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5715 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5717 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5718 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5719 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5722 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5723 was larger than the MD block size.
5724 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5726 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5727 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5728 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5729 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5733 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5734 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5735 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5737 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5739 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5741 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5742 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5743 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5744 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5745 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5746 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5748 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5749 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5751 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
5752 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
5755 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
5758 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
5759 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
5761 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
5762 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
5763 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
5764 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
5767 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
5768 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
5769 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
5770 does not suppress any output.
5773 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5774 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5775 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5776 with all the associated security issues.
5778 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5779 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5780 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5781 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5782 use the value in the default purpose.
5785 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5786 and fix a memory leak.
5789 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5790 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5791 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5792 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5795 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5796 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5797 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5798 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5801 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5802 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5803 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5806 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5807 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5810 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5811 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5815 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5816 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5819 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5820 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5821 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5824 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5825 number generation fails.
5828 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5831 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5832 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5834 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5837 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5838 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5840 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5841 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5843 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5845 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5846 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5849 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5850 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5852 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5853 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5856 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5857 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5858 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5859 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5860 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5861 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5863 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5864 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5865 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5869 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5870 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5871 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5872 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5873 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5874 counter, some don't.)
5875 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5876 counters or duplicate objects.
5879 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5880 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5883 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5884 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5885 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5887 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5888 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5889 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5893 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5894 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5897 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5898 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5899 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5903 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5904 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5905 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5908 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5909 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5910 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5911 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5912 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5913 should work without changes.
5916 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5917 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5918 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5919 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5920 must be defined. E.g.,
5921 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5922 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5923 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5924 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5926 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5930 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5931 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5932 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5935 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5936 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5937 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5938 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5941 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5942 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5943 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5944 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5945 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5946 is prompted for as usual.
5949 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5950 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5951 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5952 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5954 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5955 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5956 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5957 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5960 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5963 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5967 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5970 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5973 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5977 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5980 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5983 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5984 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5987 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5988 options to produce them.
5991 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5992 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5995 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5999 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6000 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6001 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6002 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6003 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6004 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6005 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6008 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6011 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6012 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6013 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6016 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6017 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6019 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6020 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6023 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6024 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6025 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6029 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6030 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6032 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6033 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6034 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6035 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6036 generation becomes much faster.
6038 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6039 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6040 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6041 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6042 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6043 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6044 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6045 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6046 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6047 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6050 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6051 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6052 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6053 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6054 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6055 trial division stage.
6058 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6062 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6065 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6068 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6069 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6070 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6074 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6075 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6076 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6079 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6080 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6081 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6082 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6084 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6085 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6088 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6091 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6092 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6093 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6094 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6097 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6098 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6099 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6102 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6103 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6104 (instead of parameters) in future.
6107 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6108 when a new cipher list is set.
6111 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6112 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6115 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6116 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6117 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6119 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6120 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6121 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6122 an error is flagged.
6124 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6125 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6126 the readability was also increased :-)
6127 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6129 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6130 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6131 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6132 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6136 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6137 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6140 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6141 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6142 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6143 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6146 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6147 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6148 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6149 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6150 because they handle more complex structures.)
6153 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6154 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6155 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6156 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6158 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6159 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6160 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6161 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6162 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6163 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6164 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6167 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6168 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6169 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6170 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6171 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6174 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6177 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6178 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6179 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6180 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6181 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6184 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6188 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6189 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6190 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6191 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6194 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6197 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6198 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6199 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6200 international characters are used.
6202 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6203 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6204 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6208 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6209 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6210 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6213 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6214 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6215 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6216 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6217 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6218 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6220 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6221 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6222 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6223 be handled by the string table functions.
6225 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6226 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6227 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6228 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6229 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6233 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6234 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6235 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6236 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6237 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6239 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6240 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6241 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6242 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6245 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6246 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6247 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6248 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6249 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6253 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6254 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6255 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6256 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6257 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6258 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6259 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6260 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6262 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6263 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6264 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6267 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6268 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6269 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6270 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6271 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6272 support to pkcs8 application.
