5 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2001]
7 Both OpenSSL 0.9.6a (bugfix release, 5 Apr 2001) and OpenSSL 0.9.7
8 are based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
9 Change log entries are tagged as follows:
10 -) applies to 0.9.6a (/0.9.6b) only
11 *) applies to 0.9.6a (/0.9.6b) and 0.9.7
12 +) applies to 0.9.7 only
14 +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
15 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
18 +) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
19 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
20 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
21 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
22 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
23 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
24 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
25 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
26 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
30 +) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
31 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
32 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
35 +) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
36 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
40 +) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
41 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
42 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
43 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
44 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
45 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
46 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
47 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
50 +) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
51 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
52 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
53 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
54 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
55 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
56 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
57 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
58 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
59 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
60 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
61 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
62 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
63 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
64 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
65 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
66 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
69 +) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
70 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
71 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
72 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
73 internal engine_int.h header.
76 +) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
77 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
78 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
79 modify their own ones).
82 +) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
83 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
84 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
85 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
86 later on via ctrl() commands.
87 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
88 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
89 structural references.
90 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
91 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
92 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
93 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
94 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
95 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
96 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
97 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
98 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
99 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
100 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
101 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
104 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
105 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
106 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
109 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
110 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
111 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
112 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
113 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegaly release the lock
114 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
118 +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
119 to the algorithm using long divison. The binary algorithm can be
120 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
121 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
122 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
123 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
124 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
125 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
128 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
132 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6a released [5 Apr 2001]
134 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
135 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
137 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
138 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
139 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
140 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
144 +) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
145 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
148 -) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
149 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
150 amount of data available.
151 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
152 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
154 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
155 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
156 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
157 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
160 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
161 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
165 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
166 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
167 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
168 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
171 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
174 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
177 -) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
178 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
180 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
182 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
183 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
184 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
185 (but broken) behaviour.
188 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
190 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
192 +) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
193 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
196 +) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
197 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
198 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
199 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
200 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
201 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
202 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
205 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
206 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
209 +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication
210 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally
211 including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP.
212 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
213 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
217 +) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
219 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
220 operations and provides various method functions that can also
221 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
223 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
224 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
226 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
227 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
228 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
230 +) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
233 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
234 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
236 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
238 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
239 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
240 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
243 +) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
244 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
247 +) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
248 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
249 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
250 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
251 is 40 of more characters long.
254 +) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
255 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
259 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
263 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
264 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
266 +) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
267 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
270 +) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
271 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
275 +) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
277 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
278 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
281 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
283 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
284 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
285 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
287 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
288 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
290 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
293 +) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
297 +) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
298 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
299 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
300 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
302 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
304 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
305 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
307 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
310 +) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
311 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
312 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
313 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
314 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
315 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
317 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
318 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
320 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
321 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
323 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
324 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
326 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
327 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
328 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
329 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
331 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
332 header file everywere where the defined globals are used.
334 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
335 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bt different.
337 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
338 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
339 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
340 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
341 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
344 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
345 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
346 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
348 +) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
349 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
350 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
351 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
354 +) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
355 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
356 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
360 +) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
361 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
362 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
363 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
364 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock innacuracy. Instead
365 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
366 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
367 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
371 +) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
372 OID rather that just UNKOWN.
375 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
376 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
377 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
380 +) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
381 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
382 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
383 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
386 +) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
387 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
388 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
389 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
390 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
391 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
392 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
393 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
394 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
395 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
398 +) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
399 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
400 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
401 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
402 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
403 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
404 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
405 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
407 +) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse prprocessor conditionals
408 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
409 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
410 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
413 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
414 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
417 +) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
418 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
419 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
420 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
422 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
423 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
424 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
425 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
426 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
430 +) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
431 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
432 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
433 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
437 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
438 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
440 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
442 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
444 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
445 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
446 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
447 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
450 +) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
451 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
452 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
455 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
458 +) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
459 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
460 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
461 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
462 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
465 +) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
468 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
469 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
470 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
472 +) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
473 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
474 option to ocsp utility.
477 +) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
478 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
479 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
480 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
481 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
482 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
483 the request is nonce-less.
486 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
488 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
490 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
491 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
492 but the code is actually correct.
495 +) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
496 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
497 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
500 +) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
501 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
502 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
505 +) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
506 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
507 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
508 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
511 +) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
512 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
516 +) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
517 additional certificates supplied.
520 +) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
521 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
525 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
526 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
527 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
528 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
529 and leaves the highest bit random.
530 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
532 +) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
533 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
534 AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
535 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
536 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
538 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
539 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
540 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
541 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
542 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
543 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
544 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
547 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
550 +) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
554 +) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
555 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
556 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
557 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
558 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
559 reponse and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
560 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
561 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
562 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
563 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
564 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
567 +) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
568 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
569 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests tha public_key
570 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
573 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
574 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
577 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
578 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
579 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
580 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
584 +) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
585 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
587 +) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
588 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
589 reponse then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
592 -) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
593 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
594 and break the signature.
596 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
598 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
602 +) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
603 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
604 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
605 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
606 <support@securenetterm.com>]
608 +) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
609 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
610 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
613 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
614 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
615 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
616 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
617 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
620 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
621 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
623 *) ./config script fixes.
