5 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2000]
7 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
8 to the algorithm using long divison. The binary algorithm can be
9 used only if the modulus is odd. It is faster only for relatively
10 small moduli (roughly 20% for 128-bit moduli, roughly 5% for 256-bit
11 moduli), so we use it only for moduli up to 400 bits.
14 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
18 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
19 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
21 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
22 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
23 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
24 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
28 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
29 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
32 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
33 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
34 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
35 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
38 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
39 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
43 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
44 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
45 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
46 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
49 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
52 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
55 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
56 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
57 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
58 (but broken) behaviour.
61 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
63 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
65 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
66 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
69 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
70 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
71 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
72 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
73 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
74 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
75 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
78 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
79 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
82 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication
83 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally
84 including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP.
85 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
86 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
90 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
92 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
93 operations and provides various method functions that can also
94 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
96 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
97 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
99 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
100 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
101 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
103 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
106 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
107 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
109 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
111 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
112 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
113 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
116 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
117 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
120 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
121 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
122 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
123 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
124 is 40 of more characters long.
127 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
128 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
132 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
136 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
137 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
139 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
140 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
143 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
144 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
148 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
150 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
151 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
154 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
156 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
157 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
158 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
160 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
161 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
163 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
166 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
170 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
171 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
172 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
173 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
175 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
177 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
178 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
180 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
183 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
184 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
185 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
186 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
187 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
188 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
190 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
191 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
193 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
194 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
196 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
197 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
199 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
200 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
201 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
202 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
204 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
205 header file everywere where the defined globals are used.
207 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
208 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bt different.
210 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
211 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
212 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
213 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
214 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
217 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
218 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
219 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
221 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
222 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
223 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
224 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
227 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
228 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
229 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
233 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
234 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
235 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
236 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
237 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock innacuracy. Instead
238 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
239 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
240 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
244 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
245 OID rather that just UNKOWN.
248 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
249 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
250 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
253 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
254 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
255 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
256 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
259 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
260 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
261 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
262 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
263 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
264 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
265 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
266 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
267 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
268 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
271 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
272 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
273 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
274 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
275 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
276 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
277 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
278 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
280 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse prprocessor conditionals
281 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
282 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
283 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
286 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
287 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
290 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
291 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
292 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
293 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
295 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
296 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
297 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
298 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
299 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
303 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
304 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
305 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
306 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
310 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
311 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
313 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
315 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
317 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
318 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
319 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
320 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
323 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
324 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
325 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
328 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
331 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
332 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
333 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
334 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
335 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
338 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
341 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
342 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
343 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
345 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
346 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
347 option to ocsp utility.
350 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
351 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
352 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
353 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
354 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
355 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
356 the request is nonce-less.
359 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
360 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
361 but the code is actually correct.
364 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
365 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
366 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
369 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
370 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
371 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
374 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
375 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
376 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
377 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
380 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
381 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
385 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
386 additional certificates supplied.
389 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
390 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
394 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
395 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
396 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
397 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
398 and leaves the highest bit random.
399 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
401 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
402 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
403 AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
404 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
405 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
407 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
408 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
409 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
410 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
411 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
412 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
413 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
416 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
419 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
423 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
424 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
425 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
426 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
427 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
428 reponse and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
429 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
430 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
431 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
432 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
433 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
436 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
437 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
438 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests tha public_key
439 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
442 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
443 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
446 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
447 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
448 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
449 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
453 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
454 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
456 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
457 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
458 reponse then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
461 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
465 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
466 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
467 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
468 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
469 <support@securenetterm.com>]
471 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
472 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
473 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
476 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
477 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
478 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
479 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
480 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
483 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
484 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
486 *) ./config script fixes.
487 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
489 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
490 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
491 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
492 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
493 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
494 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
495 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
496 <support@securenetterm.com>]
498 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
499 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
500 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
501 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
502 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
503 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
506 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
509 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
510 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
511 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
512 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
513 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
514 printout format cleaned up.
517 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
518 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
519 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
520 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
521 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
522 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
523 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
524 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
527 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
528 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
529 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
530 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
531 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
532 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
533 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
534 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
537 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
538 extensions from a separate configuration file.
