5 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
8 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
9 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
13 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
14 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
15 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
18 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
19 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
20 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
21 will never use XTS mode.
24 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
25 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
26 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
27 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
28 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
29 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
32 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
33 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
34 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
35 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
38 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
39 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
40 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
44 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
46 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
49 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
52 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
53 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
56 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
57 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
60 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
61 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
64 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
65 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
66 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
67 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
68 and rename any affected symbols.
71 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
72 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
75 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
76 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
77 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
80 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
83 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
84 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
85 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
88 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
89 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
92 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
93 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
94 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
95 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
96 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
97 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
101 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
102 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
103 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
104 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
105 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
106 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
107 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
108 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
111 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
112 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
115 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
117 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
118 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
120 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
121 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
122 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
123 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
124 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
125 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
127 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
128 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
129 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
131 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
133 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
134 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
135 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
137 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
139 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
140 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
141 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
144 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_diff to find the difference in days
145 and seconds between two tm structures. This will be used to provide
146 additional functionality for ASN1_TIME.
149 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
150 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
154 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
155 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
156 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
159 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
160 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
161 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
162 the appropriate parameters.
165 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
166 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
167 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
168 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
169 against a number of sample certificates.
172 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
173 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
175 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
176 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
178 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
179 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
183 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
184 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
187 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
188 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
189 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
190 setting is used: whether to trust or reject.
193 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
197 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
198 Add CMAC pkey methods.
201 *) Experiemental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
202 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
203 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
206 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
207 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
208 multi-process servers.
211 *) Experiemental password based recipient info support for CMS library:
212 implementing RFC3211.
215 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
216 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
217 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
221 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
222 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
223 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
224 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
225 RAND_METHOD structure.
228 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
229 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
230 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
231 whose return value is often ignored.
234 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
236 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
239 *) Add EC_GFp_nistp224_method(), a 64-bit optimized implementation for
240 elliptic curve NIST-P224 with constant-time single point multiplication on
241 typical inputs. EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use this
242 (while EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently won't and prefers the more
243 flexible implementations).
245 The implementation requires support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t,
246 and so is disabled by default. To include this in your build of OpenSSL,
247 use -DEC_NISTP224_64_GCC_128 on the Configure (or config) command line,
248 and run "make depend" (or "make update").
249 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
251 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
252 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
253 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
255 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
256 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
257 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
260 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
261 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
263 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
264 a few changes are required:
266 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
268 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
269 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
270 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
273 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
275 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
276 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
278 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
279 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
283 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
285 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
286 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
287 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
290 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
291 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
292 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
295 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
297 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
298 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
299 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
302 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
306 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
308 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
310 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
312 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
314 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
315 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
316 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
319 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
322 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
323 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
324 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
326 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
327 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
328 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
331 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
332 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
335 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
336 some responders need this.
339 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
341 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
343 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
344 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
345 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
348 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
351 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
352 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
353 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
354 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
355 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
356 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
357 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
358 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
361 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
362 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
363 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
364 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
366 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
367 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
369 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
373 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
374 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
375 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
376 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
377 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
378 attempting to work them out.
381 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
382 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
383 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
384 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
387 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
388 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
389 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
390 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
391 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
394 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
395 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
402 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
404 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
408 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
409 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
411 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
412 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
414 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
415 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
416 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
417 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
418 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
421 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
422 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
423 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
426 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
427 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
430 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
431 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
433 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
434 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
437 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
440 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
441 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
442 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
446 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
447 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
448 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
449 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
450 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
451 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
454 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
455 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
457 This work was sponsored by Google.
460 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
461 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
462 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
463 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
464 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
465 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
466 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
469 This work was sponsored by Google.
472 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
474 This work was sponsored by Google.
477 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
478 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
479 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
480 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
482 This work was sponsored by Google.
485 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
486 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
487 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
488 CRL functionality in future.
490 This work was sponsored by Google.
493 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
495 This work was sponsored by Google.
498 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
499 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
501 This work was sponsored by Google.
504 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
505 and URI types are currently supported.
507 This work was sponsored by Google.
510 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
511 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
512 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
513 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
514 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
515 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
516 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
517 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
519 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
520 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
521 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
523 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
524 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
525 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
526 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
528 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
529 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
530 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
531 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
532 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
533 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
534 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
535 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
537 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
539 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
540 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
541 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
543 This work was sponsored by Google.
546 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
549 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
550 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
551 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
554 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
555 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
558 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
559 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
562 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
563 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
564 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
565 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
566 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
567 content types and variants.
570 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
573 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
574 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
575 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
576 files from the associated perl scripts.
579 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
580 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
581 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
583 *) s390x assembler pack.
586 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
590 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
591 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
592 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
593 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
594 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
595 to use. For example, specify an option
597 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
599 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
600 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
601 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
602 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
603 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
604 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
606 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
607 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
608 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
609 return non-zero for success.
611 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
614 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
615 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
619 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
622 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
623 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
624 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
625 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
626 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
627 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
628 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
629 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
630 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
632 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
633 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
634 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
635 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
636 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
637 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
639 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
640 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
641 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
642 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
643 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
644 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
648 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
651 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
653 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
654 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
655 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
658 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
659 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
662 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
663 protection in servers so again support should be possible
664 with no application modification.
666 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
667 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
669 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
670 or server extensions to be examined.
672 This work was sponsored by Google.
675 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
676 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
677 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
679 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
680 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
682 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
684 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
685 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
686 to output in BER and PEM format.
689 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
690 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
691 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
692 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
693 -macopt options to dgst utility.
696 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
697 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
698 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
702 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
703 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
704 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
705 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
706 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
707 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
708 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
709 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
712 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
713 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
714 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
715 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
717 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
718 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
719 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
723 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
724 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
725 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
726 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
727 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
728 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
729 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
730 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
731 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
733 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
734 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
735 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
736 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
737 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
738 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
739 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
740 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
741 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
742 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
743 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
746 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
747 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
748 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
750 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
751 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
755 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
756 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
757 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
760 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
761 it yet and it is largely untested.
764 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
767 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
768 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
769 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
772 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
775 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
776 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
777 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
778 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
781 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
782 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
783 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
784 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
785 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
788 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
789 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
792 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
793 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
794 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
795 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
798 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
799 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
800 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
801 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
804 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
805 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
808 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
809 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
810 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
811 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
814 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
815 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
816 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
819 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
823 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
824 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
827 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
828 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
829 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
833 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
834 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
835 to free up any added signature OIDs.
838 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
839 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
840 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
841 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
844 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
845 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
846 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
847 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
848 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
849 the array representation useful in a more general context.