624 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
626 +) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
627 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
628 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
629 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
630 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
631 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
632 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
633 <support@securenetterm.com>]
635 +) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
636 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
637 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
638 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
639 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
640 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
643 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
646 +) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
647 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
648 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
649 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
650 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
651 printout format cleaned up.
654 +) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
655 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
656 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
657 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
658 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
659 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
660 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
661 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
664 +) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
665 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
666 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
667 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
668 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
669 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
670 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
671 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
674 +) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
675 extensions from a separate configuration file.
676 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
677 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
679 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
681 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
682 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
683 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
684 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
685 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
687 +) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
688 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
689 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
690 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
693 +) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
694 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
695 the given serial number (according to the index file).
696 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
698 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
700 +) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
701 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
702 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
703 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
705 +) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
706 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
708 +) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
709 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
710 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
713 +) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
714 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
715 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
718 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
719 call failed, free the DSA structure.
722 +) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
723 file name and line number information in additional arguments
724 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
725 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
726 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
727 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
728 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
729 functions are provided:
731 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
732 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
733 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
734 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
736 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
737 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
738 extended allocation function is enabled.
739 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
740 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
741 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
743 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
744 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
747 +) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
748 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
749 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
750 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
751 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
754 +) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
755 If an EGD or PRNGD is running and enough entropy is returned, automatic
756 seeding like with /dev/[u]random will be performed.
757 Positions tried are: /etc/entropy, /var/run/egd-pool.
760 +) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
761 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
762 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
763 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
764 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
765 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
766 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
767 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
768 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
771 +) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
772 provide utility functions which an application needing
773 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
774 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
775 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
777 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
778 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
779 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
780 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
781 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
782 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
783 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
784 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
785 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
787 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
788 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
789 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
790 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
793 +) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
794 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
795 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
796 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
797 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
798 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
799 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
800 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
801 will be added elsewhere.
804 +) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
805 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
806 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
807 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
810 +) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
811 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
812 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
813 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
814 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
815 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
816 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
817 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
818 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
819 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
820 to produce the required SET OF.
823 +) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
824 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
825 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
828 +) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
829 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
830 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
831 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
832 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
833 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
836 +) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
837 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
838 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
841 +) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
842 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
843 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
846 +) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
847 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
848 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
849 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
850 code will still work when these eventually go away.
853 +) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
854 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
857 +) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
858 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
859 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
860 certifcates and CRLs.
863 +) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
864 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
865 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
868 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
869 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
870 when writing a 32767 byte record.
871 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
873 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
874 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
876 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
877 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
878 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
879 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
880 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
882 +) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
883 entries for variables.
886 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
889 +) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
890 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
891 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
892 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
895 +) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
896 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
897 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
898 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
899 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
900 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
903 +) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
904 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
906 +) Move common extension printing code to new function
907 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
908 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
911 +) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
915 +) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
916 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
917 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
918 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
919 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
920 order did not reflect the encoded order.
923 +) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
926 +) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
927 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
928 for now but they will eventually go away.
931 +) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
932 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
933 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
934 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
935 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
936 has also been converted to the new form.
939 +) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
940 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
941 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
945 +) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
946 of not touching the result's sign bit.
949 +) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
953 +) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
954 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
955 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
956 type-specific callbacks.
959 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
962 +) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
964 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
965 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
967 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
970 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
973 +) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
974 in sections depending on the subject.
977 +) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
981 +) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
982 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
983 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
984 be handled deterministically).
985 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
987 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
988 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
991 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
992 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
993 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
994 result of the server certificate verification.)
997 +) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
998 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
999 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1002 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
1003 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
1004 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
1008 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
1009 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
1010 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
1011 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
1012 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
1013 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
1014 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
1015 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
1018 +) New function BN_kronecker.
1021 +) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1022 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1023 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1024 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1025 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1028 +) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1029 sign of the number in question.
1031 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1033 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1034 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1035 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1036 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1037 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1040 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
1041 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
1042 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
1043 happening the other way round.
1046 +) New function BN_swap.
1049 +) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1050 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1051 results on negative inputs.
1054 +) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1055 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1056 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1059 +) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1060 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1061 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1062 and add new functions:
1071 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1075 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1077 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1078 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1080 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1081 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1082 be reduced modulo m.
1083 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1085 +) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1086 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1087 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1088 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1089 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1090 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1094 +) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1095 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1096 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1097 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1098 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1100 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1101 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1102 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1106 +) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1109 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
1110 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
1113 +) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1114 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1117 +) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1118 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1119 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1120 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1124 +) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1127 +) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1130 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
1131 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
1132 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
1133 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
1136 +) Add the following functions:
1138 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1140 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1142 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1144 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1145 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1146 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1147 libraries unless it's really needed.
1149 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1150 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1151 declarations (they differed!).
1154 +) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1157 +) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1160 +) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1163 +) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1164 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1167 +) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
1168 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
1170 +) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1171 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1172 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1174 +) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
1176 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
1178 +) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1179 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1182 +) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1185 +) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1188 +) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1191 +) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1192 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1193 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1195 +) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1196 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1197 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1198 different shared library filenames on each system.
1201 +) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1204 +) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
1207 +) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1208 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1209 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1211 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1214 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1215 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1216 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1217 binary backward compatibility.