539 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
540 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
542 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
544 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
545 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
546 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
547 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
548 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
550 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
551 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
552 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
553 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
556 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
557 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
558 the given serial number (according to the index file).
559 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
561 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
563 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
564 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
565 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
566 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
568 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
569 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
571 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
572 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
573 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
576 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
577 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
578 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
581 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
582 call failed, free the DSA structure.
585 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
586 file name and line number information in additional arguments
587 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
588 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
589 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
590 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
591 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
592 functions are provided:
594 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
595 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
596 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
597 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
599 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
600 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
601 extended allocation function is enabled.
602 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
603 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
604 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
606 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
607 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
610 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
611 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
612 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
613 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
614 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
617 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
618 If an EGD or PRNGD is running and enough entropy is returned, automatic
619 seeding like with /dev/[u]random will be performed.
620 Positions tried are: /etc/entropy, /var/run/egd-pool.
623 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
624 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
625 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
626 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
627 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
628 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
629 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
630 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
631 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
634 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
635 provide utility functions which an application needing
636 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
637 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
638 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
640 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
641 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
642 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
643 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
644 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
645 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
646 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
647 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
648 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
650 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
651 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
652 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
653 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
656 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
657 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
658 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
659 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
660 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
661 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
662 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
663 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
664 will be added elsewhere.
667 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
668 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
669 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
670 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
673 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
674 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
675 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
676 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
677 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
678 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
679 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
680 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
681 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
682 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
683 to produce the required SET OF.
686 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
687 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
688 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
691 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
692 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
693 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
694 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
695 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
696 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
699 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
700 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
701 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
704 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
705 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
706 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
709 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
710 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
711 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
712 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
713 code will still work when these eventually go away.
716 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
717 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
720 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
721 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
722 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
723 certifcates and CRLs.
726 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
727 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
728 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
731 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
732 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
733 when writing a 32767 byte record.
734 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
736 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
737 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
739 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
740 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
741 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
742 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
743 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
745 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
746 entries for variables.
749 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
752 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
753 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
754 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
755 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
758 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
759 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
760 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
761 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
762 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
763 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
766 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
767 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
769 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
770 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
771 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
774 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
778 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
779 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
780 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
781 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
782 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
783 order did not reflect the encoded order.
786 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
789 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
790 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
791 for now but they will eventually go away.
794 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
795 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
796 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
797 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
798 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
799 has also been converted to the new form.
802 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
803 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
804 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
808 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
809 of not touching the result's sign bit.
812 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
816 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
817 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
818 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
819 type-specific callbacks.
822 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
825 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
827 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
828 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
830 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
833 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
836 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
837 in sections depending on the subject.
840 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
844 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
845 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
846 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
847 be handled deterministically).
848 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
850 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
851 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
854 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
855 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
856 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
857 result of the server certificate verification.)
860 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
861 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
862 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
865 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
866 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
867 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
871 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
872 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
873 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
874 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
875 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
876 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
877 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
878 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
881 *) New function BN_kronecker.
884 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
885 positive unless both parameters are zero.
886 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
887 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
888 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
891 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
892 sign of the number in question.
894 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
896 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
897 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
898 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
899 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
900 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
903 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
904 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
905 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
906 happening the other way round.
909 *) New function BN_swap.
912 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
913 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
914 results on negative inputs.
917 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
918 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
919 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
922 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
923 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
924 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
925 and add new functions:
938 These functions always generate non-negative results.
940 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
941 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
943 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
944 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
946 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
948 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
949 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
950 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
951 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
952 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
953 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
957 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
958 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
959 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
960 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
961 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
963 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
964 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
965 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
969 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
972 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
973 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
976 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
977 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
980 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
981 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
982 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
983 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
987 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
990 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
993 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
994 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
995 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
996 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
999 *) Add the following functions:
1001 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1003 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1005 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1007 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1008 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1009 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1010 libraries unless it's really needed.
1012 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1013 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1014 declarations (they differed!).