852 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
853 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
854 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
855 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
856 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
858 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
859 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
860 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
861 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
862 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
865 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
866 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
867 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
868 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
870 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
871 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
872 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
873 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
874 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
880 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
881 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
885 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
886 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
889 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
890 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
893 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
894 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
895 functional reference processing.
898 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
899 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
903 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
904 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
905 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
908 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
909 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
910 application to support multiple signers.
913 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
917 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
918 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
919 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
920 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
921 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
924 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
928 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
929 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
930 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
931 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
935 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
936 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
937 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
938 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
939 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
940 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
941 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
942 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
945 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
946 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
947 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
948 between digests and public key types.
951 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
952 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
953 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
954 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
957 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
958 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
962 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
965 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
969 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
970 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
971 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
972 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
977 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
979 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
981 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
983 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
984 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
985 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
986 functionality for RSA.
989 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
990 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
991 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
994 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
995 key API, doesn't do much yet.
998 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
999 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1000 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1003 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1004 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1007 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1008 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1011 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1012 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1016 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1017 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1018 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1022 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1023 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1024 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1025 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1026 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1027 of public and private key structures.
1030 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1031 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1034 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1035 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1036 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1039 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1043 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1044 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1045 SSL_get_psk_identity
1046 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1048 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1050 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1051 and response verification functionality.
1052 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1054 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1055 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1056 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1057 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1058 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1059 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1060 server_name extension.
1062 New functions (subject to change):
1064 SSL_get_servername()
1065 SSL_get_servername_type()
1068 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1070 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1071 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1072 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1073 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1074 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1076 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1078 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1079 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1080 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1081 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1082 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1083 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1086 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1088 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1091 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1092 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1093 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1094 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1095 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1098 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1099 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1103 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1104 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1105 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1106 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1109 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1110 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1111 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1112 using the maximum available value.
1115 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1116 in addition to the text details.
1119 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1120 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1121 handle several customised structures at all.
1124 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1125 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1126 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1129 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1132 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1133 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1134 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1137 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1138 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1139 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1142 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1143 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1147 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1150 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1153 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
1155 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1156 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1158 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1159 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1163 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1165 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1166 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1167 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1170 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1171 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1172 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1175 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1177 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1178 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1179 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1182 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1185 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1186 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1187 some broken encodings work correctly.
1190 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1191 is also one of the inputs.
1192 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1194 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1195 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1196 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
1200 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
1202 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
1205 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
1206 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
1207 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
1209 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
1210 common in certificates and some applications which only call
1211 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
1215 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
1216 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
1217 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
1218 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
1220 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1222 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1223 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1224 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1225 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1226 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1227 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1228 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1229 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1231 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1232 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1233 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1235 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1237 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1238 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1240 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1241 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1244 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1245 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1246 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1249 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1250 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1251 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1252 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1253 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1254 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1257 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1258 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1259 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1262 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1263 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1264 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1265 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1266 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1267 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1271 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1272 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1275 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1276 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1277 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1280 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1283 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1284 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1285 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1286 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1287 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1288 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1289 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1290 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1291 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1294 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1295 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1296 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1299 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1300 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1303 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1304 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1305 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1306 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1307 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1308 know what you are doing.
1309 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1311 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1312 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1313 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1314 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1315 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1316 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1320 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1321 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1322 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1324 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1326 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1327 warnings in other configurations.
1330 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1331 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1332 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1334 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1336 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1337 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1338 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1340 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1341 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1342 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1343 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1346 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1350 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1351 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1353 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1355 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1356 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1357 other than a simple chain.
1358 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1360 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1361 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1362 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1363 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1366 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1367 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1368 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1369 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1370 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1371 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1372 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1373 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1374 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1376 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1377 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1378 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1379 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1380 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1381 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1383 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1385 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1386 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1389 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1390 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1393 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1395 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1397 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1398 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1399 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1400 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1401 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1405 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1407 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1408 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1409 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1410 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1412 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1413 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1414 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1415 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1417 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1418 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1419 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1422 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1423 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1427 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1428 to handle some structures.
1431 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1433 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1435 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1438 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1441 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1444 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1445 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1449 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1451 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1453 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1455 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1458 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1459 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1460 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1461 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1463 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1464 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1466 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1467 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1470 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1471 s_client and s_server.
1474 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1475 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1477 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1478 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1480 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1481 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1482 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1483 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1484 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1487 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1489 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1490 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1493 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1494 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1497 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1498 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1499 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1500 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1502 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1503 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1505 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1507 *) Various precautionary measures:
1509 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1511 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1512 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1513 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1515 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1516 outside the expected range.
1518 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1521 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1523 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1524 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1525 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1527 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1530 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1533 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1535 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1538 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1539 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1540 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1542 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1545 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1546 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1547 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1551 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1553 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1554 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1555 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1556 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1558 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1559 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1562 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1564 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1565 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1566 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1568 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1570 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1571 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1572 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1573 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1576 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1577 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1578 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1579 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1580 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1581 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1582 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1584 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1586 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1587 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1588 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1589 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1590 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1592 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1593 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1595 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1596 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1597 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1598 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1599 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1601 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1603 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1604 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1605 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1606 sets may exist with different names.
1609 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1610 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1611 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1612 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1613 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1614 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1615 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1616 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1617 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1619 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1621 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1622 implemention in the following ways:
1624 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1627 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1628 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1629 ignored for embedded content.
1631 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1632 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1635 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1636 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1637 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1638 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1640 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1641 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1644 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1645 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1648 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1649 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1650 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1651 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1652 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1653 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1657 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1658 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1659 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1663 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1664 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1665 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1666 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1667 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1668 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
1669 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
1670 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
1672 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
1673 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
1674 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1675 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1676 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1677 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1678 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1680 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1681 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1682 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1683 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1684 to s_client and s_server.
1687 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1689 *) Fix various bugs:
1690 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1691 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1692 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1693 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1694 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1696 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1698 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1699 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1700 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1701 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1702 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1703 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1704 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1705 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1708 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1709 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1710 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1713 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1714 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1715 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1718 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1719 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1722 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1723 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1724 with no application modification.
1726 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1727 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1729 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1730 or server extensions to be examined.
1732 This work was sponsored by Google.
1735 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1736 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1737 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1738 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1739 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1740 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1741 server_name extension.
1743 New functions (subject to change):
1745 SSL_get_servername()
1746 SSL_get_servername_type()
1749 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1751 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1752 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1753 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1754 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1755 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1757 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1759 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1760 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1761 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1762 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1763 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1764 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1767 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1769 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1772 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1775 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1776 (which previously caused an internal error).
1779 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1782 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1783 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1785 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1786 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1787 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1789 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1790 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1791 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1792 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1794 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1795 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1796 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1797 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1799 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1800 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1801 information. For detailed background information, see
1802 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1803 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1804 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1805 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1806 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1807 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1808 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1809 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1810 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1811 remove a conditional branch.