1218 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1219 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1220 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1224 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
1225 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
1227 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
1229 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
1230 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
1231 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
1234 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
1236 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
1238 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
1242 +) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1243 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1244 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1245 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1249 +) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1252 +) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1253 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1254 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1255 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1259 +) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1262 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
1264 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
1265 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
1266 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
1267 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
1268 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
1270 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
1271 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
1275 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
1278 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
1280 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
1281 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
1282 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
1283 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
1284 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
1285 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
1286 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
1287 by the Finished messages.
1290 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
1291 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
1293 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
1294 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
1295 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
1296 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
1297 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
1301 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
1302 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
1303 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
1304 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
1305 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
1306 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
1307 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
1308 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
1309 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
1313 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
1314 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
1315 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
1316 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
1318 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
1319 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
1320 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
1321 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
1322 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
1325 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
1326 been tested well enough.
1329 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
1330 it can return incorrect results.
1331 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
1332 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
1335 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
1336 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
1337 include zero length content when signing messages.
1340 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
1341 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
1344 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
1347 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
1351 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
1352 packages. The default package contains applications, application
1353 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
1354 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
1355 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
1356 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
1359 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
1360 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
1362 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
1363 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
1365 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
1366 random number < q in the DSA library.
1369 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
1370 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
1371 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
1372 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
1373 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
1374 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
1375 just makes things more complicated.)
1378 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
1382 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
1383 work better on such systems.
1384 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
1386 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
1387 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
1388 keyid to the certificates aux info.
1391 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
1392 if there was more than one signature.
1393 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
1395 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
1396 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
1397 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
1398 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
1401 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
1402 rather than always using the current time.
1405 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
1406 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
1407 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
1408 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
1409 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
1410 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
1412 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
1413 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
1415 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
1417 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
1418 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
1419 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
1420 the same hash value.
1422 As a result various functions (which were all internal
1423 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
1424 structure. This will break anything that messed round
1425 with X509_STORE internally.
1427 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
1428 exact match, rather than just subject name.
1430 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
1431 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
1432 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
1433 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
1434 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
1435 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
1436 entirely (maybe later...).
1438 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
1440 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
1441 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
1442 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
1443 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
1444 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
1445 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
1446 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
1447 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
1449 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
1450 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1452 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
1453 to customise the verify behaviour.
1456 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
1457 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
1460 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
1461 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
1462 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
1463 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
1464 request is improperly encoded.
1467 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
1468 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
1471 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
1472 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
1474 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
1475 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
1479 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
1480 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
1481 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
1484 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
1485 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
1486 BIO/fp routines also added.
1489 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
1490 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
1492 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
1493 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
1494 demos/state_machine.
1497 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
1498 generation and verification.
1501 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
1502 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
1503 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
1504 encode and decode it manually.
1507 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
1509 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
1511 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
1512 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
1513 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
1514 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
1516 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
1517 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
1518 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
1519 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
1520 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
1523 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
1526 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
1527 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
1528 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
1530 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
1531 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
1532 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
1533 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
1534 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
1535 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
1536 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
1537 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
1539 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
1540 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
1542 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
1544 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
1545 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
1546 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
1550 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
1551 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
1552 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
1553 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
1557 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
1559 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
1562 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
1563 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
1564 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
1565 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
1566 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
1567 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
1568 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
1569 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
1570 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
1571 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
1572 short or long names are found.
1575 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
1576 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
1578 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
1579 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
1580 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
1581 version rollback attacks was not effective.
1583 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
1584 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
1585 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
1586 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
1589 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
1590 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
1591 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
1594 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
1595 these print out strings and name structures based on various
1596 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
1597 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
1598 to allow the various flags to be set.
1601 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
1602 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
1603 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
1604 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
1605 dates to be checked.
1608 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
1609 negative public key encodings) on by default,
1610 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
1613 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
1614 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
1615 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
1618 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
1619 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
1622 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
1623 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
1624 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
1625 are always statically linked for now, but there are
1626 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
1627 This has been tested on Linux and True64.
1630 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
1631 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
1635 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
1639 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
1640 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
1641 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
1642 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
1643 form signing output easier to verify.
1646 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
1649 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
1650 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
1651 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
1652 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
1653 are needed because all other string types have virtually
1654 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
1655 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
1656 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
1657 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
1658 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
1661 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
1663 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
1664 the syntax given in objects.README.
1665 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
1667 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
1670 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
1671 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
1672 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
1673 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
1674 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
1675 consistent name changes.
1678 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
1681 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
1682 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
1683 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
1684 environment variable, or the default random state file.
1687 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
1688 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
1689 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
1693 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
1694 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
1695 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
1696 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
1699 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
1700 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
1701 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
1702 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
1703 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
1704 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
1705 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
1706 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
1707 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
1708 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
1709 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
1712 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
1713 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
1714 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
1715 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
1716 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
1717 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
1718 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
1719 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
1720 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
1721 algorithm to openssl-dev.
1724 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
1725 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
1726 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
1727 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
1729 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
1730 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
1731 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
1732 omit any duplicate addresses.
1735 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
1736 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
1739 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
1740 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
1741 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
1742 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
1743 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
1746 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
1748 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
1749 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
1750 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
1751 Free => OPENSSL_free
1754 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
1755 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
1758 *) CygWin32 support.
