5 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
8 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
9 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
12 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
14 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
15 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
16 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
18 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
19 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
20 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
22 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
23 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
26 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
28 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
30 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
31 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
32 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
33 code on a vulnerable client or server.
35 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
36 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
38 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
39 are subject to a denial of service attack.
41 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
42 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
43 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
45 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
47 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
49 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
51 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
53 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
54 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
56 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
58 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
59 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
62 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
63 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
64 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
65 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
67 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
68 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
69 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
70 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
72 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
73 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
74 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
76 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
78 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
79 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
80 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
81 is at least 512 bytes long.
83 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
85 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
87 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
88 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
89 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
92 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
93 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
94 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
97 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
98 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
99 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
100 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
101 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
102 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
103 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
105 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
107 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
108 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
109 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
111 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
113 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
115 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
116 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
117 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
119 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
120 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
121 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
122 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
124 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
126 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
127 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
128 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
129 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
130 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
134 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
135 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
138 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
139 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
141 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
142 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
143 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
144 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
145 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
147 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
150 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
154 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
156 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
157 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
159 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
160 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
164 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
165 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
168 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
172 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
174 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
175 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
176 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
177 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
178 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
179 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
180 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
181 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
182 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
183 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
186 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
187 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
188 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
189 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
190 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
191 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
195 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
197 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
198 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
199 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
201 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
202 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
204 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
206 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
209 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
210 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
212 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
213 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
214 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
215 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
216 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
217 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
218 Most broken servers should now work.
219 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
220 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
223 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
226 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
228 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
229 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
232 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
233 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
234 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
235 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
236 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
239 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
240 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
241 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
242 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
243 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
246 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
247 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
249 *) Add support for SCTP.
250 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
252 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
253 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
255 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
257 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
258 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
259 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
260 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
261 - s390x: z196 support;
262 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
266 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
267 (removal of unnecessary code)
268 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
270 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
273 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
276 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
277 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
278 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
280 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
282 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
283 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
284 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
285 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
286 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
288 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
289 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
290 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
292 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
293 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
294 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
296 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
297 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
299 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
301 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
302 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
303 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
306 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
307 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
311 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
312 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
313 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
316 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
317 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
318 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
319 the appropriate parameters.
322 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
323 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
324 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
325 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
326 against a number of sample certificates.
329 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
330 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
332 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
333 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
335 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
336 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
340 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
344 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
345 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
346 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
350 *) Session-handling fixes:
351 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
352 but also support Session Tickets.
353 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
354 presented a ticket with an expired session.
355 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
356 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
357 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
358 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
360 *) Fix PSK session representation.
363 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
365 This work was sponsored by Intel.
368 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
369 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
370 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
371 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
372 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
375 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
376 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
379 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
380 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
381 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
384 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
385 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
386 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
387 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
390 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
391 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
392 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
395 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
396 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
398 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
401 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
402 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
405 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
408 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
409 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
412 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
413 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
416 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
419 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
420 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
421 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
424 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
427 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
430 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
431 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
434 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
435 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
436 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
439 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
442 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
446 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
447 FIPS modules versions.
450 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
451 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
452 until after the certificate request message is received.
455 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
456 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
457 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
458 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
461 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
462 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
463 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
464 support yet and no support for client certificates.
467 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
468 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
469 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
470 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
471 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
472 and version checking.
475 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
476 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
477 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
478 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
482 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
484 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
487 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
488 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
489 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
491 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
492 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
493 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
496 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
497 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
499 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
500 a few changes are required:
502 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
504 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
505 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
506 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
509 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
511 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
513 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
514 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found

522 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
524 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
525 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
528 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
529 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
530 so it returns the certificate actually sent.

566 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
568 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
569 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
570 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
571 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
572 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
573 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
574 an MMA defence is not necessary.
575 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
576 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)

623 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
625 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
626 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
628 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
629 [Adam Langley (Google)]
631 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
632 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
634 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
635 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
636 [Adam Langley (Google)]
638 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
639 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
640 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
642 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
643 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
644 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
645 the last update always remained unused).
646 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
648 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
649 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
651 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
653 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
654 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
655 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
657 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
658 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
659 [Adam Langley (Google)]
661 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
664 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
665 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
666 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
669 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
670 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
672 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
674 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
676 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
678 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
679 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
681 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
682 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
686 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
688 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
689 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
690 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
693 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
694 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
695 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
698 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
700 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
701 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
702 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
705 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
709 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
711 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
713 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
715 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
717 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
718 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
719 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
722 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
725 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
726 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
727 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
729 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
730 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
731 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
734 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
735 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
738 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
739 some responders need this.
742 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
744 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
746 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
747 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
748 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
751 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
754 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
755 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
756 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
757 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
758 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
759 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
760 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
761 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
764 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
765 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
766 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
767 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
769 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
770 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
772 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
776 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
777 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
778 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
779 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
780 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
781 attempting to work them out.
784 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
785 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
786 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
787 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
790 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
791 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
792 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
793 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
794 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
797 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
798 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
805 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
807 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
811 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
812 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
814 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
815 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
817 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
818 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
819 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
820 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
821 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
824 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
825 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
826 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
829 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
830 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
833 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
834 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
836 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
837 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
840 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
843 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
844 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
845 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
849 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
850 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
851 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
852 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
853 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
854 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
857 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
858 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
860 This work was sponsored by Google.
863 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
864 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
865 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
866 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
867 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
868 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
869 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
872 This work was sponsored by Google.
875 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
877 This work was sponsored by Google.
880 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
881 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
882 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
883 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
885 This work was sponsored by Google.
888 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
889 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
890 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
891 CRL functionality in future.
893 This work was sponsored by Google.
896 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
898 This work was sponsored by Google.
901 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
902 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
904 This work was sponsored by Google.
907 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
908 and URI types are currently supported.
910 This work was sponsored by Google.
913 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
914 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
915 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
916 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
917 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
918 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
919 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
920 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
922 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
923 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
924 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
926 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
927 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
928 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
929 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
931 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
932 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
933 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
934 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
935 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
936 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
937 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
938 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
940 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
942 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
943 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
944 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
946 This work was sponsored by Google.
949 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
952 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
953 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
954 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
957 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
958 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
961 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
962 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
965 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
966 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
967 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
968 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
969 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
970 content types and variants.
973 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
976 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
977 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
978 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
979 files from the associated perl scripts.
982 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
983 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
984 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
986 *) s390x assembler pack.
989 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
993 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
994 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
995 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
996 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
997 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
998 to use. For example, specify an option
1000 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1002 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1003 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1004 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1005 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1006 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1007 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1009 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1010 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1011 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1012 return non-zero for success.
1014 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1017 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1018 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1022 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1025 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1026 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1027 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1028 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1029 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1030 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1031 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1032 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1033 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1035 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1036 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1037 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1038 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1039 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1040 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1042 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1043 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1044 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1045 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1046 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1047 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1051 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1054 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1056 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1057 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1058 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1061 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1062 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1065 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1066 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1067 with no application modification.
1069 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1070 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1072 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1073 or server extensions to be examined.
1075 This work was sponsored by Google.
1078 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1079 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1080 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1082 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1083 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1084 ciphersuite support.
1085 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1087 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1088 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1089 to output in BER and PEM format.
1092 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1093 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1094 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1095 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1096 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1099 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1100 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1101 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1105 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1106 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1107 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1108 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1109 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1110 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1111 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1112 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1115 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1116 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1117 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1118 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1120 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1121 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1122 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1126 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1127 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1128 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1129 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1130 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1131 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1132 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1133 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1134 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1136 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1137 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1138 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1139 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1140 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1141 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1142 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1143 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1144 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1145 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1146 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1149 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1150 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1151 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1153 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1154 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1158 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1159 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1160 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1163 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1164 it yet and it is largely untested.
1167 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1170 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1171 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1172 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1175 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1178 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1179 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1180 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1181 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1184 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1185 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1186 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1187 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1188 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1191 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1192 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1195 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1196 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1197 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1198 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1201 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1202 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1203 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1204 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1207 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1208 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1211 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1212 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1213 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1214 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1217 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1218 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1219 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1222 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1226 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1227 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1230 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1231 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1232 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1236 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1237 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1238 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1241 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1242 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1243 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1244 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1247 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1248 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1249 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1250 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1251 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1252 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1255 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1256 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1257 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1258 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1259 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1261 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1262 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1263 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1264 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1265 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1268 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1269 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1270 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1271 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1273 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1274 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1275 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1276 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1277 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1283 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1284 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1288 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1289 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1292 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1293 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1296 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1297 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1298 functional reference processing.
1301 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1302 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1306 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1307 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1308 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1311 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1312 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1313 application to support multiple signers.
1316 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1320 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1321 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1322 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1323 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1324 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1327 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1331 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1332 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1333 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1334 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1338 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1339 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1340 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1341 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1342 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1343 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1344 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1345 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1348 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1349 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1350 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1351 between digests and public key types.
1354 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1355 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1356 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1357 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1360 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1361 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1365 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1368 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1372 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1373 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1374 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1375 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1380 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1382 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1384 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1386 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1387 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1388 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1389 functionality for RSA.
1392 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1393 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1394 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1397 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1398 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1401 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1402 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1403 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1406 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1407 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1410 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1411 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1414 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1415 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1419 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1420 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1421 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1425 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1426 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1427 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1428 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1429 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1430 of public and private key structures.
1433 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1434 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1437 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1438 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1439 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1442 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1446 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1447 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1448 SSL_get_psk_identity
1449 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1451 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1453 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1454 and response verification functionality.
1455 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1457 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1458 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1459 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1460 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1461 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1462 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1463 server_name extension.
1465 New functions (subject to change):
1467 SSL_get_servername()
1468 SSL_get_servername_type()
1471 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1473 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1474 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1475 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1476 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1477 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1479 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1481 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1482 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1483 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1484 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1485 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1486 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1489 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1491 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1494 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1495 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1496 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1497 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1498 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1501 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1502 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1506 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1507 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1508 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1509 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1512 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1513 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1514 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1515 using the maximum available value.
1518 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1519 in addition to the text details.
1522 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1523 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1524 handle several customised structures at all.
1527 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1528 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1529 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1532 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1535 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1536 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1537 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1540 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1541 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1542 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1545 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1546 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1550 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1553 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1556 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
1558 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1560 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1561 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1562 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1564 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1565 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1566 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1567 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1569 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1571 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1572 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1575 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1576 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1577 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1578 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.

