5 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
8 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
9 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
10 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
13 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
14 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
17 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
18 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
19 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
23 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
24 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
25 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
29 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
32 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
33 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
34 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
35 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
36 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
37 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
38 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
40 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
41 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
45 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
46 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
47 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
50 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
51 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
52 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
53 supported signature algorithms.
56 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
59 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
60 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
61 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
62 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
63 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
64 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
65 certificate and specify the whole chain.
68 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
69 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
70 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
71 to have similar checks in it.
73 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
74 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
75 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
76 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
77 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
80 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
81 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
82 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
83 shared signature algorithms.
86 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
87 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
91 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
92 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
93 it couldn't be removed.
96 *) Initial SSL tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
97 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
98 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
102 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
106 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
111 [Emilia Kasper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie (Google)]
113 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
114 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
115 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
116 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
117 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
120 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
121 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
122 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
123 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
124 to set list of supported curves.
127 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
128 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
129 to print out received values.
132 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
133 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
134 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
137 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
138 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
141 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
142 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
145 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
149 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
150 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
151 the new parameter format automatically.
154 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
155 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
158 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
161 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
162 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
166 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
167 sign or verify all in one operation.
170 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporaing all the algorithm
171 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
172 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
175 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
178 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
181 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
182 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
183 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
184 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
185 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
188 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
192 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
193 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
194 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
197 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
198 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
201 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
204 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
205 POST to handle HMAC cases.
208 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
209 to return numberical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
212 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
213 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implmeneted
214 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
217 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
218 there is no mutiple of the block length between min_len and
219 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
220 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
221 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
222 requested amount of entropy.
225 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
226 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
229 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
230 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
231 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
235 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
236 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
237 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
240 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
241 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
242 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
243 will never use XTS mode.
246 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
247 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
248 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
249 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
250 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
251 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
254 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
255 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
256 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
257 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
260 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
261 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
262 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
265 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
268 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
271 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
272 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
275 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
276 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
279 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
280 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
283 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
284 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
285 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
286 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
287 and rename any affected symbols.
290 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
291 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
294 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
295 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
296 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
299 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
302 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
303 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
304 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
307 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
308 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
311 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
312 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
313 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
314 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
315 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
316 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
320 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
321 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
322 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
323 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
324 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
325 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
326 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
327 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
330 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
331 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
334 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
336 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
337 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
339 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
340 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
341 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
342 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
343 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
344 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
346 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
347 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
348 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
350 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
352 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_diff to find the difference in days
353 and seconds between two tm structures. This will be used to provide
354 additional functionality for ASN1_TIME.
357 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
358 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
361 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
362 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
363 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
364 setting is used: whether to trust or reject.
367 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
371 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
372 Add CMAC pkey methods.
375 *) Experimental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
376 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
377 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
380 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
381 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
382 multi-process servers.
385 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
386 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
387 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
388 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
389 RAND_METHOD structure.
392 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
393 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
394 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
395 whose return value is often ignored.
398 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [xx XXX xxxx]
400 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
403 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
407 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
409 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
410 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to avoid DoS attack.
412 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
413 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
417 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
418 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
421 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
425 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
427 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
428 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
429 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
430 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
431 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
432 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
433 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
434 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
435 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
436 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
439 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
440 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
441 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
442 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
443 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
444 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
448 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
450 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
451 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
452 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
454 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
455 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
457 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
459 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
462 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
463 record length exceeds 255 bytes:
465 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
466 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
467 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
468 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
469 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
470 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
471 Most broken servers should now work.
472 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
473 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
476 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
479 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
481 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
482 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
485 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
486 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
487 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
488 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
489 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
492 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
493 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
496 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
497 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
498 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
499 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
500 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
503 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
504 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
506 *) Add support for SCTP.
507 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
509 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
510 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
512 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
514 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
515 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
516 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
517 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
518 - s390x: z196 support;
519 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
523 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
524 (removal of unnecessary code)
525 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
527 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
530 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
533 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
534 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
535 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
537 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
539 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
540 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
541 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
542 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
543 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
545 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
546 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
547 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
549 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
550 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
551 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
553 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
554 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
556 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
558 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
559 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
560 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
563 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
564 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
568 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
569 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
570 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
573 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
574 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
575 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
576 the appropriate parameters.
579 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
580 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
581 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
582 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
583 against a number of sample certificates.
586 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
587 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
589 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
590 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
592 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
593 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
597 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
601 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
602 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
603 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
607 *) Session-handling fixes:
608 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
609 but also support Session Tickets.
610 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
611 presented a ticket with an expired session.
612 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
613 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
614 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
615 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
617 *) Fix PSK session representation.
620 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
622 This work was sponsored by Intel.
625 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
626 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
627 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
628 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
629 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
632 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
633 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
636 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
637 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
638 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
641 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
642 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
643 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
644 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
647 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
648 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
649 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
652 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
653 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
655 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
658 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
659 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
662 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
665 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
666 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
669 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
670 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
673 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
676 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
677 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
678 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
681 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
684 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
687 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
688 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
691 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
692 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
693 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
696 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
699 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
703 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
704 FIPS modules versions.
707 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
708 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
709 until after the certificate request message is received.
712 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
713 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
714 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
715 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
718 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
719 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
720 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
721 support yet and no support for client certificates.
724 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
725 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
726 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
727 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
728 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
729 and version checking.
732 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
733 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
734 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
735 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
739 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
741 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
744 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
745 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
746 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
748 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
749 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
750 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
753 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
754 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
756 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
757 a few changes are required:
759 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
761 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
762 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
763 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
766 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
768 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
769 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
770 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
771 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
772 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
773 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
774 an MMA defence is not necessary.
775 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
776 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
779 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
780 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
781 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
784 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
786 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
787 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
788 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
789 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
792 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
794 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
795 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
796 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
797 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
798 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
799 paper describing this attack can be found at:
800 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
801 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
802 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
803 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
804 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
805 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
806 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
808 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
810 [Adam Langley (Google)]
812 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
813 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
814 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
815 [Adam Langley (Google)]
817 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
818 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
820 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
821 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
822 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
823 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
825 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
826 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
828 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
829 [Adam Langley (Google)]
831 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
832 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
834 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
835 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
836 [Adam Langley (Google)]
838 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
839 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
840 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
842 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
843 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
844 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
845 the last update always remained unused).
846 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
848 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
849 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
851 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
853 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
854 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
855 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
857 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
858 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
859 [Adam Langley (Google)]
861 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
864 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
865 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
866 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
869 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
870 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
872 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
874 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
876 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
878 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
879 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
881 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
882 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
886 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
888 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
889 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
890 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
893 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
894 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
895 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
898 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
900 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
901 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
902 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
905 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
909 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
911 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
913 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
915 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
917 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
918 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
919 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
922 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
925 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
926 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
927 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
929 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
930 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
931 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
934 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
935 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
938 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
939 some responders need this.
942 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
944 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
946 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
947 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
948 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
951 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
954 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
955 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
956 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
957 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
958 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
959 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
960 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
961 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
964 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
965 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
966 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
967 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
969 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
970 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
972 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
976 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
977 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
978 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
979 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
980 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
981 attempting to work them out.
984 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
985 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
986 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
987 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
990 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
991 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
992 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
993 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
994 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
997 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
998 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1005 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1007 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1011 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1012 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1014 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1015 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1017 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1018 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1019 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1020 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1021 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1024 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1025 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1026 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1029 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1030 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1033 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1034 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1036 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1037 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1040 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1043 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1044 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1045 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1049 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1050 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1051 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1052 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1053 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1054 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1057 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1058 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1060 This work was sponsored by Google.
1063 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1064 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1065 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1066 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1067 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1068 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1069 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1072 This work was sponsored by Google.
1075 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1077 This work was sponsored by Google.
1080 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1081 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1082 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1083 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1085 This work was sponsored by Google.
1088 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1089 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1090 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1091 CRL functionality in future.
1093 This work was sponsored by Google.
1096 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1098 This work was sponsored by Google.
1101 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1102 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1104 This work was sponsored by Google.
1107 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1108 and URI types are currently supported.
1110 This work was sponsored by Google.
1113 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1114 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1115 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1116 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1117 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1118 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1119 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1120 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1122 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1123 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1124 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1126 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1127 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1128 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1129 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1131 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1132 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1133 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1134 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1135 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1136 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1137 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1138 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1140 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1142 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1143 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1144 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1146 This work was sponsored by Google.
1149 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1152 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1153 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1154 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1157 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1158 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1161 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1162 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1165 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1166 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1167 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1168 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1169 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1170 content types and variants.
1173 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1176 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1177 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1178 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1179 files from the associated perl scripts.
1182 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1183 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1184 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1186 *) s390x assembler pack.
1189 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1193 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1194 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1195 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1196 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1197 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1198 to use. For example, specify an option
1200 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1202 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1203 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1204 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1205 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1206 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1207 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1209 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1210 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1211 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1212 return non-zero for success.
1214 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1217 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1218 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1222 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1225 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1226 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1227 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1228 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1229 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1230 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1231 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1232 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1233 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1235 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1236 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1237 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1238 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1239 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1240 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1242 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1243 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1244 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1245 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1246 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1247 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1251 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1254 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1256 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1257 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1258 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1261 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1262 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1265 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1266 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1267 with no application modification.
1269 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1270 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1272 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1273 or server extensions to be examined.
1275 This work was sponsored by Google.
1278 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1279 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1280 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1282 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1283 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1284 ciphersuite support.
1285 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1287 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1288 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1289 to output in BER and PEM format.
1292 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1293 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1294 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1295 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1296 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1299 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1300 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1301 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1305 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1306 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1307 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1308 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1309 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1310 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1311 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1312 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1315 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1316 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1317 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1318 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1320 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1321 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1322 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1326 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1327 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1328 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1329 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1330 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1331 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1332 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1333 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1334 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1336 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1337 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1338 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1339 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1340 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1341 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1342 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1343 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1344 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1345 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1346 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1349 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1350 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1351 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1353 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1354 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1358 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1359 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1360 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1363 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1364 it yet and it is largely untested.
1367 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1370 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1371 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1372 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1375 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1378 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1379 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1380 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1381 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1384 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1385 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1386 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1387 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1388 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1391 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1392 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1395 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1396 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1397 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1398 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1401 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1402 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1403 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1404 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1407 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1408 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1411 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1412 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1413 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1414 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1417 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1418 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1419 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1422 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1426 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1427 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1430 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1431 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1432 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1436 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1437 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1438 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1441 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1442 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1443 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1444 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1447 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1448 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1449 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1450 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1451 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1452 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1455 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1456 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1457 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1458 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1459 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1461 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1462 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1463 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1464 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1465 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1468 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1469 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1470 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1471 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1473 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1474 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1475 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1476 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1477 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1483 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1484 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1488 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1489 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1492 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1493 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1496 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1497 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1498 functional reference processing.
1501 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1502 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1506 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1507 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1508 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1511 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1512 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1513 application to support multiple signers.
1516 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1520 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1521 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1522 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1523 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1524 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1527 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1531 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1532 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1533 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1534 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1538 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1539 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1540 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1541 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1542 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1543 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1544 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1545 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1548 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1549 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1550 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1551 between digests and public key types.
1554 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1555 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1556 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1557 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1560 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1561 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1565 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1568 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1572 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1573 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1574 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1575 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1580 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1582 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1584 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1586 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1587 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1588 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1589 functionality for RSA.
1592 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1593 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1594 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1597 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1598 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1601 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1602 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1603 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1606 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1607 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1610 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1611 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1614 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1615 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1619 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1620 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1621 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1625 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1626 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1627 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1628 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1629 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1630 of public and private key structures.
1633 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1634 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1637 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1638 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1639 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1642 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1646 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1647 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1648 SSL_get_psk_identity
1649 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1651 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1653 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1654 and response verification functionality.
1655 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1657 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1658 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1659 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1660 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1661 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1662 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1663 server_name extension.
1665 New functions (subject to change):
1667 SSL_get_servername()
1668 SSL_get_servername_type()
1671 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1673 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1674 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1675 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1676 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1677 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1679 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1681 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1682 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1683 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1684 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1685 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1686 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1689 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1691 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1694 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1695 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1696 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1697 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1698 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1701 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1702 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1706 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1707 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1708 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1709 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1712 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1713 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1714 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1715 using the maximum available value.
1718 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1719 in addition to the text details.
1722 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1723 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1724 handle several customised structures at all.
1727 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1728 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1729 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1732 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1735 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1736 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1737 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1740 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1741 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1742 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1745 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1746 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1750 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1753 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1756 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
1758 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.