1759 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
1761 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
1762 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
1763 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
1764 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
1765 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
1769 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
1770 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
1771 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
1772 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
1773 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
1774 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
1775 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
1778 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
1779 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
1780 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
1781 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
1782 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
1783 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
1784 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
1785 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
1786 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
1787 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
1788 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
1791 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
1792 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
1793 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
1794 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
1795 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
1797 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
1798 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
1799 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
1800 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
1801 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
1803 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
1806 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
1807 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
1808 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
1809 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
1811 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
1813 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
1816 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
1817 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
1818 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
1821 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
1822 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
1823 any installed hardware versions can.
1826 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
1827 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
1828 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
1832 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
1833 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
1834 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
1835 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
1836 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
1838 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
1839 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
1842 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
1843 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
1846 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
1847 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
1848 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
1852 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
1855 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
1856 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
1857 but no ssl client purpose.
1858 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
1860 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
1861 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
1862 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
1863 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
1864 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
1865 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
1866 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
1867 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
1868 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
1869 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
1870 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
1873 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
1874 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
1875 be obtained from the error queue.
1878 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
1879 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
1880 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
1881 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
1884 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
1887 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
1888 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
1889 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
1890 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
1891 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
1894 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
1895 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
1896 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
1897 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
1898 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
1901 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
1902 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
1903 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
1905 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
1907 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
1908 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
1909 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
1910 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
1911 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
1912 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
1913 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
1914 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
1915 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
1916 or "the configuration storage API"...
1918 The new configuration file reading functions are:
1920 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
1921 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
1923 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
1925 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
1927 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
1928 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
1929 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
1930 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
1931 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
1932 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
1933 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
1935 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
1936 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
1939 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
1940 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
1941 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
1942 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
1945 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
1946 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
1947 them in a portable way.
1948 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
1950 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
1952 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
1954 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
1955 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
1957 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
1958 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
1959 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
1962 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
1963 was larger than the MD block size.
1964 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
1966 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
1967 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
1968 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
1969 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
1973 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
1974 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
1975 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
1977 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
1979 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
1981 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
1982 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
1983 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
1984 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
1985 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
1986 Additional arguments are always ignored.
1988 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
1989 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
1991 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
1992 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
1995 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
1998 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
1999 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
2001 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
2002 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
2003 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
2004 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
2007 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
2008 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
2009 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
2010 does not suppress any output.
2013 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
2014 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
2015 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
2016 with all the associated security issues.
2018 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
2019 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
2020 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
2021 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
2022 use the value in the default purpose.
2025 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
2026 and fix a memory leak.
2029 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
2030 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
2031 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
2032 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
2035 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
2036 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
2037 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
2038 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
2041 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
2042 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
2043 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
2046 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
2047 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
2050 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
2051 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
2055 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
2056 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
2059 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
2060 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
2061 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
2064 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
2065 number generation fails.
2068 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
2071 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
2072 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
2074 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
2077 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
2078 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
2080 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
2081 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
2083 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
2085 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
2086 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
2089 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
2090 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
2092 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
2093 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
2096 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
2097 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
2098 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
2099 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
2100 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
2101 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
2103 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
2104 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
2105 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
2109 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
2110 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
2111 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
2112 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
2113 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
2114 counter, some don't.)
2115 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
2116 counters or duplicate objects.
2119 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
2120 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
2123 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
2124 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
2125 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
2127 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
2128 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
2129 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
2133 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
2134 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
2137 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
2138 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
2139 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
2143 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
2144 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
2145 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
2148 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
2149 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
2150 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
2151 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
2152 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
2153 should work without changes.
2156 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
2157 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
2158 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
2159 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
2160 must be defined. E.g.,
2161 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
2162 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
2163 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
2164 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
2166 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
2170 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
2171 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
2172 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
2175 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
2176 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
2177 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
2178 request header lines. Some software needs this.
2181 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
2182 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
2183 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
2184 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
2185 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
2186 is prompted for as usual.
2189 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
2190 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
2191 autodetect the card and use it if present.
2192 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
2194 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
2195 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
2196 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
2197 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
2200 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
2203 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
2207 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
2210 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
2213 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
2217 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
2220 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
2223 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
2224 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
2227 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
2228 options to produce them.
2231 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
2232 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
2235 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
2239 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
2240 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
2241 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
2242 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
2243 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
2244 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
2245 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
2248 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
2251 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
2252 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
2253 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
2256 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
2257 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
2259 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
2260 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
2263 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
2264 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
2265 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
2269 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
2270 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
2272 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
2273 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
2274 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
2275 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
2276 generation becomes much faster.
2278 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
2279 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
2280 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
2281 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
2282 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
2283 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
2284 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
2285 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
2286 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
2287 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
2290 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
2291 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
2292 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
2293 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
2294 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
2295 trial division stage.
2298 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
2302 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
2305 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
2308 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
2309 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
2310 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
2314 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
2315 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
2316 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
2319 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
2320 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
2321 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
2322 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2324 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
2325 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
2328 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
2331 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
2332 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
2333 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
2334 Rabin-Miller iterations.
2337 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
2338 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
2339 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
2342 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
2343 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
2344 (instead of parameters) in future.
2347 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
2348 when a new cipher list is set.
2351 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
2352 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
2355 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
2356 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
2357 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
2359 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
2360 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
2361 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
2362 an error is flagged.