6275 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6276 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6277 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6278 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6279 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6280 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6283 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6284 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6285 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6286 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6287 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6291 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6292 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6293 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6294 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6298 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6299 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6300 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6301 and any application specific purposes.
6303 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6304 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6305 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6306 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6307 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6308 if the certificate is self signed.
6311 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6312 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6315 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6316 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6317 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6318 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6321 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6322 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6323 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6324 Update documentation.
6327 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6328 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6329 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6330 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6331 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6334 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6336 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6338 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6339 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6340 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6341 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6342 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6343 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6344 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6345 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6346 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6347 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6349 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6351 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6352 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6353 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6354 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6355 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6357 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6358 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6359 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6360 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6361 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6362 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6363 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6364 request additional information:
6365 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6366 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6368 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6369 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6370 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6373 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6374 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6377 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6380 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6381 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6383 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6384 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6385 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6389 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6390 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6391 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6393 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6394 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6395 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6396 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6397 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6398 included in OpenSSL.
6401 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6402 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6403 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6404 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6405 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6406 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6409 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6413 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6414 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6415 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6416 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6417 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6421 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6425 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6426 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6427 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6428 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6429 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6430 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6431 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6432 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6433 be maintained manually.
6435 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6436 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6437 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6438 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6439 work because people forget to call this function]
6440 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6441 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6442 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6445 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6446 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6447 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6448 should be discouraged from doing it.
6451 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6452 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6453 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6454 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6455 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6456 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6459 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6460 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6461 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6463 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6464 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6465 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6467 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6468 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6469 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6470 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6471 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6472 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6474 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6475 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6476 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6478 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6479 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6482 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6483 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6484 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6485 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6488 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6491 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6492 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6493 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6494 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6495 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6496 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6497 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6498 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6499 keys so we should be OK.
6501 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6502 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6503 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6504 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6505 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6506 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6507 stay in the name of compatibility.
6509 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6510 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6511 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6513 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6514 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6515 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6516 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6517 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6518 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6522 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6523 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6524 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6525 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6526 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6527 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6528 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6529 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6530 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6531 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6532 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6533 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6534 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6537 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6540 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6541 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6542 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6543 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6544 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6545 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6546 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6547 openssl verify ss.pem
6548 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6549 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6553 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6554 (and add it to external session representation).
6555 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6556 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6557 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6558 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6559 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6560 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6562 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6564 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6565 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6566 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6567 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6569 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6570 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6571 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6574 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6575 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6576 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6580 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6581 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6582 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6584 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6585 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6586 certificate auxiliary information.
6589 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6593 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6594 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6595 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6596 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6597 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6598 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6599 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6602 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6603 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6606 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6607 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6608 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6609 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6612 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6615 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6616 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6619 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6620 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6621 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6622 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6623 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6624 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6625 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6626 using the new 'x509' options.
6628 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6629 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6630 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6631 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6635 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6636 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6637 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6638 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6639 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6642 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6643 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6644 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6645 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6646 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6647 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6648 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6649 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6650 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6651 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6654 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6655 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6656 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6657 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6658 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6659 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6660 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6663 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6664 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6665 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6666 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6667 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6668 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6669 openssl.cnf for more info.
6672 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6673 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6674 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6675 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6676 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6677 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6678 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6679 md should be large enough anyway.
6682 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6683 for handling the random seed file.
6685 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6687 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6690 x509 (when signing).
6691 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6692 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6693 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6695 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6696 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6697 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6698 that support '-rand'.
6701 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6702 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6705 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6706 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6709 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6710 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6711 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6712 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6716 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6717 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6718 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6719 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6722 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6723 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6724 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6725 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6726 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6727 print out all the purposes.
6730 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6734 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6735 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6736 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6737 single function call.
6740 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6741 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6744 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6745 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6746 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6749 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6750 when producing the local key id.
6751 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6753 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
6754 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
6755 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
6759 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
6760 a public key to be input or output. For example:
6761 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
6762 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
6765 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
6766 in the message. This was handled by allowing
6767 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
6768 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
6770 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
6771 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
6772 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6773 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6775 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6776 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6777 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6778 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6779 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6780 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6781 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6782 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6783 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6784 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6785 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6786 trivial: move one line.