1766 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1767 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1768 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1769 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1770 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1771 paper describing this attack can be found at:

1773 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information

1803 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1804 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1805 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1807 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1808 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1809 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1811 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1812 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1813 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1814 the last update always remained unused).

1848 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1849 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1850 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1853 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1855 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1856 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1857 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1860 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1863 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1864 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1865 some broken encodings work correctly.
1868 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1869 is also one of the inputs.

1872 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1873 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1874 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add

1904 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1905 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1906 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1907 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1909 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1910 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1911 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1913 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1915 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1916 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1918 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1919 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1922 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1923 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1924 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1927 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1928 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1929 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1930 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1931 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1932 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1935 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1936 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1937 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1940 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1941 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1942 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1943 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1944 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1945 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1949 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1950 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1953 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1954 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1955 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1958 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1961 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1962 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1963 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1964 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1965 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1966 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1967 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1968 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1969 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1972 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1973 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1974 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1977 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1978 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1981 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1982 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1983 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1984 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1985 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1986 know what you are doing.
1987 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1989 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1990 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1991 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1992 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1993 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1994 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1998 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1999 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2000 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2002 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2004 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2005 warnings in other configurations.
2008 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2009 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2010 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2012 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2014 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2015 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2016 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2018 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2019 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2020 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2021 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2024 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2028 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2029 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2031 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2033 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2034 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2035 other than a simple chain.
2036 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2038 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2039 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2040 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2041 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2044 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2045 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2046 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2047 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2048 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2049 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2050 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2051 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2052 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2054 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2055 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2056 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2057 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2058 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2059 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2061 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2063 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2064 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2067 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2068 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2071 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2073 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2075 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2076 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2077 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2078 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2079 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2083 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2085 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2086 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2087 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2088 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2090 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2091 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2092 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2093 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2095 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2096 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2097 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2100 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2101 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2105 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2106 to handle some structures.
2109 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2111 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2113 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2116 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2119 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2122 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2123 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2127 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2129 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2131 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2133 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2136 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2137 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2138 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2139 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2141 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2142 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2144 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2145 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2148 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2149 s_client and s_server.
2152 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2153 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2155 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2156 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2158 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2159 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2160 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2161 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2162 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2165 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2167 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2168 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2171 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2172 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2175 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2176 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2177 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2178 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2180 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2181 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2183 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2185 *) Various precautionary measures:
2187 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2189 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2190 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2191 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2193 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2194 outside the expected range.
2196 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2199 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2201 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2202 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2203 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2205 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2208 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2211 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2213 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2216 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2217 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2218 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2220 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2223 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2224 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2225 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2229 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2231 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2232 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2233 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2234 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2236 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2237 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2240 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2242 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2243 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2244 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2246 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2248 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2249 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2250 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2251 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2254 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2255 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2256 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2257 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2258 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2259 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2260 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2262 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2264 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2265 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2266 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2267 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2268 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2270 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2271 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2273 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2274 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2275 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2276 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2277 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2279 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2281 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2282 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2283 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2284 sets may exist with different names.
2287 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2288 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2289 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2290 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2291 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2292 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2293 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2294 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2295 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2297 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2299 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2300 implemention in the following ways:
2302 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2305 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2306 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2307 ignored for embedded content.
2309 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2310 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2313 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2314 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2315 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2316 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2318 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2319 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2322 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2323 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2326 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2327 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2328 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2329 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2330 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2331 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2335 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2336 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2337 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2341 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2342 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2343 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2344 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2345 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2346 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2347 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2348 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2350 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2351 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2352 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2353 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2354 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2355 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2356 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2358 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2359 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2360 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2361 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2362 to s_client and s_server.
2365 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2367 *) Fix various bugs:
2368 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2369 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2370 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2371 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2372 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2374 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2376 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2377 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2378 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2379 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2380 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2381 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2382 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2383 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2386 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2387 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2388 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2391 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2392 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2393 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2396 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2397 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2400 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2401 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2402 with no application modification.
2404 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2405 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2407 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2408 or server extensions to be examined.
2410 This work was sponsored by Google.
2413 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2414 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2415 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2416 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2417 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2418 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2419 server_name extension.
2421 New functions (subject to change):
2423 SSL_get_servername()
2424 SSL_get_servername_type()
2427 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2429 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2430 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2431 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2432 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2433 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2435 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2437 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2438 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2439 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2440 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2441 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2442 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2445 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2447 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2450 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2453 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2454 (which previously caused an internal error).
2457 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2460 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2461 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2463 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2464 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2465 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2467 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2468 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2469 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2470 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2472 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2473 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2474 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2475 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2477 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2478 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2479 information. For detailed background information, see
2480 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2481 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2482 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2483 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2484 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2485 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2486 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2487 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2488 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2489 remove a conditional branch.
2491 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2492 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2493 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2494 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2495 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2496 remains as a deprecated alias.
2498 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2499 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2500 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2501 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2503 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2504 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2505 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2506 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2507 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2508 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2509 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2510 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2512 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2514 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2515 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2516 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2517 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2518 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2519 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2520 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2521 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2522 in a different context.
2525 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2526 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2527 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2530 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2531 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2532 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2534 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2536 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2537 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2538 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2539 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2540 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2543 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2544 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2545 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2546 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2547 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2548 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2551 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2552 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2553 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2554 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2555 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2558 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2559 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2561 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2562 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2563 Improve header file function name parsing.
2566 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2567 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2570 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2572 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2573 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2574 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2576 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2577 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2579 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2580 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2582 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2583 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2584 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2586 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2587 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2588 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2589 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2590 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2591 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2592 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2593 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2594 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2596 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2597 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2598 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2599 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2600 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2602 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2603 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2604 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2605 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2606 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2607 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2608 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2609 multiple values to extend the available space.
2613 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2615 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2616 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2618 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2621 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2622 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2623 undesirable limitations.
2624 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2626 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2627 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2628 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2629 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2630 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2631 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2632 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2635 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2637 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2638 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2639 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2641 The latter two were purportedly from
2642 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2645 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2646 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2647 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2650 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2651 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2654 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2655 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2656 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2657 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2659 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2660 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2661 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2664 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2665 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2666 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2667 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2668 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2669 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2672 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2674 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2675 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2678 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2679 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2681 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2682 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2683 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2684 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2687 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2688 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2691 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2692 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2693 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2694 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2695 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2696 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2697 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2701 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2702 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2703 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2704 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2707 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2708 under VC++ build system.
2711 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2712 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2715 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2717 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2718 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2719 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2720 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2721 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2723 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2724 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2725 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2727 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2730 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2731 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2734 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2735 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2737 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2740 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2741 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2743 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2744 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2747 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2748 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2752 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2754 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2757 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2760 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2761 key into the same file any more.
2764 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2767 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2768 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2770 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2771 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2774 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2775 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2776 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2777 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2778 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2779 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2781 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2782 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2783 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2786 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2787 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2788 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2789 - add new function for parameter creation
2790 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2791 BN_BLINDING parameters
2792 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2793 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2794 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2798 *) Add support for DTLS.
2799 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2801 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2802 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2805 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2806 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2809 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2810 the apps/openssl applications.
2813 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2814 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2815 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2818 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2819 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2821 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2822 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2824 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2825 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2826 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2827 avoid this algorithm.)
2831 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2832 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2833 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2836 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2837 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2840 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2841 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2842 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2845 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2847 The blank line is mandatory.
2851 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2852 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2856 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2857 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2859 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2860 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2861 to support policy checking and print out.
2864 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2865 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2866 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2867 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2869 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2872 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2873 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2875 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2876 implementation contributed by IBM.
2877 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2879 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2880 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2881 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2882 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2884 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2885 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2887 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2888 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2889 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2890 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2891 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2892 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2895 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2896 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2897 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2898 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2899 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2900 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2901 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2904 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2907 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2908 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2909 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2910 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2911 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2912 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2913 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2914 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2917 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2918 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2919 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2920 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2923 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2926 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2929 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2930 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2931 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2932 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2933 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2934 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2935 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2938 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2939 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2942 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2943 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2944 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2947 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2948 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2949 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2953 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2954 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2957 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2958 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2959 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2960 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2963 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2964 initialised value as BN_new().
