5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
7 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
8 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
9 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
12 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
13 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
15 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
16 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
18 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
19 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
26 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
27 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
28 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
29 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
30 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
31 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
33 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
34 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
37 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
38 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
39 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
40 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
41 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
42 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
43 various internal method names.)
45 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
46 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
48 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
49 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
51 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
52 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
54 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
55 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
56 methods are undefined.
58 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
59 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
61 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
62 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
63 length of the modulus.
65 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
66 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
68 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
69 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
71 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
72 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
74 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
75 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
76 used) in the following functions [macros]:
79 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
80 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
81 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
82 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
84 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
85 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
86 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
87 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
89 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
90 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
92 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
93 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
94 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
95 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
96 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
98 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
99 This applies to the following functions:
104 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
105 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
108 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
112 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
117 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
119 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available (selected
120 at compile-time). ...
121 TBD ... OPENSSL_NO_SUN_DIV ... --Bodo
123 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
124 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
126 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
127 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
128 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
130 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
131 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
133 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
134 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
135 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
136 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
137 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
139 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
141 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
142 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
143 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
144 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
145 These control ASN1 encoding details:
146 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
147 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
148 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
149 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
150 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
151 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
152 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
154 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
158 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
159 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
160 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
162 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
163 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
164 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
165 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
172 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
173 EC_POINT_oct2point().
174 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
176 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
177 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
178 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
180 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
181 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
182 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
183 adding different types of curves.
184 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
186 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
187 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
188 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
191 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
192 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
194 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
195 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
196 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
197 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
199 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
201 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
202 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
204 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
205 library. Most notably,
206 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
207 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
208 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
209 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
210 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
211 extracted before the specific public key.
212 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
214 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
215 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. The curves can be obtained from the new
217 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid()
218 EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
219 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
223 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
225 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
227 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
228 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
229 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
230 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
232 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
233 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
234 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
236 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
237 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
238 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
239 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
241 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
242 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
243 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
246 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
247 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
248 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
249 mkdir -p objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
250 cd objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
251 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
252 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
253 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
256 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
257 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
258 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
261 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
262 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
263 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
264 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
265 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
267 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
268 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
270 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
271 error in AES-CFB decryption.
274 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
275 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
276 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
277 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
278 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
279 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
282 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
283 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
284 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
287 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
288 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
291 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
292 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
293 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
294 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
295 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
296 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
297 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
300 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
301 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
302 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
303 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
304 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
305 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
308 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
309 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
310 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
311 declaration has been changed from
314 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
315 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
316 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
317 has been changed into
318 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
320 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
321 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
322 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
324 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
325 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
327 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
328 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
329 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
330 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
331 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
332 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
333 always load it have also been added.
336 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
337 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
338 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
340 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
342 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
343 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
344 because it couldn't be used for anything.
346 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
347 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
348 command line option can be used to specify an
352 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
353 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
356 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
357 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
358 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
361 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
362 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
363 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
364 to work with the new engine framework.
365 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
367 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
368 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
369 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
370 to work with the new engine framework.
373 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
374 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
375 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
377 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
378 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
380 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
381 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
382 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
383 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
385 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
387 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
388 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
390 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
391 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
393 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
394 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
395 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
400 ERR_peek_last_error_line
401 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
405 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
406 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
407 still in the error queue.
408 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
410 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
412 default_algorithms = ALL
413 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
416 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
419 *) New experimental application configuration code.
422 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
423 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
424 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
425 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
427 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
428 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
430 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
431 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
433 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
434 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
437 *) New functions/macros
439 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
440 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
441 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
442 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
444 to request calling a callback function
446 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
447 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
449 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
450 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
451 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
452 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
453 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
454 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
455 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
456 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
457 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
458 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
460 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
461 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
464 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
465 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
466 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
467 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
468 the configuration scripts.
470 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
471 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
472 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
474 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
475 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
477 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
478 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
479 when reusing an existing buffer.
482 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
483 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
486 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
487 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
490 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
491 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
492 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
494 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
496 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
497 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
498 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
499 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
500 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
501 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
504 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
505 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
506 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
507 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
509 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
510 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
511 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
512 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
514 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
515 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
518 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
519 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
520 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
521 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
522 default), and then completely removed.