1580 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1582 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1585 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
1587 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1590 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1591 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1595 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1596 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1599 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
1601 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
1602 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
1603 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
1604 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
1605 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1607 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
1609 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1610 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1611 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1613 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1614 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1616 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1618 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
1620 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1621 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1622 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1623 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1624 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1625 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1626 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1627 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1628 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1631 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1632 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1633 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1636 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
1638 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1639 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1640 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1641 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1644 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
1646 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1647 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1648 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1649 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1650 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1651 paper describing this attack can be found at:

1661 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
1663 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.

1678 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1680 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1681 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1683 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1684 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1685 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1687 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1688 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1689 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1691 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1692 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1693 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1694 the last update always remained unused).
1695 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1697 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1698 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1699 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1701 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.

1729 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1730 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1733 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1735 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1736 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1737 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1740 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1743 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1744 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1745 some broken encodings work correctly.
1748 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1749 is also one of the inputs.

1752 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1753 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only

1778 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1780 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1781 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1782 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1783 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1784 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1785 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1786 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1787 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1789 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1790 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1791 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1793 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1795 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1796 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1798 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1799 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1802 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1803 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1804 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1807 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1808 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1809 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1810 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1811 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1812 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1815 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1816 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1817 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1820 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1821 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1822 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1823 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1824 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1825 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1829 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1830 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1833 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1834 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1835 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1838 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1841 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1842 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1843 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1844 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1845 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1846 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1847 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1848 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1849 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1852 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1853 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1854 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1857 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1858 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1861 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1862 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1863 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1864 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1865 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1866 know what you are doing.
1867 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1869 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1870 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1871 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1872 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1873 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1874 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1878 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1879 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1880 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1882 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1884 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1885 warnings in other configurations.
1888 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1889 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1890 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1892 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1894 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1895 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1896 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1898 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1899 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1900 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1901 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1904 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1908 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1909 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1911 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1913 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1914 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1915 other than a simple chain.
1916 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1918 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1919 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1920 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1921 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1924 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1925 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1926 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1927 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1928 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1929 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1930 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1931 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1932 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1934 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1935 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1936 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1937 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1938 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1939 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1941 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1943 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1944 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1947 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1948 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1951 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1953 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1955 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1956 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1957 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1958 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1959 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1963 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1965 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1966 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1967 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1968 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1970 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1971 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1972 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1973 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1975 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1976 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1977 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1980 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1981 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1985 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1986 to handle some structures.
1989 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1991 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1993 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1996 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1999 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2002 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2003 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2007 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2009 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2011 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2013 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2016 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2017 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2018 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2019 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2021 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2022 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2024 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2025 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2028 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2029 s_client and s_server.
2032 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2033 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2035 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2036 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2038 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2039 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2040 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2041 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2042 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2045 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2047 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2048 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2051 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2052 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2055 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2056 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2057 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2058 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2060 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2061 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2063 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2065 *) Various precautionary measures:
2067 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2069 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2070 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2071 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2073 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2074 outside the expected range.
2076 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2079 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2081 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2082 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2083 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2085 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2088 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2091 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2093 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2096 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2097 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2098 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2100 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2103 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2104 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2105 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2109 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2111 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2112 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2113 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2114 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2116 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2117 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2120 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2122 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2123 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2124 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2126 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2128 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2129 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2130 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2131 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2134 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2135 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2136 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2137 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2138 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2139 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2140 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2142 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2144 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2145 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2146 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2147 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2148 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2150 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2151 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2153 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2154 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2155 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2156 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2157 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2159 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2161 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2162 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2163 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2164 sets may exist with different names.
2167 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2168 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2169 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2170 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2171 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2172 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2173 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2174 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2175 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2177 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2179 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2180 implemention in the following ways:
2182 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2185 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2186 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2187 ignored for embedded content.
2189 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2190 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2193 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2194 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2195 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2196 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2198 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2199 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2202 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2203 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2206 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2207 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2208 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2209 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2210 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2211 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2215 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2216 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2217 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2221 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2222 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2223 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2224 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2225 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2226 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2227 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2228 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2230 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2231 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2232 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2233 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2234 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2235 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2236 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2238 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2239 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2240 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2241 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2242 to s_client and s_server.
2245 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2247 *) Fix various bugs:
2248 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2249 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2250 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2251 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2252 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2254 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2256 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2257 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2258 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2259 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2260 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2261 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2262 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2263 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2266 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2267 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2268 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2271 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2272 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2273 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2276 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2277 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2280 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2281 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2282 with no application modification.
2284 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2285 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2287 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2288 or server extensions to be examined.
2290 This work was sponsored by Google.
2293 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2294 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2295 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2296 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2297 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2298 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2299 server_name extension.
2301 New functions (subject to change):
2303 SSL_get_servername()
2304 SSL_get_servername_type()
2307 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2309 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2310 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2311 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2312 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2313 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2315 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2317 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2318 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2319 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2320 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2321 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2322 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2325 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2327 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2330 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2333 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2334 (which previously caused an internal error).
2337 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2340 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2341 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2343 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2344 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2345 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2347 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2348 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2349 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2350 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2352 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2353 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2354 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2355 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2357 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2358 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2359 information. For detailed background information, see
2360 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2361 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2362 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2363 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2364 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2365 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2366 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2367 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2368 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2369 remove a conditional branch.
2371 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2372 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2373 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2374 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2375 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2376 remains as a deprecated alias.
2378 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2379 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2380 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2381 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2383 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2384 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2385 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2386 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2387 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2388 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2389 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2390 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2392 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2394 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2395 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2396 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2397 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2398 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2399 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2400 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2401 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2402 in a different context.
2405 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2406 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2407 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2410 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2411 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2412 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2414 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2416 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2417 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2418 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2419 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2420 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2423 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2424 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2425 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2426 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2427 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2428 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2431 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2432 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2433 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2434 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2435 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2438 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2439 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2441 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2442 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2443 Improve header file function name parsing.
2446 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2447 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2450 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2452 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2453 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2454 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2456 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2457 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2459 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2460 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2462 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2463 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2464 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2466 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2467 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2468 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2469 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2470 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2471 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2472 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2473 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2474 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2476 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2477 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2478 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2479 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2480 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2482 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2483 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2484 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2485 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2486 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2487 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2488 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2489 multiple values to extend the available space.
2493 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2495 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2496 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2498 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2501 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2502 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2503 undesirable limitations.
2504 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2506 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2507 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2508 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2509 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2510 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2511 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2512 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2515 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2517 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2518 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2519 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2521 The latter two were purportedly from
2522 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2525 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2526 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2527 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2530 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2531 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2534 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2535 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2536 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2537 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2539 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2540 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2541 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2544 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2545 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2546 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2547 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2548 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2549 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2552 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2554 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2555 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2558 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2559 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2561 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2562 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2563 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2564 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2567 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2568 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2571 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2572 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2573 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2574 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2575 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2576 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2577 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2581 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2582 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2583 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2584 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2587 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2588 under VC++ build system.
2591 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2592 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2595 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2597 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2598 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2599 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2600 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2601 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2603 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2604 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2605 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2607 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2610 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2611 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2614 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2615 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2617 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2620 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2621 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2623 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2624 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2627 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2628 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2632 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2634 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2637 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2640 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2641 key into the same file any more.
2644 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2647 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2648 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2650 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2651 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2654 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2655 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2656 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2657 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2658 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2659 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2661 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2662 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2663 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2666 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2667 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2668 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2669 - add new function for parameter creation