2965 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2967 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2970 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2971 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2972 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2973 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2974 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2975 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2976 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2977 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2978 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2979 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2980 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2981 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2982 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2983 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2984 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2986 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2987 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2988 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2989 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2992 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2993 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2994 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2995 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2996 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2997 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2998 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2999 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3000 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3003 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3004 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3005 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3006 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3007 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3008 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3009 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3012 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3013 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3014 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3015 these have been updated also.
3018 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3019 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3020 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3021 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3022 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3026 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3027 structure of type "other".
3030 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3031 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3032 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3033 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3034 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3035 situation in the script.
3036 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3038 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3039 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3040 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3041 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3042 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3043 used as premaster secret.
3044 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3046 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3047 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3048 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3050 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3051 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3053 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3054 control of the error stack.
3057 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3060 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3061 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3062 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3063 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3066 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3067 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3068 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3071 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3072 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3073 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3077 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3078 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3079 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3080 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3083 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3084 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3085 the following flags are defined:
3087 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3088 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3089 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3092 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3093 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3094 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3095 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3099 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3100 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3101 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3102 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3103 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3106 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3107 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3108 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3111 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3112 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3113 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3114 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3115 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3116 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3119 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3123 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3126 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3129 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3132 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3133 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3134 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3135 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3136 default implementation more easily.
3139 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3143 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3144 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3147 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3148 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3149 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3150 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3152 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3153 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3154 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3155 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3158 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3159 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3163 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3164 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3165 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3166 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3167 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3168 scalar * generator).
3169 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3171 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3172 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3173 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3177 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3178 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3179 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3180 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3181 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3182 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3183 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3184 linker additions, eg;
3185 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3188 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3189 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3190 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3193 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3194 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3195 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3199 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3200 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3201 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3202 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3205 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3206 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3207 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3208 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3209 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3210 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3211 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3212 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3213 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3214 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3216 Example for using the new callback interface:
3218 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3222 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3224 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3225 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3226 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3227 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3228 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3229 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3234 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3235 available to TLS with the number defined in
3236 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3239 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3240 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3242 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3243 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3244 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3245 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3247 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3248 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3250 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3251 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3255 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3256 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3259 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3260 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3261 and a macro that behave like
3262 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3264 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3267 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3268 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3269 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3271 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3273 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3276 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3277 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3278 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3279 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3281 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3282 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3283 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3284 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3285 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3286 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3287 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3288 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3290 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3291 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3294 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3295 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3297 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3298 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3299 files while avoiding the low level API.
3301 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3302 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3303 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3304 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3306 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3307 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3308 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3309 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3310 instead of the low level API.
3313 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3314 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3315 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3316 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3317 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3320 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3321 down to the template encoder.
3324 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3325 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3328 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3329 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3330 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3331 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3333 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3334 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3336 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3337 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3339 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3340 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3343 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3344 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3345 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3348 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3349 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3351 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3352 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3354 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3355 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3358 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3362 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3363 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3364 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3365 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3366 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3367 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3369 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3370 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3373 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3374 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3375 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3376 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3377 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3378 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3379 various internal method names.)
3381 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3382 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3384 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3385 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3387 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3388 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3390 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3391 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3392 methods are undefined.
3394 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3395 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3397 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3398 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3399 length of the modulus.
3401 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3402 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3404 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3405 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3407 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3408 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3410 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3411 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3412 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3415 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3416 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3417 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3418 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3420 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3421 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3422 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3423 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3425 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3426 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3428 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3429 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3430 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3431 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3432 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3434 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3435 This applies to the following functions:
3440 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3441 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3443 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3444 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3448 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3453 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3455 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3456 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3457 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3458 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3459 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3461 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3462 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3464 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3465 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3466 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3468 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3469 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3471 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3472 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3473 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3474 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3475 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3477 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3479 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3480 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3481 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3482 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3483 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3484 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3485 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3486 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3487 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3488 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3489 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3490 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3492 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3495 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3496 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3497 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3498 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3500 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3501 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3502 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3503 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3508 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3509 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3510 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3511 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3512 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3514 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3515 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3516 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3517 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3518 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3519 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3520 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3521 adding different types of curves.
3522 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3524 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3525 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3526 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3529 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3530 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3532 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3533 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3534 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3535 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3537 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3539 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3540 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3542 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3543 library. Most notably,
3544 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3545 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3546 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3547 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3548 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3549 extracted before the specific public key;
3550 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3551 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3553 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3554 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3556 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3557 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3558 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3559 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3561 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3562 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3563 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3565 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3566 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3567 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3568 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3569 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3570 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3574 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3576 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3578 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3580 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3581 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3582 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3585 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3586 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3587 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3590 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3593 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3594 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3597 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3598 run algorithm test programs.
3601 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3604 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3605 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3606 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3607 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3608 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3611 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3612 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3615 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3617 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3618 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3619 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3621 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3622 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3624 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3625 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3627 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3628 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3629 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3631 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3632 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3633 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3634 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3635 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3636 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3637 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3640 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3642 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3643 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3645 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3646 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3647 undesirable limitations.
3648 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3650 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3652 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3653 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3654 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3656 The latter two were purportedly from
3657 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3660 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3661 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3662 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3665 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3666 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3669 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3671 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3672 module in FIPS mode.
3675 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3678 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3679 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3680 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3681 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3684 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3686 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3687 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3688 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3689 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3690 the difference induced by this change.
3693 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3695 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3696 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3697 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3698 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3699 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3701 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3702 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3703 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3705 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3706 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3709 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3710 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3711 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3712 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3716 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3717 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3718 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3719 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3720 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3722 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3723 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3724 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3725 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3726 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3727 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3729 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3731 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3732 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3733 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3734 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3735 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3738 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3742 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3743 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3744 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3747 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3748 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3749 structures constant.
3752 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3754 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3757 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3758 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3759 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3760 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3761 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3762 some needed definitions.
3765 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3768 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3769 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3770 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3771 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3774 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3776 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3777 server and client random values. Previously
3778 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3779 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3781 This change has negligible security impact because:
3783 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3786 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3789 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3790 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3793 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3796 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3798 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3801 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3802 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3803 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3805 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3808 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3809 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3812 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3813 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3814 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3816 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3819 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3820 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3821 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3825 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3826 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3827 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3828 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3830 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3831 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3832 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3833 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3837 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3839 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3840 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3841 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3842 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3843 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3846 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3849 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3850 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3852 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3853 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3854 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3855 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3856 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3857 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3858 rather than being initialized to 1.
3861 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3863 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3864 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3865 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3867 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3869 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3871 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3872 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3873 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3874 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3875 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3876 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3879 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3880 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3881 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3882 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3883 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3887 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3888 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3889 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3890 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3891 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3894 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3895 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3896 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3900 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3901 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3903 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3906 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3908 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3910 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3911 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3913 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3915 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3916 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3920 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3921 exiting on the first error in a request.
3924 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3925 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3929 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3930 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3931 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3932 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3934 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3935 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3938 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3939 blocks during encryption.
3942 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3943 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3944 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3945 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3949 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3950 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3951 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3952 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3953 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3957 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3959 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3960 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3961 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3962 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3965 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3966 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3967 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3968 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3969 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3971 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3972 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3973 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3974 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3975 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3976 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3977 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3978 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3979 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3982 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3983 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3984 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3985 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3988 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3989 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3992 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3994 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3995 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3996 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3997 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3998 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4000 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4001 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4002 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4004 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4005 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4006 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4007 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4008 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4010 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4011 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4012 used by default when no-err is given.
4015 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4016 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4018 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4019 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4020 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4021 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4022 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4024 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4025 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4026 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4027 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4029 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4031 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4033 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4035 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4036 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4037 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4038 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4042 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4043 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4045 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4046 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4049 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4050 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4051 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4052 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4055 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4056 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4057 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4058 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4059 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4060 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4061 followup to PR #377.
4064 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4065 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4068 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4069 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4070 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

4075 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
4078 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
4079 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
4080 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
4081 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
4083 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as

4088 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
4092 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4093 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4094 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4095 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4096 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4097 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4099 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4100 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4101 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4102 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4103 have to be made anyway).
4106 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4107 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4108 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4111 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4112 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4113 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4116 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4117 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4118 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4120 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
4121 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4122 edit numbers of the version.
4123 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4125 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions

4127 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4129 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4130 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4132 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4133 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4134 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4136 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4137 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4139 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.

