5 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2001]
7 OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001 and 9 July 2001)
8 and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were developed in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
10 Change log entries are tagged as follows:
11 -) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c only
12 *) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c and 0.9.7
13 +) applies to 0.9.7 only
15 +) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
16 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
17 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
18 false once a handshake has been completed.
19 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
20 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
21 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
22 client has followed the request.)
25 +) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
26 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
27 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
28 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
31 *) Fix ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Do not call ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
32 when just sending a HelloRequest as this could interfere with
33 application data writes (and is totally unnecessary).
34 [Bodo Moeller; bug pointed out by Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
36 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
37 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
38 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
39 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
40 may leak via logfiles.)
42 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
43 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
44 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
45 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
49 +) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
52 +) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
53 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
54 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
57 +) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7 and support including
58 shared libraries for OpenUNIX-8 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
61 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
62 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
63 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
64 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
65 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
68 +) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
69 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
70 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
71 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
74 +) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
75 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
76 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
77 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
78 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
79 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
82 +) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
83 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
84 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
85 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
86 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
87 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
88 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
89 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
93 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
95 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
96 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
99 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
100 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
101 followed by modular reduction.
102 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
104 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
105 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
108 +) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
111 +) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
112 md_data void pointer.
115 +) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
116 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
117 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
118 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
119 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
120 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
123 +) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
124 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
125 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
126 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
127 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
128 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
129 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
130 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
131 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
132 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
133 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
134 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
135 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
136 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
137 rather than letting it slide.
139 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
140 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
141 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
144 +) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
145 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
146 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
147 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
148 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
149 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
150 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
151 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
152 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
155 +) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
156 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
157 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
158 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
159 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
161 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
164 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
165 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
166 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
167 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
170 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
173 +) Add EVP test program.
176 +) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
179 +) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
180 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
181 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
182 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
183 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
186 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
187 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
190 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
191 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
192 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
193 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
194 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
195 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
197 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
199 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
200 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
201 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
202 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
203 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
205 +) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
206 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
207 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
208 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
209 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
210 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
211 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
213 +) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
214 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions. This also reduces
215 the number of header dependencies.
218 +) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
219 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
220 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
221 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
225 +) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
228 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
229 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
230 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
231 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
232 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
233 to allow the necessary settings.
236 +) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
237 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
238 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
239 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
240 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
241 functions prevents this.
244 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
245 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
246 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
247 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
250 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
251 dh->length and always used
253 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
255 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
256 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
257 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
258 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
259 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
264 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
266 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
272 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
273 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
274 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
275 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
277 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
278 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
279 always reject numbers >= n.
282 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
283 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
284 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
285 variable) is not atomic.
288 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
289 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
290 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
291 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
293 +) Cleanup of EVP macros.
296 +) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
300 +) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
301 revocation information is handled using the text based index
302 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
303 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
304 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
307 +) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
310 +) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
311 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
312 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
313 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
315 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
316 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
318 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
319 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
320 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
323 +) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
324 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
325 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
326 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
329 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6b released [9 July 2001]
331 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
332 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
333 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
334 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
335 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
336 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
337 to traverse all of 'state'.
339 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
340 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
341 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
343 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
344 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
346 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
347 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
348 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
349 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
350 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
351 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
352 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
353 further strengthens the PRNG.
356 +) Speed up EVP routines.

371 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
374 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
377 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
378 an error message in this case.
381 +) Added the OS2-EMX target.
382 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
384 +) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
385 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
386 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
387 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
388 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
389 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
392 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
395 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
396 positive and less than q.
399 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
400 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
403 +) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
404 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
405 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
406 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
408 +) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
409 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
410 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
411 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
412 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
413 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
417 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
418 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
419 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
420 and interrupts/cancellations.
423 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
424 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
426 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
428 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
429 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
432 +) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
433 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
437 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
439 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
440 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
441 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
442 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
443 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
444 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
445 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
448 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
449 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
450 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
451 detect the supposedly ignored error.
453 Both problems are now fixed.
456 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
457 (previously it was 1024).
460 +) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
461 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
462 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
464 +) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
465 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
469 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
470 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
473 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
476 +) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
477 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
478 than this minimum value is recommended.
481 +) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
482 that are easily reachable.
485 +) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
486 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
488 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
490 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
491 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
492 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
493 needed for static libraries under Win32.
496 +) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
497 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
498 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
501 +) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
502 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
503 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
504 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
505 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
506 internally such as S/MIME.
508 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
509 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
510 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
512 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
516 +) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
517 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
518 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
519 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
521 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
523 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
525 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
526 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
527 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
531 +) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
532 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
533 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
534 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
535 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
536 a window system and the like.
539 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
540 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
541 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
544 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
545 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
546 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
547 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
548 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
549 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
550 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
551 environment variables.
553 +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
554 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
557 +) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
558 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
559 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
560 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
561 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
562 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
563 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
564 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
565 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
569 +) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
570 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
574 +) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
575 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
576 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
577 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
578 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
579 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
580 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
581 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
584 +) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
585 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
586 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
587 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
588 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
589 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
590 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
591 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
592 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
593 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
594 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
595 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
596 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
597 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
598 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
599 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
600 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
603 +) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
604 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
605 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
606 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
607 internal engine_int.h header.
610 +) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
611 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
612 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
613 modify their own ones).
616 +) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
617 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
618 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
619 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
620 later on via ctrl() commands.
621 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
622 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
623 structural references.
624 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
625 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
626 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
627 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
628 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
629 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
630 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
631 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
632 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
633 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
634 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
635 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
638 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
639 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
640 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
643 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
644 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
645 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
646 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
647 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
648 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
651 +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
652 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
653 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
654 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
655 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
656 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
657 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
658 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
661 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
665 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6a released [5 Apr 2001]
667 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
668 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
670 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
671 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
672 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
673 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
677 +) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
678 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
681 -) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
682 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
683 amount of data available.