525 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
526 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
527 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
528 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
529 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
530 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
531 particular extension is supported.
534 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
535 to retain compatibility with existing code.
538 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
539 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
540 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
541 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
542 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
543 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
544 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
545 requires the destination to be valid.
547 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
548 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
551 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
552 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
553 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
556 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
557 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
559 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
560 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
561 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
562 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
563 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
564 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
565 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
566 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
567 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
568 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
569 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
570 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
571 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
572 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
573 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
574 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
575 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
576 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
577 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
581 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
584 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
585 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
586 become part of libeay.num as well.
589 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
590 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
591 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
592 false once a handshake has been completed.
593 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
594 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
595 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
596 client has followed the request.)
599 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
600 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
601 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
602 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
604 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
605 more bits available for options that should not be part of
606 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
609 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
612 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
613 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
614 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
617 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
618 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
621 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
622 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
623 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
624 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
627 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
628 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
629 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
630 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
631 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
632 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
635 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
636 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
637 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
638 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
639 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
640 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
641 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
642 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
645 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
646 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
649 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
652 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
653 md_data void pointer.
656 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
657 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
658 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
659 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
660 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
661 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
664 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
665 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
666 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
667 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
668 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
669 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
670 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
671 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
672 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
673 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
674 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
675 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
676 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
677 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
678 rather than letting it slide.
680 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
681 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
682 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
685 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
686 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
687 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
688 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
689 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
690 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
691 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
692 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
693 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
696 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
697 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
698 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
699 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
700 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
702 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
705 *) Add EVP test program.
708 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
711 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
712 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
713 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
714 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
715 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
718 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
719 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
720 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
721 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
722 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
723 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
724 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
726 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
727 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
728 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
733 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
734 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
735 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
736 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
737 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
741 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
742 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
743 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
744 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
749 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
750 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
752 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
755 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
756 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
757 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
758 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
759 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
760 functions prevents this.
763 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
766 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
770 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
771 revocation information is handled using the text based index
772 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
773 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
774 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
777 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
780 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
781 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
782 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
783 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
785 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
786 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
788 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
789 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
790 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
793 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
794 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
795 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
796 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
799 *) Speed up EVP routines.
802 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

817 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
818 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
820 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
821 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
822 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
823 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
824 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
825 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
828 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
829 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
832 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
833 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
834 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
835 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
837 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
838 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
839 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
840 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
841 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
842 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
846 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
847 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
848 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
849 and interrupts/cancellations.
852 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
853 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
856 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
857 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
858 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
860 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
861 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
865 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
866 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
867 than this minimum value is recommended.
870 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
871 that are easily reachable.
874 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
875 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
877 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
879 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
880 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
881 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
882 needed for static libraries under Win32.
885 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
886 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
887 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
890 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
891 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
892 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
893 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
894 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
895 internally such as S/MIME.
897 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
898 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
899 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
901 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
905 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
906 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
907 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
908 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
910 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
912 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
914 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
915 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
916 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
920 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
921 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
922 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
923 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
924 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
925 a window system and the like.
928 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
929 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
932 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
933 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
934 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
935 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
936 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
937 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
938 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
939 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
940 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
944 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
945 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
949 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
950 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
951 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
952 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
953 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
954 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
955 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
956 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
959 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
960 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
961 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
962 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
963 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
964 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
965 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
966 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
967 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
968 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
969 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
970 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
971 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
972 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
973 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
974 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
975 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
978 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
979 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
980 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
981 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
982 internal engine_int.h header.
985 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
986 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
987 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
988 modify their own ones).
991 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
992 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
993 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
994 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
995 later on via ctrl() commands.
996 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
997 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
998 structural references.
999 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1000 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1001 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1002 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1003 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1004 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1005 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1006 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1007 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1008 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1009 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1010 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1013 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1014 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1015 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1016 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1017 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1018 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1019 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1020 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1023 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1024 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1027 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1028 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1031 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1032 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1033 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1034 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1035 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1036 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1037 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1040 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1041 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1042 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1043 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1044 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1046 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1047 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1051 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1053 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1054 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1055 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1057 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1058 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1060 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1061 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1062 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1064 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1065 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1067 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1068 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1070 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1072 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1073 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1074 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1077 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1078 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1081 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1082 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1083 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1084 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1085 is 40 of more characters long.