1813 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1814 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1815 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1816 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1817 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1818 remains as a deprecated alias.
1820 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1821 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1822 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1823 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1825 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1826 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1827 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1828 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1829 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1830 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1831 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1832 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1834 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1836 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1837 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1838 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1839 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1840 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1841 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1842 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1843 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1844 in a different context.
1847 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1848 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1849 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1852 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1853 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1854 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1856 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1858 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1859 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1860 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1861 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1862 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1865 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1866 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1867 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1868 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1869 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1870 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1873 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1874 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1875 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1876 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1877 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1880 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1881 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1883 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1884 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1885 Improve header file function name parsing.
1888 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1889 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1892 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1894 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1895 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1896 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1898 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1899 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1901 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1902 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1904 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1905 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1906 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1908 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1909 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1910 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1911 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1912 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1913 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1914 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1915 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1916 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1918 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1919 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1920 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1921 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1922 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1924 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1925 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1926 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1927 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1928 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1929 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1930 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1931 multiple values to extend the available space.
1935 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1937 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1938 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1940 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1943 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1944 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1945 undesirable limitations.
1946 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1948 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1949 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1950 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1951 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1952 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1953 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1954 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1957 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1959 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1960 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1961 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1963 The latter two were purportedly from
1964 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1967 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1968 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1969 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1972 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1973 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1976 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1977 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1978 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1979 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1981 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1982 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1983 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1986 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1987 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1988 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1989 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1990 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1991 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1994 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1996 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1997 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2000 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2001 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2003 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2004 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2005 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2006 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2009 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2010 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2013 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2014 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2015 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2016 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2017 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2018 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2019 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2023 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2024 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2025 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2026 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2029 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2030 under VC++ build system.
2033 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2034 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2037 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2039 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2040 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2041 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2042 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2043 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2045 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2046 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2047 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2049 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2052 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2053 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2056 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2057 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2059 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2062 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2063 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2065 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2066 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2069 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2070 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2074 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2076 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2079 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2082 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2083 key into the same file any more.
2086 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2089 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2090 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2092 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2093 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2096 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2097 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2098 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2099 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2100 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2101 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2103 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2104 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2105 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2108 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2109 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2110 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2111 - add new function for parameter creation
2112 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2113 BN_BLINDING parameters
2114 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2115 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2116 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2120 *) Add support for DTLS.
2121 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2123 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2124 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2127 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2128 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2131 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2132 the apps/openssl applications.
2135 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2136 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2137 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2140 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2141 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2143 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2144 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2146 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2147 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2148 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2149 avoid this algorithm.)
2153 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2154 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2155 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2158 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2159 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2162 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2163 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2164 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2167 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2169 The blank line is mandatory.
2173 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2174 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2178 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2179 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2181 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2182 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2183 to support policy checking and print out.
2186 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2187 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2188 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2189 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2191 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2194 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2195 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2197 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2198 implementation contributed by IBM.
2199 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2201 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2202 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2203 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2204 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2206 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2207 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2209 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2210 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2211 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2212 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2213 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2214 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2217 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2218 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2219 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2220 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2221 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2222 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2223 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2226 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2229 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2230 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2231 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2232 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2233 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2234 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2235 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2236 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2239 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2240 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2241 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2242 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2245 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2248 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2251 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2252 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2253 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2254 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2255 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2256 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2257 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2260 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2261 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2264 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2265 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2266 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2269 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2270 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2271 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2275 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2276 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2279 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2280 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2281 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2282 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2285 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2286 initialised value as BN_new().
2287 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2289 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2292 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2293 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2294 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2295 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2296 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2297 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2298 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2299 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2300 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2301 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2302 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2303 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2304 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2305 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2306 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2308 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2309 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2310 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2311 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2314 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2315 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2316 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2317 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2318 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2319 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2320 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2321 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2322 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2325 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2326 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2327 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2328 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2329 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2330 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2331 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2334 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2335 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2336 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2337 these have been updated also.
2340 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2341 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2342 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2343 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2344 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2348 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2349 structure of type "other".
2352 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2353 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2354 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2355 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2356 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2357 situation in the script.
2358 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2360 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2361 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2362 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2363 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2364 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2365 used as premaster secret.
2366 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2368 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2369 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2370 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2372 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2373 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2375 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2376 control of the error stack.
2379 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2382 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2383 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2384 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2385 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2388 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2389 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2390 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2393 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2394 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2395 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2399 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2400 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2401 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2402 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2405 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2406 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2407 the following flags are defined:
2409 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2410 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2411 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2414 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2415 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2416 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2417 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2421 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2422 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2423 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2424 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2425 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2428 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2429 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2430 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2433 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2434 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2435 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2436 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2437 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2438 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2441 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2445 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2448 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2451 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2454 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2455 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2456 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2457 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2458 default implementation more easily.
2461 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2465 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2466 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2469 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2470 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2471 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2472 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2474 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2475 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2476 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2477 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2480 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2481 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2485 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2486 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2487 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2488 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2489 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2490 scalar * generator).
2491 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2493 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2494 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2495 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2499 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2500 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2501 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2502 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2503 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2504 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2505 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2506 linker additions, eg;
2507 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2510 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2511 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2512 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2515 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2516 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2517 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2521 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2522 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2523 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2524 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2527 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2528 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2529 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2530 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2531 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2532 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2533 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2534 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2535 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2536 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2538 Example for using the new callback interface:
2540 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2544 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2546 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2547 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2548 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2549 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2550 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2551 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2556 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2557 available to TLS with the number defined in
2558 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2561 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2562 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2564 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2565 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2566 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2567 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2569 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2570 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2572 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2573 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2577 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2578 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2581 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2582 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2583 and a macro that behave like
2584 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2586 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2589 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2590 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2591 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2593 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2595 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2598 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2599 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2600 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2601 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2603 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2604 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2605 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2606 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2607 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2608 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2609 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2610 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2612 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2613 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2616 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2617 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2619 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2620 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2621 files while avoiding the low level API.
2623 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2624 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2625 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2626 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2628 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2629 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2630 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2631 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2632 instead of the low level API.
2635 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2636 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2637 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2638 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2639 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2642 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2643 down to the template encoder.
2646 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2647 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2650 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2651 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2652 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2653 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2655 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2656 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2658 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2659 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2661 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2662 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2665 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2666 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2667 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2670 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2671 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2673 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2674 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2676 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2677 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2680 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2684 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2685 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2686 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2687 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2688 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2689 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2691 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2692 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2695 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2696 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2697 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2698 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2699 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2700 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2701 various internal method names.)
2703 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2704 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2706 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2707 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2709 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2710 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2712 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2713 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2714 methods are undefined.
2716 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2717 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2719 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2720 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2721 length of the modulus.