6787 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6789 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6790 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6791 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6792 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6793 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6794 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6795 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6796 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6797 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6798 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6799 with an event loop for example.
6802 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6803 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6804 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6805 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6806 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6807 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6808 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6809 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6810 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6813 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6814 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6815 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6816 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6817 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6818 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6821 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6822 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6823 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6824 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6826 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6827 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6828 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6829 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6833 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6834 (still largely untested)
6837 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6838 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6841 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6842 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6845 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6846 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6847 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6850 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6851 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6852 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6853 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6854 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6857 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6860 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6861 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6862 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6863 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6864 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6868 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6869 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6872 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6875 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6876 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6877 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6878 are otherwise ignored at present.
6881 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6882 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6883 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6884 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6885 copied until the next read.
6888 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6889 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6890 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6893 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6894 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6895 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6896 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6897 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6898 associated functions.
6901 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6902 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6903 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6904 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6905 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6906 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6907 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6908 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6909 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6913 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6914 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6915 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6916 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6919 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6920 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6921 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6922 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6923 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6927 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6928 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6932 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6933 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6934 extensions to be obtained and added.
6937 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6938 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6941 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6943 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6944 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6946 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6947 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6949 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6953 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6954 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6955 DH parameters contain its length).
6957 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6958 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6959 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6960 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6961 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6962 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6963 utter importance to use
6964 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6966 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6967 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6968 attacks may become possible!
6971 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6974 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6975 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6978 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6979 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6980 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6984 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6985 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6986 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6987 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6988 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6989 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6990 private key operations.
6993 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6996 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6997 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6999 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7000 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7001 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7002 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7003 the password callback is called.
7004 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7006 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7008 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7009 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7010 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7011 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7012 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7013 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7016 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7017 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7018 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7019 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7020 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7021 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7024 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7027 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7028 delete an unused file.
7031 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7032 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7033 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7034 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7037 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7038 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7039 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7043 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7044 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7045 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7047 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7048 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7049 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7050 comparison" warnings.
7051 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7054 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7055 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7056 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7059 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7060 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7062 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7063 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7065 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7066 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7067 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7069 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7070 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7071 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7072 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7073 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7075 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7077 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7078 The interface is as follows:
7079 Applications can use
7080 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7081 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7082 "off" is now the default.
7083 The library internally uses
7084 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7085 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7086 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7088 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7089 even the default) are now avoided.
7091 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7092 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7093 than just having a counter.
7095 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7097 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7101 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7102 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7103 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7104 Initial "mode" flags are:
7106 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7107 a single record has been written.
7108 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7109 retries use the same buffer location.
7110 (But all of the contents must be
7114 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7117 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7118 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7120 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7121 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7122 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7125 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7126 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7128 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7130 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7131 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7132 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7133 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7135 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7136 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7138 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7139 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7140 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7141 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7142 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7143 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7146 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7147 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7148 necessary function names.
7151 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7152 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7153 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7154 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7157 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7158 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7159 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7162 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7163 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7164 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7165 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7167 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7171 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7172 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7173 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7176 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7177 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7181 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7182 for the encoded length.
7183 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7185 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7188 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7189 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7190 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7191 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7194 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7195 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7196 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7198 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7199 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7200 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7204 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7205 to use the new extension code.
7208 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7209 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7210 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7214 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7215 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7216 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7220 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7223 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7224 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7225 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7228 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7229 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7230 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7231 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7234 *) DES library cleanups.
7237 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7238 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7239 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7240 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7241 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7245 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7246 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7249 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7250 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7251 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7252 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7253 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7254 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7255 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7256 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7257 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7260 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7261 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7262 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7263 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7264 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7265 value doesn't matter.
7268 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7272 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7273 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7274 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7275 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7277 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7280 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7281 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7282 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7284 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7285 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7287 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7290 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7293 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7296 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7300 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7302 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7304 *) Updated some demos.
7305 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7307 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7310 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7313 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7316 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7317 instead of using a fixed path.
7320 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7323 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7327 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7329 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7330 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7331 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7333 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7334 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7335 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7336 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7337 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7338 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7339 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7340 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7341 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7342 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7345 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7346 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7349 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7350 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7351 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7352 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7353 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7355 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7358 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7359 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7360 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7363 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7366 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7367 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7368 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7369 key elements as negative integers.