1088 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1089 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1093 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1094 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1097 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1098 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1102 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1104 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1105 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1108 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1110 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1111 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1112 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1114 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1115 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1117 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1120 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1124 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1125 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1126 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1127 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1129 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1131 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1132 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1134 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1135 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1136 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1137 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1138 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1139 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1141 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1142 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1144 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1145 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1147 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1148 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1150 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1151 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1152 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1153 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1155 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1156 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1158 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1159 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1161 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1162 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1163 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1164 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1165 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1168 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1169 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1170 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1171 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1174 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1175 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1176 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1180 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1181 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1182 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1183 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1184 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1185 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1186 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1187 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1191 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1192 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1195 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1196 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1197 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1198 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1201 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1202 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1203 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1204 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1205 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1206 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1207 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1208 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1209 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1210 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1213 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1214 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1215 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1216 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1217 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1218 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1219 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1220 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1222 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1223 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1224 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1225 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1228 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1229 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1230 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1231 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1233 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1234 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1235 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1236 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1237 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1241 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1242 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1243 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1244 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1248 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1249 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1250 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1253 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1254 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1255 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1256 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1257 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1260 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1263 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1264 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1265 option to ocsp utility.
1268 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1269 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1270 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1271 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1272 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1273 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1274 the request is nonce-less.
1277 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1278 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1279 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1282 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1283 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1284 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1287 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1288 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1289 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1290 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1291 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1294 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1295 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1299 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1300 additional certificates supplied.
1303 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1304 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1308 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1309 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1312 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1313 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1314 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1315 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1316 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1317 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1318 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1319 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1320 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1322 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1323 request to response.
1326 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1327 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1328 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1329 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1330 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1331 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1332 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1333 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1334 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1335 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1336 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1339 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1340 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1341 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1342 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1345 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1346 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1348 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1349 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1350 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1353 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1354 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1355 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1356 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1357 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1359 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1360 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1361 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1364 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1365 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1366 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1367 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1368 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1369 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1370 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1371 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1373 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1374 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1375 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1376 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1377 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1378 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1381 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1382 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1383 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1384 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1385 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1386 printout format cleaned up.
1389 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1390 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1391 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1392 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1393 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1394 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1395 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1396 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1399 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1400 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1401 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1402 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1403 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1404 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1405 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1406 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1409 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1410 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1411 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1412 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1414 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1416 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1417 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1418 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1419 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1422 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1423 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1424 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1425 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1427 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1429 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1430 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1431 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1432 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1434 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1435 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1437 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1438 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1439 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1442 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1443 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1444 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1447 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1448 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1449 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1450 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1451 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1452 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1453 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1454 functions are provided:
1456 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1457 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1458 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1459 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1461 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1462 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1463 extended allocation function is enabled.
1464 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1465 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1466 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1468 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1469 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1470 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1471 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1472 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1475 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1476 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1477 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1479 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1480 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1481 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1484 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1485 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1486 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1487 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1488 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1489 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1490 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1491 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1492 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1495 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1496 provide utility functions which an application needing
1497 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1498 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1499 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1501 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1502 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1503 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1504 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1505 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1506 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1507 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1508 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1509 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1511 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1512 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1513 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1514 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1517 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1518 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1519 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1520 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1521 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1522 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1523 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1524 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1525 will be added elsewhere.
1528 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1529 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1530 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1531 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1534 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1535 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1536 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1537 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1538 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1539 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1540 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1541 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1542 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1543 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1544 to produce the required SET OF.
1547 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1548 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1549 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1552 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1553 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1554 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1555 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1556 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1557 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1560 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1561 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1562 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1565 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1566 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1567 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1570 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1571 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1572 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1573 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1574 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1577 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1578 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1581 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1582 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1583 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1584 certifcates and CRLs.
1587 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1588 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1589 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1592 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1593 entries for variables.