2723 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2724 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2726 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2727 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2729 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2730 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2732 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2733 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2734 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2737 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2738 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2739 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2740 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2742 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2743 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2744 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2745 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2747 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2748 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2750 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2751 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2752 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2753 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2754 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2756 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2757 This applies to the following functions:
2762 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2763 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2765 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2766 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2770 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2775 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2777 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2778 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2779 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2780 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2781 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2783 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2784 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2786 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2787 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2788 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2790 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2791 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2793 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2794 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2795 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2796 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2797 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2799 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2801 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2802 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2803 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2804 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2805 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2806 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2807 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2808 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2809 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2810 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2811 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2812 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2814 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2817 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2818 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2819 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2820 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2822 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2823 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2824 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2825 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2830 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2831 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2832 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2833 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2834 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2836 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2837 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2838 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2839 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2840 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2841 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2842 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2843 adding different types of curves.
2844 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2846 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2847 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2848 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2851 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2852 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2854 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2855 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2856 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2857 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2859 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2861 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2862 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2864 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2865 library. Most notably,
2866 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2867 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2868 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2869 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2870 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2871 extracted before the specific public key;
2872 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2873 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2875 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2876 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2878 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2879 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2880 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2881 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2883 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2884 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2885 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2887 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2888 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2889 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2890 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2891 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2892 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2896 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2898 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2900 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2902 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2903 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2904 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2907 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2908 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2909 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2912 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2915 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2916 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2919 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2920 run algorithm test programs.
2923 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2926 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2927 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2928 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2929 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2930 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2933 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2934 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2937 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2939 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2940 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2941 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2943 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2944 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2946 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2947 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2949 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2950 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2951 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2953 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2954 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2955 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2956 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2957 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2958 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2959 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2962 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2964 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2965 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2967 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2968 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2969 undesirable limitations.
2970 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2972 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2974 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2975 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2976 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2978 The latter two were purportedly from
2979 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2982 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2983 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2984 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2987 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2988 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2991 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2993 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2994 module in FIPS mode.
2997 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3000 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3001 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3002 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3003 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3006 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3008 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3009 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3010 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3011 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3012 the difference induced by this change.
3015 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3017 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3018 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3019 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3020 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3021 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3023 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3024 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3025 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3027 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3028 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3031 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3032 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3033 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3034 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3038 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3039 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3040 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3041 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3042 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3044 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3045 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3046 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3047 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3048 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3049 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3051 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3053 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3054 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3055 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3056 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3057 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3060 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3064 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3065 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3066 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3069 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3070 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3071 structures constant.
3074 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3076 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3079 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3080 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3081 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3082 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3083 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3084 some needed definitions.
3087 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3090 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3091 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3092 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3093 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3096 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3098 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3099 server and client random values. Previously
3100 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3101 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3103 This change has negligible security impact because:
3105 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3108 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3111 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3112 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3115 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3118 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3120 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3123 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3124 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3125 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3127 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3130 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3131 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3134 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3135 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3136 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3138 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3141 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3142 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3143 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3147 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3148 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3149 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3150 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3152 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3153 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3154 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3155 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3159 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3161 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3162 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3163 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3164 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3165 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3168 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3171 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3172 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3174 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3175 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3176 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3177 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3178 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3179 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3180 rather than being initialized to 1.
3183 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3185 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3186 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3187 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3189 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3191 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3193 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3194 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3195 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3196 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3197 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3198 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3201 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3202 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3203 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3204 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3205 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3209 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3210 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3211 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3212 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3213 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3216 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3217 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3218 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3222 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3223 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3225 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3228 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3230 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3232 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3233 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3235 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3237 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3238 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3242 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3243 exiting on the first error in a request.
3246 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3247 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3251 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3252 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3253 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3254 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3256 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3257 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3260 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3261 blocks during encryption.
3264 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3265 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3266 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3267 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3271 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3272 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3273 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3274 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3275 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3279 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3281 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3282 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3283 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3284 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3287 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3288 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3289 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3290 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3291 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3293 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3294 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3295 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3296 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3297 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3298 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3299 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3300 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3301 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3304 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3305 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3306 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3307 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3310 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3311 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3314 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3316 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3317 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3318 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3319 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3320 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3322 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3323 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3324 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3326 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3327 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3328 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3329 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3330 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3332 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3333 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3334 used by default when no-err is given.
3337 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3338 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3340 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3341 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3342 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3343 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3344 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3346 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3347 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3348 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3349 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3351 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3353 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3355 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3357 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3358 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3359 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3360 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3364 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3365 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3367 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3368 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3371 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3372 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3373 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3374 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3377 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3378 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3379 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3380 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3381 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3382 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3383 followup to PR #377.
3386 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3387 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3390 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3391 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3392 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
3393 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
3395 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
3397 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3400 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3401 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3402 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3403 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
3405 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3409 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
3410 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
3414 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3415 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3416 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3417 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3418 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3419 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3421 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3422 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3423 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3424 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3425 have to be made anyway).
3428 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3429 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3430 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3433 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3434 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3435 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3438 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3439 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3440 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3442 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3443 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3444 edit numbers of the version.
3445 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3447 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3448 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
3449 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
3451 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
3452 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3454 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3455 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3456 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3458 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
3459 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3461 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
3462 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3464 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
3465 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3467 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
3468 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3470 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
3472 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3474 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
3475 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
3476 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3478 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
3479 representations in a platform independent manner.
3480 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3482 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3483 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3484 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3486 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
3488 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3490 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
3491 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3493 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
3495 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3497 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
3498 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
3499 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3501 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
3503 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3505 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
3506 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3508 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
3509 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3511 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
3512 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3514 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
3515 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3517 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
3519 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3521 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
3522 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3524 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
3525 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3527 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
3528 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
3530 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3532 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
3533 the 0.9.6 release series:
3535 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3536 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
3538 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3540 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
3543 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3544 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
3546 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3547 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3549 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3550 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3551 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3552 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3554 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3555 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3556 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3558 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3559 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3560 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3561 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3563 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3564 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3565 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3568 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3569 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3570 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3571 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3572 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3573 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3574 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3575 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3578 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3579 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3580 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3583 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3584 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3585 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3586 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3587 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3589 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3590 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3592 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3593 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3596 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3597 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3598 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3599 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3600 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3601 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3604 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3605 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3606 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3609 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3610 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3613 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3614 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3615 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3616 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3617 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3618 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3619 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3622 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3623 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3624 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3625 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3626 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3627 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3630 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3631 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3632 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3633 declaration has been changed from
3636 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3637 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3638 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3639 has been changed into
3640 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3642 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3643 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3644 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3646 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3647 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3649 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3650 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3651 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3652 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3653 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3654 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3655 always load it have also been added.