1017 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1020 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1023 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1026 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1027 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1030 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
1031 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
1033 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1034 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1035 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1037 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
1039 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
1041 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1042 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1045 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1048 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1051 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1054 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1055 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1056 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1058 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1059 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1060 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1061 different shared library filenames on each system.
1064 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1067 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
1070 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1071 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1072 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1074 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1077 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1078 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1079 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1080 binary backward compatibility.
1081 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1082 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1083 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1087 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
1088 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
1090 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
1092 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
1093 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
1094 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
1097 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
1099 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
1101 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
1105 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1106 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1107 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1108 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1112 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1115 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1116 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1117 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1118 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1122 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1125 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
1127 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
1128 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
1129 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
1130 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
1131 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
1133 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
1134 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
1138 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
1141 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
1143 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
1144 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
1145 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
1146 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
1147 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
1148 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
1149 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
1150 by the Finished messages.
1153 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
1154 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
1156 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
1157 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
1158 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
1159 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
1160 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
1164 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
1165 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
1166 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
1167 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
1168 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
1169 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
1170 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
1171 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
1172 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
1176 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
1177 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
1178 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
1179 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
1181 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
1182 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
1183 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
1184 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
1185 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
1188 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
1189 been tested well enough.
1192 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
1193 it can return incorrect results.
1194 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
1195 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
1198 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
1199 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
1200 include zero length content when signing messages.
1203 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
1204 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
1207 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
1210 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
1214 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
1215 packages. The default package contains applications, application
1216 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
1217 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
1218 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
1219 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
1222 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
1223 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
1225 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
1226 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
1228 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
1229 random number < q in the DSA library.
1232 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
1233 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
1234 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
1235 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
1236 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
1237 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
1238 just makes things more complicated.)
1241 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
1245 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
1246 work better on such systems.
1247 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
1249 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
1250 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
1251 keyid to the certificates aux info.
1254 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
1255 if there was more than one signature.
1256 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
1258 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
1259 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
1260 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
1261 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
1264 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
1265 rather than always using the current time.
1268 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
1269 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
1270 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
1271 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
1272 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
1273 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
1275 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
1276 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
1278 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
1280 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
1281 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
1282 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
1283 the same hash value.
1285 As a result various functions (which were all internal
1286 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
1287 structure. This will break anything that messed round
1288 with X509_STORE internally.
1290 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
1291 exact match, rather than just subject name.
1293 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
1294 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
1295 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
1296 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
1297 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
1298 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
1299 entirely (maybe later...).
1301 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
1303 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
1304 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
1305 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
1306 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
1307 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
1308 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
1309 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
1310 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
1312 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
1313 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1315 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
1316 to customise the verify behaviour.
1319 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
1320 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
1323 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
1324 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
1325 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
1326 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
1327 request is improperly encoded.
1330 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
1331 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
1334 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
1335 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
1337 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
1338 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
1342 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
1343 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
1344 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
1347 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
1348 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
1349 BIO/fp routines also added.
1352 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
1353 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
1355 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
1356 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
1357 demos/state_machine.
1360 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
1361 generation and verification.
1364 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
1365 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
1366 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
1367 encode and decode it manually.
1370 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
1372 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
1374 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
1375 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
1376 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
1377 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
1379 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
1380 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
1381 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
1382 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
1383 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
1386 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
1389 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
1390 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
1391 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
1393 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
1394 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
1395 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
1396 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
1397 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
1398 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
1399 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
1400 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
1402 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
1403 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
1405 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
1407 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
1408 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
1409 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
1413 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
1414 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
1415 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
1416 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
1420 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
1422 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
1425 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
1426 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
1427 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
1428 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
1429 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
1430 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
1431 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
1432 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
1433 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
1434 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
1435 short or long names are found.
1438 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
1439 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
1441 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
1442 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
1443 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
1444 version rollback attacks was not effective.
1446 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
1447 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
1448 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
1449 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
1452 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
1453 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
1454 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
1457 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
1458 these print out strings and name structures based on various
1459 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
1460 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
1461 to allow the various flags to be set.