1596 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1597 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1598 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1599 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1602 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1603 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1604 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1605 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1606 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1607 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1610 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1611 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1613 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1614 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1615 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1618 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1622 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1623 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1624 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1625 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1626 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1627 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1630 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1633 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1634 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1635 for now but they will eventually go away.
1638 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1639 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1640 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1641 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1642 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1643 has also been converted to the new form.
1646 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1647 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1648 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1649 for negative moduli.
1652 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1653 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1656 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1660 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1661 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1662 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1663 type-specific callbacks.
1666 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1668 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1669 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1671 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1672 in sections depending on the subject.
1675 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1679 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1680 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1681 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1682 be handled deterministically).
1683 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1685 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1686 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1687 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1690 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1693 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1694 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1695 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1696 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1697 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1700 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1701 sign of the number in question.
1703 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1705 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1706 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1707 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1708 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1709 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1712 *) New function BN_swap.
1715 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1716 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1717 results on negative inputs.
1720 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1721 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1722 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1725 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1726 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1727 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1728 and add new functions:
1737 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1741 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1743 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1744 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1746 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1747 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1748 be reduced modulo m.
1749 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1751 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1752 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1753 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1754 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1755 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1756 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1760 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1761 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1762 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1763 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1764 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1766 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1767 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1768 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1772 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1775 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1776 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1779 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1780 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1781 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1782 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1786 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1789 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1792 *) Add the following functions:
1794 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1796 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1798 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1800 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1801 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1802 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1803 libraries unless it's really needed.
1805 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1806 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1807 declarations (they differed!).
1810 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1813 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1816 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1819 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1820 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1823 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1824 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1825 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1827 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1828 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1831 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1834 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1837 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1840 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1841 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1842 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1844 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1845 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1846 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1847 different shared library filenames on each system.
1850 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1853 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1854 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1855 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1857 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1860 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1861 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1862 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1863 binary backward compatibility.
1864 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1865 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1866 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1870 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1871 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1872 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1873 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1877 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1880 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1881 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1882 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1883 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1887 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1890 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [XX xxx XXXX]
1892 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
1893 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
1894 assertions could call abort()).
1895 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
1897 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
1899 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1900 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1901 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1903 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1905 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
1906 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
1907 by the selection routines (PR #130).
1910 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
1914 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
1915 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
1916 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
1918 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
1919 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
1920 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
1921 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
1922 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
1926 *) Changes in security patch:
1928 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
1929 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
1930 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
1933 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1934 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1935 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1936 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
1937 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1939 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
1941 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1943 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
1944 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
1945 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
1947 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1948 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1950 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1952 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1953 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
1954 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1956 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
1957 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
1958 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1960 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
1962 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
1963 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
1964 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
1966 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
1967 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1969 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
1970 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
1971 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
1972 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
1973 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
1974 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
1977 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
1978 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
1979 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
1980 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
1983 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
1986 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
1987 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
1988 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
1989 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
1990 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
1991 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1993 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
1994 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
1995 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
1996 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
1997 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2000 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2001 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2002 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2003 BN_generate_prime().)
2005 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2006 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2007 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2011 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2012 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2015 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2016 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2017 when using non-blocking I/O.
2018 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2020 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2021 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2023 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2024 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2027 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2028 configuration for the versions before that.
2029 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2031 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2032 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2033 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2034 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2037 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2038 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2039 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2042 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2046 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2047 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2049 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2050 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2051 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2053 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2054 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2055 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2056 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2057 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2058 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2059 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2062 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2063 using a local variable.
2064 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2066 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2067 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2068 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2070 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2073 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2074 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2076 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2077 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2078 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2080 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2082 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2083 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2084 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2085 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2088 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2092 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2093 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2094 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2095 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2096 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2098 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2099 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2100 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2102 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2103 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2104 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2106 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2107 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2108 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2109 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2111 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2112 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2113 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2115 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2117 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2118 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2120 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2122 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2123 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2124 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2125 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2127 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2128 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2129 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2130 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2132 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2133 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2135 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2136 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2137 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2140 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2141 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2142 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2144 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2146 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2147 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2148 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2149 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2150 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2151 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2152 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2155 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2156 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2157 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2158 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2160 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2161 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2162 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2163 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2164 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2165 the client will at least see that alert.