3658 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3659 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3660 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3662 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3664 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3665 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3666 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3668 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3669 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3670 command line option can be used to specify an
3674 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3675 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3678 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3679 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3680 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3683 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3684 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3685 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3686 to work with the new engine framework.
3687 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3689 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3690 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3691 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3692 to work with the new engine framework.
3695 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3696 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3697 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3699 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3700 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3702 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3703 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3704 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3705 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3707 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3709 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3710 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3712 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3713 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3715 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3716 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3717 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3720 *) Add new functions
3722 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3723 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3724 These are similar to
3727 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3728 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3729 still in the error queue.
3730 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3732 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3734 default_algorithms = ALL
3735 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3738 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3741 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3744 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3745 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3746 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3747 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3749 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3750 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3752 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3753 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3755 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3756 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3759 *) New functions/macros
3761 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3762 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3763 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3764 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3766 to request calling a callback function
3768 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3769 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3771 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3772 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3773 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3774 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3775 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3776 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3777 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3778 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3779 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3780 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3782 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3783 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3786 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3787 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3788 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3789 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3790 the configuration scripts.
3792 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3793 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3794 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3796 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3797 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3799 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3800 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3801 when reusing an existing buffer.
3804 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3805 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3808 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3809 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3812 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3813 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3814 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3815 has the same effect.
3816 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3818 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3819 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3820 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3821 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3822 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3823 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3826 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3827 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3828 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3829 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3831 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3832 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3833 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3834 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3836 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3837 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3840 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3841 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3842 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3843 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3844 default), and then completely removed.
3847 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3848 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3849 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3850 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3851 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3852 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3853 particular extension is supported.
3856 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3857 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3860 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3861 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3862 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3863 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3864 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3865 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3866 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3867 requires the destination to be valid.
3869 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3870 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3873 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3874 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3875 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3878 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3879 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3881 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3882 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3883 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3884 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3885 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3886 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3887 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3888 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3889 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3890 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3891 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3892 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3893 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3894 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3895 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3896 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3897 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3898 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3899 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3903 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3906 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3907 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3908 become part of libeay.num as well.
3911 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3912 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3913 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3914 false once a handshake has been completed.
3915 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3916 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3917 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3918 client has followed the request.)
3921 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3922 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3923 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3924 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3926 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3927 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3928 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3931 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3934 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3935 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3936 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3939 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3940 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3943 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3944 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3945 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3946 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3949 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3950 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3951 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3952 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3953 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3954 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3957 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3958 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3959 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3960 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3961 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3962 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3963 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3964 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3967 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3968 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3971 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3974 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3975 md_data void pointer.
3978 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3979 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3980 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3981 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3982 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3983 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3986 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3987 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3988 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3989 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3990 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3991 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3992 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3993 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3994 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3995 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3996 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3997 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3998 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3999 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4000 rather than letting it slide.
4002 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4003 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4004 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4007 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4008 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4009 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4010 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4011 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4012 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4013 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4014 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4015 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4018 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4019 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4020 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4021 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4022 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4024 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4027 *) Add EVP test program.
4030 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4033 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4034 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4035 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4036 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4037 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4040 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4041 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4042 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4043 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4044 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4045 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4046 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4048 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4049 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4050 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4055 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4056 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4057 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4058 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4059 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4063 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4064 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4065 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4066 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4069 des_key_schedule ks;
4071 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4072 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4074 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4077 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4078 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4079 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4080 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4081 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4082 functions prevents this.
4085 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4088 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4089 correct _ecb suffix.
4092 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4093 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4094 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4095 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4096 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4099 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4102 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4103 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4104 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4105 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4107 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4108 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4110 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4111 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4112 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4113 via Richard Levitte]
4115 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4116 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4117 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4118 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4121 *) Speed up EVP routines.

4139 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4140 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4142 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4143 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4144 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4145 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4146 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4147 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4150 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4151 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4154 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4155 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4156 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4157 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4159 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4160 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4161 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4162 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4163 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4164 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4168 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4169 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4170 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4171 and interrupts/cancellations.
4174 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4175 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4178 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4179 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4180 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4182 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4183 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4187 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4188 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4189 than this minimum value is recommended.
4192 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4193 that are easily reachable.
4196 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4197 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4199 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4201 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4202 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4203 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4204 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4207 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4208 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4209 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4212 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4213 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4214 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4215 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4216 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4217 internally such as S/MIME.
4219 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
4220 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
4221 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
4223 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
4227 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
4228 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
4229 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
4230 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
4232 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4234 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
4236 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
4237 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4238 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4242 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4243 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4244 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4245 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4246 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4247 a window system and the like.
4250 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4251 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4254 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4255 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4256 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4257 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4258 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4259 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4260 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4261 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4262 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4266 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4267 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4271 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4272 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4273 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4274 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4275 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4276 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4277 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4278 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4281 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4282 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4283 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4284 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4285 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4286 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4287 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4288 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4289 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4290 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4291 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4292 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4293 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4294 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4295 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4296 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4297 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4300 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4301 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4302 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4303 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4304 internal engine_int.h header.
4307 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4308 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4309 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4310 modify their own ones).
4313 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4314 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4315 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4316 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4317 later on via ctrl() commands.
4318 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4319 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4320 structural references.
4321 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
4322 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
4323 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
4324 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
4325 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
4326 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
4327 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
4328 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4329 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4330 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4331 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4332 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4335 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4336 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4337 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4338 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4339 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4340 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4341 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4342 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4345 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4346 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4349 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4350 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4353 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4354 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4355 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4356 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4357 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4358 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4359 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4362 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4363 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4364 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4365 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4366 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4368 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4369 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4373 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4375 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4376 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4377 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4379 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4380 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4382 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4383 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4384 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4386 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4387 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4389 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4390 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4392 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4394 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4395 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4396 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4399 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4400 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4403 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4404 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4405 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4406 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4407 is 40 of more characters long.
4410 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4411 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4415 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4416 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4419 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4420 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4424 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4426 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4427 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4430 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4432 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4433 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4434 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4436 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4437 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4439 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4442 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4446 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4447 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4448 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4449 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4451 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4453 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4454 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4456 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4457 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4458 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4459 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4460 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4461 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4463 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4464 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4466 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4467 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4469 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4470 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4472 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4473 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4474 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4475 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4477 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4478 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4480 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4481 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4483 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4484 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4485 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4486 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4487 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4490 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4491 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4492 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4493 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4496 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4497 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4498 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4502 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4503 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4504 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4505 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4506 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4507 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4508 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4509 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4513 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4514 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4517 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4518 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4519 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4520 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4523 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4524 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4525 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4526 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4527 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4528 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4529 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4530 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4531 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4532 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4535 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4536 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4537 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4538 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4539 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4540 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4541 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4542 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4544 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4545 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4546 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4547 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4550 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4551 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4552 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4553 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4555 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4556 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4557 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4558 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4559 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4563 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4564 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4565 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4566 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4570 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4571 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4572 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4575 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4576 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4577 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4578 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4579 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4582 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4585 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4586 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4587 option to ocsp utility.