1464 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
1465 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
1466 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
1467 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
1468 dates to be checked.
1471 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
1472 negative public key encodings) on by default,
1473 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
1476 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
1477 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
1478 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
1481 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
1482 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
1485 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
1486 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
1487 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
1488 are always statically linked for now, but there are
1489 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
1490 This has been tested on Linux and True64.
1493 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
1494 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
1498 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
1502 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
1503 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
1504 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
1505 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
1506 form signing output easier to verify.
1509 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
1512 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
1513 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
1514 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
1515 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
1516 are needed because all other string types have virtually
1517 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
1518 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
1519 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
1520 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
1521 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
1524 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
1526 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
1527 the syntax given in objects.README.
1528 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
1530 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
1533 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
1534 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
1535 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
1536 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
1537 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
1538 consistent name changes.
1541 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
1544 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
1545 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
1546 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
1547 environment variable, or the default random state file.
1550 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
1551 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
1552 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
1556 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
1557 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
1558 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
1559 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
1562 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
1563 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
1564 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
1565 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
1566 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
1567 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
1568 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
1569 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
1570 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
1571 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
1572 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
1575 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
1576 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
1577 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
1578 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
1579 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
1580 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
1581 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
1582 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
1583 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
1584 algorithm to openssl-dev.
1587 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
1588 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
1589 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
1590 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
1592 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
1593 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
1594 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
1595 omit any duplicate addresses.
1598 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
1599 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
1602 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
1603 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
1604 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
1605 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
1606 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
1609 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
1611 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
1612 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
1613 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
1614 Free => OPENSSL_free
1617 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
1618 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
1621 *) CygWin32 support.
1622 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
1624 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
1625 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
1626 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
1627 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
1628 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
1632 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
1633 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
1634 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
1635 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
1636 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
1637 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
1638 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
1641 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
1642 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
1643 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
1644 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
1645 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
1646 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
1647 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
1648 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
1649 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
1650 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
1651 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
1654 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
1655 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
1656 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
1657 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
1658 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
1660 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
1661 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
1662 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
1663 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
1664 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
1666 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
1669 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
1670 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
1671 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
1672 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
1674 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
1676 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
1679 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
1680 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
1681 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
1684 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
1685 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
1686 any installed hardware versions can.
1689 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
1690 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
1691 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
1695 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
1696 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
1697 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
1698 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
1699 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
1701 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
1702 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
1705 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
1706 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
1709 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
1710 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
1711 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
1715 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
1718 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
1719 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
1720 but no ssl client purpose.
1721 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
1723 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
1724 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
1725 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
1726 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
1727 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
1728 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
1729 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
1730 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
1731 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
1732 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
1733 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
1736 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
1737 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
1738 be obtained from the error queue.
1741 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
1742 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
1743 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
1744 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
1747 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
1750 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
1751 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
1752 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
1753 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
1754 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
1757 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
1758 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
1759 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
1760 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
1761 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
1764 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
1765 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
1766 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
1768 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
1770 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
1771 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
1772 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
1773 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
1774 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
1775 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
1776 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
1777 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
1778 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
1779 or "the configuration storage API"...
1781 The new configuration file reading functions are:
1783 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
1784 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
1786 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
1788 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
1790 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
1791 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
1792 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
1793 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
1794 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
1795 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
1796 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
1798 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
1799 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
1802 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
1803 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
1804 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
1805 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
1808 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
1809 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
1810 them in a portable way.
1811 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
1813 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
1815 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
1817 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
1818 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
1820 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
1821 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
1822 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
1825 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
1826 was larger than the MD block size.
1827 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
1829 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
1830 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
1831 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
1832 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
1836 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
1837 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
1838 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
1840 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
1842 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
1844 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
1845 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
1846 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
1847 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
1848 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
1849 Additional arguments are always ignored.
1851 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
1852 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
1854 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
1855 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
1858 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
1861 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
1862 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
1864 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
1865 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
1866 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
1867 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
1870 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
1871 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
1872 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
1873 does not suppress any output.
1876 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
1877 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
1878 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
1879 with all the associated security issues.