4142 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4143 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4145 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4146 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4148 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4150 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4152 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4153 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4154 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4156 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4157 representations in a platform independent manner.

4160 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4161 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.

4169 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4171 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half

4206 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4208 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4210 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4211 the 0.9.6 release series:
4213 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4214 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4216 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4218 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4221 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4222 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]

4228 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4229 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.

4234 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4236 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4237 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4238 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4239 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4241 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4242 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4243 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4246 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4247 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4248 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4249 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4250 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4251 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4252 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4253 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4256 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4257 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4258 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4261 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4262 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4263 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4264 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4265 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4267 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4268 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4270 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4271 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4274 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4275 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4276 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4277 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4278 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4279 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4282 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4283 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4284 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4287 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4288 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4291 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4292 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4293 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4294 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4295 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4296 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4297 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4300 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4301 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4302 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4303 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4304 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4305 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4308 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4309 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4310 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4311 declaration has been changed from
4314 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4315 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4316 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4317 has been changed into
4318 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4320 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4321 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4322 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4324 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4325 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4327 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4328 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4329 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4330 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4331 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4332 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4333 always load it have also been added.
4336 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4337 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4338 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4340 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4342 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4343 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4344 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4346 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4347 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4348 command line option can be used to specify an
4352 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4353 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4356 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4357 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4358 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4361 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4362 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4363 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4364 to work with the new engine framework.
4365 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4367 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4368 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4369 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4370 to work with the new engine framework.
4373 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4374 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4375 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4377 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4378 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4380 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4381 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4382 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4383 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4385 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4387 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4388 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4390 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4391 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4393 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4394 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4395 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4398 *) Add new functions
4400 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4401 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4402 These are similar to
4405 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4406 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4407 still in the error queue.
4408 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4410 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4412 default_algorithms = ALL
4413 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4416 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4419 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4422 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4423 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4424 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4425 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4427 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4428 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4430 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4431 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4433 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4434 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4437 *) New functions/macros
4439 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4440 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4441 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4442 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4444 to request calling a callback function
4446 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4447 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4449 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4450 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4451 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4452 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4453 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4454 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4455 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4456 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4457 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4458 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4460 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4461 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4464 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4465 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4466 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4467 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4468 the configuration scripts.
4470 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4471 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4472 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4474 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4475 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4477 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4478 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4479 when reusing an existing buffer.
4482 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4483 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4486 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4487 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4490 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4491 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4492 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4493 has the same effect.
4494 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4496 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4497 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4498 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4499 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4500 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4501 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4504 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4505 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4506 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4507 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4509 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4510 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4511 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4512 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4514 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4515 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4518 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4519 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4520 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4521 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4522 default), and then completely removed.
4525 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4526 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4527 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4528 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4529 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4530 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4531 particular extension is supported.
4534 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4535 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4538 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4539 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4540 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4541 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4542 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4543 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4544 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4545 requires the destination to be valid.
4547 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4548 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4551 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4552 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4553 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4556 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4557 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4559 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4560 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4561 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4562 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4563 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4564 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4565 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4566 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4567 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4568 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4569 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4570 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4571 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4572 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4573 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4574 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4575 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4576 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4577 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4581 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4584 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4585 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4586 become part of libeay.num as well.
4589 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4590 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4591 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4592 false once a handshake has been completed.
4593 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4594 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4595 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4596 client has followed the request.)
4599 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4600 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4601 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4602 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4604 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4605 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4606 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4609 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4612 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4613 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4614 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4617 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4618 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4621 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4622 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4623 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4624 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4627 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4628 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4629 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4630 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4631 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4632 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4635 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4636 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4637 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4638 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4639 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4640 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4641 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4642 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4645 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4646 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4649 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4652 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4653 md_data void pointer.
4656 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4657 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4658 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4659 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4660 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4661 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4664 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4665 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4666 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4667 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4668 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4669 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4670 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4671 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4672 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4673 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4674 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4675 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4676 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4677 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4678 rather than letting it slide.
4680 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4681 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4682 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4685 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4686 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4687 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4688 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4689 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4690 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4691 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4692 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4693 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4696 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4697 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4698 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4699 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4700 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4702 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4705 *) Add EVP test program.
4708 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4711 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4712 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4713 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4714 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4715 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4718 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4719 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4720 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4721 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4722 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4723 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4724 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4726 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4727 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4728 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4733 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4734 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4735 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4736 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4737 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4741 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4742 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4743 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4744 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4747 des_key_schedule ks;
4749 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4750 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4752 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4755 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4756 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4757 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4758 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4759 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4760 functions prevents this.
4763 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4766 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4767 correct _ecb suffix.
4770 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4771 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4772 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4773 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4774 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4777 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4780 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4781 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4782 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4783 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4785 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4786 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4788 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.

4793 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4794 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4795 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4796 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4799 *) Speed up EVP routines.