684 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
685 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
687 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
688 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
689 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
690 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
693 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
694 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
698 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
699 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
700 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
701 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
704 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
707 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
710 -) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
711 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
713 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
715 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
716 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
717 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
718 (but broken) behaviour.
721 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
723 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
725 +) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
726 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
729 +) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
730 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
731 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
732 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
733 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
734 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
735 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
738 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
739 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
742 +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication
743 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally
744 including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP.
745 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
746 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
750 +) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
752 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
753 operations and provides various method functions that can also
754 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
756 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
757 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
759 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
760 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
761 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
763 +) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
766 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
767 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
769 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
771 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
772 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
773 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
776 +) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
777 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
780 +) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
781 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
782 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
783 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
784 is 40 of more characters long.
787 +) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
788 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
792 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
796 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
797 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
799 +) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
800 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
803 +) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
804 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
808 +) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
810 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
811 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
814 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
816 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
817 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
818 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
820 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
821 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
823 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
826 +) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
830 +) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
831 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
832 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
833 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
835 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
837 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
838 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
840 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
843 +) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
844 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
845 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
846 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
847 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
848 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
850 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
851 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
853 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
854 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
856 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
857 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
859 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
860 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
861 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
862 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
864 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
865 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
867 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
868 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
870 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
871 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
872 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
873 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
874 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
877 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
878 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
879 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
881 +) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
882 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
883 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
884 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
887 +) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
888 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
889 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
893 +) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
894 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
895 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
896 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
897 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
898 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
899 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
900 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
904 +) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
905 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
908 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
909 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
910 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
913 +) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
914 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
915 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
916 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
919 +) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
920 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
921 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
922 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
923 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
924 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
925 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
926 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
927 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
928 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
931 +) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
932 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
933 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
934 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
935 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
936 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
937 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
938 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
940 +) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
941 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
942 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
943 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
946 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
947 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
950 +) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
951 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
952 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
953 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
955 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
956 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
957 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
958 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
959 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
963 +) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
964 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
965 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
966 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
970 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
971 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
973 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
975 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
977 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
978 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
979 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
980 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
983 +) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
984 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
985 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
988 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
991 +) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
992 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
993 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
994 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
995 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
998 +) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1001 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
1002 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
1003 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
1005 +) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1006 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1007 option to ocsp utility.
1010 +) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1011 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1012 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1013 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1014 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1015 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1016 the request is nonce-less.
1019 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
1022 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1024 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
1025 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
1026 but the code is actually correct.
1029 +) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1030 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1031 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1034 +) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1035 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1036 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1039 +) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1040 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1041 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1042 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1043 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1046 +) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1047 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1051 +) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1052 additional certificates supplied.
1055 +) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1056 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1060 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
1061 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
1062 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
1063 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
1064 and leaves the highest bit random.
1065 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
1067 +) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1068 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1069 AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
1070 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
1071 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1073 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
1074 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
1075 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
1076 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
1077 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
1078 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
1079 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
1082 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
1085 +) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1086 request to response.
1089 +) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1090 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1091 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1092 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1093 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1094 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1095 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1096 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1097 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1098 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1099 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1102 +) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1103 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1104 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1105 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1108 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
1109 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
1112 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
1113 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
1114 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
1115 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
1119 +) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1120 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1122 +) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1123 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1124 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1127 -) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
1128 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
1129 and break the signature.
1131 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1133 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
1137 +) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1138 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1139 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1140 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1141 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1143 +) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1144 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1145 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1148 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
1149 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
1150 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
1151 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
1152 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
1155 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
1156 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
1158 *) ./config script fixes.
1159 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
1161 +) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1162 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1163 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1164 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1165 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1166 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1167 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1168 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1170 +) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1171 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1172 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1173 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1174 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1175 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1178 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
1181 +) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1182 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1183 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1184 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1185 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1186 printout format cleaned up.
1189 +) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1190 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1191 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1192 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1193 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1194 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1195 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1196 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1199 +) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1200 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1201 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1202 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1203 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1204 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1205 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1206 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1209 +) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1210 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1211 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1212 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1214 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1216 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
1217 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
1218 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
1219 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
1220 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
1222 +) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1223 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1224 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1225 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1228 +) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1229 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1230 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1231 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1233 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1235 +) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1236 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1237 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1238 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1240 +) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1241 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1243 +) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1244 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1245 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1248 +) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1249 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1250 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1253 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
1254 call failed, free the DSA structure.
1257 +) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1258 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1259 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1260 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1261 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1262 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1263 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1264 functions are provided:
1266 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1267 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1268 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1269 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1271 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1272 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1273 extended allocation function is enabled.
1274 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1275 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1276 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1278 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
1279 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
1282 +) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1283 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1284 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1285 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1286 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1289 +) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1290 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1291 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1293 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1294 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1295 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1298 +) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1299 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1300 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1301 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1302 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1303 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1304 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1305 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1306 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1309 +) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1310 provide utility functions which an application needing
1311 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1312 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1313 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1315 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1316 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1317 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1318 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1319 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1320 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1321 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1322 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1323 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1325 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1326 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1327 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1328 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1331 +) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1332 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1333 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1334 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1335 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1336 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1337 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1338 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1339 will be added elsewhere.
1342 +) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1343 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1344 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1345 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1348 +) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1349 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1350 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1351 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1352 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1353 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1354 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1355 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1356 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1357 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1358 to produce the required SET OF.
1361 +) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1362 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1363 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1366 +) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1367 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1368 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1369 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1370 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1371 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1374 +) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1375 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1376 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1379 +) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1380 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1381 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1384 +) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1385 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1386 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1387 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1388 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1391 +) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1392 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1395 +) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1396 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1397 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1398 certifcates and CRLs.