1881 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
1882 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
1883 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
1884 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
1885 use the value in the default purpose.
1888 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
1889 and fix a memory leak.
1892 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
1893 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
1894 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
1895 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
1898 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
1899 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
1900 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
1901 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
1904 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
1905 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
1906 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
1909 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
1910 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
1913 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
1914 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
1918 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
1919 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
1922 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
1923 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
1924 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
1927 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
1928 number generation fails.
1931 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
1934 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
1935 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
1937 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
1940 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
1941 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
1943 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
1944 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
1946 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
1948 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
1949 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
1952 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
1953 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
1955 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
1956 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
1959 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
1960 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
1961 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
1962 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
1963 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
1964 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
1966 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
1967 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
1968 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
1972 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
1973 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
1974 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
1975 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
1976 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
1977 counter, some don't.)
1978 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
1979 counters or duplicate objects.
1982 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
1983 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
1986 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
1987 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
1988 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
1990 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
1991 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
1992 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
1996 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
1997 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
2000 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
2001 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
2002 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
2006 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
2007 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
2008 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
2011 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
2012 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
2013 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
2014 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
2015 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
2016 should work without changes.
2019 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
2020 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
2021 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
2022 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
2023 must be defined. E.g.,
2024 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
2025 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
2026 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
2027 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
2029 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
2033 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
2034 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
2035 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
2038 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
2039 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
2040 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
2041 request header lines. Some software needs this.
2044 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
2045 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
2046 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
2047 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
2048 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
2049 is prompted for as usual.
2052 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
2053 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
2054 autodetect the card and use it if present.
2055 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
2057 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
2058 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
2059 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
2060 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
2063 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
2066 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
2070 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
2073 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
2076 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
2080 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
2083 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
2086 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
2087 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
2090 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
2091 options to produce them.
2094 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
2095 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
2098 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
2102 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
2103 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
2104 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
2105 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
2106 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
2107 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
2108 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
2111 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
2114 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
2115 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
2116 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
2119 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
2120 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
2122 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
2123 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
2126 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
2127 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
2128 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
2132 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
2133 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
2135 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
2136 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
2137 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
2138 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
2139 generation becomes much faster.
2141 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
2142 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
2143 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
2144 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
2145 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
2146 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
2147 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
2148 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
2149 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
2150 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
2153 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
2154 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
2155 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
2156 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
2157 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
2158 trial division stage.
2161 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
2165 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
2168 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
2171 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
2172 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
2173 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
2177 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
2178 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
2179 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
2182 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
2183 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
2184 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
2185 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2187 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
2188 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
2191 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
2194 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
2195 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
2196 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
2197 Rabin-Miller iterations.
2200 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
2201 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
2202 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
2205 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
2206 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
2207 (instead of parameters) in future.
2210 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
2211 when a new cipher list is set.
2214 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
2215 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
2218 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
2219 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
2220 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
2222 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
2223 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
2224 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
2225 an error is flagged.
2227 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
2228 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
2229 the readability was also increased :-)
2230 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2232 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
2233 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
2234 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
2235 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
2239 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
2240 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
2243 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
2244 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
2245 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
2246 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
2249 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
2250 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
2251 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
2252 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
2253 because they handle more complex structures.)
2256 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
2257 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
2258 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
2259 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
2261 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
2262 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
2263 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
2264 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
2265 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
2266 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
2267 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
2270 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
2271 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
2272 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
2273 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
2274 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
2277 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
2280 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
2281 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
2282 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
2283 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
2284 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
2287 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
2291 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
2292 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
2293 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
2294 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
2297 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
2300 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
2301 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
2302 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
2303 international characters are used.
2305 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
2306 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
2307 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
2311 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
2312 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
2313 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
2316 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
2317 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
2318 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
2319 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
2320 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
2321 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
2323 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
2324 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
2325 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
2326 be handled by the string table functions.