4817 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4818 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4820 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4821 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4822 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4823 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4824 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4825 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4828 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4829 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4832 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4833 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4834 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4835 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4837 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4838 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4839 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4840 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4841 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4842 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4846 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4847 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4848 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4849 and interrupts/cancellations.
4852 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4853 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4856 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4857 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4858 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4860 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4861 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4865 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4866 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4867 than this minimum value is recommended.
4870 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4871 that are easily reachable.
4874 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4875 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4877 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4879 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4880 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4881 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4882 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4885 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4886 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4887 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4890 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4891 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4892 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4893 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4894 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4895 internally such as S/MIME.
4897 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
4898 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
4899 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
4901 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
4905 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
4906 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
4907 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
4908 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
4910 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4912 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
4914 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
4915 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4916 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4920 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4921 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4922 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4923 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4924 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4925 a window system and the like.
4928 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4929 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4932 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4933 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4934 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4935 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4936 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4937 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4938 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4939 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4940 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4944 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4945 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4949 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4950 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4951 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4952 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4953 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4954 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4955 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4956 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4959 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4960 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4961 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4962 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4963 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4964 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4965 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4966 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4967 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4968 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4969 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4970 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4971 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4972 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4973 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4974 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4975 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4978 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4979 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4980 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4981 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4982 internal engine_int.h header.
4985 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4986 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4987 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4988 modify their own ones).
4991 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4992 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4993 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4994 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4995 later on via ctrl() commands.
4996 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4997 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4998 structural references.
4999 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5000 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5001 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5002 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5003 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5004 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5005 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5006 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5007 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5008 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5009 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5010 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5013 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5014 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5015 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5016 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5017 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5018 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5019 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5020 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5023 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5024 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5027 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5028 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5031 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5032 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5033 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5034 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5035 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5036 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5037 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5040 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5041 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5042 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5043 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5044 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5046 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5047 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5051 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5053 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5054 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5055 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5057 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5058 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5060 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5061 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5062 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5064 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5065 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5067 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5068 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5070 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5072 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5073 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5074 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5077 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5078 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5081 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5082 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5083 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5084 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5085 is 40 of more characters long.
5088 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5089 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5093 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5094 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5097 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5098 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5102 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5104 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5105 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5108 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5110 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5111 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5112 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5114 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5115 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5117 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5120 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5124 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5125 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5126 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5127 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5129 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5131 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5132 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5134 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5135 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5136 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5137 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5138 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5139 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5141 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5142 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5144 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5145 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5147 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5148 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5150 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5151 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5152 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5153 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5155 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5156 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5158 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5159 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5161 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5162 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5163 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5164 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5165 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5168 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5169 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5170 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5171 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5174 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5175 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5176 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5180 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5181 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5182 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5183 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5184 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5185 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5186 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5187 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5191 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5192 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5195 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5196 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5197 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5198 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5201 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5202 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5203 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5204 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5205 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5206 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5207 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5208 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5209 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5210 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5213 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5214 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5215 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5216 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5217 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5218 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5219 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5220 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5222 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5223 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5224 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5225 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5228 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5229 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5230 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5231 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5233 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5234 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5235 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5236 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5237 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5241 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5242 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5243 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5244 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5248 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5249 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5250 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5253 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5254 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5255 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5256 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5257 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5260 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5263 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5264 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5265 option to ocsp utility.
5268 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5269 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5270 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5271 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5272 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5273 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5274 the request is nonce-less.
5277 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5278 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5279 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5282 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5283 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5284 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5287 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5288 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5289 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5290 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5291 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5294 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5295 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5299 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5300 additional certificates supplied.
5303 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5304 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5308 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5309 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5312 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5313 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5314 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5315 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5316 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5317 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5318 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5319 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5320 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5322 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5323 request to response.
5326 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5327 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5328 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5329 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5330 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5331 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5332 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5333 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5334 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5335 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5336 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5339 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5340 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5341 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5342 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5345 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5346 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5348 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5349 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5350 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5353 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5354 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5355 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5356 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5357 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5359 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5360 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5361 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5364 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5365 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5366 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5367 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5368 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5369 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5370 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5371 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5373 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5374 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5375 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5376 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5377 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5378 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5381 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5382 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5383 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5384 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5385 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5386 printout format cleaned up.
5389 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5390 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5391 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5392 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5393 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5394 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5395 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5396 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5399 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5400 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5401 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5402 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5403 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5404 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5405 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5406 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5409 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5410 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5411 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5412 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5414 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5416 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5417 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5418 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5419 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5422 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5423 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5424 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5425 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5427 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5429 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5430 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5431 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5432 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5434 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5435 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5437 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5438 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5439 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5442 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5443 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5444 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5447 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5448 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5449 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5450 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5451 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5452 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5453 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5454 functions are provided:
5456 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5457 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5458 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5459 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5461 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5462 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5463 extended allocation function is enabled.
5464 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5465 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5466 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5468 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5469 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5470 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5471 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5472 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5475 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5476 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5477 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5479 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5480 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5481 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5484 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5485 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5486 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5487 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5488 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5489 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5490 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5491 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5492 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5495 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5496 provide utility functions which an application needing
5497 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5498 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5499 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5501 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5502 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5503 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5504 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5505 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5506 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5507 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5508 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5509 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5511 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5512 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5513 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5514 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5517 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5518 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5519 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5520 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5521 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5522 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5523 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5524 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5525 will be added elsewhere.
5528 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5529 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5530 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5531 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5534 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5535 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5536 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5537 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5538 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5539 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5540 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5541 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5542 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5543 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5544 to produce the required SET OF.
5547 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5548 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5549 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5552 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5553 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5554 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5555 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5556 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5557 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5560 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5561 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5562 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5565 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5566 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5567 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5570 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5571 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5572 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5573 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5574 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5577 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5578 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5581 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5582 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5583 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5584 certifcates and CRLs.
5587 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5588 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5589 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5592 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5593 entries for variables.
5596 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5597 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5598 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5599 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5602 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5603 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5604 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5605 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5606 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5607 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5610 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5611 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5613 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5614 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5615 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5618 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5622 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5623 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5624 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5625 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5626 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5627 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5630 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5633 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5634 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5635 for now but they will eventually go away.
5638 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5639 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5640 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5641 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5642 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5643 has also been converted to the new form.
5646 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5647 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5648 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5649 for negative moduli.
5652 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5653 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5656 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5660 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5661 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5662 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5663 type-specific callbacks.
5666 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5668 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5669 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5671 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5672 in sections depending on the subject.
5675 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5679 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5680 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5681 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5682 be handled deterministically).
5683 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5685 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5686 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5687 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5690 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5693 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5694 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5695 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5696 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5697 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5700 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5701 sign of the number in question.
5703 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5705 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5706 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5707 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5708 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5709 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5712 *) New function BN_swap.
5715 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5716 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5717 results on negative inputs.
5720 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5721 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5722 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5725 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5726 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5727 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5728 and add new functions:
5737 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5741 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5743 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5744 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5746 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5747 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5748 be reduced modulo m.
5749 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5752 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5753 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5754 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5756 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5757 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5758 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5759 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5760 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5761 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5766 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5767 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5768 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5769 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5770 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5772 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5773 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5774 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5778 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5781 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5782 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5785 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5786 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5787 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5788 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5792 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5795 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5798 *) Add the following functions:
5800 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5802 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5804 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5806 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5807 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5808 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5809 libraries unless it's really needed.
5811 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5812 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5813 declarations (they differed!).
5816 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5819 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5822 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5825 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5826 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5829 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5830 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5831 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5833 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5834 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5837 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5840 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5843 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5846 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5847 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5848 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5850 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5851 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5852 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5853 different shared library filenames on each system.
5856 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5859 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5860 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5861 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5863 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5866 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5867 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5868 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5869 binary backward compatibility.
5870 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5871 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5872 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5876 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5877 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5878 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5879 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5883 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5886 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5887 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5888 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5889 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5893 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5896 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
5898 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5899 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5900 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5902 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
5904 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
5906 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
5907 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
5910 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
5912 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5914 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5915 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5917 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5918 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5922 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5923 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5927 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5928 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5929 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5930 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5932 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5933 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5936 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5938 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5939 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5940 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5941 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5944 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5945 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5946 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5947 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5948 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5950 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5951 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5952 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5953 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5954 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5955 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5956 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5957 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5958 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5961 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5963 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5964 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5965 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5966 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5967 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5969 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5970 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5971 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5973 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5975 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5976 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5977 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5978 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5979 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5980 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5983 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5984 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5985 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5986 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5987 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5990 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5991 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5992 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5994 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5995 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5996 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6000 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6001 being properly terminated.
6004 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6005 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6006 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6007 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6009 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6010 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6011 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6012 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6013 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6014 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6015 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6017 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6019 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6020 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6023 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6024 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6025 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6026 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6027 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6028 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6029 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6030 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6032 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6033 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6034 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6035 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6036 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6038 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6039 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6042 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6044 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6045 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6046 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6048 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6050 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6051 and get fix the header length calculation.
6052 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6053 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6056 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6057 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6058 assertions could call abort()).
6059 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6061 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6063 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6064 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6065 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6067 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6069 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6070 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6071 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6074 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6078 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6079 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6080 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6082 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6083 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6084 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6085 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6086 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6090 *) Changes in security patch:
6092 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6093 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6094 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6097 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6098 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6099 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6100 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6101 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6103 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6105 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6107 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6108 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6109 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6111 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6112 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6113 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6115 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6116 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6117 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6119 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6121 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6122 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6123 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6125 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6126 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6128 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6129 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6130 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6131 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6132 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6133 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6136 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6137 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6138 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6139 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6142 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6145 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6146 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6147 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6148 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6149 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6150 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6152 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6153 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6154 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6155 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6156 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6159 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6160 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6161 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6162 BN_generate_prime().)