4590 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4591 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4592 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4593 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4594 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4595 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4596 the request is nonce-less.
4599 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4600 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4601 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4604 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4605 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4606 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4609 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4610 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4611 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4612 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4613 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4616 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4617 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4621 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4622 additional certificates supplied.
4625 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4626 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4630 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4631 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4634 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4635 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4636 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4637 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4638 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4639 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4640 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4641 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4642 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4644 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4645 request to response.
4648 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4649 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4650 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4651 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4652 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4653 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4654 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4655 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4656 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4657 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4658 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4661 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4662 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4663 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4664 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4667 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4668 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4670 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4671 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4672 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4675 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4676 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4677 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4678 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4679 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4681 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4682 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4683 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4686 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4687 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4688 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4689 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4690 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4691 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4692 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4693 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4695 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4696 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4697 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4698 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4699 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4700 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4703 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4704 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4705 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4706 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4707 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4708 printout format cleaned up.
4711 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4712 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4713 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4714 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4715 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4716 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4717 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4718 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4721 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4722 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4723 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4724 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4725 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4726 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4727 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4728 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4731 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4732 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4733 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4734 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4736 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4738 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4739 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4740 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4741 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4744 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4745 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4746 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4747 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4749 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4751 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4752 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4753 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4754 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4756 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4757 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4759 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4760 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4761 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4764 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4765 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4766 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4769 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4770 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4771 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4772 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4773 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4774 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4775 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4776 functions are provided:
4778 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4779 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4780 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4781 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4783 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4784 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4785 extended allocation function is enabled.
4786 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4787 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4788 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4790 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4791 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4792 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4793 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4794 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4797 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4798 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4799 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4801 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4802 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4803 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4806 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4807 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4808 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4809 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4810 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4811 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4812 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4813 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4814 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4817 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4818 provide utility functions which an application needing
4819 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4820 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4821 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4823 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4824 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4825 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4826 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4827 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4828 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4829 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4830 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4831 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4833 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4834 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4835 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4836 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4839 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4840 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4841 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4842 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4843 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4844 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4845 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4846 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4847 will be added elsewhere.
4850 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4851 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4852 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4853 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4856 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4857 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4858 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4859 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4860 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4861 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4862 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4863 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4864 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4865 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4866 to produce the required SET OF.
4869 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4870 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4871 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4874 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4875 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4876 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4877 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4878 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4879 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4882 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4883 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4884 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4887 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4888 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4889 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4892 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4893 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4894 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4895 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4896 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4899 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4900 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4903 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4904 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4905 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4906 certifcates and CRLs.
4909 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4910 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4911 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4914 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4915 entries for variables.
4918 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4919 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4920 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4921 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4924 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4925 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4926 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4927 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4928 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4929 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4932 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4933 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4935 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4936 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4937 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4940 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4944 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4945 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4946 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4947 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4948 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4949 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4952 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4955 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4956 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4957 for now but they will eventually go away.
4960 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4961 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4962 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4963 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4964 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4965 has also been converted to the new form.
4968 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4969 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4970 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4971 for negative moduli.
4974 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4975 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4978 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4982 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4983 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4984 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4985 type-specific callbacks.
4988 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4990 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4991 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4993 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4994 in sections depending on the subject.
4997 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5001 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5002 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5003 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5004 be handled deterministically).
5005 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5007 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5008 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5009 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5012 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5015 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5016 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5017 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5018 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5019 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5022 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5023 sign of the number in question.
5025 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5027 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5028 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5029 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5030 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5031 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5034 *) New function BN_swap.
5037 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5038 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5039 results on negative inputs.
5042 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5043 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5044 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5047 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5048 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5049 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5050 and add new functions:
5059 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5063 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5065 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5066 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5068 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5069 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5070 be reduced modulo m.
5071 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5074 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5075 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5076 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5078 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5079 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5080 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5081 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5082 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5083 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5088 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5089 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5090 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5091 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5092 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5094 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5095 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5096 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5100 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5103 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5104 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5107 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5108 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5109 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5110 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5114 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5117 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5120 *) Add the following functions:
5122 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5124 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5126 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5128 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5129 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5130 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5131 libraries unless it's really needed.
5133 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5134 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5135 declarations (they differed!).
5138 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5141 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5144 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5147 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5148 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5151 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5152 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5153 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5155 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5156 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5159 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5162 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5165 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5168 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5169 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5170 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5172 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5173 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5174 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5175 different shared library filenames on each system.
5178 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5181 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5182 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5183 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5185 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5188 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5189 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5190 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5191 binary backward compatibility.
5192 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5193 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5194 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5198 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5199 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5200 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5201 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5205 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5208 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5209 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5210 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5211 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5215 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5218 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
5220 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5221 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5222 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5224 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
5226 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
5228 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
5229 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
5232 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
5234 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5236 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5237 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5239 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5240 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5244 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5245 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5249 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5250 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5251 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5252 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5254 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5255 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5258 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5260 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5261 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5262 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5263 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5266 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5267 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5268 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5269 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5270 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5272 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5273 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5274 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5275 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5276 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5277 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5278 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5279 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5280 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5283 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5285 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5286 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5287 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5288 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5289 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5291 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5292 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5293 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5295 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5297 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5298 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5299 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5300 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5301 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5302 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5305 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5306 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5307 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5308 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5309 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5312 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5313 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5314 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5316 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5317 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5318 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
5322 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not

5326 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
5327 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
5328 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
5329 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
5331 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
5332 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
5333 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
5334 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
5335 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
5336 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
5337 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
5339 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5341 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5342 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5345 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5346 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5347 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),

5352 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
5354 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5355 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5356 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5357 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5358 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5360 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5361 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5364 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5366 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5367 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5368 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5370 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5372 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5373 and get fix the header length calculation.
5374 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5375 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5378 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5379 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5380 assertions could call abort()).
5381 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5383 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5385 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5386 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5387 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5389 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5391 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5392 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5393 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5396 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5400 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5401 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5402 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5404 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5405 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5406 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5407 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5408 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5412 *) Changes in security patch:
5414 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5415 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5416 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5419 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5420 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5421 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5422 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5423 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5425 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to

5430 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)

5437 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5438 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5439 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5441 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5443 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5444 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5445 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5447 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5448 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5450 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5451 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5452 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5453 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5454 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5455 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5458 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5459 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5460 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5461 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5464 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5467 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5468 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5469 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5470 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5471 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5472 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5474 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5475 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5476 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5477 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5478 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5481 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5482 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5483 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5484 BN_generate_prime().)