2328 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
2329 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
2330 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
2331 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
2332 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
2336 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
2337 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
2338 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
2339 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
2340 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
2342 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
2343 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
2344 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
2345 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
2348 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
2349 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
2350 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
2351 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
2352 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
2356 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
2357 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
2358 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
2359 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
2360 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
2361 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
2362 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
2363 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
2365 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
2366 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
2367 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
2370 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
2371 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
2372 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
2373 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
2374 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
2375 support to pkcs8 application.
2378 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
2379 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
2380 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
2381 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
2382 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
2383 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
2386 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
2387 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
2388 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
2389 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
2390 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
2394 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
2395 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
2396 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
2397 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
2401 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
2402 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
2403 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
2404 and any application specific purposes.
2406 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
2407 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
2408 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
2409 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
2410 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
2411 if the certificate is self signed.
2414 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
2415 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
2418 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
2419 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
2420 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
2421 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
2424 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
2425 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
2426 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
2427 Update documentation.
2430 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
2431 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
2432 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
2433 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
2434 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
2437 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
2439 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
2441 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
2442 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
2443 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
2444 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
2445 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
2446 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
2447 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
2448 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
2449 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
2450 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
2452 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
2454 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
2455 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
2456 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
2457 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
2458 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
2460 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
2461 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
2462 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
2463 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
2464 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
2465 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
2466 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
2467 request additional information:
2468 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
2469 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
2471 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
2472 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
2473 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
2476 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
2477 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
2480 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
2483 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
2484 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2486 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
2487 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
2488 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
2492 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
2493 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
2494 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
2496 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
2497 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
2498 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
2499 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
2500 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
2501 included in OpenSSL.
2504 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
2505 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
2506 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
2507 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
2508 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
2509 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
2512 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
2516 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
2517 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
2518 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
2519 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
2520 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
2524 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
2528 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
2529 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
2530 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
2531 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
2532 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
2533 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
2534 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
2535 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
2536 be maintained manually.
2538 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
2539 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
2540 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
2541 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
2542 work because people forget to call this function]
2543 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
2544 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
2545 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
2548 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
2549 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
2550 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
2551 should be discouraged from doing it.
2554 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
2555 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
2556 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
2557 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
2558 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
2559 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
2562 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
2563 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
2564 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
2566 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
2567 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
2568 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
2570 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
2571 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
2572 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
2573 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
2574 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
2575 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
2577 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
2578 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
2579 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
2581 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
2582 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
2585 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
2586 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
2587 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
2588 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
2591 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
2594 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
2595 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
2596 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
2597 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
2598 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
2599 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
2600 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
2601 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
2602 keys so we should be OK.
2604 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
2605 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
2606 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
2607 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
2608 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
2609 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
2610 stay in the name of compatibility.
2612 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
2613 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
2614 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
2616 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
2617 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
2618 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
2619 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
2620 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
2621 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
2625 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
2626 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
2627 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
2628 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
2629 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
2630 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
2631 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
2632 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
2633 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
2634 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
2635 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
2636 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
2637 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
2640 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
2643 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
2644 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
2645 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
2646 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
2647 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
2648 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
2649 single self signed certificate. This means that:
2650 openssl verify ss.pem
2651 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
2652 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
2656 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
2657 (and add it to external session representation).
2658 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
2659 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
2660 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
2661 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
2662 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
2663 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
2665 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
2667 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
2668 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
2669 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
2670 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
2672 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
2673 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
2674 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
2677 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
2678 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
2679 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
2683 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
2684 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
2685 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
2687 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
2688 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
2689 certificate auxiliary information.
2692 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
2696 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
2697 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
2698 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
2699 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
2700 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
2701 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
2702 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
2705 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
2706 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
2709 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
2710 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
2711 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
2712 manpages and fix a few bugs.
2715 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
2718 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
2719 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
2722 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
2723 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
2724 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
2725 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
2726 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
2727 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
2728 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
2729 using the new 'x509' options.
2731 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
2732 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
2733 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
2734 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
2738 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
2739 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
2740 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
2741 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
2742 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
2745 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
2746 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
2747 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
2748 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
2749 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
2750 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
2751 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
2752 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
2753 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
2754 the key length and effective key length are equal.