6164 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6165 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6166 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6170 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6171 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6174 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6175 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6176 when using non-blocking I/O.
6177 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6179 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6180 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6182 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6183 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6186 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6187 configuration for the versions before that.
6188 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6190 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6191 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6192 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6193 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6196 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6197 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6198 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6201 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6205 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6206 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6207 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6209 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6210 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6212 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6213 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6214 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6215 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6216 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6217 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6218 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6221 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6222 using a local variable.
6223 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6225 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6226 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6227 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6229 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6232 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6233 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6235 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6236 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6237 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6239 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6241 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6242 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6243 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6244 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6247 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6251 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6252 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6253 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6254 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6255 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6257 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6258 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6259 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6261 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6262 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6263 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6265 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6266 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6267 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6268 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6270 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6271 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6272 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6274 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6276 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6277 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6279 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6281 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6282 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6283 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6284 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6286 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6287 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6288 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6289 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6291 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6292 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6294 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6295 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6296 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6299 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6300 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6301 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6303 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6305 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6306 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6307 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6308 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6309 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6310 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6311 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6314 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6315 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6316 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6317 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6319 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6320 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6321 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6322 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6323 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6324 the client will at least see that alert.
6327 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6331 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6332 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6333 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6335 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6336 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6337 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6338 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6341 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6342 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6343 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6345 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6346 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6347 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6348 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6349 may leak via logfiles.)
6351 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6352 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6353 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6354 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6358 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6359 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6362 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6363 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6364 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6365 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6366 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6369 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6370 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6372 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6373 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6374 followed by modular reduction.
6375 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6377 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6378 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6381 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6382 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6383 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6384 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6387 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6390 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6391 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6394 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6395 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6396 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6397 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6398 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6399 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6401 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6403 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6404 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6405 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6406 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6407 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6409 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6412 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6413 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6414 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6415 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6416 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6417 to allow the necessary settings.
6420 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6421 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6422 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6423 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6426 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6427 dh->length and always used
6429 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6431 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6432 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6433 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6434 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6435 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6440 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6442 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6448 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6449 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6450 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6451 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6453 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6454 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6455 always reject numbers >= n.
6458 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6459 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6460 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6461 variable) is not atomic.
6464 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6465 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6466 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6467 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6469 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6470 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6472 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6474 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6476 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6479 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6481 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6482 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6483 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6484 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6485 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6486 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6487 to traverse all of 'state'.
6489 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6490 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6491 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6493 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6494 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6496 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6497 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6498 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6499 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6500 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6501 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6502 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6503 further strengthens the PRNG.
6506 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6509 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6510 an error message in this case.
6513 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6516 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6517 positive and less than q.
6520 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6521 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6523 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6525 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6526 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6530 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6532 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6533 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6534 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6535 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6536 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6537 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6538 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6541 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6542 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6543 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6544 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6546 Both problems are now fixed.
6549 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6550 (previously it was 1024).
6553 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6554 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6557 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6560 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6561 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6562 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6565 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6566 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6567 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6568 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6569 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6570 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6571 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6572 environment variables.
6574 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6575 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6576 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6579 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6580 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6581 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6582 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6583 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6584 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6587 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6591 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6593 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6594 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6596 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6597 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6598 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6599 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6603 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6604 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6605 amount of data available.
6606 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6607 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6609 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6610 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6611 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6612 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6615 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6616 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6620 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6621 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6622 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6623 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6626 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6629 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6632 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6633 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6635 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6637 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6638 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6639 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6640 (but broken) behaviour.
6643 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6645 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6647 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6648 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6651 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6655 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6656 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6658 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6661 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6662 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6663 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6665 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6666 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6667 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6670 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6671 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6674 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6675 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6677 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6679 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6681 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6682 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6683 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6684 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6687 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6690 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6691 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6692 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6694 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6697 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6699 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6700 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6701 but the code is actually correct.
6704 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6705 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6706 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6707 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6708 and leaves the highest bit random.
6709 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6711 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6712 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6713 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6714 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6715 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6716 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6717 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6720 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6723 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6724 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6727 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6728 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6729 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6730 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6734 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6735 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6736 and break the signature.
6738 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6740 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6744 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6745 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6746 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6747 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6748 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6751 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6752 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6754 *) ./config script fixes.
6755 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6757 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6760 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6761 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6762 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6763 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6764 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6766 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6767 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6770 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6771 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6774 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6775 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6776 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6777 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6779 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6780 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6782 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6783 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6784 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6785 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6786 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6788 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6791 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6794 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6797 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6800 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6801 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6804 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6805 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6806 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6807 result of the server certificate verification.)
6810 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6811 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6812 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6816 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6817 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6818 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6819 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6820 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6821 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6822 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6823 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6826 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6827 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6828 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6829 happening the other way round.
6832 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6833 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6836 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6837 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6838 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6839 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6842 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6843 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6845 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6847 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6848 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6849 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6852 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6854 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6856 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6860 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6862 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6863 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6864 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6865 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6866 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6868 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6869 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6873 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6876 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6878 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6879 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6880 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6881 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6882 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6883 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6884 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6885 by the Finished messages.
6888 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6889 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6891 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6892 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6893 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6894 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6895 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
6899 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
6900 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
6901 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
6902 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
6903 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
6904 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
6905 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
6906 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
6907 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
6911 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
6912 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
6913 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
6914 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6916 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6917 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6918 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6919 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6920 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6923 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6924 been tested well enough.
6927 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6928 it can return incorrect results.
6929 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6930 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6933 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6934 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6935 include zero length content when signing messages.
6938 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6939 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6942 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6945 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6949 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6950 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6951 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6952 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6953 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6954 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6957 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6958 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6960 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6961 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6963 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6964 random number < q in the DSA library.
6967 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6968 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6969 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6970 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6971 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6972 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6973 just makes things more complicated.)
6976 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6980 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6981 work better on such systems.
6982 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6984 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6985 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6986 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6989 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6990 if there was more than one signature.
6991 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6993 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6994 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6995 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6996 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6999 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7000 rather than always using the current time.
7003 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7004 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7005 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7006 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7007 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7008 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7010 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7011 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7013 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7015 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7016 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7017 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7018 the same hash value.
7020 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7021 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7022 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7023 with X509_STORE internally.
7025 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7026 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7028 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7029 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7030 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7031 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7032 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7033 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7034 entirely (maybe later...).
7036 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7038 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7039 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7040 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7041 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7042 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7043 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7044 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7045 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7047 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7048 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7050 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7051 to customise the verify behaviour.
7054 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7055 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7058 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7059 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7060 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7061 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7062 request is improperly encoded.
7065 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7066 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7069 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7070 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7072 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7073 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7077 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7078 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7079 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7082 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7083 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7084 BIO/fp routines also added.
7087 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7088 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7090 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7091 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7092 demos/state_machine.
7095 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7096 generation and verification.
7099 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7100 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7101 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7102 encode and decode it manually.
7105 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7107 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7109 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7110 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7111 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7112 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7114 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7115 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7116 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7117 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7118 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7121 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7124 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7125 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7126 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7128 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7129 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7130 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7131 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7132 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7133 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7134 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7135 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7137 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7138 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7140 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7142 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7143 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7144 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7148 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7149 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7150 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7151 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7155 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7157 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7160 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7161 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7162 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7163 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7164 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7165 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7166 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7167 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7168 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7169 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7170 short or long names are found.
7173 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7174 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7176 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7177 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7178 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7179 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7181 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7182 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7183 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7184 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7187 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7188 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7189 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7192 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7193 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7194 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7195 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7196 to allow the various flags to be set.
7199 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7200 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7201 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7202 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7203 dates to be checked.
7206 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7207 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7208 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7211 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7212 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7213 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7216 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7217 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7220 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7221 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7222 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7223 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7224 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7225 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7228 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7229 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7233 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7237 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7238 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7239 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7240 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7241 form signing output easier to verify.
7244 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7247 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7248 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7249 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7250 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7251 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7252 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7253 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7254 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7255 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7256 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7259 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7261 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7262 the syntax given in objects.README.
7263 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7265 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7268 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7269 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7270 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7271 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7272 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7273 consistent name changes.
7276 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7279 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7280 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7281 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7282 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7285 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7286 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7287 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7291 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7292 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7293 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7294 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7297 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7298 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7299 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7300 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7301 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7302 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7303 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7304 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7305 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7306 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7307 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7310 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7311 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7312 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7313 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7314 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7315 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7316 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7317 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7318 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7319 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7322 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7323 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7324 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7325 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7327 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7328 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7329 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7330 omit any duplicate addresses.
7333 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7334 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7337 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7338 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7339 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7340 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7341 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7344 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7346 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7347 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7348 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7349 Free => OPENSSL_free
7352 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7353 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7356 *) CygWin32 support.
7357 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7359 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7360 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7361 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7362 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7363 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7367 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7368 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7369 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7370 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7371 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7372 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7373 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7376 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7377 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7378 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7379 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7380 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7381 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7382 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7383 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7384 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7385 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7386 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7389 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7390 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7391 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7392 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7393 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7395 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7396 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7397 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7398 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7399 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7401 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7404 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7405 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7406 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7407 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7409 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7411 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7414 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7415 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7416 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7419 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7420 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7421 any installed hardware versions can.
7424 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7425 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7426 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7430 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7431 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7432 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7433 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7434 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7436 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7437 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7440 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7441 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7444 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7445 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7446 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7450 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7453 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7454 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7455 but no ssl client purpose.
7456 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7458 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7459 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7460 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7461 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7462 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7463 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7464 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7465 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7466 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7467 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7468 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7471 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7472 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7473 be obtained from the error queue.
7476 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7477 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7478 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7479 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7482 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7485 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7486 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7487 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7488 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7489 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7492 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7493 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7494 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7495 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7496 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7499 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7500 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7501 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7503 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7505 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7506 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7507 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7508 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7509 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7510 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7511 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7512 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7513 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7514 or "the configuration storage API"...
7516 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7518 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7519 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7521 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7523 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7525 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7526 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7527 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7528 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7529 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7530 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7531 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7533 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7534 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7537 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7538 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7539 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7540 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7543 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7544 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7545 them in a portable way.
7546 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7548 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7550 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7552 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7553 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7555 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7556 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7557 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7560 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7561 was larger than the MD block size.