2670 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2671 BN_BLINDING parameters
2672 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2673 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2674 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2678 *) Add support for DTLS.
2679 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2681 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2682 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2685 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2686 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2689 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2690 the apps/openssl applications.
2693 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2694 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2695 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2698 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2699 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2701 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2702 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2704 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2705 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2706 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2707 avoid this algorithm.)
2711 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2712 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2713 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2716 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2717 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2720 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2721 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2722 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2725 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2727 The blank line is mandatory.
2731 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2732 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2736 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2737 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2739 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2740 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2741 to support policy checking and print out.
2744 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2745 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2746 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2747 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2749 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2752 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2753 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2755 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2756 implementation contributed by IBM.
2757 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2759 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2760 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2761 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2762 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2764 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2765 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2767 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2768 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2769 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2770 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2771 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2772 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2775 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2776 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2777 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2778 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2779 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2780 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2781 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2784 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2787 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2788 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2789 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2790 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2791 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2792 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2793 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2794 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2797 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2798 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2799 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2800 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2803 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2806 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2809 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2810 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2811 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2812 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2813 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2814 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2815 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2818 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2819 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2822 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2823 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2824 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2827 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2828 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2829 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2833 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2834 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2837 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2838 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2839 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2840 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2843 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2844 initialised value as BN_new().
2845 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2847 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2850 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2851 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2852 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2853 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2854 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2855 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2856 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2857 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2858 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2859 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2860 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2861 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2862 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2863 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2864 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2866 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2867 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2868 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2869 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2872 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2873 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2874 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2875 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2876 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2877 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2878 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2879 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2880 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2883 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2884 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2885 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2886 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2887 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2888 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2889 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2892 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2893 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2894 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2895 these have been updated also.
2898 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2899 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2900 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2901 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2902 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2906 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2907 structure of type "other".
2910 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2911 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2912 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2913 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2914 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2915 situation in the script.
2916 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2918 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2919 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2920 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2921 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2922 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2923 used as premaster secret.
2924 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2926 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2927 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2928 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2930 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2931 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2933 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2934 control of the error stack.
2937 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2940 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2941 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2942 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2943 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2946 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2947 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2948 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2951 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2952 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2953 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2957 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2958 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2959 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2960 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2963 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2964 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2965 the following flags are defined:
2967 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2968 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2969 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2972 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2973 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2974 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2975 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2979 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2980 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2981 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2982 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2983 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2986 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2987 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2988 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2991 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2992 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2993 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2994 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2995 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2996 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2999 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3003 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3006 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3009 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3012 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3013 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3014 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3015 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3016 default implementation more easily.
3019 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3023 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3024 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3027 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3028 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3029 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3030 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3032 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3033 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3034 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3035 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3038 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3039 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3043 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3044 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3045 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3046 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3047 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3048 scalar * generator).
3049 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3051 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3052 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3053 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3057 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3058 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3059 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3060 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3061 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3062 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3063 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3064 linker additions, eg;
3065 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3068 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3069 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3070 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3073 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3074 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3075 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3079 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3080 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3081 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3082 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3085 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3086 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3087 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3088 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3089 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3090 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3091 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3092 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3093 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3094 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3096 Example for using the new callback interface:
3098 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3102 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3104 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3105 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3106 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3107 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3108 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3109 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3114 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3115 available to TLS with the number defined in
3116 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3119 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3120 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3122 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3123 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3124 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3125 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3127 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3128 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3130 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3131 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3135 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3136 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3139 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3140 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3141 and a macro that behave like
3142 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3144 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3147 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3148 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3149 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3151 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3153 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3156 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3157 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3158 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3159 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3161 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3162 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3163 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3164 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3165 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3166 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3167 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3168 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3170 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3171 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3174 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3175 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3177 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3178 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3179 files while avoiding the low level API.
3181 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3182 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3183 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3184 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3186 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3187 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3188 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3189 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3190 instead of the low level API.
3193 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3194 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3195 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3196 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3197 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3200 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3201 down to the template encoder.
3204 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3205 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3208 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3209 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3210 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3211 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3213 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3214 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3216 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3217 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3219 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3220 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3223 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3224 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3225 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3228 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3229 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3231 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3232 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3234 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3235 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3238 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3242 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3243 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3244 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3245 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3246 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3247 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3249 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3250 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3253 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3254 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3255 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3256 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3257 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3258 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3259 various internal method names.)
3261 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3262 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3264 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3265 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3267 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3268 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3270 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3271 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3272 methods are undefined.
3274 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3275 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3277 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3278 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3279 length of the modulus.
3281 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3282 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3284 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3285 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3287 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3288 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3290 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3291 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3292 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3295 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3296 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3297 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3298 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3300 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3301 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3302 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3303 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3305 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3306 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3308 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3309 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3310 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3311 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3312 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3314 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3315 This applies to the following functions:
3320 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3321 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3323 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3324 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3328 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3333 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3335 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3336 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3337 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3338 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3339 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3341 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3342 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3344 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3345 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3346 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3348 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3349 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3351 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3352 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3353 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3354 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3355 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3357 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3359 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3360 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3361 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3362 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3363 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3364 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3365 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3366 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3367 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3368 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3369 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3370 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3372 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3375 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3376 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3377 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3378 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3380 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3381 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3382 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3383 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3388 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3389 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3390 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3391 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3392 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3394 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3395 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3396 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3397 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3398 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3399 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3400 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3401 adding different types of curves.
3402 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3404 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3405 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3406 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3409 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3410 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3412 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3413 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3414 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3415 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3417 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3419 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3420 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3422 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3423 library. Most notably,
3424 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3425 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3426 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3427 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3428 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3429 extracted before the specific public key;
3430 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3431 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3433 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3434 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3436 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3437 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3438 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3439 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3441 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3442 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3443 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3445 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3446 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3447 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3448 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3449 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3450 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3454 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3456 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3458 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3460 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3461 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3462 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3465 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3466 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3467 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3470 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3473 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3474 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3477 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3478 run algorithm test programs.
3481 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3484 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3485 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3486 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3487 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3488 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3491 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3492 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3495 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3497 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3498 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3499 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3501 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3502 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3504 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3505 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3507 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3508 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3509 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3511 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3512 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3513 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3514 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3515 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3516 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3517 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3520 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3522 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3523 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3525 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3526 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3527 undesirable limitations.
3528 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3530 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3532 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3533 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3534 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3536 The latter two were purportedly from
3537 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3540 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3541 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3542 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3545 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3546 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3549 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3551 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3552 module in FIPS mode.
3555 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3558 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3559 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3560 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3561 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3564 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3566 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3567 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3568 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3569 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3570 the difference induced by this change.
3573 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3575 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3576 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3577 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3578 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3579 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3581 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3582 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3583 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3585 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3586 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3589 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3590 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3591 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3592 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3596 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3597 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3598 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3599 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3600 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3602 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3603 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3604 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3605 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3606 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3607 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3609 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3611 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3612 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3613 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3614 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3615 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3618 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3622 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3623 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3624 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3627 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3628 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3629 structures constant.
3632 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3634 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3637 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3638 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3639 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3640 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3641 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3642 some needed definitions.
3645 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3648 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3649 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3650 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3651 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3654 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3656 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3657 server and client random values. Previously
3658 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3659 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3661 This change has negligible security impact because:
3663 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3666 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3669 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3670 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3673 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3676 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3678 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3681 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3682 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3683 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3685 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3688 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3689 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3692 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3693 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3694 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3696 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3699 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3700 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3701 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3705 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3706 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3707 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3708 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3710 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3711 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3712 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3713 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3717 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3719 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3720 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3721 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3722 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3723 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3726 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3729 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3730 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3732 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3733 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3734 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3735 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3736 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3737 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3738 rather than being initialized to 1.
3741 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3743 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3744 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3745 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3747 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3749 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3751 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3752 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3753 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3754 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3755 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3756 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3759 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3760 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3761 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3762 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3763 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3767 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3768 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3769 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3770 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3771 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3774 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3775 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3776 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3780 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3781 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3783 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3786 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3788 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3790 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3791 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3793 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3795 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3796 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3800 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3801 exiting on the first error in a request.
3804 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3805 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3809 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3810 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3811 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3812 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3814 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3815 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3818 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3819 blocks during encryption.
3822 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3823 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3824 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3825 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3829 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3830 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3831 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3832 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3833 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3837 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3839 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3840 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3841 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3842 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3845 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3846 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3847 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3848 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3849 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3851 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3852 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3853 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3854 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3855 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3856 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3857 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3858 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3859 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3862 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3863 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3864 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3865 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3868 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3869 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3872 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3874 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3875 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3876 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3877 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3878 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3880 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3881 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3882 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3884 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3885 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3886 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3887 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3888 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3890 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3891 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3892 used by default when no-err is given.
3895 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3896 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3898 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3899 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3900 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3901 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3902 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3904 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3905 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3906 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3907 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3909 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3911 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3913 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3915 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3916 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3917 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3918 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3922 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3923 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3925 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3926 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3929 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3930 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3931 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3932 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3935 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3936 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3937 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3938 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3939 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3940 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3941 followup to PR #377.
3944 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3945 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3948 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3949 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3950 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
3951 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
3953 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
3955 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3958 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3959 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3960 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3961 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
3963 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3967 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
3968 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
3972 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3973 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3974 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3975 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3976 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3977 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3979 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3980 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3981 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3982 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3983 have to be made anyway).
3986 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3987 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3988 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3991 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3992 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3993 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3996 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3997 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3998 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4000 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
4001 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4002 edit numbers of the version.
4003 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4005 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
4006 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
4007 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4009 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4010 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4012 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4013 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4014 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4016 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4017 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4019 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
4020 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4022 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4023 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4025 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4026 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4028 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4030 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4032 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4033 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4034 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4036 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4037 representations in a platform independent manner.
4038 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4040 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4041 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4042 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4044 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4046 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4048 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4049 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4051 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4053 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4055 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4056 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4057 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4059 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4061 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4063 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4064 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4066 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4067 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4069 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4070 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4072 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4073 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4075 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4077 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4079 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4080 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4082 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4083 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4085 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4086 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4088 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4090 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4091 the 0.9.6 release series:
4093 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4094 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4096 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4098 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4101 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4102 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4104 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4105 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4107 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4108 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4109 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4110 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4112 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4113 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4114 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4116 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4117 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4118 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4119 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4121 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4122 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4123 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4126 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4127 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4128 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4129 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4130 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4131 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4132 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4133 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4136 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4137 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4138 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4141 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4142 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4143 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4144 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4145 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4147 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4148 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4150 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4151 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4154 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4155 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4156 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4157 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4158 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4159 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4162 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4163 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4164 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4167 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4168 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4171 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4172 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4173 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4174 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4175 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4176 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4177 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4180 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4181 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4182 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4183 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4184 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4185 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4188 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4189 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4190 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4191 declaration has been changed from
4194 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4195 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4196 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4197 has been changed into
4198 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4200 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4201 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4202 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4204 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4205 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4207 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4208 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4209 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4210 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4211 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4212 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4213 always load it have also been added.
4216 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4217 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4218 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4220 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4222 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4223 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4224 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4226 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4227 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4228 command line option can be used to specify an
4232 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4233 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4236 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4237 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4238 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4241 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4242 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4243 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4244 to work with the new engine framework.
4245 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4247 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4248 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4249 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4250 to work with the new engine framework.
4253 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4254 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4255 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4257 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4258 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4260 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4261 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4262 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4263 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4265 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4267 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4268 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4270 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4271 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4273 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4274 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4275 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4278 *) Add new functions
4280 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4281 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4282 These are similar to
4285 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4286 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4287 still in the error queue.
4288 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4290 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4292 default_algorithms = ALL
4293 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4296 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4299 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4302 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4303 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4304 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4305 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4307 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4308 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4310 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4311 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4313 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4314 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4317 *) New functions/macros
4319 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4320 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4321 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4322 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4324 to request calling a callback function
4326 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4327 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4329 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4330 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4331 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4332 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4333 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4334 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4335 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4336 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4337 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4338 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4340 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4341 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4344 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4345 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4346 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4347 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4348 the configuration scripts.
4350 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4351 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4352 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4354 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4355 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4357 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4358 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4359 when reusing an existing buffer.
4362 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4363 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4366 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4367 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4370 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4371 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4372 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4373 has the same effect.
4374 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4376 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4377 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4378 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4379 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4380 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4381 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4384 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4385 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4386 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4387 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4389 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4390 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4391 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4392 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4394 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4395 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4398 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4399 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4400 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4401 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4402 default), and then completely removed.
4405 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4406 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4407 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4408 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4409 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4410 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4411 particular extension is supported.
4414 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4415 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4418 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4419 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4420 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4421 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4422 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4423 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4424 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4425 requires the destination to be valid.
4427 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4428 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4431 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4432 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4433 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4436 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4437 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4439 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4440 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4441 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4442 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4443 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4444 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4445 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4446 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4447 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4448 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4449 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4450 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4451 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4452 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4453 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4454 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4455 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4456 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4457 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4461 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4464 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4465 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4466 become part of libeay.num as well.
4469 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4470 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4471 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4472 false once a handshake has been completed.
4473 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4474 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4475 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4476 client has followed the request.)
4479 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4480 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4481 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4482 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4484 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4485 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4486 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4489 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4492 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4493 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4494 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4497 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4498 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4501 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4502 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4503 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4504 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4507 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4508 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4509 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4510 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4511 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4512 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4515 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4516 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4517 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4518 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4519 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4520 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4521 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4522 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4525 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4526 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4529 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4532 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4533 md_data void pointer.
4536 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4537 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4538 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4539 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4540 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4541 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4544 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4545 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4546 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4547 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4548 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4549 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4550 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4551 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4552 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4553 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4554 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4555 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4556 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4557 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4558 rather than letting it slide.
4560 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4561 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4562 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4565 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4566 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4567 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4568 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4569 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4570 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4571 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4572 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4573 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4576 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4577 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4578 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4579 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4580 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4582 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4585 *) Add EVP test program.
4588 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4591 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4592 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4593 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4594 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4595 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4598 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4599 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4600 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4601 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4602 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4603 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4604 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4606 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4607 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4608 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4613 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4614 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4615 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4616 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4617 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4621 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4622 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4623 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4624 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4627 des_key_schedule ks;
4629 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4630 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4632 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4635 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4636 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4637 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4638 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4639 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4640 functions prevents this.
4643 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4646 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4647 correct _ecb suffix.
4650 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4651 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4652 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4653 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4654 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4657 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4660 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4661 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4662 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4663 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4665 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4666 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4668 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.

