5 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
8 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
9 application to support multiple signers.
12 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
16 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
17 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
18 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
19 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
20 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
23 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
27 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
28 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
29 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
30 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
34 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
35 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
36 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
37 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
38 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
39 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
40 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
41 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
44 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
45 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
46 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
47 between digests and public key types.
50 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
51 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
52 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
53 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
56 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
57 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
61 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
64 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
68 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
69 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
70 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
71 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
76 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
78 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
80 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
82 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
83 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
84 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
85 functionality for RSA.
88 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
89 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
90 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
93 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
94 key API, doesn't do much yet.
97 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
98 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
99 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
102 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
103 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
106 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
107 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
110 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
111 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
115 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
116 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
117 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
121 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
122 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
123 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
124 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
125 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
126 of public and private key structures.
129 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
130 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
133 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
134 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
135 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
138 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
142 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
143 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
145 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
147 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
149 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
150 and response verification functionality.
151 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
153 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
154 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
155 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
156 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
157 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
158 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
159 server_name extension.
161 New functions (subject to change):
164 SSL_get_servername_type()
167 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
169 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
170 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
171 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
172 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
173 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_hostname()
175 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
177 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
178 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
179 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
180 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
181 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
182 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
185 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
187 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
190 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
191 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
192 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
193 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
194 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
197 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
199 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
200 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
201 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
203 The latter two were purportedly from
204 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
207 Other ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt
208 remain enabled for now, but are just as unofficial, and the ID
209 has long expired; these will probably disappear soon.
212 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
213 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
217 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
218 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
219 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
220 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
223 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
224 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
225 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
226 using the maximum available value.
229 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
230 in addition to the text details.
233 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
234 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
235 handle several customised structures at all.
238 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
239 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
240 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
243 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
246 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
247 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
248 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
251 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
252 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
253 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
256 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
257 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
261 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
264 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [xx XXX xxxx]
266 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
267 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
268 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
269 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
270 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
271 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
274 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
276 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
277 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
280 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
281 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
283 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
284 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
285 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
286 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
289 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
290 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
293 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
294 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
295 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
296 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
297 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
298 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
299 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
303 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
304 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
305 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
306 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
309 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
310 under VC++ build system.
313 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
314 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
317 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
319 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
320 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
321 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
322 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
323 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
325 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
326 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
327 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
329 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
332 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
333 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
336 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
337 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
339 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
342 *) Extended Windows CE support.
343 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
345 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
346 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
349 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
350 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
354 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
356 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
359 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
360 key into the same file any more.
363 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
366 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
367 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
369 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
370 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
373 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
374 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
375 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
376 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
377 this only applies when building 'shared'.
378 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
380 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
381 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
382 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
385 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
386 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
387 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
388 - add new function for parameter creation
389 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
390 BN_BLINDING parameters
391 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
392 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
393 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
397 *) Add support for DTLS.
398 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
400 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
401 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
404 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
405 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
408 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
409 the apps/openssl applications.
412 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
413 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
414 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
417 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
418 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
420 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
421 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
423 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
424 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
425 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
426 avoid this algorithm.)
430 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
431 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
432 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
435 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
436 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
439 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
440 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
441 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
444 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
446 The blank line is mandatory.
450 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
451 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
455 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
456 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
458 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
459 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
460 to support policy checking and print out.
463 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
464 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
465 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
466 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
468 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
471 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
472 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
474 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
475 implementation contributed by IBM.
476 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
478 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
479 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
480 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
481 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
483 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
484 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
486 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
487 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
488 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
489 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
490 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
491 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
494 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
495 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
496 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
497 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
498 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
499 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
500 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
503 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
506 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
507 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
508 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
509 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
510 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
511 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
512 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
513 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
516 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
517 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
518 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
519 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
522 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
525 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
528 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
529 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
530 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
531 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
532 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
533 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
537 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
538 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
541 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
542 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
543 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
546 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
547 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
548 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
552 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
553 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
556 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
557 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
558 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
559 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
562 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
563 initialised value as BN_new().