2757 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
2758 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
2759 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
2760 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
2761 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
2762 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
2763 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
2766 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
2767 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
2768 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
2769 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
2770 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
2771 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
2772 openssl.cnf for more info.
2775 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
2776 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
2777 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
2778 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
2779 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
2780 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
2781 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
2782 md should be large enough anyway.
2785 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
2786 for handling the random seed file.
2788 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
2790 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
2793 x509 (when signing).
2794 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
2795 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
2796 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
2798 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
2799 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
2800 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
2801 that support '-rand'.
2804 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
2805 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
2808 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
2809 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
2812 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
2813 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
2814 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
2815 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
2819 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
2820 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
2821 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
2822 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
2825 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
2826 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
2827 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
2828 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
2829 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
2830 print out all the purposes.
2833 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
2837 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
2838 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
2839 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
2840 single function call.
2843 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
2844 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
2847 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
2848 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
2849 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
2852 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
2853 when producing the local key id.
2854 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
2856 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
2857 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
2858 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
2862 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
2863 a public key to be input or output. For example:
2864 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
2865 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
2868 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
2869 in the message. This was handled by allowing
2870 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
2871 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
2873 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
2874 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
2875 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
2876 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2878 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
2879 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
2880 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
2881 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
2882 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
2883 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
2884 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
2885 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
2886 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
2887 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
2888 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
2889 trivial: move one line.
2890 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
2892 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
2893 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
2894 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
2895 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
2896 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
2897 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
2898 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
2899 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
2900 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
2901 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
2902 with an event loop for example.
2905 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
2906 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
2907 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
2908 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
2909 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
2910 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
2911 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
2912 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
2913 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
2916 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
2917 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
2918 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
2919 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
2920 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
2921 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
2924 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
2925 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
2926 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
2927 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
2929 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
2930 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
2931 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
2932 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
2936 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
2937 (still largely untested)
2940 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
2941 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
2944 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
2945 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
2948 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
2949 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
2950 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
2953 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
2954 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
2955 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
2956 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
2957 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
2960 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
2963 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
2964 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
2965 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
2966 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
2967 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
2971 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
2972 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
2975 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
2978 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
2979 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
2980 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
2981 are otherwise ignored at present.
2984 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
2985 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
2986 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
2987 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
2988 copied until the next read.
2991 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
2992 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
2993 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
2996 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
2997 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
2998 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
2999 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
3000 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
3001 associated functions.
3004 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
3005 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
3006 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
3007 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
3008 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
3009 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
3010 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
3011 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
3012 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
3016 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
3017 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
3018 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
3019 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
3022 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
3023 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
3024 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
3025 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
3026 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
3030 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
3031 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
3035 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
3036 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
3037 extensions to be obtained and added.
3040 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
3041 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
3044 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
3046 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
3047 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3049 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
3050 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
3052 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
3056 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
3057 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
3058 DH parameters contain its length).
3060 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
3061 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
3062 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
3063 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
3064 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
3065 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
3066 utter importance to use
3067 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3069 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3070 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
3071 attacks may become possible!
3074 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
3077 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
3078 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
3081 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
3082 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
3083 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
3087 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
3088 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
3089 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
3090 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
3091 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
3092 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
3093 private key operations.
3096 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
3099 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
3100 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
3102 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
3103 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
3104 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
3105 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
3106 the password callback is called.
3107 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
3109 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
3111 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
3112 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
3113 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
3114 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
3115 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
3116 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
3119 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
3120 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
3121 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
3122 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
3123 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
3124 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
3127 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
3130 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
3131 delete an unused file.
3134 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
3135 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
3136 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
3137 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
3140 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
3141 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
3142 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
3146 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
3147 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
3148 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3150 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
3151 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
3152 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
3153 comparison" warnings.
3154 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
3157 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
3158 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
3159 derived keys are printed to stderr.
3162 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
3163 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
3165 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
3166 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
3168 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
3169 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
3170 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
3172 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
3173 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
3174 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
3175 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
3176 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
3178 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
3180 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
3181 The interface is as follows:
3182 Applications can use
3183 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
3184 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
3185 "off" is now the default.