4670 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4671 via Richard Levitte]
4673 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4674 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4675 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4676 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4679 *) Speed up EVP routines.

4697 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4698 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4700 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4701 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4702 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4703 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4704 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4705 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4708 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4709 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4712 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4713 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4714 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().

4717 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4718 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4719 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4720 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4721 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4722 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4726 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4727 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4728 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4729 and interrupts/cancellations.
4732 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4733 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4736 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4737 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4738 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4740 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4741 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4745 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4746 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4747 than this minimum value is recommended.
4750 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4751 that are easily reachable.
4754 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4755 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4757 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4759 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4760 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4761 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4762 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4765 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4766 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4767 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4770 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4771 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4772 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4773 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4774 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4775 internally such as S/MIME.
4777 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
4778 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
4779 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
4781 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
4785 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
4786 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
4787 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
4788 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
4790 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4792 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
4794 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
4795 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4796 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4800 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4801 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4802 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4803 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4804 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4805 a window system and the like.
4808 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4809 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4812 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4813 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4814 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4815 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4816 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4817 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4818 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4819 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4820 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4824 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4825 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4829 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4830 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4831 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4832 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4833 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4834 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4835 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4836 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4839 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4840 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4841 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4842 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4843 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4844 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4845 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4846 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4847 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4848 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4849 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4850 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4851 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4852 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4853 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4854 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4855 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4858 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4859 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4860 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4861 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4862 internal engine_int.h header.
4865 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4866 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4867 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4868 modify their own ones).
4871 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4872 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4873 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4874 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4875 later on via ctrl() commands.
4876 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4877 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4878 structural references.
4879 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
4880 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
4881 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
4882 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
4883 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
4884 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
4885 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
4886 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4887 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4888 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4889 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4890 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4893 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4894 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4895 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4896 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4897 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4898 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4899 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4900 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4903 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4904 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4907 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4908 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4911 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4912 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4913 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4914 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4915 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4916 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4917 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4920 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4921 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4922 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4923 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4924 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4926 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4927 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4931 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4933 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4934 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4935 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4937 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4938 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4940 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4941 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4942 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4944 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4945 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4947 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4948 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4950 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4952 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4953 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4954 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4957 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4958 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4961 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4962 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4963 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4964 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4965 is 40 of more characters long.
4968 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4969 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4973 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4974 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4977 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4978 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4982 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4984 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4985 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4988 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4990 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4991 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4992 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4994 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4995 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4997 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5000 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5004 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5005 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5006 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5007 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5009 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5011 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5012 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5014 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5015 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5016 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5017 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5018 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5019 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5021 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5022 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5024 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5025 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5027 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5028 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5030 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5031 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5032 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5033 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5035 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5036 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5038 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5039 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5041 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5042 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5043 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5044 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5045 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5048 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5049 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5050 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5051 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5054 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5055 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5056 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5060 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5061 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5062 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5063 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5064 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5065 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5066 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5067 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5071 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5072 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5075 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5076 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5077 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5078 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5081 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5082 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5083 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5084 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5085 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5086 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5087 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5088 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5089 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5090 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5093 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5094 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5095 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5096 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5097 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5098 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5099 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5100 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5102 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5103 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5104 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5105 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5108 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5109 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5110 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5111 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5113 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5114 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5115 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5116 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5117 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5121 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5122 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5123 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5124 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5128 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5129 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5130 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5133 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5134 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5135 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5136 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5137 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5140 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5143 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5144 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5145 option to ocsp utility.
5148 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5149 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5150 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5151 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5152 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5153 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5154 the request is nonce-less.
5157 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5158 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5159 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5162 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5163 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5164 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5167 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5168 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5169 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5170 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5171 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5174 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5175 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5179 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5180 additional certificates supplied.
5183 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5184 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5188 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5189 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5192 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5193 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5194 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5195 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5196 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5197 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5198 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5199 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5200 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5202 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5203 request to response.
5206 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5207 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5208 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5209 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5210 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5211 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5212 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5213 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5214 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5215 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5216 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5219 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5220 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5221 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5222 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5225 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5226 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5228 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5229 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5230 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5233 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5234 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5235 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5236 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5237 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5239 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5240 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5241 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5244 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5245 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5246 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5247 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5248 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5249 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5250 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5251 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5253 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5254 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5255 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5256 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5257 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5258 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5261 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5262 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5263 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5264 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5265 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5266 printout format cleaned up.
5269 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5270 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5271 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5272 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5273 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5274 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5275 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5276 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5279 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5280 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5281 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5282 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5283 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5284 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5285 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5286 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5289 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5290 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5291 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5292 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5294 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5296 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5297 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5298 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5299 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5302 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5303 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5304 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5305 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5307 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5309 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5310 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5311 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5312 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5314 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5315 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5317 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5318 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5319 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5322 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5323 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5324 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5327 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5328 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5329 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5330 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5331 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5332 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5333 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5334 functions are provided:
5336 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5337 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5338 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5339 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5341 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5342 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5343 extended allocation function is enabled.
5344 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5345 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5346 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5348 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5349 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5350 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5351 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5352 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5355 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5356 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5357 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5359 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5360 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5361 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5364 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5365 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5366 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5367 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5368 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5369 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5370 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5371 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5372 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5375 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5376 provide utility functions which an application needing
5377 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5378 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5379 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5381 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5382 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5383 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5384 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5385 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5386 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5387 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5388 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5389 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5391 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5392 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5393 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5394 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5397 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5398 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5399 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5400 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5401 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5402 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5403 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5404 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5405 will be added elsewhere.
5408 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5409 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5410 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5411 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5414 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5415 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5416 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5417 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5418 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5419 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5420 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5421 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5422 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5423 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5424 to produce the required SET OF.
5427 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5428 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5429 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5432 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5433 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5434 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5435 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5436 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5437 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5440 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5441 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5442 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5445 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5446 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5447 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5450 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5451 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5452 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5453 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5454 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5457 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5458 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5461 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5462 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5463 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5464 certifcates and CRLs.
5467 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5468 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5469 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5472 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5473 entries for variables.
5476 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5477 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5478 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5479 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5482 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5483 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5484 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5485 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5486 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5487 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5490 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5491 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5493 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5494 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5495 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5498 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5502 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5503 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5504 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5505 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5506 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5507 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5510 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5513 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5514 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5515 for now but they will eventually go away.
5518 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5519 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5520 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5521 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5522 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5523 has also been converted to the new form.
5526 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5527 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5528 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5529 for negative moduli.
5532 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5533 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5536 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5540 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5541 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5542 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5543 type-specific callbacks.
5546 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5548 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5549 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5551 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5552 in sections depending on the subject.
5555 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5559 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5560 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5561 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5562 be handled deterministically).
5563 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5565 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5566 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5567 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5570 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5573 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5574 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5575 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5576 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5577 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5580 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5581 sign of the number in question.
5583 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5585 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5586 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5587 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5588 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5589 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5592 *) New function BN_swap.
5595 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5596 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5597 results on negative inputs.
5600 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5601 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5602 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5605 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5606 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5607 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5608 and add new functions:
5617 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5621 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5623 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5624 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5626 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5627 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5628 be reduced modulo m.
5629 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5632 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5633 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5634 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5636 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5637 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5638 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5639 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5640 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5641 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5646 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5647 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5648 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5649 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5650 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5652 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5653 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5654 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5658 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5661 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5662 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5665 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5666 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5667 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5668 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5672 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5675 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5678 *) Add the following functions:
5680 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5682 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5684 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5686 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5687 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5688 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5689 libraries unless it's really needed.
5691 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5692 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5693 declarations (they differed!).
5696 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5699 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5702 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5705 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5706 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5709 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5710 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5711 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5713 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5714 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5717 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5720 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5723 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5726 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5727 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5728 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5730 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5731 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5732 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5733 different shared library filenames on each system.
5736 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5739 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5740 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5741 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5743 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5746 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5747 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5748 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5749 binary backward compatibility.
5750 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5751 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5752 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5756 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5757 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5758 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5759 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5763 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5766 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5767 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5768 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5769 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5773 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5776 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
5778 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5779 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5780 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5782 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
5784 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
5786 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
5787 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
5790 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
5792 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5794 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5795 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5797 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5798 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5802 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5803 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5807 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5808 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5809 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5810 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5812 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5813 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5816 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5818 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5819 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5820 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5821 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5824 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5825 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5826 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5827 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5828 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5830 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5831 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5832 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5833 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5834 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5835 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5836 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5837 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5838 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5841 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5843 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5844 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5845 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5846 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5847 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5849 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5850 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5851 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5853 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5855 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5856 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5857 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5858 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5859 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5860 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5863 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5864 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5865 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5866 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5867 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5870 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5871 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5872 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5874 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5875 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5876 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
5880 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
5881 being properly terminated.
5884 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
5885 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
5886 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
5887 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
5889 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
5890 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
5891 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
5892 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
5893 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
5894 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
5895 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
5897 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5899 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5900 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5903 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5904 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5905 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),

5912 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5913 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5914 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>

5941 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]

5945 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5947 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5949 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5950 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5951 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5954 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5958 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5959 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5960 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5962 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5963 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5964 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5965 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5966 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many

5972 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5973 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,

5978 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5979 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5980 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)

6001 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6002 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6003 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6005 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6006 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6008 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6009 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6010 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6011 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6012 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6013 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6016 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6017 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6018 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6019 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6022 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6025 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6026 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6027 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6028 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6029 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6030 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6032 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6033 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6034 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6035 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6036 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6039 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6040 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6041 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6042 BN_generate_prime().)
6044 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6045 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6046 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not

6051 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6054 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6055 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6056 when using non-blocking I/O.
6057 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6059 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6060 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6062 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6063 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6066 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6067 configuration for the versions before that.
6068 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6070 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6071 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6072 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"

6076 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6077 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP

6092 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6093 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6094 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6095 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6096 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6097 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6098 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the

6102 using a local variable.

6119 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6121 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6122 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6123 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6124 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6127 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6131 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6132 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6133 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6134 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).

6162 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6163 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6164 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6166 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6167 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6168 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')