5486 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5487 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5488 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5492 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5493 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5496 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5497 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5498 when using non-blocking I/O.
5499 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5501 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5502 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5504 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5505 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5508 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5509 configuration for the versions before that.
5510 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5512 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5513 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5514 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5515 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5518 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5519 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5520 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.

5531 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5532 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5534 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5535 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5536 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5537 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5538 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5539 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5540 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5543 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5544 using a local variable.
5545 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5547 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5548 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5549 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5551 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5554 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5555 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5557 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5558 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5559 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5561 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5563 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5564 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5565 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5566 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5569 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5573 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5574 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5575 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5576 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5577 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5579 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5580 returns early because it has nothing to do.

5583 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5584 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.

5588 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5589 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5590 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5592 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5593 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5594 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5596 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5598 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5599 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5601 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5603 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5604 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5605 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5606 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5608 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5609 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5610 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5611 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5613 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5614 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5616 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5617 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5618 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5621 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5622 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5623 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5625 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5627 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5628 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5629 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5630 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5631 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5632 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5633 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5636 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5637 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5638 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5639 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5641 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5642 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5643 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5644 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5645 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5646 the client will at least see that alert.
5649 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5653 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5654 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5655 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5657 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5658 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5659 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5660 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5663 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5664 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5665 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5667 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5668 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5669 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5670 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5671 may leak via logfiles.)
5673 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5674 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5675 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5676 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5680 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5681 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5684 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5685 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5686 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5687 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5688 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5691 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5692 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5694 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5695 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5696 followed by modular reduction.
5697 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5699 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5700 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5703 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5704 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5705 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5706 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5709 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5712 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5713 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5716 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5717 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5718 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5719 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5720 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5721 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5723 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5725 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5726 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5727 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5728 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5729 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5731 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5734 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5735 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5736 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5737 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5738 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5739 to allow the necessary settings.
5742 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5743 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5744 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5745 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5748 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5749 dh->length and always used
5751 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5753 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5754 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5755 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5756 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5757 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5762 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5764 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5770 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5771 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5772 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5773 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5775 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5776 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5777 always reject numbers >= n.
5780 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5781 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5782 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5783 variable) is not atomic.
5786 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5787 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5788 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5789 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5791 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5792 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5794 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5796 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5798 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5801 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5803 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5804 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5805 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5806 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5807 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5808 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5809 to traverse all of 'state'.
5811 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5812 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5813 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5815 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5816 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5818 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5819 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5820 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5821 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5822 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5823 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5824 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5825 further strengthens the PRNG.
5828 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5831 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5832 an error message in this case.
5835 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5838 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5839 positive and less than q.
5842 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5843 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5845 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5847 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5848 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5852 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5854 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5855 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5856 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5857 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5858 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5859 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5860 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5863 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5864 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5865 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5866 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5868 Both problems are now fixed.
5871 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5872 (previously it was 1024).
5875 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5876 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5879 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5882 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5883 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5884 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5887 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5888 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5889 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5890 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5891 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5892 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5893 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5894 environment variables.
5896 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5897 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5898 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5901 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5902 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5903 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5904 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5905 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5906 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5909 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5913 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5915 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5916 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5918 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5919 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5920 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5921 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5925 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5926 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5927 amount of data available.
5928 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5929 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5931 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5932 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5933 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5934 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5937 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5938 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5942 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5943 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5944 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5945 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5948 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5951 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5954 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5955 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5957 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5959 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5960 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5961 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5962 (but broken) behaviour.
5965 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5967 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5969 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5970 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5973 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5977 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5978 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5980 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5983 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5984 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5985 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5987 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5988 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5989 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5992 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5993 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5996 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5997 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5999 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6001 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6003 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6004 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6005 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6006 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6009 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6012 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6013 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6014 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6016 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6019 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6021 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6022 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6023 but the code is actually correct.
6026 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6027 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6028 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6029 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6030 and leaves the highest bit random.
6031 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6033 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6034 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6035 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6036 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6037 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6038 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6039 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6042 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6045 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6046 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6049 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6050 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6051 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6052 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6056 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6057 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6058 and break the signature.
6060 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6062 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6066 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6067 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6068 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6069 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6070 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6073 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6074 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6076 *) ./config script fixes.
6077 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6079 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6082 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6083 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6084 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6085 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6086 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6088 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6089 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6092 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6093 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6096 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6097 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6098 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6099 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6101 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6102 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6104 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6105 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6106 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6107 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6108 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6110 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6113 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6116 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6119 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6122 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6123 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6126 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6127 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6128 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6129 result of the server certificate verification.)
6132 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6133 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6134 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6138 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6139 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6140 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6141 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6142 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6143 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6144 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6145 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6148 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6149 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6150 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6151 happening the other way round.
6154 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6155 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6158 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6159 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6160 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6161 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6164 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6165 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6167 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6169 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6170 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6171 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6174 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6176 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6178 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6182 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6184 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6185 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6186 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6187 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6188 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6190 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6191 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6195 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6198 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6200 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6201 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6202 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6203 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6204 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6205 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6206 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6207 by the Finished messages.
6210 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6211 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6213 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6214 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6215 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6216 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6217 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
6221 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
6222 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
6223 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
6224 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
6225 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
6226 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
6227 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
6228 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
6229 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
6233 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
6234 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
6235 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
6236 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6238 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6239 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6240 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6241 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6242 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6245 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6246 been tested well enough.
6249 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6250 it can return incorrect results.
6251 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6252 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6255 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6256 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6257 include zero length content when signing messages.
6260 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6261 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6264 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6267 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6271 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6272 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6273 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6274 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6275 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6276 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6279 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6280 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6282 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6283 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6285 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6286 random number < q in the DSA library.
6289 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6290 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6291 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6292 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6293 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6294 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6295 just makes things more complicated.)
6298 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6302 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6303 work better on such systems.
6304 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6306 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6307 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6308 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6311 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6312 if there was more than one signature.
6313 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6315 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6316 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6317 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6318 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6321 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
6322 rather than always using the current time.
6325 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
6326 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
6327 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
6328 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
6329 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
6330 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
6332 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
6333 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
6335 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
6337 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
6338 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
6339 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
6340 the same hash value.
6342 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6343 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6344 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6345 with X509_STORE internally.
6347 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6348 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6350 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6351 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6352 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6353 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6354 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6355 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6356 entirely (maybe later...).
6358 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6360 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6361 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6362 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6363 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6364 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6365 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6366 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6367 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6369 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6370 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6372 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6373 to customise the verify behaviour.
6376 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6377 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6380 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6381 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6382 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6383 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6384 request is improperly encoded.