7372 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7373 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7376 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7378 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7379 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7380 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7383 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7384 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7385 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7386 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7387 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7390 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7393 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7394 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7395 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7396 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7398 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7399 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7400 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7402 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7403 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7404 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7405 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7406 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7407 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7408 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7409 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7410 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7412 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7413 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7414 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7415 does not influence s as it used to.
7417 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7418 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7419 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7420 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7421 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7422 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7425 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7426 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7427 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7431 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7432 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7433 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7437 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7438 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7439 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7443 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7444 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7447 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7448 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7453 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7454 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7456 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7457 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7459 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7462 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7465 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7466 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7468 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7469 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7470 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7474 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7475 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7476 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7477 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7478 now it really counts the depth.
7481 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7482 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7483 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7484 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7485 didn't match the private key).
7487 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7488 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7489 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7492 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7495 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7499 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7500 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7501 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7504 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7507 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7508 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7509 such as /usr/local/bin.
7512 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7513 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7515 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7518 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7519 extension adding in x509 utility.
7522 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7525 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7529 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7532 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7533 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7534 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7535 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7536 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7537 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7538 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7539 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7540 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7541 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7544 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7547 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7548 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7551 *) Fix some race conditions.
7554 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7555 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7558 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7561 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7562 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7563 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7564 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7566 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7567 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7569 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7570 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7571 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7573 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7574 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7576 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7579 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7580 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7582 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7585 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7586 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7588 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7589 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7592 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7593 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7596 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7597 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7600 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7601 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7604 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7605 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7608 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7609 support typesafe stack.
7612 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7613 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7615 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7616 old X509V3 handling code.
7619 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7622 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7625 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7628 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7629 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7631 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7632 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7633 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7634 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7635 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7638 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7639 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7640 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7641 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7642 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7644 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7645 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7646 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7647 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7649 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7650 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7651 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7652 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7654 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7655 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7656 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7657 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7658 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7659 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7662 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7663 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7666 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7667 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7670 *) Tweaks to Configure
7671 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7673 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7677 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7680 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7681 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7684 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7685 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7686 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7689 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7692 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7693 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7696 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7697 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7698 to library startup routines.
7701 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7702 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7703 codes along the way.
7706 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7707 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7708 objects to objects.h
7711 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7712 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7715 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7716 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7718 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7719 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7720 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7722 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7723 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7724 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7726 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7727 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7728 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7731 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7733 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7734 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7737 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7738 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7739 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7740 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7741 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7743 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7744 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7745 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7747 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7749 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7751 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
7753 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
7754 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7756 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
7757 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
7758 if someone would make that last step automatic.
7759 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
7761 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
7764 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
7765 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
7766 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
7767 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
7770 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
7771 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
7772 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7775 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7776 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7777 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7778 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7779 installed as `perl').
7780 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7782 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7783 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7785 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7786 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7787 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7788 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7789 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7792 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7795 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7796 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7797 is horrible: I feel ill....
7800 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7801 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7802 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7803 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7806 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7807 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7809 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7810 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7811 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7812 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7814 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7815 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7816 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7817 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7818 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7819 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7821 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7823 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7824 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7826 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7827 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7829 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7832 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7833 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7837 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7838 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7839 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7840 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7841 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7842 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7843 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7844 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7845 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7846 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7847 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7849 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7852 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7853 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7854 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7855 for linking it into DSOs.
7856 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7858 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7862 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7863 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7864 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7865 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7866 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7867 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7869 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7870 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7871 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7872 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7873 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7874 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7875 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7877 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7878 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7879 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7883 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7884 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7885 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7886 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7889 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7890 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7891 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7892 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7893 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7897 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7898 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7899 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7900 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7901 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7903 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7904 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7905 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7907 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7908 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7910 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7911 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7912 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7913 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7914 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7917 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7918 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7919 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7920 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7921 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7922 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7923 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7926 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7928 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7929 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7932 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7933 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7935 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7936 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7939 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7940 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7941 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7942 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7943 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7945 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7946 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7947 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7948 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7949 no way to reconfigure them.