6172 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6174 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6175 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6176 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6179 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6180 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6181 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6183 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6185 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6186 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6187 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6188 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6189 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6190 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6191 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6194 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6195 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6196 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6197 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6199 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6200 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6201 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6202 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6203 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6204 the client will at least see that alert.
6207 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6211 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6212 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6213 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6215 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6216 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6217 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6218 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6221 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6222 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6223 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6225 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6226 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6227 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6228 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6229 may leak via logfiles.)
6231 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6232 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6233 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6234 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6238 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6239 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6242 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6243 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6244 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6245 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6246 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6249 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6250 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6252 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6253 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6254 followed by modular reduction.
6255 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6257 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6258 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6261 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6262 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6263 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6264 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6267 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6270 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6271 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6274 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6275 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6276 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6277 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6278 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6279 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6281 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6283 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6284 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6285 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6286 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6287 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6289 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6292 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6293 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6294 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6295 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6296 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6297 to allow the necessary settings.
6300 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6301 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6302 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6303 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6306 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6307 dh->length and always used
6309 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6311 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6312 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6313 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6314 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6315 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6320 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6322 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6328 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6329 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6330 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6331 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6333 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6334 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6335 always reject numbers >= n.
6338 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6339 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6340 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6341 variable) is not atomic.
6344 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6345 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6346 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6347 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6349 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6350 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6352 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6354 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6356 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6359 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6361 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6362 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6363 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6364 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6365 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6366 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6367 to traverse all of 'state'.
6369 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6370 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6371 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6373 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6374 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6376 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6377 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6378 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6379 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6380 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6381 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6382 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6383 further strengthens the PRNG.
6386 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6389 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6390 an error message in this case.
6393 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6396 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6397 positive and less than q.
6400 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6401 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6403 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6405 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6406 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6410 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6412 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6413 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6414 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6415 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6416 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6417 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6418 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6421 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6422 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6423 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6424 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6426 Both problems are now fixed.
6429 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6430 (previously it was 1024).
6433 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6434 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6437 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6440 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6441 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6442 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6445 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6446 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6447 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6448 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6449 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6450 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6451 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6452 environment variables.
6454 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6455 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6456 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6459 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6460 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6461 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6462 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6463 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6464 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6467 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6471 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6473 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6474 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6476 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6477 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6478 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6479 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6483 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6484 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6485 amount of data available.
6486 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6487 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6489 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6490 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6491 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6492 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6495 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6496 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6500 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6501 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6502 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6503 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6506 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6509 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6512 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6513 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6515 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6517 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6518 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6519 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6520 (but broken) behaviour.
6523 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6525 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6527 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6528 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6531 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6535 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6536 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6538 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6541 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6542 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6543 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6545 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6546 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6547 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6550 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6551 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6554 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6555 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6557 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6559 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6561 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6562 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6563 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6564 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6567 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6570 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6571 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6572 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6574 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6577 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6579 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6580 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6581 but the code is actually correct.
6584 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6585 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6586 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6587 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6588 and leaves the highest bit random.
6589 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6591 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6592 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6593 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6594 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6595 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6596 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6597 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6600 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6603 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6604 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6607 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6608 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6609 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6610 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6614 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6615 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6616 and break the signature.
6618 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6620 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6624 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6625 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6626 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6627 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6628 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6631 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6632 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6634 *) ./config script fixes.
6635 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6637 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6640 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6641 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6642 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6643 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6644 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6646 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6647 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6650 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6651 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6654 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6655 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6656 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6657 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6659 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6660 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6662 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6663 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6664 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6665 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6666 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6668 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6671 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6674 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6677 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6680 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6681 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6684 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6685 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6686 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6687 result of the server certificate verification.)
6690 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6691 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6692 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6696 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6697 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6698 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6699 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6700 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6701 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6702 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6703 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6706 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6707 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6708 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6709 happening the other way round.
6712 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6713 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6716 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6717 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6718 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6719 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6722 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6723 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6725 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6727 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6728 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6729 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6732 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6734 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6736 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6740 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6742 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6743 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6744 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6745 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6746 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6748 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6749 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6753 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6756 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6758 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6759 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6760 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6761 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6762 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6763 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6764 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6765 by the Finished messages.
6768 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6769 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6771 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6772 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6773 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6774 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6775 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
6779 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
6780 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
6781 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
6782 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
6783 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
6784 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
6785 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
6786 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
6787 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
6791 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
6792 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
6793 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
6794 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6796 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6797 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6798 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6799 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6800 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6803 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6804 been tested well enough.
6807 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6808 it can return incorrect results.
6809 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6810 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6813 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6814 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6815 include zero length content when signing messages.
6818 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6819 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6822 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6825 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6829 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6830 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6831 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6832 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6833 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6834 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6837 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6838 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6840 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6841 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6843 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6844 random number < q in the DSA library.
6847 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6848 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6849 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6850 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6851 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6852 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6853 just makes things more complicated.)
6856 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6860 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6861 work better on such systems.
6862 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6864 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6865 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6866 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6869 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6870 if there was more than one signature.
6871 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6873 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6874 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6875 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6876 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6879 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
6880 rather than always using the current time.
6883 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
6884 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
6885 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
6886 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
6887 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
6888 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
6890 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
6891 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
6893 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
6895 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
6896 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
6897 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
6898 the same hash value.
6900 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6901 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6902 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6903 with X509_STORE internally.
6905 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6906 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6908 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6909 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6910 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6911 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6912 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6913 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6914 entirely (maybe later...).
6916 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6918 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6919 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6920 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6921 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6922 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6923 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6924 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6925 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6927 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6928 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6930 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6931 to customise the verify behaviour.
6934 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6935 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6938 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6939 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6940 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6941 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6942 request is improperly encoded.
6945 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6946 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6949 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6950 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6952 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6953 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6957 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6958 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6959 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6962 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6963 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6964 BIO/fp routines also added.
6967 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6968 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6970 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6971 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6972 demos/state_machine.
6975 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6976 generation and verification.
6979 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6980 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6981 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6982 encode and decode it manually.
6985 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6987 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6989 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6990 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6991 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6992 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6994 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6995 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6996 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6997 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6998 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7001 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7004 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7005 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7006 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7008 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7009 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7010 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7011 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7012 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7013 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7014 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7015 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7017 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7018 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7020 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7022 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7023 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7024 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7028 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7029 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7030 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7031 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7035 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7037 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7040 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7041 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7042 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7043 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7044 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7045 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7046 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7047 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7048 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7049 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7050 short or long names are found.
7053 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7054 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7056 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7057 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7058 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7059 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7061 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7062 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7063 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7064 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7067 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7068 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7069 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7072 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7073 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7074 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7075 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7076 to allow the various flags to be set.
7079 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7080 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7081 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7082 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7083 dates to be checked.
7086 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7087 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7088 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7091 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7092 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7093 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7096 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7097 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7100 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7101 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7102 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7103 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7104 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7105 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7108 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7109 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7113 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7117 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7118 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7119 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7120 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7121 form signing output easier to verify.
7124 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7127 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7128 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7129 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7130 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7131 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7132 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7133 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7134 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7135 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7136 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7139 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7141 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7142 the syntax given in objects.README.
7143 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7145 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7148 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7149 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7150 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7151 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7152 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7153 consistent name changes.
7156 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7159 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7160 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7161 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7162 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7165 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7166 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7167 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7171 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7172 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7173 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7174 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7177 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7178 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7179 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7180 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7181 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7182 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7183 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7184 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7185 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7186 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7187 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7190 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7191 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7192 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7193 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7194 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7195 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7196 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7197 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7198 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7199 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7202 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7203 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7204 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7205 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7207 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7208 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7209 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7210 omit any duplicate addresses.
7213 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7214 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7217 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7218 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7219 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7220 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7221 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7224 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7226 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7227 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7228 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7229 Free => OPENSSL_free
7232 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7233 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7236 *) CygWin32 support.
7237 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7239 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7240 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7241 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7242 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7243 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7247 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7248 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7249 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7250 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7251 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7252 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7253 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7256 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7257 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7258 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7259 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7260 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7261 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7262 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7263 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7264 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7265 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7266 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7269 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7270 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7271 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7272 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7273 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7275 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7276 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7277 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7278 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7279 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7281 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7284 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7285 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7286 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7287 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7289 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7291 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7294 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7295 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7296 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7299 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7300 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7301 any installed hardware versions can.
7304 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7305 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7306 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7310 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7311 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7312 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7313 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7314 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7316 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7317 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7320 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7321 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7324 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7325 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7326 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7330 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7333 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7334 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7335 but no ssl client purpose.
7336 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7338 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7339 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7340 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7341 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7342 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7343 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7344 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7345 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7346 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7347 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7348 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7351 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7352 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7353 be obtained from the error queue.
7356 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7357 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7358 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7359 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7362 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7365 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7366 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7367 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7368 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7369 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7372 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7373 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7374 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7375 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7376 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7379 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7380 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7381 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7383 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7385 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7386 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7387 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7388 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7389 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7390 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7391 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7392 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7393 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7394 or "the configuration storage API"...
7396 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7398 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7399 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7401 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7403 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7405 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7406 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7407 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7408 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7409 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7410 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7411 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7413 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7414 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7417 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7418 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7419 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7420 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7423 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7424 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7425 them in a portable way.
7426 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7428 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7430 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7432 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7433 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7435 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7436 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7437 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7440 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7441 was larger than the MD block size.
7442 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7444 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7445 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7446 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7447 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7451 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7452 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7453 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7455 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7457 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7459 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7460 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7461 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7462 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7463 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7464 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7466 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7467 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7469 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7470 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7473 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7476 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7477 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7479 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7480 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7481 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7482 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7485 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7486 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7487 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7488 does not suppress any output.
7491 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7492 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7493 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7494 with all the associated security issues.
7496 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7497 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7498 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7499 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7500 use the value in the default purpose.
7503 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7504 and fix a memory leak.