564 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
566 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
569 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
570 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
571 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
572 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
573 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
574 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
575 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
576 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
577 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
578 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
579 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
580 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
581 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
582 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
583 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
585 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
586 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
587 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
588 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
591 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
592 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
593 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
594 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
595 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
596 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
597 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
598 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
599 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
602 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
603 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
604 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
605 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
606 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
607 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
608 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
611 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
612 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
613 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
614 these have been updated also.
617 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
618 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
619 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
620 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
621 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
625 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
626 structure of type "other".
629 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
630 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
631 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
632 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
633 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
634 situation in the script.
635 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
637 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
638 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
639 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
640 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
641 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
642 used as premaster secret.
643 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
645 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
646 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
647 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
649 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
650 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
652 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
653 control of the error stack.
656 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
659 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
660 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
661 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
662 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
665 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
666 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
667 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
670 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
671 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
672 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
676 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
677 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
678 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
679 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
682 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
683 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
684 the following flags are defined:
686 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
687 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
688 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
691 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
692 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
693 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
694 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
698 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
699 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
700 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
701 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
702 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
705 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
706 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
707 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
710 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
711 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
712 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
713 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
714 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
715 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
718 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
722 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
725 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
728 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
731 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
732 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
733 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
734 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
735 default implementation more easily.
738 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
742 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
743 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
746 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
747 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
748 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
749 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
751 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
752 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
753 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
757 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
758 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
762 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
763 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
764 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
765 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
766 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
768 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
770 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
771 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
772 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
776 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
777 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
778 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
779 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
780 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
781 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
782 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
783 linker additions, eg;
784 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
787 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
788 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
789 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
792 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
793 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
794 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
798 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
799 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
800 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
801 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
804 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
805 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
806 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
807 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
808 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
809 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
810 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
811 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
812 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
813 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
815 Example for using the new callback interface:
817 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
821 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
823 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
824 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
825 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
826 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
827 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
828 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
833 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
834 available to TLS with the number defined in
835 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
838 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
839 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
841 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
842 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
843 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
844 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
846 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
847 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
849 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
850 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
854 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
855 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
858 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
859 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
860 and a macro that behave like
861 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
863 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
866 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
867 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
868 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
870 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
872 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
875 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
876 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
877 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
878 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
880 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
881 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
882 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
883 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
884 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
885 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
886 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
887 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
889 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
890 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
893 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
894 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
896 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
897 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
898 files while avoiding the low level API.
900 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
901 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
902 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
903 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
905 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
906 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
907 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
908 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
909 instead of the low level API.
912 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
913 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
914 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
915 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
916 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
919 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
920 down to the template encoder.
923 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
924 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
927 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
928 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
929 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
930 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
932 *) Add ECDH engine support.
933 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
935 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
936 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
938 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
939 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
942 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
943 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
944 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
947 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
948 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
950 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
951 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
953 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
954 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
957 EC_GF2m_simple_method
961 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
962 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
963 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
964 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
965 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
966 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
968 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
969 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
972 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
973 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
974 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
975 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
976 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
977 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
978 various internal method names.)
980 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
981 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
983 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
984 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
986 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
987 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
989 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
990 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
991 methods are undefined.
993 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
994 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
996 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
997 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
998 length of the modulus.
1000 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1001 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1003 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1004 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1006 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1007 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1009 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1010 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1011 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1014 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1015 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1016 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1017 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1019 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1020 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1021 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1022 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1024 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1025 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1027 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1028 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1029 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1030 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1031 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1033 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1034 This applies to the following functions:
1039 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1040 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1042 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1043 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1047 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1052 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1054 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1055 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1056 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1057 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1058 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1060 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1061 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1063 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1064 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1065 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1067 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1068 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1070 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1071 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1072 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1073 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1074 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1076 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1078 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1079 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1080 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1081 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1082 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1083 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1084 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1085 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1086 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1087 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1088 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1089 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1091 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1094 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1095 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1096 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1097 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1099 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1100 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1101 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1102 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1107 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1108 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1109 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1110 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1111 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1113 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1114 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1115 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1116 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1117 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1118 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1119 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1120 adding different types of curves.