2168 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2172 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2173 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2174 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2176 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2177 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2178 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2179 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2182 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2183 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2184 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2186 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2187 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2188 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2189 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2190 may leak via logfiles.)
2192 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2193 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2194 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2195 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2199 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2200 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2203 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2204 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2205 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2206 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2207 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2210 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2211 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2213 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2214 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2215 followed by modular reduction.
2216 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2218 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2219 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2222 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2223 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2224 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2225 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2228 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2231 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2232 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2235 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2236 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2237 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2238 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2239 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2240 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2242 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2244 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2245 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2246 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2247 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2248 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2250 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2253 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2254 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2255 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2256 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2257 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2258 to allow the necessary settings.
2261 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2262 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2263 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2264 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2267 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2268 dh->length and always used
2270 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2272 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2273 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2274 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2275 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2276 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2281 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2283 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2289 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2290 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2291 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2292 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2294 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2295 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2296 always reject numbers >= n.
2299 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2300 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2301 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2302 variable) is not atomic.
2305 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2306 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2307 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
2308 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
2310 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2311 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2313 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2315 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2317 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2320 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2322 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2323 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2324 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2325 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2326 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2327 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2328 to traverse all of 'state'.
2330 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2331 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2332 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2334 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2335 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2337 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2338 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2339 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2340 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2341 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2342 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2343 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2344 further strengthens the PRNG.
2347 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2350 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2351 an error message in this case.
2354 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2357 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2358 positive and less than q.
2361 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2362 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2364 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2366 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2367 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2371 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2373 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2374 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2375 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2376 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2377 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2378 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2379 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2382 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2383 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2384 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2385 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2387 Both problems are now fixed.
2390 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2391 (previously it was 1024).
2394 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2395 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2398 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2401 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2402 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2403 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2406 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2407 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2408 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2409 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2410 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2411 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2412 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2413 environment variables.
2415 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2416 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2417 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2420 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2421 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2422 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2423 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2424 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2425 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2428 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2432 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2434 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2435 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2437 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2438 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2439 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2440 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2444 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2445 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2446 amount of data available.
2447 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2448 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2450 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2451 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2452 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2453 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2456 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2457 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2461 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2462 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2463 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2464 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2467 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2470 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2473 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2474 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2476 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2478 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2479 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2480 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2481 (but broken) behaviour.
2484 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2486 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2488 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2489 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2492 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2496 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2497 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2499 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2502 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2503 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2504 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2506 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2507 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2508 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2511 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2512 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2515 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2516 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2518 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2520 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2522 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2523 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2524 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2525 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2528 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2531 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2532 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2533 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2535 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2538 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2540 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2541 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2542 but the code is actually correct.
2545 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2546 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2547 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2548 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2549 and leaves the highest bit random.
2550 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2552 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2553 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2554 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2555 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2556 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2557 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2558 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2561 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2564 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2565 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2568 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2569 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2570 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2571 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2575 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2576 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2577 and break the signature.
2579 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2581 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2585 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2586 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2587 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2588 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2589 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2592 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2593 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2595 *) ./config script fixes.
2596 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2598 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2601 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2602 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2603 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2604 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2605 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2607 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2608 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2611 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2612 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2615 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2616 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2617 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2618 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2620 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2621 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2623 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2624 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2625 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2626 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2627 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2629 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2632 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2635 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2638 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2641 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2642 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2645 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2646 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2647 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2648 result of the server certificate verification.)
2651 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2652 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2653 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2657 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2658 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2659 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2660 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2661 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2662 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2663 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2664 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2667 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2668 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2669 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2670 happening the other way round.
2673 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2674 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2677 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2678 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2679 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2680 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2683 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2684 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2686 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2688 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2689 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2690 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2693 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2695 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2697 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2701 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2703 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2704 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2705 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2706 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2707 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2709 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2710 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2714 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2717 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2719 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2720 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2721 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2722 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2723 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2724 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2725 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2726 by the Finished messages.