7507 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7508 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7509 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7510 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7513 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7514 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7515 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7516 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7519 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7520 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7521 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7524 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7525 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7528 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7529 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7533 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7534 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7537 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7538 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7539 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7542 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7543 number generation fails.
7546 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7549 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7550 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7552 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7555 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7556 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7558 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7559 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7561 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7563 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7564 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7567 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7568 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7570 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7571 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7574 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7575 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7576 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7577 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7578 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7579 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7581 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7582 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7583 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7587 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7588 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7589 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7590 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7591 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7592 counter, some don't.)
7593 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7594 counters or duplicate objects.
7597 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7598 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7601 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7602 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7603 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7605 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7606 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7607 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7611 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7612 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7615 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7616 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7617 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7621 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7622 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7623 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7626 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7627 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7628 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7629 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7630 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7631 should work without changes.
7634 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7635 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7636 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7637 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7638 must be defined. E.g.,
7639 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7640 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7641 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7642 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7644 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7648 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7649 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7650 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7653 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7654 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7655 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7656 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7659 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7660 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7661 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7662 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7663 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7664 is prompted for as usual.
7667 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7668 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7669 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7670 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7672 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7673 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7674 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7675 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7678 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7681 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7685 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7688 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7691 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7695 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7698 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7701 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7702 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7705 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7706 options to produce them.
7709 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7710 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7713 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7717 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7718 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7719 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7720 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7721 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7722 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7723 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7726 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7729 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7730 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7731 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7734 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7735 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7737 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7738 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7741 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7742 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7743 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7747 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7748 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7750 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7751 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7752 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7753 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7754 generation becomes much faster.
7756 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7757 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7758 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7759 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7760 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7761 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7762 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7763 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7764 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7765 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7768 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7769 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7770 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7771 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7772 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7773 trial division stage.
7776 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
7780 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
7783 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
7786 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
7787 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
7788 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
7792 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
7793 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
7794 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7797 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7798 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7799 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7800 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7802 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7803 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7806 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7809 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7810 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7811 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7812 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7815 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7816 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7817 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7820 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7821 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7822 (instead of parameters) in future.
7825 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7826 when a new cipher list is set.
7829 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7830 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7833 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7834 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7835 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7837 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7838 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7839 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7840 an error is flagged.
7842 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7843 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7844 the readability was also increased :-)
7845 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7847 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7848 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7849 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7850 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7854 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7855 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7858 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7859 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7860 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7861 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7864 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7865 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7866 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7867 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7868 because they handle more complex structures.)
7871 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7872 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7873 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7874 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7876 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7877 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7878 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7879 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
7880 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
7881 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
7882 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
7885 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
7886 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
7887 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
7888 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
7889 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
7892 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
7895 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
7896 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
7897 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
7898 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7899 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7902 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7906 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7907 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7908 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7909 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7912 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7915 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7916 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7917 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7918 international characters are used.
7920 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7921 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7922 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7926 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7927 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7928 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7931 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7932 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7933 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7934 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7935 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7936 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7938 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7939 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7940 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7941 be handled by the string table functions.
7943 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7944 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7945 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7946 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7947 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7951 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7952 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7953 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7954 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7955 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7957 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7958 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7959 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7960 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7963 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7964 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7965 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7966 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7967 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7971 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7972 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7973 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7974 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7975 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7976 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7977 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7978 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7980 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7981 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7982 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7985 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7986 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7987 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7988 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7989 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7990 support to pkcs8 application.
7993 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7994 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7995 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7996 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7997 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7998 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8001 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8002 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8003 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8004 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8005 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8009 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8010 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8011 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8012 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8016 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8017 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8018 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8019 and any application specific purposes.
8021 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8022 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8023 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8024 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8025 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8026 if the certificate is self signed.
8029 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8030 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8033 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8034 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8035 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8036 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8039 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8040 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8041 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8042 Update documentation.
8045 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8046 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8047 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8048 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8049 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8052 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8054 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8056 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8057 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8058 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8059 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8060 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8061 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8062 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8063 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8064 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8065 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8067 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8069 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8070 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8071 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8072 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8073 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8075 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8076 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8077 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8078 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8079 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8080 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8081 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8082 request additional information:
8083 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8084 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8086 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8087 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8088 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8091 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8092 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8095 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8098 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8099 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8101 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8102 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8103 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8107 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8108 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8109 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8111 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8112 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8113 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8114 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8115 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8116 included in OpenSSL.
8119 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8120 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8121 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8122 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8123 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8124 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8127 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8131 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8132 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8133 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8134 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8135 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8139 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8143 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8144 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8145 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8146 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8147 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8148 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8149 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8150 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8151 be maintained manually.
8153 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8154 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8155 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8156 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8157 work because people forget to call this function]
8158 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8159 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8160 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8163 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8164 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8165 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8166 should be discouraged from doing it.
8169 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8170 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8171 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8172 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8173 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8174 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8177 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8178 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8179 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8181 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8182 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8183 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8185 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8186 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8187 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8188 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8189 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8190 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8192 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8193 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8194 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8196 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8197 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8200 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8201 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8202 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8203 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8206 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8209 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8210 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8211 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8212 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8213 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8214 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8215 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8216 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8217 keys so we should be OK.
8219 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8220 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8221 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8222 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8223 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8224 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8225 stay in the name of compatibility.
8227 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8228 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8229 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8231 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8232 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8233 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8234 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8235 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8236 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8240 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8241 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8242 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8243 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8244 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8245 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8246 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8247 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8248 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8249 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8250 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8251 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8252 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8255 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8258 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8259 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8260 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8261 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8262 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8263 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8264 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8265 openssl verify ss.pem
8266 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8267 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8271 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8272 (and add it to external session representation).
8273 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8274 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8275 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8276 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8277 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8278 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8280 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8282 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8283 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8284 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8285 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8287 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8288 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8289 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8292 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8293 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8294 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8298 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8299 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8300 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8302 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8303 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8304 certificate auxiliary information.
8307 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8311 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8312 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8313 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8314 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8315 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8316 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8317 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8320 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8321 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8324 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8325 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8326 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8327 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8330 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8333 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8334 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8337 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8338 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8339 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8340 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8341 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8342 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8343 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8344 using the new 'x509' options.
8346 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8347 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8348 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8349 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8353 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8354 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8355 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8356 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8357 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8360 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8361 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8362 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8363 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8364 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8365 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8366 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8367 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8368 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8369 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8372 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8373 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8374 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8375 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8376 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8377 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8378 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8381 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8382 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8383 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8384 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8385 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8386 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8387 openssl.cnf for more info.
8390 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8391 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8392 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8393 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8394 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8395 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8396 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8397 md should be large enough anyway.
8400 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8401 for handling the random seed file.
8403 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8405 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8408 x509 (when signing).
8409 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8410 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8411 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8413 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8414 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8415 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8416 that support '-rand'.
8419 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8420 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8423 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8424 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8427 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8428 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8429 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8430 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8434 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8435 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8436 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8437 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8440 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8441 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8442 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8443 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8444 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8445 print out all the purposes.
8448 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8452 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8453 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8454 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8455 single function call.
8458 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8459 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8462 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8463 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8464 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8467 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8468 when producing the local key id.
8469 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8471 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8472 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8473 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8477 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8478 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8479 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8480 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8483 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8484 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8485 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8486 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8488 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8489 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8490 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8491 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8493 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8494 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8495 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8496 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8497 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8498 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8499 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8500 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8501 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8502 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8503 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8504 trivial: move one line.
8505 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8507 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8508 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8509 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8510 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8511 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8512 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8513 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8514 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8515 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8516 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8517 with an event loop for example.
8520 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8521 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8522 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8523 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8524 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8525 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8526 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8527 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8528 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8531 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8532 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8533 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8534 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8535 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8536 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8539 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8540 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8541 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8542 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8544 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8545 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8546 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8547 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8551 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8552 (still largely untested)
8555 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8556 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8559 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8560 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8563 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8564 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8565 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8568 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8569 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8570 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8571 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8572 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8575 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8578 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8579 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8580 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8581 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8582 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8586 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8587 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8590 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8593 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8594 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8595 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8596 are otherwise ignored at present.
8599 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8600 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8601 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8602 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8603 copied until the next read.
8606 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8607 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8608 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8611 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8612 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8613 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8614 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8615 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8616 associated functions.
8619 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8620 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8621 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8622 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8623 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8624 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8625 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8626 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8627 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8631 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8632 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8633 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8634 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8637 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8638 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8639 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8640 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8641 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8645 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8646 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8650 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8651 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8652 extensions to be obtained and added.
8655 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8656 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8659 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8661 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8662 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8664 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8665 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8667 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8671 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8672 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8673 DH parameters contain its length).
8675 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8676 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8677 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8678 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8679 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8680 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8681 utter importance to use
8682 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8684 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8685 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8686 attacks may become possible!
8689 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8692 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8693 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8696 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8697 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8698 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8702 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8703 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8704 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8705 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8706 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8707 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8708 private key operations.
8711 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8714 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8715 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8717 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8718 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8719 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8720 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8721 the password callback is called.
8722 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8724 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8726 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8727 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8728 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8729 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8730 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8731 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8734 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8735 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8736 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8737 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8738 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8739 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8742 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8745 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8746 delete an unused file.
8749 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8750 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8751 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8752 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8755 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8756 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8757 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8761 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8762 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8763 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8765 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8766 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8767 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8768 comparison" warnings.
8769 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8772 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8773 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8774 derived keys are printed to stderr.
8777 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
8778 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
8780 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
8781 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
8783 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
8784 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
8785 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
8787 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
8788 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
8789 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
8790 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
8791 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
8793 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
8795 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8796 The interface is as follows:
8797 Applications can use
8798 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8799 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8800 "off" is now the default.
8801 The library internally uses
8802 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8803 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8804 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8806 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8807 even the default) are now avoided.
8809 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8810 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8811 than just having a counter.
8813 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8815 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8819 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8820 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8821 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8822 Initial "mode" flags are:
8824 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8825 a single record has been written.
8826 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8827 retries use the same buffer location.
8828 (But all of the contents must be