1121 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1123 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1124 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1125 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1128 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1129 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1131 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1132 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1133 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1134 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1136 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1138 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1139 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1141 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1142 library. Most notably,
1143 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1144 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1145 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1146 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1147 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1148 extracted before the specific public key;
1149 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1150 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1152 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1153 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1155 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1156 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1157 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1158 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1160 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1161 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1162 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1164 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1165 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1166 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1167 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1168 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1169 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1173 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1175 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1176 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1177 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1178 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1179 the difference induced by this change.
1182 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1184 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1185 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1186 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1187 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1188 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1190 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1191 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1192 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1194 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1195 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1198 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1199 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1200 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1201 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1205 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1206 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1207 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1208 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1209 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1211 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1212 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1213 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1214 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1215 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1216 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1218 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1220 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1221 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1222 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1223 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1224 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1227 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1231 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1232 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1233 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1236 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1237 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1238 structures constant.
1241 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1243 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1246 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1247 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1248 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1249 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1250 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1251 some needed definitions.
1254 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1257 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1258 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1259 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1260 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1263 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1265 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1266 server and client random values. Previously
1267 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1268 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1270 This change has negligible security impact because:
1272 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1275 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1278 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1279 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1282 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1285 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1287 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1290 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1291 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1292 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1294 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1297 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1298 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1301 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1302 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1303 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1305 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1308 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1309 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1310 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1314 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1315 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1316 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1317 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1319 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1320 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1321 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1322 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1326 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1328 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1329 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1330 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1331 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1332 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1335 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1338 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1339 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1341 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1342 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1343 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1344 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1345 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1346 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1347 rather than being initialized to 1.
1350 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1352 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1353 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1354 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1356 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1358 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1360 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1361 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1362 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1363 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1364 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1365 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1368 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1369 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1370 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1371 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1372 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1376 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1377 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1378 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1379 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1380 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1383 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1384 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1385 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1389 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1390 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1392 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1395 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1397 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1399 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1400 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1402 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1404 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1405 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1409 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1410 exiting on the first error in a request.
1413 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1414 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1418 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1419 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1420 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1421 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1423 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1424 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1427 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1428 blocks during encryption.
1431 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1432 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1433 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1434 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1438 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1439 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1440 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1441 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1442 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1446 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1448 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1449 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1450 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1451 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1454 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1455 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1456 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1457 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1458 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1460 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1461 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1462 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1463 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1464 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1465 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1466 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1467 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1468 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1471 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1472 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1473 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1474 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1477 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1478 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1481 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1483 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1484 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1485 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1486 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1487 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1489 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1490 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1491 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1493 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1494 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1495 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1496 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1497 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1499 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1500 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1501 used by default when no-err is given.
1504 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1505 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1507 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1508 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1509 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1510 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1511 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1513 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1514 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1515 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1516 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1518 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1520 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1522 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1524 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1525 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1526 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1527 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1531 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1532 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1534 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1535 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1538 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1539 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1540 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1541 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1544 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1545 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1546 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1547 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1548 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1549 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1550 followup to PR #377.
1553 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1554 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1557 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1558 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1559 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
1560 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
1562 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
1564 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
1567 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1568 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1569 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
1570 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
1572 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1576 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
1577 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1581 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1582 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1583 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1584 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1585 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1586 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1588 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1589 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1590 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1591 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1592 have to be made anyway).
1595 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1596 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1597 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1600 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1601 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1602 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1605 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1606 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1607 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1609 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1610 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1611 edit numbers of the version.