2729 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2730 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2732 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2733 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2734 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2735 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2736 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2740 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2741 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2742 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2743 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2744 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2745 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2746 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2747 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2748 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2752 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2753 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2754 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2755 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2757 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2758 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2759 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2760 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2761 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2764 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2765 been tested well enough.
2768 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2769 it can return incorrect results.
2770 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2771 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2774 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2775 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2776 include zero length content when signing messages.
2779 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2780 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2783 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2786 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2790 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2791 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2792 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2793 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2794 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2795 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2798 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2799 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2801 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2802 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2804 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2805 random number < q in the DSA library.
2808 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2809 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2810 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2811 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2812 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2813 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2814 just makes things more complicated.)
2817 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2821 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2822 work better on such systems.
2823 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2825 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2826 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2827 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2830 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2831 if there was more than one signature.
2832 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2834 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2835 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2836 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2837 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2840 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2841 rather than always using the current time.
2844 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2845 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2846 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2847 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2848 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2849 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2851 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2852 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2854 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2856 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2857 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2858 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2859 the same hash value.
2861 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2862 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2863 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2864 with X509_STORE internally.
2866 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2867 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2869 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2870 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2871 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2872 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2873 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2874 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2875 entirely (maybe later...).
2877 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2879 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2880 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2881 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2882 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2883 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2884 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2885 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2886 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2888 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2889 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2891 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2892 to customise the verify behaviour.
2895 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2896 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2899 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2900 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2901 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2902 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2903 request is improperly encoded.
2906 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2907 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2910 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2911 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2913 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2914 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2918 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2919 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2920 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2923 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2924 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2925 BIO/fp routines also added.
2928 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2929 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2931 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2932 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2933 demos/state_machine.
2936 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2937 generation and verification.
2940 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2941 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2942 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2943 encode and decode it manually.
2946 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2948 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2950 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2951 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2952 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2953 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2955 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2956 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2957 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2958 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2959 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2962 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2965 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2966 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2967 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2969 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2970 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
2971 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
2972 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2973 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2974 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2975 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2976 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
2978 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
2979 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
2981 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
2983 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
2984 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
2985 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
2989 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
2990 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
2991 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
2992 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
2996 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
2998 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3001 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3002 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3003 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3004 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3005 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3006 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3007 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3008 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3009 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3010 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3011 short or long names are found.
3014 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3015 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3017 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3018 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3019 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3020 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3022 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3023 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3024 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3025 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3028 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3029 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3030 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3033 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3034 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3035 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3036 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3037 to allow the various flags to be set.
3040 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3041 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3042 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3043 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3044 dates to be checked.
3047 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3048 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3049 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3052 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3053 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3054 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3057 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3058 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3061 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3062 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3063 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3064 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3065 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3066 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3069 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3070 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3074 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3078 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3079 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3080 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3081 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3082 form signing output easier to verify.
3085 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3088 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3089 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3090 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3091 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3092 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3093 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3094 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3095 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3096 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3097 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3100 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3102 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3103 the syntax given in objects.README.
3104 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3106 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3109 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3110 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3111 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3112 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3113 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3114 consistent name changes.
3117 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3120 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3121 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3122 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3123 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3126 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3127 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3128 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3132 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3133 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3134 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3135 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3138 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3139 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3140 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3141 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3142 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3143 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3144 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3145 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3146 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3147 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3148 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3151 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3152 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3153 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3154 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3155 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3156 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3157 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3158 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3159 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3160 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3163 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3164 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3165 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3166 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3168 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3169 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3170 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3171 omit any duplicate addresses.
3174 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3175 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3178 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3179 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3180 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3181 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3182 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3185 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3187 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3188 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3189 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3190 Free => OPENSSL_free
3193 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3194 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3197 *) CygWin32 support.
3198 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3200 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3201 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3202 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3203 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3204 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3208 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3209 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3210 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3211 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3212 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3213 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3214 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3217 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3218 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3219 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3220 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3221 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3222 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3223 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3224 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3225 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3226 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3227 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3230 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3231 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3232 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3233 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3234 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3236 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3237 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3238 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3239 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3240 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3242 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3245 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3246 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3247 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3248 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3250 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3252 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3255 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3256 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3257 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3260 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3261 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3262 any installed hardware versions can.