1401 +) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1402 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1403 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1406 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
1407 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
1408 when writing a 32767 byte record.
1409 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
1411 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
1412 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
1414 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
1415 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
1416 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
1417 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
1418 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
1420 +) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1421 entries for variables.
1424 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
1427 +) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1428 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1429 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1430 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1433 +) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1434 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1435 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1436 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1437 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1438 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1441 +) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1442 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1444 +) Move common extension printing code to new function
1445 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1446 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1449 +) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1453 +) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1454 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1455 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1456 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1457 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1458 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1461 +) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1464 +) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1465 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1466 for now but they will eventually go away.
1469 +) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1470 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1471 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1472 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1473 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1474 has also been converted to the new form.
1477 +) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1478 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1479 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1480 for negative moduli.
1483 +) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1484 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1487 +) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1491 +) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1492 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1493 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1494 type-specific callbacks.
1497 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
1500 +) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1502 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1503 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1505 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
1508 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
1511 +) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1512 in sections depending on the subject.
1515 +) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1519 +) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1520 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1521 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1522 be handled deterministically).
1523 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1525 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
1526 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
1529 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
1530 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
1531 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
1532 result of the server certificate verification.)
1535 +) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1536 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1537 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1540 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
1541 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
1542 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
1546 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
1547 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
1548 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
1549 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
1550 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
1551 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
1552 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
1553 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
1556 +) New function BN_kronecker.
1559 +) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1560 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1561 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1562 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1563 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1566 +) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1567 sign of the number in question.
1569 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1571 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1572 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1573 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1574 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1575 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1578 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
1579 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
1580 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
1581 happening the other way round.
1584 +) New function BN_swap.
1587 +) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1588 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1589 results on negative inputs.
1592 +) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1593 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1594 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1597 +) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1598 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1599 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1600 and add new functions:
1609 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1613 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1615 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1616 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1618 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1619 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1620 be reduced modulo m.
1621 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1623 +) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1624 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1625 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1626 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1627 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1628 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1632 +) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1633 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1634 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1635 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1636 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1638 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1639 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1640 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1644 +) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1647 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
1648 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
1651 +) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1652 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1655 +) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1656 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1657 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1658 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1662 +) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1665 +) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1668 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
1669 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
1670 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
1671 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
1674 +) Add the following functions:
1676 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1678 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1680 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1682 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1683 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1684 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1685 libraries unless it's really needed.
1687 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1688 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1689 declarations (they differed!).
1692 +) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1695 +) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1698 +) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1701 +) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1702 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1705 +) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
1706 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
1708 +) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1709 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1710 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1712 +) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
1714 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
1716 +) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1717 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1720 +) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1723 +) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1726 +) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1729 +) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1730 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1731 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1733 +) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1734 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1735 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1736 different shared library filenames on each system.
1739 +) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1742 +) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
1745 +) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1746 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1747 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1749 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1752 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1753 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1754 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1755 binary backward compatibility.
1756 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1757 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1758 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1762 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
1763 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
1765 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
1767 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
1768 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
1769 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
1772 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
1774 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
1776 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
1780 +) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1781 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1782 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1783 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1787 +) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1790 +) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1791 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1792 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1793 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1797 +) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1800 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
1802 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
1803 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
1804 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
1805 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
1806 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
1808 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
1809 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
1813 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
1816 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
1818 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
1819 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
1820 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
1821 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
1822 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
1823 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
1824 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
1825 by the Finished messages.
1828 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
1829 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
1831 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
1832 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
1833 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
1834 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
1835 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
1839 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
1840 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
1841 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
1842 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
1843 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
1844 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
1845 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
1846 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
1847 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
1851 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
1852 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
1853 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
1854 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
1856 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
1857 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
1858 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
1859 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
1860 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
1863 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
1864 been tested well enough.
1867 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
1868 it can return incorrect results.
1869 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
1870 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
1873 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
1874 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
1875 include zero length content when signing messages.
1878 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
1879 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
1882 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
1885 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
1889 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
1890 packages. The default package contains applications, application
1891 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
1892 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
1893 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
1894 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
1897 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
1898 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
1900 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
1901 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
1903 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
1904 random number < q in the DSA library.
1907 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
1908 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
1909 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
1910 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
1911 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
1912 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
1913 just makes things more complicated.)
1916 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
1920 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
1921 work better on such systems.
1922 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
1924 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
1925 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
1926 keyid to the certificates aux info.
1929 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
1930 if there was more than one signature.
1931 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
1933 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
1934 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
1935 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
1936 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
1939 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
1940 rather than always using the current time.
1943 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
1944 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
1945 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
1946 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
1947 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
1948 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
1950 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
1951 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
1953 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
1955 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
1956 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
1957 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
1958 the same hash value.
1960 As a result various functions (which were all internal
1961 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
1962 structure. This will break anything that messed round
1963 with X509_STORE internally.
1965 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
1966 exact match, rather than just subject name.
1968 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
1969 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
1970 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
1971 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
1972 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
1973 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
1974 entirely (maybe later...).
1976 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
1978 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
1979 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
1980 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
1981 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
1982 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
1983 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
1984 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
1985 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
1987 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
1988 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1990 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
1991 to customise the verify behaviour.
1994 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
1995 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
1998 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
1999 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2000 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2001 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2002 request is improperly encoded.
2005 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2006 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2009 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2010 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2012 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2013 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2017 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2018 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2019 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2022 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2023 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2024 BIO/fp routines also added.
2027 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2028 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2030 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2031 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2032 demos/state_machine.
2035 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2036 generation and verification.
2039 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2040 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2041 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2042 encode and decode it manually.