3186 The library internally uses
3187 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
3188 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
3189 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
3191 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
3192 even the default) are now avoided.
3194 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
3195 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
3196 than just having a counter.
3198 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
3200 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
3204 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
3205 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
3206 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
3207 Initial "mode" flags are:
3209 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
3210 a single record has been written.
3211 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
3212 retries use the same buffer location.
3213 (But all of the contents must be
3217 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_mode ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_mode
3220 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
3221 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
3223 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
3224 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
3225 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
3228 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
3229 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
3231 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
3233 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
3234 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
3235 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
3236 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
3238 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
3239 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
3241 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
3242 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
3243 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
3244 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
3245 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
3246 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
3249 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
3250 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
3251 necessary function names.
3254 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
3255 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
3256 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
3257 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
3260 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
3261 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
3262 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
3265 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
3266 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
3267 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
3268 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
3270 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
3274 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
3275 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
3276 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
3279 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
3280 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
3284 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
3285 for the encoded length.
3286 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
3288 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
3291 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
3292 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
3293 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
3294 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
3297 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
3298 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
3299 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3301 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
3302 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
3303 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
3307 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
3308 to use the new extension code.
3311 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
3312 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
3313 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
3317 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
3318 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
3319 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
3323 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
3326 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
3327 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
3328 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
3331 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
3332 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
3333 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
3334 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
3337 *) DES library cleanups.
3340 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
3341 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
3342 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
3343 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
3344 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
3348 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
3349 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
3352 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
3353 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
3354 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
3355 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
3356 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
3357 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
3358 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
3359 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
3360 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
3363 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
3364 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
3365 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
3366 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
3367 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
3368 value doesn't matter.
3371 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
3375 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
3376 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
3377 "linux-sparc" configuration.
3378 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
3380 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
3383 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
3384 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
3385 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3387 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
3388 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3390 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
3393 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
3396 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
3399 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
3403 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
3405 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
3407 *) Updated some demos.
3408 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
3410 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
3413 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
3416 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
3419 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
3420 instead of using a fixed path.
3423 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
3426 *) Improvements for VMS support.
3430 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
3432 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
3433 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
3434 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3436 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
3437 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
3438 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
3439 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
3440 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
3441 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
3442 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
3443 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
3444 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
3445 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
3448 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
3449 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
3452 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
3453 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
3454 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
3455 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
3456 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
3458 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
3461 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
3462 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
3463 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
3466 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
3469 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
3470 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
3471 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
3472 key elements as negative integers.
3475 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
3476 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3479 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
3481 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
3482 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
3483 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
3486 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
3487 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
3488 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
3489 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
3490 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
3493 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
3496 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
3497 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
3498 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
3499 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3501 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
3502 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
3503 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
3505 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
3506 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
3507 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
3508 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
3509 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
3510 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
3511 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
3512 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
3513 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
3515 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
3516 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
3517 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
3518 does not influence s as it used to.
3520 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
3521 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
3522 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
3523 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
3524 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
3525 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
3528 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
3529 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
3530 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
3534 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
3535 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
3536 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
3540 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
3541 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
3542 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
3546 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
3547 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
3550 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
3551 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3556 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
3557 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3559 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
3560 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3562 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
3565 *) Update HPUX configuration.
3568 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
3569 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3571 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
3572 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
3573 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
3577 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
3578 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
3579 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
3580 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
3581 now it really counts the depth.
3584 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
3585 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
3586 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
3587 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
3588 didn't match the private key).
3590 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
3591 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
3592 connection using the SSL_CTX).
3595 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
3598 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
3602 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
3603 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
3604 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
3607 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
3610 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
3611 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
3612 such as /usr/local/bin.
3615 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
3616 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
3618 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
3621 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
3622 extension adding in x509 utility.
3625 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
3628 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
3632 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
3635 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
3636 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
3637 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
3638 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
3639 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
3640 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
3641 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
3642 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
3643 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
3644 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
3647 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
3650 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
3651 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
3654 *) Fix some race conditions.
3657 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
3658 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
3661 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
3664 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
3665 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
3666 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