2364 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
2365 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
2366 the readability was also increased :-)
2367 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2369 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
2370 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
2371 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
2372 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
2376 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
2377 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
2380 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
2381 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
2382 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
2383 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
2386 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
2387 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
2388 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
2389 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
2390 because they handle more complex structures.)
2393 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
2394 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
2395 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
2396 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
2398 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
2399 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
2400 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
2401 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
2402 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
2403 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
2404 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
2407 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
2408 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
2409 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
2410 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
2411 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
2414 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
2417 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
2418 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
2419 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
2420 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
2421 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
2424 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
2428 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
2429 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
2430 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
2431 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
2434 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
2437 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
2438 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
2439 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
2440 international characters are used.
2442 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
2443 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
2444 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
2448 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
2449 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
2450 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
2453 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
2454 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
2455 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
2456 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
2457 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
2458 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
2460 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
2461 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
2462 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
2463 be handled by the string table functions.
2465 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
2466 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
2467 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
2468 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
2469 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
2473 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
2474 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
2475 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
2476 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
2477 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
2479 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
2480 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
2481 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
2482 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
2485 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
2486 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
2487 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
2488 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
2489 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
2493 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
2494 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
2495 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
2496 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
2497 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
2498 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
2499 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
2500 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
2502 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
2503 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
2504 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
2507 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
2508 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
2509 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
2510 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
2511 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
2512 support to pkcs8 application.
2515 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
2516 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
2517 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
2518 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
2519 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
2520 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
2523 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
2524 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
2525 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
2526 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
2527 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
2531 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
2532 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
2533 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
2534 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
2538 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
2539 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
2540 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
2541 and any application specific purposes.
2543 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
2544 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
2545 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
2546 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
2547 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
2548 if the certificate is self signed.
2551 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
2552 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
2555 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
2556 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
2557 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
2558 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
2561 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
2562 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
2563 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
2564 Update documentation.
2567 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
2568 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
2569 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
2570 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
2571 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
2574 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
2576 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
2578 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
2579 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
2580 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
2581 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
2582 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
2583 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
2584 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
2585 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
2586 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
2587 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
2589 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
2591 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
2592 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
2593 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
2594 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
2595 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
2597 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
2598 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
2599 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
2600 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
2601 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
2602 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
2603 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
2604 request additional information:
2605 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
2606 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
2608 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
2609 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
2610 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
2613 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
2614 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
2617 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
2620 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
2621 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2623 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
2624 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
2625 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
2629 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
2630 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
2631 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
2633 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
2634 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
2635 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
2636 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
2637 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
2638 included in OpenSSL.
2641 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
2642 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
2643 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
2644 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
2645 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
2646 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
2649 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
2653 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
2654 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
2655 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
2656 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
2657 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
2661 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
2665 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
2666 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
2667 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
2668 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
2669 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
2670 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
2671 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
2672 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
2673 be maintained manually.
2675 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
2676 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
2677 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
2678 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
2679 work because people forget to call this function]
2680 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
2681 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
2682 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
2685 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
2686 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
2687 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
2688 should be discouraged from doing it.
2691 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
2692 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
2693 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
2694 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
2695 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
2696 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
2699 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
2700 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
2701 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
2703 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
2704 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
2705 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
2707 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
2708 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
2709 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
2710 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
2711 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
2712 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
2714 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
2715 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
2716 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
2718 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
2719 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
2722 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
2723 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
2724 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
2725 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
2728 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
2731 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
2732 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
2733 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
2734 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
2735 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
2736 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
2737 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
2738 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
2739 keys so we should be OK.
2741 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
2742 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
2743 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
2744 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
2745 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
2746 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
2747 stay in the name of compatibility.
2749 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
2750 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
2751 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
2753 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
2754 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
2755 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
2756 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
2757 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
2758 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
2762 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
2763 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
2764 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
2765 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
2766 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
2767 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
2768 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
2769 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
2770 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
2771 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
2772 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
2773 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
2774 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
2777 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
2780 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
2781 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
2782 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
2783 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
2784 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
2785 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
2786 single self signed certificate. This means that:
2787 openssl verify ss.pem
2788 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
2789 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
2793 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
2794 (and add it to external session representation).
2795 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
2796 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
2797 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
2798 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
2799 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
2800 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
2802 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
2804 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
2805 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
2806 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
2807 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
2809 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
2810 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
2811 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
2814 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
2815 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
2816 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
2820 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
2821 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
2822 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
2824 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
2825 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
2826 certificate auxiliary information.
2829 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
2833 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
2834 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
2835 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
2836 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
2837 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
2838 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
2839 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
2842 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
2843 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
2846 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
2847 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
2848 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
2849 manpages and fix a few bugs.
2852 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
2855 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
2856 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
2859 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
2860 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
2861 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
2862 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
2863 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
2864 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
2865 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
2866 using the new 'x509' options.
2868 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
2869 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
2870 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
2871 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
2875 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
2876 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
2877 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
2878 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
2879 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
2882 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
2883 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
2884 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
2885 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
2886 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
2887 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
2888 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
2889 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
2890 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
2891 the key length and effective key length are equal.
2894 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
2895 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
2896 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
2897 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
2898 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
2899 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
2900 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
2903 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
2904 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
2905 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
2906 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
2907 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
2908 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
2909 openssl.cnf for more info.
2912 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
2913 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
2914 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
2915 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
2916 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
2917 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
2918 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
2919 md should be large enough anyway.