2045 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2047 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2049 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2050 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2051 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2052 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2054 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2055 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2056 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2057 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2058 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2061 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2064 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2065 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2066 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2068 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2069 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
2070 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
2071 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2072 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2073 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2074 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2075 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
2077 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
2078 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
2080 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
2082 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
2083 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
2084 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
2088 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
2089 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
2090 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
2091 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
2095 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
2097 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
2100 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
2101 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
2102 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
2103 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
2104 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
2105 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
2106 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
2107 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
2108 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
2109 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
2110 short or long names are found.
2113 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
2114 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
2116 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
2117 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
2118 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
2119 version rollback attacks was not effective.
2121 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
2122 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
2123 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
2124 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
2127 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
2128 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
2129 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
2132 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
2133 these print out strings and name structures based on various
2134 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
2135 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
2136 to allow the various flags to be set.
2139 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
2140 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
2141 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
2142 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
2143 dates to be checked.
2146 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
2147 negative public key encodings) on by default,
2148 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
2151 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
2152 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
2153 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
2156 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
2157 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
2160 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
2161 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
2162 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
2163 are always statically linked for now, but there are
2164 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
2165 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
2168 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
2169 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
2173 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
2177 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
2178 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
2179 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
2180 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
2181 form signing output easier to verify.
2184 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
2187 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
2188 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
2189 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
2190 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
2191 are needed because all other string types have virtually
2192 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
2193 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
2194 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
2195 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
2196 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
2199 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
2201 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
2202 the syntax given in objects.README.
2203 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
2205 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
2208 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
2209 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
2210 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
2211 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
2212 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
2213 consistent name changes.
2216 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
2219 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
2220 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
2221 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
2222 environment variable, or the default random state file.
2225 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
2226 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
2227 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
2231 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
2232 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
2233 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
2234 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
2237 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
2238 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
2239 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
2240 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
2241 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
2242 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
2243 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
2244 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
2245 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
2246 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
2247 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
2250 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
2251 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
2252 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
2253 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
2254 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
2255 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
2256 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
2257 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
2258 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
2259 algorithm to openssl-dev.
2262 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
2263 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
2264 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
2265 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
2267 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
2268 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
2269 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
2270 omit any duplicate addresses.
2273 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
2274 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
2277 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
2278 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
2279 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
2280 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
2281 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
2284 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
2286 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
2287 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
2288 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
2289 Free => OPENSSL_free
2292 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
2293 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
2296 *) CygWin32 support.
2297 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
2299 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
2300 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
2301 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
2302 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
2303 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
2307 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
2308 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
2309 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
2310 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
2311 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
2312 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
2313 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
2316 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
2317 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
2318 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
2319 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
2320 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
2321 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
2322 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
2323 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
2324 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
2325 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
2326 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
2329 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
2330 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
2331 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
2332 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
2333 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
2335 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
2336 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
2337 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
2338 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
2339 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
2341 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
2344 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
2345 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
2346 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
2347 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
2349 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
2351 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
2354 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
2355 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
2356 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
2359 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
2360 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
2361 any installed hardware versions can.
2364 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
2365 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
2366 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
2370 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
2371 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
2372 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
2373 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
2374 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
2376 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
2377 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
2380 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
2381 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
2384 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
2385 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
2386 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
2390 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
2393 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
2394 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
2395 but no ssl client purpose.
2396 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
2398 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
2399 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
2400 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
2401 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
2402 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
2403 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
2404 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
2405 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
2406 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
2407 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
2408 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
2411 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
2412 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
2413 be obtained from the error queue.
2416 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
2417 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
2418 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
2419 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
2422 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
2425 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
2426 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
2427 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
2428 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
2429 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
2432 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
2433 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
2434 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
2435 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
2436 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
2439 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
2440 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
2441 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
2443 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
2445 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
2446 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
2447 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
2448 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
2449 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
2450 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
2451 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
2452 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
2453 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
2454 or "the configuration storage API"...
2456 The new configuration file reading functions are:
2458 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
2459 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
2461 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
2463 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
2465 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
2466 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
2467 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
2468 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
2469 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
2470 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
2471 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
2473 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
2474 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
2477 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
2478 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
2479 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
2480 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
2483 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
2484 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
2485 them in a portable way.
2486 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
2488 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
2490 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
2492 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
2493 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
2495 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
2496 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
2497 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
2500 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
2501 was larger than the MD block size.
2502 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
2504 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
2505 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
2506 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
2507 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
2511 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
2512 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
2513 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
2515 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
2517 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
2519 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
2520 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
2521 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
2522 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
2523 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
2524 Additional arguments are always ignored.
2526 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
2527 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
2529 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
2530 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
2533 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
2536 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
2537 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
2539 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
2540 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
2541 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
2542 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
2545 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
2546 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
2547 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
2548 does not suppress any output.
2551 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
2552 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
2553 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
2554 with all the associated security issues.
2556 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
2557 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
2558 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
2559 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
2560 use the value in the default purpose.
2563 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
2564 and fix a memory leak.
2567 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
2568 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
2569 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
2570 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
2573 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
2574 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
2575 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
2576 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
2579 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
2580 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
2581 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
2584 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
2585 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
2588 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
2589 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
2593 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
2594 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
2597 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
2598 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
2599 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
2602 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
2603 number generation fails.
2606 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
2609 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
2610 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
2612 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
2615 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
2616 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
2618 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
2619 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
2621 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
2623 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
2624 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
2627 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
2628 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
2630 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
2631 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
2634 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
2635 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
2636 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
2637 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
2638 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
2639 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
2641 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
2642 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
2643 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
2647 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
2648 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
2649 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
2650 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
2651 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
2652 counter, some don't.)
2653 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
2654 counters or duplicate objects.
2657 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
2658 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
2661 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
2662 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
2663 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
2665 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
2666 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
2667 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
2671 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
2672 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
2675 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
2676 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
2677 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
2681 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
2682 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
2683 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
2686 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
2687 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
2688 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
2689 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
2690 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
2691 should work without changes.