7562 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7564 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7565 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7566 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7567 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7571 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7572 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7573 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7575 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7577 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7579 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7580 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7581 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7582 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7583 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7584 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7586 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7587 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7589 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7590 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7593 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7596 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7597 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7599 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7600 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7601 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7602 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7605 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7606 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7607 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7608 does not suppress any output.
7611 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7612 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7613 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7614 with all the associated security issues.
7616 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7617 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7618 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7619 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7620 use the value in the default purpose.
7623 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7624 and fix a memory leak.
7627 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7628 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7629 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7630 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7633 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7634 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7635 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7636 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7639 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7640 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7641 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7644 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7645 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7648 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7649 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7653 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7654 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7657 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7658 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7659 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7662 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7663 number generation fails.
7666 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7669 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7670 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7672 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7675 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7676 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7678 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7679 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7681 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7683 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7684 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7687 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7688 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7690 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7691 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7694 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7695 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7696 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7697 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7698 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7699 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7701 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7702 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7703 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7707 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7708 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7709 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7710 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7711 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7712 counter, some don't.)
7713 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7714 counters or duplicate objects.
7717 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7718 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7721 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7722 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7723 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7725 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7726 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7727 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7731 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7732 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7735 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7736 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7737 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7741 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7742 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7743 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7746 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7747 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7748 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7749 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7750 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7751 should work without changes.
7754 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7755 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7756 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7757 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7758 must be defined. E.g.,
7759 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7760 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7761 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7762 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7764 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7768 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7769 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7770 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7773 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7774 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7775 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7776 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7779 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7780 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7781 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7782 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7783 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7784 is prompted for as usual.
7787 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7788 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7789 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7790 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7792 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7793 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7794 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7795 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7798 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7801 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7805 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7808 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7811 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7815 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7818 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7821 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7822 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7825 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7826 options to produce them.
7829 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7830 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7833 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7837 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7838 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7839 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7840 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7841 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7842 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7843 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7846 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7849 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7850 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7851 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7854 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7855 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7857 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7858 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7861 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7862 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7863 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7867 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7868 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7870 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7871 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7872 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7873 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7874 generation becomes much faster.
7876 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7877 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7878 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7879 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7880 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7881 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7882 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7883 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7884 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7885 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7888 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7889 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7890 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7891 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7892 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7893 trial division stage.
7896 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
7900 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
7903 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
7906 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
7907 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
7908 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
7912 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
7913 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
7914 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7917 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7918 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7919 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7920 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7922 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7923 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7926 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7929 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7930 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7931 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7932 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7935 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7936 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7937 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7940 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7941 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7942 (instead of parameters) in future.
7945 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7946 when a new cipher list is set.
7949 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7950 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7953 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7954 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7955 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7957 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7958 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7959 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7960 an error is flagged.
7962 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7963 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7964 the readability was also increased :-)
7965 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7967 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7968 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7969 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7970 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7974 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7975 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7978 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7979 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7980 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7981 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7984 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7985 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7986 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7987 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7988 because they handle more complex structures.)
7991 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7992 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7993 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7994 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7996 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7997 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7998 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7999 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8000 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8001 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8002 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8005 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8006 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8007 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8008 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8009 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8012 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8015 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8016 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8017 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8018 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8019 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8022 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8026 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8027 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8028 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8029 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8032 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8035 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8036 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8037 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8038 international characters are used.
8040 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8041 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8042 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8046 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8047 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8048 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8051 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8052 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8053 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8054 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8055 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8056 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8058 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8059 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8060 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8061 be handled by the string table functions.
8063 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8064 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8065 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8066 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8067 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8071 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8072 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8073 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8074 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8075 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8077 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8078 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8079 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8080 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8083 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8084 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8085 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8086 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8087 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8091 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8092 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8093 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8094 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8095 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8096 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8097 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8098 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8100 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8101 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8102 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8105 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8106 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8107 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8108 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8109 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8110 support to pkcs8 application.
8113 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8114 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8115 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8116 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8117 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8118 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8121 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8122 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8123 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8124 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8125 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8129 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8130 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8131 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8132 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8136 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8137 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8138 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8139 and any application specific purposes.
8141 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8142 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8143 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8144 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8145 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8146 if the certificate is self signed.
8149 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8150 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8153 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8154 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8155 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8156 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8159 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8160 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8161 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8162 Update documentation.
8165 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8166 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8167 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8168 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8169 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8172 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8174 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8176 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8177 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8178 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8179 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8180 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8181 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8182 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8183 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8184 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8185 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8187 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8189 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8190 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8191 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8192 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8193 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8195 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8196 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8197 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8198 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8199 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8200 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8201 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8202 request additional information:
8203 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8204 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8206 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8207 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8208 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8211 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8212 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8215 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8218 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8219 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8221 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8222 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8223 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8227 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8228 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8229 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8231 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8232 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8233 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8234 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8235 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8236 included in OpenSSL.
8239 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8240 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8241 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8242 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8243 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8244 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8247 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8251 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8252 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8253 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8254 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8255 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8259 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8263 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8264 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8265 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8266 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8267 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8268 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8269 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8270 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8271 be maintained manually.
8273 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8274 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8275 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8276 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8277 work because people forget to call this function]
8278 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8279 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8280 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8283 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8284 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8285 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8286 should be discouraged from doing it.
8289 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8290 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8291 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8292 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8293 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8294 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8297 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8298 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8299 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8301 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8302 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8303 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8305 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8306 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8307 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8308 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8309 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8310 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8312 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8313 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8314 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8316 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8317 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8320 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8321 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8322 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8323 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8326 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8329 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8330 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8331 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8332 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8333 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8334 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8335 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8336 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8337 keys so we should be OK.
8339 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8340 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8341 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8342 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8343 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8344 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8345 stay in the name of compatibility.
8347 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8348 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8349 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8351 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8352 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8353 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8354 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8355 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8356 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8360 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8361 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8362 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8363 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8364 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8365 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8366 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8367 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8368 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8369 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8370 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8371 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8372 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8375 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8378 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8379 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8380 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8381 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8382 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8383 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8384 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8385 openssl verify ss.pem
8386 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8387 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8391 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8392 (and add it to external session representation).
8393 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8394 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8395 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8396 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8397 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8398 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8400 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8402 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8403 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8404 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8405 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8407 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8408 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8409 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8412 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8413 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8414 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8418 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8419 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8420 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8422 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8423 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8424 certificate auxiliary information.
8427 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8431 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8432 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8433 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8434 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8435 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8436 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8437 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8440 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8441 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8444 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8445 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8446 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8447 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8450 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8453 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8454 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8457 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8458 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8459 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8460 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8461 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8462 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8463 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8464 using the new 'x509' options.
8466 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8467 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8468 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8469 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8473 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8474 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8475 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8476 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8477 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8480 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8481 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8482 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8483 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8484 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8485 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8486 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8487 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8488 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8489 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8492 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8493 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8494 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8495 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8496 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8497 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8498 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8501 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8502 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8503 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8504 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8505 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8506 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8507 openssl.cnf for more info.
8510 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8511 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8512 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8513 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8514 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8515 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8516 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8517 md should be large enough anyway.
8520 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8521 for handling the random seed file.
8523 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8525 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8528 x509 (when signing).
8529 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8530 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8531 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8533 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8534 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8535 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8536 that support '-rand'.
8539 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8540 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8543 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8544 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8547 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8548 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8549 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8550 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8554 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8555 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8556 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8557 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8560 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8561 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8562 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8563 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8564 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8565 print out all the purposes.
8568 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8572 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8573 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8574 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8575 single function call.
8578 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8579 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8582 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8583 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8584 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8587 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8588 when producing the local key id.
8589 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8591 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8592 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8593 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8597 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8598 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8599 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8600 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8603 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8604 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8605 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8606 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8608 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8609 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8610 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8611 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8613 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8614 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8615 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8616 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8617 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8618 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8619 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8620 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8621 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8622 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8623 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8624 trivial: move one line.
8625 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8627 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8628 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8629 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8630 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8631 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8632 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8633 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8634 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8635 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8636 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8637 with an event loop for example.
8640 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8641 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8642 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8643 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8644 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8645 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8646 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8647 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8648 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8651 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8652 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8653 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8654 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8655 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8656 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8659 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8660 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8661 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8662 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8664 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8665 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8666 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8667 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8671 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8672 (still largely untested)
8675 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8676 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8679 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8680 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8683 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8684 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8685 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8688 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8689 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8690 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8691 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8692 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8695 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8698 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8699 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8700 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8701 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8702 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8706 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8707 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8710 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8713 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8714 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8715 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8716 are otherwise ignored at present.
8719 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8720 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8721 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8722 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8723 copied until the next read.
8726 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8727 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8728 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8731 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8732 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8733 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8734 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8735 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8736 associated functions.
8739 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8740 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8741 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8742 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8743 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8744 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8745 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8746 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8747 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8751 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8752 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8753 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8754 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8757 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8758 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8759 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8760 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8761 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8765 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8766 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8770 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8771 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8772 extensions to be obtained and added.
8775 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8776 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8779 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8781 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8782 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8784 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8785 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8787 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8791 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8792 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8793 DH parameters contain its length).
8795 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8796 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8797 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8798 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8799 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8800 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8801 utter importance to use
8802 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8804 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8805 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8806 attacks may become possible!
8809 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8812 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8813 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8816 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8817 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8818 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8822 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8823 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8824 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8825 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8826 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8827 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8828 private key operations.
8831 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8834 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8835 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8837 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8838 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8839 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8840 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8841 the password callback is called.
8842 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8844 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8846 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8847 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8848 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8849 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8850 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8851 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8854 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8855 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8856 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8857 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8858 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8859 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8862 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8865 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8866 delete an unused file.
8869 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8870 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8871 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8872 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8875 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8876 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8877 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8881 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8882 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8883 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8885 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8886 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8887 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8888 comparison" warnings.
8889 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8892 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8893 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8894 derived keys are printed to stderr.
8897 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
8898 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
8900 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
8901 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
8903 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
8904 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
8905 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
8907 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
8908 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
8909 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
8910 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
8911 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
8913 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
8915 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8916 The interface is as follows:
8917 Applications can use
8918 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8919 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8920 "off" is now the default.
8921 The library internally uses
8922 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8923 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8924 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8926 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8927 even the default) are now avoided.
8929 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8930 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8931 than just having a counter.
8933 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8935 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8939 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8940 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8941 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8942 Initial "mode" flags are:
8944 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8945 a single record has been written.
8946 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8947 retries use the same buffer location.
8948 (But all of the contents must be
8952 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8955 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8956 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8958 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8959 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8960 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8963 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8964 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8966 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8968 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8969 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8970 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8971 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8973 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8974 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8976 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8977 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8978 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8979 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8980 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8981 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8984 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8985 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8986 necessary function names.
8989 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8990 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8991 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8992 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8995 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8996 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8997 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9000 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9001 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9002 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9003 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9005 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9009 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9010 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9011 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9014 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9015 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9019 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9020 for the encoded length.
9021 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9023 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9026 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9027 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9028 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9029 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9032 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9033 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9034 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9036 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9037 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9038 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9042 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9043 to use the new extension code.
9046 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9047 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9048 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9052 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9053 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9054 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9058 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9061 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9062 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9063 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9066 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9067 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9068 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9069 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9072 *) DES library cleanups.
9075 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9076 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9077 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9078 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9079 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9083 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9084 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9087 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9088 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9089 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9090 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9091 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9092 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9093 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9094 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9095 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9098 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9099 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9100 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9101 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9102 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9103 value doesn't matter.
9106 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9110 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9111 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9112 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9113 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9115 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9118 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9119 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9120 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9122 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9123 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9125 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9128 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9131 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9134 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9138 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9140 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9142 *) Updated some demos.
9143 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9145 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9148 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9151 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9154 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9155 instead of using a fixed path.
9158 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9161 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9165 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9167 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9168 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9169 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9171 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9172 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9173 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9174 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9175 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9176 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9177 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9178 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9179 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9180 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9183 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9184 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9187 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9188 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9189 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9190 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9191 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9193 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9196 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9197 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9198 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9201 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9204 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9205 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9206 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9207 key elements as negative integers.
9210 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9211 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9214 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9216 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9217 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9218 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9221 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9222 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9223 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9224 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9225 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9228 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9231 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9232 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9233 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9234 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9236 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9237 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9238 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9240 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9241 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9242 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9243 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9244 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9245 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9246 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9247 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9248 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9250 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9251 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9252 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9253 does not influence s as it used to.
9255 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9256 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9257 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9258 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9259 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9260 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9263 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9264 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9265 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9269 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9270 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9271 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9275 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9276 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9277 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9281 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9282 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9285 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9286 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9291 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9292 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9294 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9295 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9297 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9300 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9303 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9304 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9306 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9307 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9308 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9312 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9313 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9314 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9315 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9316 now it really counts the depth.
9319 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9320 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9321 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9322 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9323 didn't match the private key).
9325 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9326 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9327 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9330 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9333 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9337 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9338 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9339 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9342 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9345 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9346 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9347 such as /usr/local/bin.
9350 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9351 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9353 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9356 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9357 extension adding in x509 utility.
9360 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9363 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9367 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9370 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9371 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9372 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9373 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9374 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9375 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9376 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9377 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9378 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9379 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9382 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9385 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9386 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9389 *) Fix some race conditions.
9392 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9393 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9396 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9399 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9400 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9401 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9402 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9404 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9405 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9407 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9408 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9409 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9411 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9412 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9414 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9417 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9418 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9420 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9423 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9424 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9426 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9427 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9430 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9431 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9434 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9435 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9438 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9439 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9442 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9443 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9446 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9447 support typesafe stack.
9450 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9451 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9453 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9454 old X509V3 handling code.
9457 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9460 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9463 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9466 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9467 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9469 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9470 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9471 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9472 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9473 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9476 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9477 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9478 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9479 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9480 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9482 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9483 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9484 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9485 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9487 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9488 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9489 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9490 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9492 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9493 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9494 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9495 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9496 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9497 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9500 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9501 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9504 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9505 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9508 *) Tweaks to Configure
9509 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9511 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9515 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9518 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9519 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9522 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9523 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9524 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9527 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9530 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9531 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9534 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9535 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9536 to library startup routines.
9539 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9540 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9541 codes along the way.
9544 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9545 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9546 objects to objects.h
9549 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9550 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9553 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9554 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9556 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9557 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9558 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9560 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9561 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9562 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9564 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9565 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9566 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9569 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9571 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9572 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9575 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9576 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9577 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9578 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9579 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9581 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9582 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9583 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9585 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9587 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9589 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9591 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9592 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9594 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9595 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9596 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9597 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9599 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9602 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9603 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9604 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9605 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9608 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9609 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9610 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9613 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9614 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9615 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9616 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9617 installed as `perl').
9618 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9620 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9621 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9623 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9624 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9625 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9626 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9627 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9630 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9633 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9634 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9635 is horrible: I feel ill....
9638 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9639 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9640 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9641 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9644 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9645 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9647 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9648 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9649 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9650 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9652 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9653 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9654 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9655 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9656 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9657 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9659 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9661 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9662 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9664 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9665 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9667 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9670 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9671 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9675 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9676 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9677 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9678 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9679 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9680 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9681 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9682 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9683 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9684 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9685 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9687 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9690 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9691 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9692 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9693 for linking it into DSOs.
9694 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9696 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9700 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9701 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9702 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9703 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9704 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9705 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9707 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9708 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9709 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9710 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9711 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9712 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9713 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9715 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9716 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9717 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9721 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9722 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9723 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9724 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9727 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9728 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9729 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9730 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9731 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9735 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9736 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9737 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9738 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9739 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9741 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9742 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9743 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9745 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9746 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9748 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9749 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9750 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9751 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9752 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9755 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9756 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9757 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9758 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9759 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9760 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9761 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9764 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9766 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9767 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9770 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9771 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9773 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9774 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9777 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9778 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9779 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9780 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9781 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9783 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9784 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9785 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9786 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9787 no way to reconfigure them.
9788 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9789 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9790 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9791 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9792 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9793 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9795 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9796 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9797 recognized by the users.
9798 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9800 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9801 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9802 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9803 already masked variable.
9804 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9806 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9807 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9809 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9810 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9811 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9812 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9814 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9815 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9816 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9818 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9819 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9820 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9821 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9822 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9823 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9824 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9825 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9827 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9829 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9830 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9831 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9833 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9834 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9838 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9839 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9841 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9842 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9843 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9844 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9847 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9850 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9851 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9853 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9856 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9857 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9860 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9861 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9864 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9865 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9866 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9867 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9868 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9869 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9870 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9873 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9874 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9876 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9877 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9878 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9879 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9880 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9882 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9883 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9884 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9887 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9888 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9892 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9893 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9894 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9896 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
9897 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
9898 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
9902 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
9903 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
9904 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
9905 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
9908 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
9909 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
9910 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
9911 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
9914 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
9915 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9916 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9917 so it wasn't spotted.
9918 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9920 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9921 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9922 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9923 vectors if you have them.
9926 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9927 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9930 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9931 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9932 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9933 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9935 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9936 it will update them.
9939 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9940 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9941 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9942 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9943 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9944 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9945 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9946 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9948 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9949 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9950 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9951 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9952 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9953 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9954 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9955 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9956 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9957 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9959 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9960 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9961 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9962 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9963 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9966 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9970 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9971 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9973 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9974 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9976 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9977 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9980 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9981 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9983 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9984 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9986 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9989 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9993 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9994 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9995 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9996 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9998 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10001 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10004 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10007 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10008 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10011 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10012 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10016 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10017 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10020 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10021 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10022 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10025 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10026 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10027 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10028 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10029 properly to be processed.
10032 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10033 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10034 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10037 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10038 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10040 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10041 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10042 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10043 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10044 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10045 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10046 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10047 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10048 or delete all the .err files.
10051 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10052 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10053 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10054 to regenerate it if needed.
10055 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10056 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10058 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10059 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10061 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10062 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10063 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10064 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10065 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10068 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10069 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10071 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10072 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10074 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10075 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10076 error, but didn't set one).
10077 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10079 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10082 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10083 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10086 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10087 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10089 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10090 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10091 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10092 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10093 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10094 OID is not part of the table.
10097 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10098 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10101 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10104 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10105 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10109 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10110 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10112 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10114 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10116 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10117 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10119 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10120 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10122 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10123 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10125 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10126 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10129 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10130 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10133 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10134 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10136 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10137 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10139 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10140 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10142 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10143 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10145 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10146 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10147 unused in the certificate verification process.
10148 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10150 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10151 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10154 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10155 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10156 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10158 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10159 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10160 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10161 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10162 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10164 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10165 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10168 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10171 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10174 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10175 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10177 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10180 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10183 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10186 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10187 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10188 other error libraries.
10191 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10194 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10195 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10199 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10200 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10201 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10202 the new set of documenation files.
10203 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10205 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10206 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10207 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10208 number of arguments.
10209 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10211 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10214 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10215 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10216 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10218 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10221 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10225 unixware-2.0-pentium
10229 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10230 before they are needed.
10233 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10237 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10239 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10240 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10241 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10243 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10246 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10247 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10248 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10250 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10251 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10252 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10254 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10255 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10256 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10258 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10259 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10261 *) Updated the README file.
10262 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10264 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10265 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10268 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10269 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10270 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10272 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10273 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10274 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10275 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10276 o removed obsolete TODO file
10277 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10278 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10280 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10281 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10282 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
10283 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
10284 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
10285 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10286 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10288 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10291 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10292 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10293 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10295 [The OpenSSL Project]
10298 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10300 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10303 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10306 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10307 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10310 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10311 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10315 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10317 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10319 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10322 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10325 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10328 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10331 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10334 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10337 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10340 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10343 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10346 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10349 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10352 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10355 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10358 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10361 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10364 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10367 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10370 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10371 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10372 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10375 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10376 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10379 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10382 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10385 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10386 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10389 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10392 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10395 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
10396 bytes sent in the client random.