2922 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
2923 for handling the random seed file.
2925 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
2927 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
2930 x509 (when signing).
2931 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
2932 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
2933 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
2935 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
2936 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
2937 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
2938 that support '-rand'.
2941 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
2942 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
2945 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
2946 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
2949 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
2950 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
2951 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
2952 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
2956 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
2957 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
2958 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
2959 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
2962 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
2963 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
2964 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
2965 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
2966 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
2967 print out all the purposes.
2970 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
2974 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
2975 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
2976 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
2977 single function call.
2980 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
2981 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
2984 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
2985 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
2986 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
2989 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
2990 when producing the local key id.
2991 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2993 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
2994 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
2995 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
2999 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
3000 a public key to be input or output. For example:
3001 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
3002 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
3005 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
3006 in the message. This was handled by allowing
3007 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
3008 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
3010 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
3011 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
3012 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
3013 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3015 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
3016 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
3017 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
3018 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
3019 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
3020 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
3021 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
3022 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
3023 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
3024 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
3025 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
3026 trivial: move one line.
3027 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
3029 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
3030 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
3031 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
3032 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
3033 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
3034 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
3035 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
3036 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
3037 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
3038 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
3039 with an event loop for example.
3042 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
3043 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
3044 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
3045 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
3046 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
3047 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
3048 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
3049 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
3050 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
3053 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
3054 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
3055 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
3056 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
3057 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
3058 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
3061 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
3062 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
3063 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
3064 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
3066 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
3067 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
3068 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
3069 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
3073 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
3074 (still largely untested)
3077 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
3078 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
3081 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
3082 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
3085 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
3086 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
3087 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
3090 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
3091 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
3092 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
3093 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
3094 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
3097 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
3100 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
3101 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
3102 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
3103 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
3104 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
3108 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
3109 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
3112 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
3115 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
3116 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
3117 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
3118 are otherwise ignored at present.
3121 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
3122 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
3123 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
3124 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
3125 copied until the next read.
3128 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
3129 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
3130 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
3133 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
3134 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
3135 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
3136 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
3137 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
3138 associated functions.
3141 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
3142 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
3143 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
3144 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
3145 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
3146 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
3147 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
3148 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
3149 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
3153 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
3154 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
3155 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
3156 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
3159 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
3160 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
3161 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
3162 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
3163 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
3167 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
3168 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
3172 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
3173 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
3174 extensions to be obtained and added.
3177 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
3178 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
3181 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
3183 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
3184 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3186 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
3187 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
3189 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
3193 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
3194 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
3195 DH parameters contain its length).
3197 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
3198 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
3199 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
3200 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
3201 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
3202 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
3203 utter importance to use
3204 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3206 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3207 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
3208 attacks may become possible!
3211 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
3214 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
3215 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
3218 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
3219 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
3220 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
3224 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
3225 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
3226 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
3227 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
3228 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
3229 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
3230 private key operations.
3233 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
3236 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
3237 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
3239 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
3240 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
3241 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
3242 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
3243 the password callback is called.
3244 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
3246 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
3248 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
3249 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
3250 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
3251 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
3252 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
3253 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
3256 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
3257 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
3258 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
3259 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
3260 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
3261 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
3264 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
3267 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
3268 delete an unused file.
3271 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
3272 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
3273 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
3274 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
3277 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
3278 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
3279 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
3283 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
3284 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
3285 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3287 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
3288 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
3289 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
3290 comparison" warnings.
3291 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
3294 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
3295 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
3296 derived keys are printed to stderr.
3299 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
3300 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
3302 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
3303 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
3305 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
3306 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
3307 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
3309 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
3310 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
3311 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
3312 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
3313 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
3315 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
3317 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
3318 The interface is as follows:
3319 Applications can use
3320 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
3321 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
3322 "off" is now the default.
3323 The library internally uses
3324 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
3325 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
3326 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
3328 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
3329 even the default) are now avoided.
3331 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
3332 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
3333 than just having a counter.
3335 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
3337 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
3341 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
3342 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
3343 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
3344 Initial "mode" flags are:
3346 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
3347 a single record has been written.
3348 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
3349 retries use the same buffer location.
3350 (But all of the contents must be
3354 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_mode ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_mode
3357 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
3358 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
3360 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
3361 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
3362 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
3365 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
3366 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
3368 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
3370 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
3371 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
3372 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
3373 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
3375 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
3376 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
3378 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
3379 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
3380 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
3381 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
3382 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
3383 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
3386 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
3387 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
3388 necessary function names.
3391 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
3392 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
3393 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
3394 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
3397 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
3398 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
3399 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
3402 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
3403 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
3404 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
3405 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
3407 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
3411 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
3412 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
3413 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
3416 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
3417 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
3421 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
3422 for the encoded length.
3423 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
3425 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
3428 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
3429 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
3430 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
3431 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
3434 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
3435 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
3436 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3438 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
3439 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
3440 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
3444 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
3445 to use the new extension code.
3448 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
3449 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
3450 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
3454 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
3455 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
3456 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
3460 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
3463 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
3464 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
3465 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
3468 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
3469 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
3470 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
3471 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
3474 *) DES library cleanups.