1612 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1614 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1615 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1616 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1618 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1619 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1621 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1622 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1623 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1625 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1626 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1628 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1629 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1631 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1632 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1634 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1635 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1637 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1639 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1641 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1642 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1643 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1645 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1646 representations in a platform independent manner.
1647 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1649 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1650 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1651 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1653 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1655 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1657 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1658 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1660 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1662 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1664 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1665 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
1666 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1668 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1670 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1672 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1673 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1675 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1676 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1678 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1679 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1681 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1682 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1684 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1686 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1688 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1689 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1691 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1692 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1694 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1695 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1697 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1699 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1700 the 0.9.6 release series:
1702 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1703 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1705 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1707 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1710 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1711 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1713 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1714 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1716 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1717 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1718 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1719 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1721 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1722 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1723 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1725 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1726 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1727 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1728 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1730 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1731 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1732 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1735 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1736 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1737 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1738 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1739 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1740 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1741 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1742 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1745 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1746 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1747 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1750 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1751 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1752 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1753 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1754 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1756 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1757 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1759 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1760 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1763 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1764 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1765 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1766 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1767 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1768 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1771 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1772 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1773 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1776 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1777 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1780 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1781 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1782 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1783 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1784 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1785 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1786 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1789 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1790 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1791 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1792 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1793 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1794 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1797 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1798 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1799 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1800 declaration has been changed from
1803 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1804 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1805 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1806 has been changed into
1807 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1809 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1810 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1811 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1813 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1814 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1816 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1817 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1818 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1819 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1820 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1821 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1822 always load it have also been added.
1825 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1826 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1827 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1829 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1831 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1832 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1833 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1835 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1836 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1837 command line option can be used to specify an
1841 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1842 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1845 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1846 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1847 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1850 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1851 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1852 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1853 to work with the new engine framework.
1854 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1856 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1857 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1858 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1859 to work with the new engine framework.
1862 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1863 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1864 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1866 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1867 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1869 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1870 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1871 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1872 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1874 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1876 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1877 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1879 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1880 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1882 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1883 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1884 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1887 *) Add new functions
1889 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1890 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1891 These are similar to
1894 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1895 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1896 still in the error queue.
1897 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1899 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1901 default_algorithms = ALL
1902 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1905 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1908 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1911 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1912 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1913 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1914 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1916 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1917 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1919 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1920 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1922 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1923 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1926 *) New functions/macros
1928 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1929 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1930 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1931 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1933 to request calling a callback function
1935 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1936 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1938 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1939 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1940 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1941 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1942 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1943 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1944 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1945 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1946 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1947 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1949 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1950 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1953 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1954 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1955 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1956 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1957 the configuration scripts.
1959 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1960 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1961 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1963 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1964 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1966 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1967 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1968 when reusing an existing buffer.
1971 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1972 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1975 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1976 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1979 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1980 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1981 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1982 has the same effect.
1983 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1985 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1986 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1987 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1988 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1989 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1990 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1993 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1994 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1995 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1996 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1998 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1999 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2000 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2001 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2003 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2004 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2007 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2008 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2009 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2010 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2011 default), and then completely removed.
2014 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2015 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2016 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2017 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2018 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2019 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2020 particular extension is supported.
2023 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2024 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2027 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2028 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2029 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2030 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2031 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2032 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2033 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2034 requires the destination to be valid.
2036 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2037 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2040 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2041 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2042 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2045 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2046 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2048 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2049 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2050 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2051 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2052 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2053 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2054 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2055 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2056 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2057 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2058 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2059 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2060 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2061 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2062 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2063 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2064 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2065 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2066 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2070 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2073 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2074 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2075 become part of libeay.num as well.
2078 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
2079 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
2080 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
2081 false once a handshake has been completed.
2082 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
2083 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
2084 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
2085 client has followed the request.)