2694 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
2695 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
2696 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
2697 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
2698 must be defined. E.g.,
2699 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
2700 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
2701 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
2702 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
2704 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
2708 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
2709 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
2710 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
2713 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
2714 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
2715 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
2716 request header lines. Some software needs this.
2719 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
2720 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
2721 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
2722 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
2723 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
2724 is prompted for as usual.
2727 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
2728 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
2729 autodetect the card and use it if present.
2730 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
2732 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
2733 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
2734 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
2735 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
2738 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
2741 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
2745 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
2748 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
2751 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
2755 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
2758 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
2761 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
2762 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
2765 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
2766 options to produce them.
2769 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
2770 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
2773 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
2777 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
2778 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
2779 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
2780 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
2781 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
2782 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
2783 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
2786 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
2789 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
2790 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
2791 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
2794 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
2795 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
2797 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
2798 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
2801 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
2802 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
2803 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
2807 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
2808 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
2810 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
2811 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
2812 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
2813 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
2814 generation becomes much faster.
2816 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
2817 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
2818 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
2819 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
2820 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
2821 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
2822 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
2823 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
2824 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
2825 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
2828 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
2829 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
2830 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
2831 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
2832 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
2833 trial division stage.
2836 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
2840 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
2843 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
2846 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
2847 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
2848 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
2852 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
2853 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
2854 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
2857 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
2858 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
2859 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
2860 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2862 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
2863 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
2866 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
2869 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
2870 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
2871 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
2872 Rabin-Miller iterations.
2875 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
2876 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
2877 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
2880 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
2881 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
2882 (instead of parameters) in future.
2885 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
2886 when a new cipher list is set.
2889 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
2890 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
2893 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
2894 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
2895 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
2897 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
2898 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
2899 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
2900 an error is flagged.
2902 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
2903 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
2904 the readability was also increased :-)
2905 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2907 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
2908 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
2909 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
2910 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
2914 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
2915 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
2918 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
2919 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
2920 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
2921 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
2924 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
2925 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
2926 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
2927 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
2928 because they handle more complex structures.)
2931 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
2932 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
2933 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
2934 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
2936 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
2937 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
2938 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
2939 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
2940 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
2941 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
2942 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
2945 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
2946 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
2947 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
2948 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
2949 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
2952 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
2955 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
2956 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
2957 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
2958 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
2959 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
2962 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
2966 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
2967 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
2968 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
2969 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
2972 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
2975 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
2976 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
2977 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
2978 international characters are used.
2980 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
2981 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
2982 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
2986 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
2987 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
2988 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
2991 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
2992 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
2993 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
2994 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
2995 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
2996 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
2998 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
2999 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3000 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3001 be handled by the string table functions.
3003 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3004 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3005 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3006 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3007 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3011 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3012 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3013 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3014 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3015 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3017 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3018 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3019 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3020 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3023 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3024 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3025 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3026 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3027 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3031 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3032 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3033 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3034 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3035 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3036 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3037 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3038 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3040 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3041 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3042 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3045 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3046 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3047 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3048 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3049 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3050 support to pkcs8 application.
3053 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3054 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3055 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3056 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3057 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3058 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
3061 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
3062 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
3063 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
3064 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
3065 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
3069 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
3070 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
3071 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
3072 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
3076 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
3077 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
3078 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
3079 and any application specific purposes.
3081 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
3082 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
3083 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
3084 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
3085 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
3086 if the certificate is self signed.
3089 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
3090 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
3093 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
3094 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
3095 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
3096 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
3099 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
3100 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
3101 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
3102 Update documentation.
3105 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
3106 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
3107 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
3108 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
3109 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
3112 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
3114 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
3116 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
3117 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
3118 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
3119 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
3120 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
3121 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
3122 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
3123 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
3124 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
3125 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
3127 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
3129 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3130 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3131 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
3132 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
3133 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
3135 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
3136 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
3137 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
3138 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
3139 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
3140 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
3141 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
3142 request additional information:
3143 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
3144 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
3146 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
3147 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
3148 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
3151 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
3152 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
3155 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
3158 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
3159 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3161 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
3162 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
3163 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
3167 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
3168 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
3169 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
3171 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
3172 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
3173 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
3174 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
3175 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
3176 included in OpenSSL.
3179 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
3180 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
3181 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
3182 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
3183 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
3184 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
3187 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
3191 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
3192 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
3193 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
3194 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
3195 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
3199 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
3203 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
3204 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
3205 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
3206 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
3207 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
3208 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
3209 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
3210 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
3211 be maintained manually.
3213 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
3214 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
3215 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
3216 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
3217 work because people forget to call this function]
3218 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
3219 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
3220 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
3223 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
3224 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
3225 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
3226 should be discouraged from doing it.
3229 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
3230 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
3231 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
3232 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
3233 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
3234 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
3237 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
3238 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
3239 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
3241 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
3242 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
3243 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
3245 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
3246 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
3247 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
3248 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
3249 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
3250 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
3252 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
3253 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
3254 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
3256 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
3257 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
3260 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
3261 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
3262 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
3263 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
3266 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
3269 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
3270 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
3271 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
3272 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
3273 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
3274 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
3275 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
3276 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
3277 keys so we should be OK.
3279 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
3280 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
3281 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
3282 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
3283 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
3284 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
3285 stay in the name of compatibility.
3287 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
3288 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
3289 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
3291 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
3292 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
3293 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
3294 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
3295 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
3296 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
3300 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
3301 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
3302 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
3303 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
3304 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
3305 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
3306 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
3307 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
3308 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
3309 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
3310 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
3311 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
3312 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
3315 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
3318 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
3319 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
3320 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
3321 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
3322 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
3323 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
3324 single self signed certificate. This means that:
3325 openssl verify ss.pem
3326 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
3327 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
3331 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
3332 (and add it to external session representation).