7950 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7951 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7952 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7953 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7954 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7955 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7957 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7958 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7959 recognized by the users.
7960 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7962 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7963 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7964 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7965 already masked variable.
7966 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7968 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7969 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7971 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7972 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7973 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7974 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7976 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7977 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7978 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7980 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7981 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7982 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7983 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7984 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7985 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7986 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7987 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7989 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7991 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7992 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7993 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7995 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7996 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8000 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8001 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8003 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8004 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8005 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8006 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8009 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8012 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8013 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8015 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8018 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8019 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8022 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8023 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8026 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8027 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8028 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8029 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8030 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8031 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8032 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8035 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8036 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8038 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8039 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8040 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8041 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8042 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8044 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8045 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8046 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8049 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8050 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8054 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8055 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8056 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8058 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8059 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8060 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8064 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8065 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8066 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8067 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8070 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8071 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8072 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8073 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8076 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8077 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8078 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8079 so it wasn't spotted.
8080 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8082 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8083 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8084 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8085 vectors if you have them.
8088 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8089 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8092 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8093 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8094 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8095 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8097 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8098 it will update them.
8101 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8102 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8103 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8104 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8105 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8106 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8107 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8108 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8110 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8111 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8112 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8113 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8114 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8115 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8116 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8117 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8118 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8119 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8121 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8122 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8123 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8124 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8125 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8128 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8132 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8133 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8135 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8136 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8138 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8139 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8142 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8143 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8145 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8146 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8148 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8151 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8155 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8156 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8157 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8158 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8160 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8163 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8166 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8169 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8170 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8173 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8174 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8178 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8179 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8182 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8183 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8184 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8187 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8188 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8189 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8190 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8191 properly to be processed.
8194 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8195 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8196 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8199 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8200 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8202 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8203 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8204 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8205 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8206 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8207 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8208 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8209 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8210 or delete all the .err files.
8213 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8214 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8215 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8216 to regenerate it if needed.
8217 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8218 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8220 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8221 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8223 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8224 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8225 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8226 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8227 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8230 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8231 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8233 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8234 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8236 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8237 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8238 error, but didn't set one).
8239 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8241 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8244 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8245 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8248 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8249 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8251 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8252 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8253 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8254 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8255 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8256 OID is not part of the table.
8259 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8260 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8263 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8266 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8267 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8271 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8272 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8274 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8276 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8278 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8279 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8281 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8282 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8284 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8285 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8287 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8288 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8291 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8292 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8295 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8296 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8298 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8299 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8301 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8302 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8304 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8305 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8307 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8308 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8309 unused in the certificate verification process.
8310 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8312 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8313 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8316 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8317 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8318 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8320 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8321 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8322 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8323 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8324 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8326 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8327 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8330 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8333 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8336 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8337 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8339 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8342 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8345 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8348 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8349 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8350 other error libraries.
8353 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8356 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8357 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8361 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8362 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8363 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8364 the new set of documenation files.
8365 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8367 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8368 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8369 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8370 number of arguments.
8371 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8373 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8376 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8377 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8378 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8380 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8383 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8387 unixware-2.0-pentium
8391 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8392 before they are needed.
8395 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8399 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8401 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8402 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8403 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8405 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8408 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8409 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8410 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8412 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8413 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8414 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8416 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8417 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8418 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8420 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8421 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8423 *) Updated the README file.
8424 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8426 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8427 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8428 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8430 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8431 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8432 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8434 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8435 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8436 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8437 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8438 o removed obsolete TODO file
8439 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8440 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8442 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8443 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8444 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
8445 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
8446 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
8447 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8448 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8450 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8453 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8454 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8455 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8457 [The OpenSSL Project]
8460 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8462 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8465 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8468 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8469 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8472 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8473 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8477 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8479 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8481 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8484 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8487 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8490 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8493 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8496 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8499 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8502 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8505 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8508 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8511 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8514 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8517 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8520 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8523 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8526 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8529 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8532 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8533 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8534 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8537 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8538 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8541 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8544 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8547 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8548 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8551 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8554 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8557 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8558 bytes sent in the client random.