2088 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
2089 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
2090 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
2091 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
2093 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
2094 more bits available for options that should not be part of
2095 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
2098 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2101 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2102 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2103 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2106 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2107 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2110 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2111 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2112 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2113 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2116 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2117 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2118 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2119 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2120 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2121 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2124 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2125 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2126 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2127 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2128 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2129 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2130 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2131 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2134 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2135 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2138 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2141 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2142 md_data void pointer.
2145 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2146 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2147 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2148 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2149 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2150 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2153 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2154 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2155 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2156 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2157 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2158 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2159 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2160 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2161 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2162 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2163 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2164 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2165 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2166 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2167 rather than letting it slide.
2169 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2170 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2171 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2174 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2175 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2176 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2177 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2178 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2179 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2180 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2181 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2182 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2185 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2186 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2187 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2188 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2189 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2191 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2194 *) Add EVP test program.
2197 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2200 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2201 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2202 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2203 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2204 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2207 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2208 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2209 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2210 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2211 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2212 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2213 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2215 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2216 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2217 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2222 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2223 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2224 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2225 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2226 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2230 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2231 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2232 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2233 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2236 des_key_schedule ks;
2238 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2239 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2241 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2244 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2245 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2246 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2247 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2248 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2249 functions prevents this.
2252 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2255 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2256 correct _ecb suffix.
2259 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2260 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2261 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2262 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2263 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2266 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2269 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2270 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2271 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2272 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2274 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2275 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2277 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2278 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2279 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2280 via Richard Levitte]
2282 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2283 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2284 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2285 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2288 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2291 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2292 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2306 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2307 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2309 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2310 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2311 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2312 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2313 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2314 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2317 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2318 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2321 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2322 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2323 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2324 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2326 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2327 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2328 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2329 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2330 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2331 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2335 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2336 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2337 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2338 and interrupts/cancellations.
2341 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2342 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2345 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2346 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2347 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2349 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2350 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2354 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2355 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2356 than this minimum value is recommended.
2359 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2360 that are easily reachable.
2363 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2364 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2366 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2368 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2369 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2370 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2371 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2374 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2375 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2376 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2379 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2380 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2381 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2382 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2383 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2384 internally such as S/MIME.
2386 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2387 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2388 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2390 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2394 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2395 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2396 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2397 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2399 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2401 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2403 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2404 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2405 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2409 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2410 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2411 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2412 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2413 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2414 a window system and the like.
2417 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2418 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2421 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2422 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2423 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2424 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2425 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2426 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2427 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2428 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2429 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2433 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2434 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2438 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2439 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2440 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2441 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2442 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2443 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2444 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2445 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2448 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2449 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2450 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2451 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2452 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2453 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2454 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2455 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2456 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2457 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2458 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2459 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2460 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2461 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2462 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2463 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2464 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2467 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2468 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2469 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2470 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2471 internal engine_int.h header.
2474 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2475 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2476 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2477 modify their own ones).
2480 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2481 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2482 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2483 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2484 later on via ctrl() commands.
2485 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2486 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2487 structural references.
2488 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2489 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2490 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2491 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2492 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2493 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2494 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2495 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2496 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2497 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2498 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2499 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2502 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2503 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2504 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2505 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2506 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2507 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2508 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2509 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2512 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2513 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2516 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2517 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2520 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2521 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2522 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2523 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2524 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2525 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2526 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2529 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2530 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2531 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2532 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2533 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2535 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2536 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2540 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2542 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2543 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2544 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2546 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2547 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2549 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2550 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2551 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2553 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2554 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2556 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2557 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2559 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2561 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2562 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2563 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2566 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2567 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2570 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2571 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2572 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2573 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2574 is 40 of more characters long.
