DEVELOPMENT STATE
o BIGNUM library failures on 64-bit platforms (0.9.7-dev):
- BN_mod_mul verificiation (bc) fails for solaris64-sparcv9-cc
+ and other 64-bit platforms
Checked on Result
alpha-cc (Tru64 version 4.0) works
linux-alpha+bwx-gcc doesn't work. Reported by
Sean O'Riordain <seanpor@acm.org>
+ OpenBSD-sparc64 doesn't work. BN_mod_mul breaks.
Needs checked on
[add platforms here]
+ - BN_mod_mul verification fails for mips3-sgi-irix
+ unless configured with no-asm
+
AVAILABLE PATCHES
o
NEEDS PATCH
- o An (optional) countermeasure against the predictable-IV CBC
- weakness in SSL/TLS should be added; see
- http://www.openssl.org/~bodo/tls-cbc.txt
+ o parameters should be omitted (not NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1 OID
+ in X.509 signatures
+
+ o inappropriate AlgorithmIdentifier used in S/MIME signatures
+ (key type instead of signature algorithm)
+
+ o AES ciphersuites are not (yet) official and should not be enabled
+ unless explicitly requested
o apps/ca.c: "Sign the certificate?" - "n" creates empty certificate file
OPEN ISSUES
+ o Do we want the EVP API changes in 0.9.7?
+ Can compatibility be improved?
+
o The Makefile hierarchy and build mechanism is still not a round thing:
1. The config vs. Configure scripts