3333 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
3334 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
3335 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
3336 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
3337 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
3338 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
3340 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
3342 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
3343 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
3344 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
3345 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
3347 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
3348 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
3349 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
3352 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
3353 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
3354 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
3358 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
3359 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
3360 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
3362 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
3363 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
3364 certificate auxiliary information.
3367 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
3371 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
3372 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
3373 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
3374 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
3375 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
3376 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
3377 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
3380 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
3381 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
3384 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
3385 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
3386 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
3387 manpages and fix a few bugs.
3390 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
3393 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
3394 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
3397 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
3398 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
3399 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
3400 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
3401 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
3402 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
3403 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
3404 using the new 'x509' options.
3406 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
3407 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
3408 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
3409 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
3413 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
3414 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
3415 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
3416 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
3417 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
3420 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
3421 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
3422 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
3423 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
3424 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
3425 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
3426 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
3427 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
3428 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
3429 the key length and effective key length are equal.
3432 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
3433 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
3434 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
3435 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
3436 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
3437 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
3438 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
3441 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
3442 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
3443 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
3444 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
3445 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
3446 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
3447 openssl.cnf for more info.
3450 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
3451 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
3452 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
3453 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
3454 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
3455 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
3456 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
3457 md should be large enough anyway.
3460 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
3461 for handling the random seed file.
3463 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
3465 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
3468 x509 (when signing).
3469 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
3470 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
3471 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
3473 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
3474 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
3475 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
3476 that support '-rand'.
3479 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
3480 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
3483 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
3484 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
3487 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
3488 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
3489 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
3490 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
3494 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
3495 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
3496 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
3497 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
3500 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
3501 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
3502 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
3503 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
3504 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
3505 print out all the purposes.
3508 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
3512 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
3513 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
3514 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
3515 single function call.
3518 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
3519 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
3522 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
3523 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
3524 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
3527 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
3528 when producing the local key id.
3529 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3531 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
3532 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
3533 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
3537 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
3538 a public key to be input or output. For example:
3539 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
3540 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
3543 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
3544 in the message. This was handled by allowing
3545 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
3546 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
3548 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
3549 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
3550 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
3551 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3553 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
3554 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
3555 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
3556 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
3557 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
3558 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
3559 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
3560 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
3561 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
3562 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
3563 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
3564 trivial: move one line.
3565 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
3567 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
3568 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
3569 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
3570 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
3571 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
3572 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
3573 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
3574 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
3575 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
3576 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
3577 with an event loop for example.
3580 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
3581 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
3582 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
3583 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
3584 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
3585 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
3586 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
3587 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
3588 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
3591 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
3592 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
3593 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
3594 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
3595 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
3596 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
3599 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
3600 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
3601 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
3602 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
3604 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
3605 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
3606 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
3607 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
3611 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
3612 (still largely untested)
3615 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
3616 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
3619 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
3620 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
3623 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
3624 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
3625 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
3628 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
3629 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
3630 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
3631 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
3632 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
3635 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
3638 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
3639 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
3640 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
3641 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
3642 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
3646 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
3647 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
3650 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
3653 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
3654 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
3655 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
3656 are otherwise ignored at present.
3659 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
3660 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
3661 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
3662 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
3663 copied until the next read.
3666 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
3667 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
3668 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
3671 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
3672 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
3673 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
3674 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
3675 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
3676 associated functions.
3679 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
3680 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
3681 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
3682 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
3683 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
3684 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
3685 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
3686 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
3687 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
3691 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
3692 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
3693 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
3694 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
3697 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
3698 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
3699 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
3700 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
3701 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
3705 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
3706 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
3710 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
3711 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
3712 extensions to be obtained and added.
3715 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
3716 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
3719 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
3721 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
3722 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3724 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
3725 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
3727 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
3731 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
3732 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
3733 DH parameters contain its length).
3735 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
3736 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
3737 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
3738 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
3739 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
3740 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
3741 utter importance to use
3742 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3744 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3745 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
3746 attacks may become possible!
3749 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
3752 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
3753 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
3756 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
3757 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
3758 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
3762 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
3763 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
3764 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
3765 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
3766 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
3767 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
3768 private key operations.
3771 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
3774 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
3775 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
3777 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
3778 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
3779 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
3780 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
3781 the password callback is called.
3782 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
3784 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
3786 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
3787 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
3788 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
3789 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
3790 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
3791 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
3794 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
3795 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
3796 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
3797 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
3798 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
3799 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
3802 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
3805 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
3806 delete an unused file.
3809 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
3810 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
3811 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
3812 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
3815 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
3816 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
3817 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
3821 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
3822 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
3823 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3825 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
3826 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
3827 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
3828 comparison" warnings.
3829 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
3832 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
3833 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
3834 derived keys are printed to stderr.
3837 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
3838 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
3840 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
3841 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
3843 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
3844 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
3845 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
3847 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
3848 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
3849 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
3850 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
3851 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
3853 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
3855 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
3856 The interface is as follows:
3857 Applications can use
3858 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
3859 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
3860 "off" is now the default.
3861 The library internally uses
3862 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
3863 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
3864 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
3866 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
3867 even the default) are now avoided.
3869 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
3870 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
3871 than just having a counter.
3873 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
3875 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
3879 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
3880 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
3881 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
3882 Initial "mode" flags are:
3884 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
3885 a single record has been written.
3886 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
3887 retries use the same buffer location.
3888 (But all of the contents must be
3892 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
3895 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
3896 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
3898 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
3899 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
3900 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
3903 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
3904 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
3906 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
3908 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
3909 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
3910 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
3911 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
3913 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
3914 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
3916 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
3917 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
3918 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
3919 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
3920 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
3921 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
3924 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
3925 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
3926 necessary function names.