3265 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3266 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3267 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3271 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3272 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3273 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3274 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3275 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3277 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3278 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3281 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3282 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3285 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3286 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3287 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3291 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3294 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3295 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3296 but no ssl client purpose.
3297 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3299 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3300 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3301 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3302 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3303 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3304 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3305 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3306 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3307 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3308 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3309 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3312 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3313 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3314 be obtained from the error queue.
3317 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3318 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3319 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3320 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3323 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3326 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3327 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3328 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3329 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3330 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3333 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3334 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3335 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3336 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3337 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3340 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3341 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3342 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3344 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3346 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3347 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3348 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3349 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3350 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3351 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3352 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3353 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3354 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3355 or "the configuration storage API"...
3357 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3359 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3360 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3362 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3364 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3366 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3367 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3368 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3369 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3370 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3371 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3372 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3374 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3375 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3378 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3379 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3380 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3381 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3384 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3385 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3386 them in a portable way.
3387 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3389 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3391 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3393 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3394 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3396 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3397 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3398 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3401 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3402 was larger than the MD block size.
3403 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3405 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3406 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3407 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3408 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3412 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3413 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3414 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3416 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3418 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3420 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3421 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3422 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3423 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3424 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3425 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3427 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3428 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3430 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3431 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3434 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3437 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3438 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3440 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3441 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3442 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3443 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3446 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3447 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3448 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3449 does not suppress any output.
3452 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3453 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3454 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3455 with all the associated security issues.
3457 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3458 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3459 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3460 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3461 use the value in the default purpose.
3464 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3465 and fix a memory leak.
3468 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3469 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3470 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3471 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3474 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3475 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3476 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3477 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3480 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3481 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3482 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3485 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3486 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3489 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3490 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3494 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3495 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3498 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3499 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3500 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3503 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3504 number generation fails.
3507 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3510 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3511 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3513 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3516 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3517 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3519 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3520 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3522 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3524 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3525 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3528 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3529 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3531 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3532 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3535 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3536 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3537 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3538 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3539 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3540 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3542 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3543 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3544 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3548 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3549 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3550 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3551 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3552 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3553 counter, some don't.)
3554 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3555 counters or duplicate objects.
3558 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3559 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3562 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3563 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3564 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3566 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3567 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3568 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3572 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3573 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3576 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3577 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3578 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3582 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3583 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3584 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3587 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3588 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3589 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3590 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3591 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3592 should work without changes.
3595 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3596 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3597 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3598 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3599 must be defined. E.g.,
3600 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3601 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3602 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3603 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3605 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3609 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3610 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3611 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3614 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3615 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3616 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3617 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3620 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3621 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3622 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3623 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3624 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3625 is prompted for as usual.
3628 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3629 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3630 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3631 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3633 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3634 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3635 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3636 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3639 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3642 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3646 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3649 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3652 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3656 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3659 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3662 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3663 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3666 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3667 options to produce them.
3670 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3671 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3674 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3678 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3679 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3680 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3681 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3682 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3683 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3684 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3687 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3690 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3691 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3692 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3695 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3696 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3698 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3699 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3702 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3703 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3704 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3708 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3709 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3711 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3712 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3713 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3714 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3715 generation becomes much faster.
3717 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3718 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3719 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3720 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3721 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3722 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3723 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3724 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3725 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3726 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3729 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3730 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3731 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3732 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3733 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3734 trial division stage.
3737 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3741 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3744 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3747 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3748 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3749 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3753 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3754 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3755 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3758 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3759 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3760 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3761 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3763 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3764 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3767 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3770 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3771 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3772 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3773 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3776 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3777 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3778 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3781 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3782 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3783 (instead of parameters) in future.
3786 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3787 when a new cipher list is set.
3790 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3791 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3794 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3795 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3796 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3798 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3799 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3800 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3801 an error is flagged.
3803 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3804 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3805 the readability was also increased :-)
3806 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3808 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3809 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3810 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3811 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3815 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3816 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3819 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3820 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3821 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3822 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3825 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3826 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3827 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3828 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3829 because they handle more complex structures.)