2577 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2578 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2582 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2583 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2586 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2587 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2591 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2593 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2594 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2597 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2599 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2600 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2601 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2603 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2604 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2606 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2609 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2613 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2614 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2615 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2616 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2618 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2620 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2621 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2623 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2624 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2625 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2626 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2627 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2628 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2630 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2631 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2633 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2634 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2636 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2637 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2639 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2640 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2641 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2642 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2644 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2645 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2647 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2648 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2650 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2651 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2652 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2653 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2654 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2657 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2658 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2659 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2660 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2663 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2664 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2665 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2669 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2670 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2671 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2672 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2673 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2674 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2675 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2676 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2680 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2681 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2684 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2685 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2686 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2687 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2690 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2691 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2692 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2693 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2694 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2695 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2696 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2697 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2698 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2699 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2702 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2703 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2704 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2705 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2706 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2707 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2708 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2709 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2711 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2712 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2713 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2714 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2717 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2718 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2719 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2720 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2722 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2723 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2724 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2725 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2726 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2730 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2731 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2732 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2733 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2737 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2738 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2739 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2742 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2743 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2744 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2745 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2746 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2749 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2752 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2753 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2754 option to ocsp utility.
2757 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2758 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2759 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2760 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2761 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2762 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2763 the request is nonce-less.
2766 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2767 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2768 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2771 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2772 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2773 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2776 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2777 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2778 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2779 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2780 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2783 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2784 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2788 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2789 additional certificates supplied.
2792 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2793 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2797 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2798 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2801 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2802 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2803 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2804 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2805 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2806 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2807 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2808 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2809 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2811 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2812 request to response.
2815 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2816 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2817 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2818 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2819 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2820 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2821 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2822 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2823 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2824 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2825 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2828 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2829 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2830 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2831 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2834 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2835 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2837 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2838 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2839 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2842 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2843 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2844 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2845 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2846 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2848 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2849 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2850 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2853 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2854 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2855 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2856 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2857 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2858 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2859 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2860 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2862 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2863 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2864 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2865 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2866 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2867 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2870 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2871 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2872 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2873 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2874 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2875 printout format cleaned up.
2878 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2879 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2880 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2881 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2882 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2883 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2884 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2885 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2888 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2889 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2890 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2891 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2892 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2893 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2894 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2895 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2898 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2899 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2900 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2901 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2903 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2905 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2906 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2907 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2908 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2911 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2912 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2913 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2914 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2916 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2918 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2919 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2920 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2921 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2923 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2924 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2926 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2927 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2928 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2931 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2932 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2933 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2936 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2937 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2938 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2939 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2940 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2941 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2942 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2943 functions are provided:
2945 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2946 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2947 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2948 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2950 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2951 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2952 extended allocation function is enabled.
2953 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2954 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2955 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2957 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2958 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2959 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2960 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2961 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2964 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2965 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2966 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2968 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2969 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2970 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2973 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2974 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2975 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2976 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2977 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2978 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2979 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2980 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2981 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2984 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2985 provide utility functions which an application needing
2986 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2987 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2988 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2990 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2991 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2992 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2993 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2994 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2995 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2996 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2997 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2998 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3000 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3001 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3002 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3003 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3006 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3007 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3008 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3009 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3010 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3011 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3012 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3013 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3014 will be added elsewhere.
3017 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3018 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3019 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3020 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3023 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3024 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3025 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3026 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3027 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3028 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3029 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3030 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3031 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3032 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3033 to produce the required SET OF.
3036 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3037 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3038 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3041 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3042 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3043 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3044 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3045 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3046 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3049 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3050 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3051 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3054 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3055 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3056 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3059 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3060 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3061 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3062 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3063 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3066 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3067 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3070 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3071 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3072 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3073 certifcates and CRLs.
3076 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3077 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3078 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
3081 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
3082 entries for variables.
3085 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
3086 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
3087 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
3088 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
3091 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
3092 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
3093 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
3094 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
3095 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
3096 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
3099 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3100 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3102 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3103 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3104 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3107 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3111 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3112 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3113 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3114 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3115 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3116 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3119 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3122 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3123 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3124 for now but they will eventually go away.
3127 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3128 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3129 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3130 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3131 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3132 has also been converted to the new form.