3929 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
3930 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
3931 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
3932 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
3935 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
3936 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
3937 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
3940 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
3941 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
3942 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
3943 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
3945 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
3949 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
3950 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
3951 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
3954 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
3955 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
3959 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
3960 for the encoded length.
3961 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
3963 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
3966 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
3967 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
3968 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
3969 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
3972 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
3973 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
3974 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3976 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
3977 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
3978 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
3982 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
3983 to use the new extension code.
3986 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
3987 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
3988 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
3992 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
3993 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
3994 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
3998 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
4001 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
4002 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
4003 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
4006 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
4007 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
4008 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
4009 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
4012 *) DES library cleanups.
4015 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
4016 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
4017 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
4018 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
4019 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
4023 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
4024 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
4027 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
4028 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
4029 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
4030 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
4031 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
4032 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
4033 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
4034 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
4035 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
4038 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
4039 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
4040 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
4041 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
4042 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
4043 value doesn't matter.
4046 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
4050 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
4051 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
4052 "linux-sparc" configuration.
4053 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
4055 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
4058 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
4059 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
4060 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4062 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
4063 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4065 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
4068 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
4071 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
4074 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
4078 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
4080 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
4082 *) Updated some demos.
4083 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
4085 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
4088 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
4091 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
4094 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
4095 instead of using a fixed path.
4098 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
4101 *) Improvements for VMS support.
4105 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
4107 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
4108 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
4109 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4111 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
4112 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
4113 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
4114 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
4115 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
4116 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
4117 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
4118 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
4119 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
4120 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
4123 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
4124 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
4127 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
4128 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
4129 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
4130 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
4131 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
4133 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
4136 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
4137 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
4138 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
4141 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
4144 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
4145 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
4146 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
4147 key elements as negative integers.
4150 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
4151 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4154 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
4156 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
4157 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
4158 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
4161 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
4162 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
4163 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
4164 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
4165 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
4168 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
4171 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
4172 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
4173 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
4174 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4176 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
4177 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
4178 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
4180 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
4181 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
4182 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
4183 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
4184 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
4185 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
4186 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
4187 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
4188 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
4190 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
4191 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
4192 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
4193 does not influence s as it used to.
4195 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
4196 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
4197 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
4198 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
4199 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
4200 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
4203 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
4204 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
4205 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
4209 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
4210 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
4211 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
4215 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
4216 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
4217 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
4221 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
4222 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
4225 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
4226 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4231 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
4232 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4234 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
4235 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4237 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
4240 *) Update HPUX configuration.
4243 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
4244 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4246 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
4247 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
4248 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
4252 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
4253 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
4254 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
4255 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
4256 now it really counts the depth.
4259 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
4260 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
4261 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
4262 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
4263 didn't match the private key).
4265 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
4266 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
4267 connection using the SSL_CTX).
4270 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
4273 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
4277 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
4278 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
4279 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
4282 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
4285 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
4286 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
4287 such as /usr/local/bin.
4290 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
4291 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4293 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
4296 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
4297 extension adding in x509 utility.
4300 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
4303 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
4307 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
4310 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
4311 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
4312 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
4313 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
4314 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
4315 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
4316 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
4317 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
4318 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
4319 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
4322 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
4325 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
4326 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
4329 *) Fix some race conditions.
4332 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
4333 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
4336 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
4339 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
4340 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
4341 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
4342 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
4344 *) Fix lots of warnings.
4345 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4347 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
4348 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
4349 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4351 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
4352 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4354 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
4357 *) Fix typos in error codes.
4358 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
4360 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
4363 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
4364 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4366 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
4367 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
4370 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
4371 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
4374 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
4375 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
4378 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
4379 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
4382 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
4383 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
4386 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
4387 support typesafe stack.
4390 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
4391 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
4393 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
4394 old X509V3 handling code.
4397 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
4400 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
4403 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
4406 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
4407 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
4409 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
4410 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
4411 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
4412 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
4413 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
4416 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
4417 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
4418 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
4419 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
4420 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
4422 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
4423 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
4424 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
4425 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4427 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
4428 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
4429 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
4430 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4432 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
4433 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
4434 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
4435 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
4436 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
4437 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
4440 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
4441 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
4444 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
4445 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
4448 *) Tweaks to Configure
4449 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4451 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
4455 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
4458 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
4459 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
4462 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
4463 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
4464 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
4467 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
4470 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
4471 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
4474 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
4475 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
4476 to library startup routines.
4479 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
4480 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
4481 codes along the way.
4484 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
4485 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
4486 objects to objects.h
4489 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
4490 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
4493 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
4494 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
4496 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
4497 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
4498 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
4500 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
4501 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4502 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4504 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
4505 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
4506 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
4509 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
4511 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
4512 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
4515 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
4516 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
4517 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
4518 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
4519 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
4521 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
4522 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
4523 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
4525 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4527 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
4529 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
4531 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
4532 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4534 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
4535 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
4536 if someone would make that last step automatic.
4537 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
4539 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
4542 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
4543 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
4544 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
4545 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
4548 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
4549 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
4550 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
4553 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
4554 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
4555 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
4556 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
4557 installed as `perl').
4558 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4560 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
4561 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4563 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
4564 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
4565 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
4566 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
4567 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
4570 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
4573 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
4574 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
4575 is horrible: I feel ill....
4578 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
4579 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
4580 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
4581 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
4584 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
4585 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4587 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
4588 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
4589 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
4590 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4592 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
4593 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
4594 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
4595 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
4596 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
4597 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
4599 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4601 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
4602 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4604 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
4605 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
4607 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
4610 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
4611 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
4615 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
4616 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
4617 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
4618 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
4619 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
4620 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
4621 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
4622 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
4623 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
4624 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
4625 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4627 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
4630 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
4631 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
4632 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
4633 for linking it into DSOs.