8832 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8835 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8836 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8838 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8839 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8840 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8843 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8844 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8846 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8848 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8849 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8850 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8851 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8853 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8854 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8856 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8857 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8858 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8859 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8860 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8861 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8864 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8865 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8866 necessary function names.
8869 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8870 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8871 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8872 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8875 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8876 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8877 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
8880 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
8881 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
8882 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
8883 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
8885 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
8889 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
8890 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
8891 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
8894 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
8895 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8899 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8900 for the encoded length.
8901 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8903 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8906 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8907 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8908 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8909 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8912 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8913 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8914 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8916 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8917 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8918 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8922 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8923 to use the new extension code.
8926 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8927 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8928 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8932 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8933 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8934 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8938 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8941 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8942 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8943 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8946 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8947 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8948 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8949 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8952 *) DES library cleanups.
8955 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8956 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8957 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8958 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8959 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8963 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8964 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8967 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8968 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8969 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8970 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8971 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8972 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8973 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8974 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8975 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8978 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8979 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8980 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8981 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8982 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8983 value doesn't matter.
8986 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8990 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8991 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8992 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8993 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8995 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8998 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8999 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9000 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9002 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9003 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9005 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9008 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9011 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9014 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9018 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9020 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9022 *) Updated some demos.
9023 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9025 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9028 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9031 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9034 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9035 instead of using a fixed path.
9038 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9041 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9045 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9047 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9048 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9049 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9051 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9052 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9053 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9054 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9055 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9056 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9057 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9058 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9059 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9060 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9063 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9064 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9067 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9068 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9069 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9070 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9071 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9073 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9076 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9077 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9078 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9081 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9084 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9085 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9086 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9087 key elements as negative integers.
9090 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9091 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9094 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9096 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9097 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9098 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9101 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9102 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9103 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9104 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9105 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9108 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9111 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9112 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9113 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9114 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9116 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9117 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9118 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9120 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9121 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9122 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9123 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9124 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9125 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9126 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9127 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9128 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9130 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9131 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9132 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9133 does not influence s as it used to.
9135 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9136 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9137 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9138 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9139 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9140 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9143 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9144 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9145 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9149 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9150 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9151 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9155 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9156 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9157 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9161 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9162 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9165 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9166 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9171 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9172 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9174 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9175 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9177 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9180 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9183 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9184 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9186 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9187 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9188 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9192 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9193 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9194 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9195 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9196 now it really counts the depth.
9199 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9200 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9201 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9202 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9203 didn't match the private key).
9205 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9206 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9207 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9210 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9213 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9217 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9218 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9219 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9222 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9225 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9226 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9227 such as /usr/local/bin.
9230 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9231 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9233 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9236 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9237 extension adding in x509 utility.
9240 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9243 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9247 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9250 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9251 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9252 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9253 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9254 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9255 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9256 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9257 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9258 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9259 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9262 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9265 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9266 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9269 *) Fix some race conditions.
9272 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9273 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9276 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9279 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9280 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9281 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9282 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9284 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9285 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9287 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9288 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9289 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9291 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9292 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9294 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9297 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9298 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9300 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9303 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9304 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9306 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9307 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9310 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9311 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9314 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9315 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9318 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9319 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9322 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9323 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9326 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9327 support typesafe stack.
9330 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9331 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9333 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9334 old X509V3 handling code.
9337 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9340 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9343 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9346 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9347 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9349 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9350 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9351 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9352 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9353 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9356 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9357 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9358 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9359 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9360 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9362 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9363 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9364 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9365 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9367 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9368 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9369 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9370 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9372 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9373 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9374 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9375 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9376 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9377 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9380 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9381 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9384 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9385 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9388 *) Tweaks to Configure
9389 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9391 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9395 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9398 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9399 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9402 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9403 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9404 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9407 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9410 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9411 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9414 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9415 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9416 to library startup routines.
9419 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9420 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9421 codes along the way.
9424 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9425 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9426 objects to objects.h
9429 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9430 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9433 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9434 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9436 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9437 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9438 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9440 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9441 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9442 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9444 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9445 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9446 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9449 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9451 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9452 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9455 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9456 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9457 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9458 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9459 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9461 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9462 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9463 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9465 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9467 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9469 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9471 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9472 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9474 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9475 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9476 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9477 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9479 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9482 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9483 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9484 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9485 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9488 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9489 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9490 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9493 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9494 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9495 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9496 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9497 installed as `perl').
9498 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9500 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9501 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9503 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9504 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9505 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9506 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9507 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9510 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9513 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9514 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9515 is horrible: I feel ill....
9518 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9519 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9520 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9521 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9524 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9525 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9527 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9528 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9529 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9530 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9532 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9533 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9534 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9535 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9536 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9537 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9539 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9541 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9542 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9544 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9545 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9547 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9550 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9551 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9555 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9556 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9557 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9558 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9559 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9560 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9561 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9562 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9563 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9564 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9565 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9567 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9570 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9571 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9572 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9573 for linking it into DSOs.
9574 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9576 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9580 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9581 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9582 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9583 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9584 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9585 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9587 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9588 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9589 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9590 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9591 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9592 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9593 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9595 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9596 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9597 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9601 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9602 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9603 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9604 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9607 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9608 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9609 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9610 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9611 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9615 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9616 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9617 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9618 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9619 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9621 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9622 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9623 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9625 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9626 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9628 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9629 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9630 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9631 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9632 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9635 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9636 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9637 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9638 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9639 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9640 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9641 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9644 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9646 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9647 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9650 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9651 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9653 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9654 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9657 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9658 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9659 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9660 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9661 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9663 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9664 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9665 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9666 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9667 no way to reconfigure them.
9668 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9669 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9670 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9671 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9672 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9673 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9675 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9676 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9677 recognized by the users.
9678 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9680 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9681 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9682 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9683 already masked variable.
9684 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9686 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9687 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9689 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9690 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9691 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9692 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9694 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9695 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9696 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9698 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9699 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9700 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9701 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9702 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9703 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9704 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9705 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9707 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9709 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9710 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9711 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9713 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9714 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9718 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9719 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9721 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9722 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9723 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9724 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9727 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9730 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9731 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9733 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9736 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9737 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9740 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9741 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9744 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9745 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9746 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9747 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9748 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9749 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9750 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9753 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9754 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9756 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9757 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9758 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9759 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9760 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9762 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9763 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9764 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9767 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9768 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9772 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9773 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9774 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9776 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
9777 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
9778 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
9782 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
9783 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
9784 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
9785 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
9788 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
9789 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
9790 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
9791 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
9794 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
9795 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9796 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9797 so it wasn't spotted.
9798 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9800 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9801 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9802 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9803 vectors if you have them.
9806 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9807 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9810 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9811 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9812 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9813 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9815 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9816 it will update them.
9819 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9820 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9821 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9822 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9823 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9824 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9825 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9826 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9828 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9829 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9830 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9831 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9832 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9833 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9834 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9835 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9836 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9837 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9839 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9840 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9841 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9842 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9843 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9846 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9850 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9851 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9853 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9854 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9856 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9857 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9860 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9861 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9863 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9864 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9866 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9869 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9873 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9874 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9875 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9876 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9878 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9881 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9884 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
9887 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
9888 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
9891 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
9892 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
9896 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
9897 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9900 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9901 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9902 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9905 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9906 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9907 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9908 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9909 properly to be processed.
9912 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9913 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9914 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9917 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9918 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9920 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9921 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9922 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9923 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9924 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9925 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9926 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9927 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9928 or delete all the .err files.
9931 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9932 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9933 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9934 to regenerate it if needed.
9935 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9936 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9938 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9939 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9941 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9942 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9943 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9944 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9945 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9948 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9949 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9951 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9952 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9954 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9955 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9956 error, but didn't set one).
9957 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9959 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9962 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9963 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9966 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9967 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9969 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9970 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9971 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9972 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9973 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9974 OID is not part of the table.
9977 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9978 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9981 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9984 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9985 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9989 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9990 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9992 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9994 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9996 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9997 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9999 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10000 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10002 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10003 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10005 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10006 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10009 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10010 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10013 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10014 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10016 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10017 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10019 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10020 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10022 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10023 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10025 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10026 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10027 unused in the certificate verification process.
10028 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10030 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10031 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10034 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10035 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10036 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10038 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10039 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10040 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10041 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10042 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10044 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10045 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10048 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10051 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10054 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10055 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10057 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10060 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10063 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10066 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10067 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10068 other error libraries.
10071 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10074 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10075 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10079 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10080 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10081 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10082 the new set of documenation files.
10083 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10085 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10086 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10087 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10088 number of arguments.
10089 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10091 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10094 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10095 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10096 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10098 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10101 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10105 unixware-2.0-pentium
10109 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10110 before they are needed.
10113 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10117 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10119 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10120 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10121 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10123 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10126 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10127 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10128 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10130 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10131 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10132 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10134 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10135 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10136 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10138 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10139 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10141 *) Updated the README file.
10142 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10144 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10145 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10146 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10148 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10149 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10150 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10152 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10153 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10154 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10155 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10156 o removed obsolete TODO file
10157 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10158 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10160 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10161 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10162 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
10163 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
10164 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
10165 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10166 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10168 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10171 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10172 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10173 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10175 [The OpenSSL Project]
10178 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10180 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10183 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10186 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10187 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10190 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10191 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10195 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10197 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10199 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10202 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10205 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10208 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10211 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10214 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10217 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10220 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10223 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10226 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10229 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10232 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10235 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10238 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10241 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10244 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10247 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10250 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10251 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10252 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10255 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10256 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10259 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10262 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10265 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10266 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10269 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10272 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10275 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
10276 bytes sent in the client random.