3832 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3833 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3834 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3835 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3837 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3838 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3839 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3840 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3841 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3842 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3843 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3846 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3847 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3848 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3849 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3850 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3853 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3856 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3857 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3858 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3859 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3860 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3863 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3867 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3868 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3869 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3870 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3873 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3876 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3877 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3878 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3879 international characters are used.
3881 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3882 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3883 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3887 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3888 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3889 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3892 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3893 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3894 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3895 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3896 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3897 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3899 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3900 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3901 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3902 be handled by the string table functions.
3904 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3905 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3906 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3907 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3908 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3912 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3913 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3914 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3915 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3916 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3918 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3919 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3920 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3921 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3924 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3925 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3926 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3927 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3928 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3932 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3933 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3934 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3935 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3936 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3937 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3938 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3939 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3941 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3942 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3943 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3946 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3947 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3948 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3949 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3950 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3951 support to pkcs8 application.
3954 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3955 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3956 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3957 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3958 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3959 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
3962 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
3963 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
3964 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
3965 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
3966 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
3970 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
3971 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
3972 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
3973 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
3977 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
3978 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
3979 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
3980 and any application specific purposes.
3982 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
3983 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
3984 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
3985 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
3986 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
3987 if the certificate is self signed.
3990 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
3991 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
3994 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
3995 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
3996 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
3997 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4000 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4001 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4002 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4003 Update documentation.
4006 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4007 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4008 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4009 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4010 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4013 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4015 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4017 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4018 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4019 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4020 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4021 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4022 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4023 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4024 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4025 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4026 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4028 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4030 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4031 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4032 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4033 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4034 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4036 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4037 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4038 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4039 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4040 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4041 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4042 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4043 request additional information:
4044 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4045 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4047 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4048 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4049 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4052 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4053 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4056 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4059 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4060 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4062 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4063 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4064 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4068 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4069 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4070 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4072 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4073 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4074 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4075 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4076 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4077 included in OpenSSL.
4080 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4081 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4082 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4083 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4084 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4085 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4088 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4092 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4093 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4094 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4095 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4096 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4100 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4104 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4105 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4106 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4107 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4108 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4109 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4110 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4111 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4112 be maintained manually.
4114 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4115 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4116 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4117 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4118 work because people forget to call this function]
4119 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4120 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4121 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4124 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4125 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4126 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4127 should be discouraged from doing it.
4130 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4131 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4132 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4133 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4134 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4135 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4138 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4139 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4140 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4142 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4143 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4144 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4146 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4147 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4148 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4149 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4150 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4151 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4153 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4154 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4155 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4157 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4158 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4161 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4162 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4163 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4164 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4167 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4170 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4171 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4172 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4173 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4174 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4175 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4176 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4177 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4178 keys so we should be OK.
4180 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4181 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4182 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4183 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4184 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4185 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4186 stay in the name of compatibility.
4188 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4189 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4190 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4192 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4193 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4194 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4195 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4196 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4197 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4201 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4202 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4203 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4204 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4205 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4206 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4207 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4208 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4209 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4210 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4211 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4212 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4213 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4216 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4219 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4220 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4221 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4222 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4223 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4224 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4225 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4226 openssl verify ss.pem
4227 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4228 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4232 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4233 (and add it to external session representation).
4234 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4235 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4236 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4237 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4238 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4239 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4241 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4243 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4244 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4245 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4246 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4248 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4249 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4250 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4253 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4254 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4255 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4259 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4260 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4261 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4263 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4264 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4265 certificate auxiliary information.
4268 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4272 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4273 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4274 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4275 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4276 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4277 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4278 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4281 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4282 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4285 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4286 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4287 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4288 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4291 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4294 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4295 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4298 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4299 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4300 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4301 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4302 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4303 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4304 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4305 using the new 'x509' options.
4307 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4308 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4309 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4310 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
4314 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
4315 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4316 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4317 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4318 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4321 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4322 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4323 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4324 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4325 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4326 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4327 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4328 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4329 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4330 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4333 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4334 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4335 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4336 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4337 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4338 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