4634 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4636 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
4640 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
4641 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
4642 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
4643 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
4644 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
4645 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4647 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
4648 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
4649 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
4650 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
4651 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
4652 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
4653 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4655 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
4656 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
4657 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
4661 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
4662 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
4663 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
4664 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
4667 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
4668 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
4669 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
4670 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
4671 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
4675 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
4676 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
4677 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
4678 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
4679 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4681 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
4682 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
4683 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4685 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
4686 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4688 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
4689 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
4690 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
4691 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
4692 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
4695 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
4696 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
4697 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
4698 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
4699 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
4700 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
4701 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
4704 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
4706 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
4707 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
4710 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
4711 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
4713 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
4714 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
4717 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
4718 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
4719 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
4720 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
4721 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
4723 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
4724 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
4725 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
4726 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
4727 no way to reconfigure them.
4728 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
4729 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
4730 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
4731 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
4732 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
4733 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4735 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
4736 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
4737 recognized by the users.
4738 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4740 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
4741 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
4742 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
4743 already masked variable.
4744 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4746 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
4747 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4749 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
4750 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
4751 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
4752 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4754 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
4755 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
4756 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4758 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
4759 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
4760 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
4761 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
4762 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
4763 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
4764 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
4765 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
4767 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4769 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
4770 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
4771 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4773 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
4774 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
4778 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
4779 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4781 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
4782 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
4783 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
4784 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
4787 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
4790 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
4791 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4793 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
4796 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
4797 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
4800 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
4801 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
4804 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
4805 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
4806 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
4807 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
4808 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
4809 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
4810 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
4813 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
4814 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4816 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
4817 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
4818 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
4819 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
4820 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4822 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
4823 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
4824 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
4827 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
4828 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
4832 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
4833 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
4834 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4836 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
4837 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
4838 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
4842 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
4843 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
4844 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
4845 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
4848 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
4849 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
4850 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
4851 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
4854 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
4855 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
4856 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
4857 so it wasn't spotted.
4858 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
4860 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
4861 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
4862 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
4863 vectors if you have them.
4866 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
4867 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
4870 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
4871 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
4872 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
4873 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
4875 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
4876 it will update them.
4879 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
4880 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
4881 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
4882 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
4883 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
4884 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
4885 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
4886 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4888 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
4889 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
4890 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
4891 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
4892 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
4893 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
4894 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
4895 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
4896 the crypto/md/ stuff).
4897 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4899 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
4900 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
4901 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
4902 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
4903 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
4906 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
4910 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
4911 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4913 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
4914 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4916 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
4917 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
4920 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
4921 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
4923 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
4924 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
4926 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
4929 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
4933 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
4934 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
4935 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
4936 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4938 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
4941 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
4944 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
4947 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
4948 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
4951 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
4952 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
4956 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
4957 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
4960 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
4961 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
4962 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
4965 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
4966 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
4967 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
4968 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
4969 properly to be processed.
4972 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
4973 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
4974 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
4977 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
4978 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
4980 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
4981 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
4982 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
4983 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
4984 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
4985 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
4986 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
4987 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
4988 or delete all the .err files.
4991 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
4992 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
4993 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
4994 to regenerate it if needed.
4995 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
4996 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
4998 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
4999 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5001 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
5002 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
5003 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
5004 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
5005 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
5008 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
5009 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5011 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
5012 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5014 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
5015 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
5016 error, but didn't set one).
5017 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5019 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
5022 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
5023 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
5026 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
5027 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
5029 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
5030 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
5031 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
5032 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
5033 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
5034 OID is not part of the table.
5037 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
5038 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
5041 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
5044 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
5045 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
5049 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
5050 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
5052 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
5054 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5056 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
5057 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5059 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
5060 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5062 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
5063 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5065 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
5066 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
5069 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
5070 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
5073 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
5074 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5076 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
5077 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5079 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
5080 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5082 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
5083 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5085 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
5086 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
5087 unused in the certificate verification process.
5088 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5090 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
5091 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
5094 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
5095 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
5096 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
5098 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
5099 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
5100 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
5101 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
5102 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
5104 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
5105 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
5108 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
5111 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
5114 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
5115 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
5117 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
5120 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
5123 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
5126 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
5127 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
5128 other error libraries.
5131 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
5134 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
5135 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
5139 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
5140 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
5141 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
5142 the new set of documenation files.
5143 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5145 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
5146 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
5147 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
5148 number of arguments.
5149 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
5151 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
5154 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
5155 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
5156 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5158 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
5161 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
5165 unixware-2.0-pentium
5169 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
5170 before they are needed.
5173 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
5177 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
5179 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
5180 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
5181 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5183 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
5186 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
5187 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
5188 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5190 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
5191 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
5192 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
5194 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
5195 when "ssleay" is still not found.
5196 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5198 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
5199 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
5201 *) Updated the README file.
5202 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5204 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
5205 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
5206 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5208 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
5209 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
5210 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5212 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
5213 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
5214 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
5215 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
5216 o removed obsolete TODO file
5217 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
5218 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5220 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
5221 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
5222 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

5225 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
5226 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5228 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
5231 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
5232 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
5233 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
5235 [The OpenSSL Project]
5238 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
5240 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
5243 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
5246 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
5247 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
5250 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
5251 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
5255 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
5257 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
5259 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
5262 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
5265 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
5268 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
5271 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
5274 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
5277 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
5280 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
5283 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
5286 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
5289 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
5292 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
5295 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
5298 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
5301 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
5304 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
5307 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
5310 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
5311 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
5312 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5315 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
5316 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
5319 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
5322 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
5325 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
5326 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
5329 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
5332 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
5335 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
5336 bytes sent in the client random.