3477 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
3478 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
3479 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
3480 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
3481 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
3485 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
3486 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
3489 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
3490 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
3491 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
3492 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
3493 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
3494 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
3495 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
3496 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
3497 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
3500 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
3501 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
3502 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
3503 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
3504 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
3505 value doesn't matter.
3508 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
3512 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
3513 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
3514 "linux-sparc" configuration.
3515 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
3517 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
3520 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
3521 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
3522 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3524 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
3525 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3527 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
3530 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
3533 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
3536 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
3540 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
3542 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
3544 *) Updated some demos.
3545 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
3547 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
3550 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
3553 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
3556 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
3557 instead of using a fixed path.
3560 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
3563 *) Improvements for VMS support.
3567 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
3569 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
3570 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
3571 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3573 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
3574 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
3575 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
3576 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
3577 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
3578 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
3579 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
3580 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
3581 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
3582 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
3585 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
3586 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
3589 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
3590 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
3591 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
3592 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
3593 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
3595 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
3598 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
3599 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
3600 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
3603 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
3606 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
3607 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
3608 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
3609 key elements as negative integers.
3612 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
3613 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3616 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
3618 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
3619 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
3620 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
3623 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
3624 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
3625 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
3626 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
3627 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
3630 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
3633 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
3634 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
3635 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
3636 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3638 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
3639 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
3640 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
3642 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
3643 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
3644 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
3645 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
3646 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
3647 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
3648 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
3649 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
3650 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
3652 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
3653 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
3654 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
3655 does not influence s as it used to.
3657 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
3658 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
3659 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
3660 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
3661 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
3662 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
3665 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
3666 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
3667 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
3671 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
3672 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
3673 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
3677 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
3678 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
3679 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
3683 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
3684 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
3687 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
3688 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3693 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
3694 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3696 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
3697 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3699 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
3702 *) Update HPUX configuration.
3705 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
3706 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3708 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
3709 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
3710 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
3714 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
3715 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
3716 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
3717 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
3718 now it really counts the depth.
3721 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
3722 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
3723 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
3724 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
3725 didn't match the private key).
3727 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
3728 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
3729 connection using the SSL_CTX).
3732 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
3735 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
3739 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
3740 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
3741 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
3744 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
3747 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
3748 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
3749 such as /usr/local/bin.
3752 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
3753 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
3755 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
3758 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
3759 extension adding in x509 utility.
3762 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
3765 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
3769 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
3772 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
3773 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
3774 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
3775 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
3776 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
3777 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
3778 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
3779 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
3780 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
3781 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
3784 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
3787 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
3788 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
3791 *) Fix some race conditions.
3794 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
3795 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
3798 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
3801 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
3802 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
3803 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
3804 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
3806 *) Fix lots of warnings.
3807 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3809 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
3810 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
3811 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3813 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
3814 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3816 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
3819 *) Fix typos in error codes.
3820 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
3822 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
3825 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
3826 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3828 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
3829 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
3832 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
3833 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
3836 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
3837 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
3840 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
3841 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
3844 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
3845 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
3848 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
3849 support typesafe stack.
3852 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
3853 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
3855 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
3856 old X509V3 handling code.
3859 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
3862 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
3865 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
3868 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
3869 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
3871 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
3872 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
3873 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
3874 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
3875 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
3878 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
3879 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
3880 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
3881 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
3882 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
3884 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
3885 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
3886 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
3887 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3889 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
3890 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
3891 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
3892 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3894 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
3895 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
3896 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
3897 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
3898 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
3899 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
3902 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
3903 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
3906 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
3907 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
3910 *) Tweaks to Configure
3911 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
3913 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
3917 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
3920 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
3921 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
3924 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
3925 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
3926 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
3929 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
3932 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
3933 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
3936 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
3937 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
3938 to library startup routines.
3941 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
3942 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
3943 codes along the way.
3946 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
3947 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
3948 objects to objects.h
3951 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
3952 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
3955 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
3956 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
3958 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
3959 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
3960 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
3962 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
3963 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
3964 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3966 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
3967 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
3968 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
3971 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
3973 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
3974 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
3977 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
3978 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
3979 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
3980 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
3981 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
3983 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
3984 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
3985 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
3987 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3989 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
3991 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
3993 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
3994 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
3996 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
3997 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
3998 if someone would make that last step automatic.
3999 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
4001 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
4004 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
4005 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
4006 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
4007 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
4010 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
4011 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
4012 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
4015 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
4016 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
4017 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
4018 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
4019 installed as `perl').
4020 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4022 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
4023 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4025 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
4026 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
4027 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
4028 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
4029 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
4032 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
4035 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
4036 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
4037 is horrible: I feel ill....
4040 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
4041 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
4042 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
4043 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
4046 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
4047 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4049 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
4050 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
4051 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
4052 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4054 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
4055 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
4056 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
4057 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
4058 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
4059 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
4061 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4063 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
4064 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4066 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
4067 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
4069 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
4072 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
4073 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
4077 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
4078 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
4079 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
4080 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
4081 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
4082 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
4083 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
4084 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
4085 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
4086 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
4087 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4089 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
4092 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
4093 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
4094 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
4095 for linking it into DSOs.