3135 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3136 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3137 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3138 for negative moduli.
3141 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3142 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3145 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3149 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3150 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3151 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3152 type-specific callbacks.
3155 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3157 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3158 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3160 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3161 in sections depending on the subject.
3164 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3168 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3169 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3170 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3171 be handled deterministically).
3172 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3174 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3175 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3176 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3179 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3182 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3183 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3184 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3185 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3186 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3189 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3190 sign of the number in question.
3192 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3194 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3195 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3196 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3197 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3198 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3201 *) New function BN_swap.
3204 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3205 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3206 results on negative inputs.
3209 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3210 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3211 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3214 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3215 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3216 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3217 and add new functions:
3226 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3230 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3232 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3233 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3235 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3236 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3237 be reduced modulo m.
3238 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3241 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3242 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3243 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3245 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3246 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3247 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3248 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3249 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3250 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3255 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3256 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3257 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3258 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3259 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3261 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3262 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3263 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3267 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3270 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3271 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3274 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3275 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3276 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3277 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3281 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3284 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3287 *) Add the following functions:
3289 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3291 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3293 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3295 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3296 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3297 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3298 libraries unless it's really needed.
3300 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3301 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3302 declarations (they differed!).
3305 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3308 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3311 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3314 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3315 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3318 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3319 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3320 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3322 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3323 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3326 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3329 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3332 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3335 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3336 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3337 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3339 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3340 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3341 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3342 different shared library filenames on each system.
3345 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3348 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3349 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3350 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3352 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3355 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3356 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3357 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3358 binary backward compatibility.
3359 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3360 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3361 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3365 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3366 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3367 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3368 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3372 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3375 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3376 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3377 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3378 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3382 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3385 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3387 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3388 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3389 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3391 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3393 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3395 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3396 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3399 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3401 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3403 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3404 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3406 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3407 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3411 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3412 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3416 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3417 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3418 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3419 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3421 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3422 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3425 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3427 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3428 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3429 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3430 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3433 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3434 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3435 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3436 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3437 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3439 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3440 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3441 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3442 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3443 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3444 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3445 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3446 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3447 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3450 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3452 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3453 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3454 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3455 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3456 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3458 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3459 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3460 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3462 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3464 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3465 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3466 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3467 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3468 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3469 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3472 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3473 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3474 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3475 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3476 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3479 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3480 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3481 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3483 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3484 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3485 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3489 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3490 being properly terminated.
3493 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3494 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3495 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3496 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3498 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3499 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3500 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3501 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3502 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3503 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3504 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3506 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3508 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3509 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3512 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3513 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3514 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3515 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3516 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3517 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3518 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3519 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3521 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3522 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3523 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3524 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3525 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3527 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3528 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3531 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3533 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3534 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3535 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3537 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3539 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3540 and get fix the header length calculation.
3541 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3542 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3545 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3546 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3547 assertions could call abort()).
3548 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3550 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3552 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3553 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3554 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3556 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3558 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3559 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3560 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3563 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3567 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3568 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3569 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3571 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3572 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3573 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3574 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3575 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3579 *) Changes in security patch:
3581 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3582 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3583 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3586 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3587 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3588 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3589 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3590 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3592 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3594 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3596 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3597 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3598 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3600 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3601 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3602 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3604 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3605 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3606 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3608 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3610 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3611 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3612 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3614 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3615 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3617 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3618 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3619 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3620 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3621 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3622 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3625 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3626 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3627 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3628 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3631 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3634 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3635 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3636 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3637 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3638 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3639 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3641 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3642 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3643 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3644 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3645 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3648 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3649 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3650 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3651 BN_generate_prime().)
3653 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3654 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3655 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3659 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3660 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3663 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3664 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3665 when using non-blocking I/O.
3666 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3668 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3669 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3671 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3672 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3675 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3676 configuration for the versions before that.
3677 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3679 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3680 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3681 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3682 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