4096 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4098 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
4102 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
4103 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
4104 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
4105 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
4106 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
4107 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4109 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
4110 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
4111 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
4112 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
4113 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
4114 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
4115 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4117 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
4118 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
4119 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
4123 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
4124 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
4125 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
4126 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
4129 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
4130 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
4131 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
4132 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
4133 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
4137 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
4138 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
4139 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
4140 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
4141 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4143 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
4144 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
4145 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4147 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
4148 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4150 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
4151 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
4152 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
4153 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
4154 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
4157 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
4158 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
4159 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
4160 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
4161 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
4162 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
4163 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
4166 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
4168 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
4169 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
4172 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
4173 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
4175 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
4176 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
4179 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
4180 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
4181 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
4182 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
4183 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
4185 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
4186 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
4187 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
4188 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
4189 no way to reconfigure them.
4190 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
4191 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
4192 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
4193 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
4194 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
4195 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4197 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
4198 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
4199 recognized by the users.
4200 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4202 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
4203 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
4204 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
4205 already masked variable.
4206 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4208 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
4209 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4211 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
4212 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
4213 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
4214 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4216 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
4217 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
4218 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4220 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
4221 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
4222 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
4223 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
4224 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
4225 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
4226 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
4227 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
4229 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4231 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
4232 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
4233 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4235 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
4236 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
4240 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
4241 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4243 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
4244 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
4245 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
4246 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
4249 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
4252 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
4253 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4255 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
4258 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
4259 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
4262 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
4263 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
4266 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
4267 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
4268 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
4269 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
4270 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
4271 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
4272 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
4275 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
4276 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4278 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
4279 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
4280 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
4281 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
4282 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4284 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
4285 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
4286 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
4289 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
4290 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
4294 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
4295 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
4296 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4298 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
4299 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
4300 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
4304 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
4305 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
4306 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
4307 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
4310 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
4311 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
4312 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
4313 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
4316 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
4317 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
4318 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
4319 so it wasn't spotted.
4320 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
4322 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
4323 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
4324 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
4325 vectors if you have them.
4328 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
4329 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
4332 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
4333 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
4334 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
4335 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
4337 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
4338 it will update them.
4341 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
4342 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
4343 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
4344 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
4345 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
4346 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
4347 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
4348 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4350 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
4351 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
4352 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
4353 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
4354 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
4355 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
4356 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
4357 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
4358 the crypto/md/ stuff).
4359 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4361 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
4362 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
4363 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
4364 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
4365 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
4368 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
4372 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
4373 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4375 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
4376 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4378 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
4379 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
4382 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
4383 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
4385 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
4386 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
4388 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
4391 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
4395 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
4396 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
4397 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
4398 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4400 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
4403 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
4406 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
4409 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
4410 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
4413 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
4414 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
4418 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
4419 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
4422 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
4423 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
4424 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
4427 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
4428 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
4429 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
4430 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
4431 properly to be processed.
4434 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
4435 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
4436 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
4439 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
4440 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
4442 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
4443 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
4444 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
4445 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
4446 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
4447 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
4448 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
4449 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
4450 or delete all the .err files.
4453 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
4454 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
4455 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
4456 to regenerate it if needed.
4457 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
4458 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
4460 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
4461 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4463 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
4464 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
4465 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
4466 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
4467 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
4470 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
4471 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4473 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
4474 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4476 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
4477 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
4478 error, but didn't set one).
4479 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4481 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
4484 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
4485 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
4488 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
4489 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
4491 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
4492 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
4493 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
4494 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
4495 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
4496 OID is not part of the table.
4499 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
4500 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
4503 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
4506 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
4507 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
4511 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
4512 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
4514 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
4516 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4518 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
4519 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4521 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
4522 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4524 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
4525 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4527 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
4528 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
4531 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
4532 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
4535 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
4536 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4538 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
4539 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4541 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
4542 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4544 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
4545 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4547 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
4548 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
4549 unused in the certificate verification process.
4550 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4552 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
4553 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
4556 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
4557 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
4558 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
4560 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
4561 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
4562 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
4563 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
4564 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
4566 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
4567 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
4570 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
4573 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
4576 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
4577 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
4579 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
4582 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
4585 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
4588 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
4589 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
4590 other error libraries.
4593 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
4596 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
4597 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
4601 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
4602 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
4603 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
4604 the new set of documenation files.
4605 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4607 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
4608 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
4609 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
4610 number of arguments.
4611 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
4613 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
4616 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
4617 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
4618 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4620 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
4623 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
4627 unixware-2.0-pentium
4631 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
4632 before they are needed.
4635 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
4639 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
4641 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
4642 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
4643 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4645 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
4648 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
4649 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
4650 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4652 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
4653 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
4654 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
4656 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
4657 when "ssleay" is still not found.
4658 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4660 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
4661 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
4663 *) Updated the README file.
4664 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4666 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
4667 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
4668 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4670 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
4671 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
4672 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4674 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
4675 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
4676 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
4677 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
4678 o removed obsolete TODO file
4679 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
4680 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4682 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
4683 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
4684 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
4685 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
4686 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
4687 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
4688 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4690 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
4693 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
4694 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
4695 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
4697 [The OpenSSL Project]
4700 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
4702 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
4705 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
4708 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
4709 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
4712 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
4713 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
4717 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
4719 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
4721 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
4724 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
4727 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
4730 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
4733 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
4736 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
4739 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
4742 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
4745 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
4748 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
4751 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
4754 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
4757 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
4760 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
4763 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
4766 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
4769 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
4772 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
4773 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
4774 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4777 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
4778 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