6387 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6388 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6391 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6392 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6394 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6395 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6399 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6400 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6401 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6404 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6405 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6406 BIO/fp routines also added.
6409 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6410 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6412 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6413 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6414 demos/state_machine.
6417 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6418 generation and verification.
6421 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6422 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6423 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6424 encode and decode it manually.
6427 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6429 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6431 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6432 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6433 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6434 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6436 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6437 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6438 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6439 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6440 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6443 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6446 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6447 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6448 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6450 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6451 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6452 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6453 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6454 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6455 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6456 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6457 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6459 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6460 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6462 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6464 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6465 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6466 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6470 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6471 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6472 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6473 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6477 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6479 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6482 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6483 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6484 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6485 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6486 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6487 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6488 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6489 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6490 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6491 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6492 short or long names are found.
6495 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6496 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6498 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6499 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6500 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6501 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6503 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6504 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6505 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6506 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6509 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6510 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6511 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6514 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6515 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6516 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6517 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6518 to allow the various flags to be set.
6521 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6522 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6523 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6524 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6525 dates to be checked.
6528 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6529 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6530 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6533 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6534 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6535 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6538 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6539 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6542 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6543 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6544 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6545 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6546 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6547 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6550 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6551 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6555 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6559 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6560 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6561 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6562 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6563 form signing output easier to verify.
6566 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6569 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6570 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6571 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6572 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6573 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6574 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6575 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6576 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6577 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6578 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6581 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6583 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6584 the syntax given in objects.README.
6585 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6587 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6590 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6591 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6592 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6593 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6594 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6595 consistent name changes.
6598 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6601 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6602 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6603 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6604 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6607 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6608 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6609 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6613 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6614 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6615 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6616 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6619 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6620 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6621 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6622 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6623 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6624 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6625 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6626 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6627 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6628 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6629 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6632 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6633 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6634 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6635 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6636 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6637 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6638 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6639 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6640 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6641 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6644 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6645 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6646 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6647 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6649 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6650 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6651 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6652 omit any duplicate addresses.
6655 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6656 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6659 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6660 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6661 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6662 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6663 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6666 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6668 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6669 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6670 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6671 Free => OPENSSL_free
6674 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6675 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6678 *) CygWin32 support.
6679 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6681 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6682 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6683 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6684 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6685 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6689 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6690 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6691 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6692 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6693 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6694 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6695 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6698 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6699 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6700 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6701 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6702 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6703 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6704 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6705 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6706 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6707 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6708 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6711 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6712 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6713 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6714 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6715 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6717 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6718 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6719 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6720 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6721 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6723 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6726 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6727 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6728 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6729 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6731 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6733 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6736 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6737 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6738 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6741 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6742 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6743 any installed hardware versions can.
6746 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6747 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6748 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6752 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6753 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6754 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6755 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6756 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6758 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6759 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6762 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6763 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6766 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6767 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6768 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6772 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6775 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6776 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6777 but no ssl client purpose.
6778 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6780 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6781 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6782 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6783 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6784 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6785 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6786 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6787 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6788 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6789 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6790 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6793 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6794 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6795 be obtained from the error queue.
6798 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6799 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6800 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6801 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6804 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6807 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6808 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6809 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6810 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6811 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6814 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6815 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6816 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6817 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6818 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6821 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6822 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6823 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6825 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6827 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6828 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6829 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6830 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6831 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6832 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6833 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6834 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6835 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6836 or "the configuration storage API"...
6838 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6840 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6841 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6843 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6845 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6847 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6848 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6849 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6850 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6851 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6852 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6853 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6855 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6856 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6859 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6860 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6861 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6862 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6865 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6866 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6867 them in a portable way.
6868 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6870 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6872 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6874 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6875 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6877 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6878 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6879 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6882 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6883 was larger than the MD block size.
6884 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6886 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6887 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6888 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6889 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6893 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6894 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6895 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6897 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6899 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6901 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6902 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6903 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6904 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6905 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6906 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6908 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6909 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6911 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6912 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6915 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6918 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6919 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6921 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6922 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6923 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6924 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6927 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6928 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6929 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6930 does not suppress any output.
6933 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6934 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6935 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6936 with all the associated security issues.
6938 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6939 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6940 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6941 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6942 use the value in the default purpose.
6945 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6946 and fix a memory leak.
6949 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6950 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6951 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6952 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6955 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6956 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6957 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6958 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6961 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6962 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6963 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6966 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6967 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6970 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6971 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6975 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6976 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6979 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6980 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6981 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6984 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6985 number generation fails.
6988 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6991 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6992 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6994 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6997 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6998 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7000 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7001 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7003 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7005 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7006 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7009 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7010 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7012 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7013 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7016 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7017 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7018 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7019 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7020 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7021 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7023 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7024 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7025 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7029 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7030 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7031 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7032 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7033 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7034 counter, some don't.)
7035 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7036 counters or duplicate objects.
7039 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7040 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7043 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7044 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7045 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7047 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7048 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7049 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7053 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7054 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7057 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7058 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7059 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7063 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7064 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7065 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7068 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7069 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7070 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7071 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7072 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7073 should work without changes.
7076 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7077 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7078 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7079 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7080 must be defined. E.g.,

7084 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7086 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7090 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7091 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7092 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7095 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7096 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7097 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7098 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7101 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7102 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7103 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7104 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7105 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7106 is prompted for as usual.
7109 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7110 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7111 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7112 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7114 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7115 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7116 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7117 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7120 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7123 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7127 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7130 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7133 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7137 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7140 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7143 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7144 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7147 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7148 options to produce them.
7151 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7152 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7155 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7159 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7160 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7161 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7162 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7163 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7164 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7165 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7168 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7171 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7172 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7173 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7176 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7177 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7179 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7180 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7183 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7184 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7185 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7189 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7190 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7192 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7193 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7194 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7195 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7196 generation becomes much faster.
7198 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7199 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7200 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7201 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7202 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7203 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7204 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7205 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7206 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7207 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7210 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7211 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7212 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7213 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7214 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7215 trial division stage.
7218 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
7222 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
7225 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
7228 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
7229 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
7230 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
7234 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
7235 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
7236 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7239 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7240 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7241 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7242 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7244 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7245 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7248 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7251 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7252 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7253 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7254 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7257 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7258 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7259 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7262 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7263 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7264 (instead of parameters) in future.
7267 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7268 when a new cipher list is set.
7271 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7272 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7275 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7276 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7277 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7279 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7280 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7281 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7282 an error is flagged.
7284 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7285 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7286 the readability was also increased :-)
7287 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7289 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7290 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7291 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7292 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7296 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7297 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7300 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7301 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7302 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7303 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7306 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7307 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7308 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7309 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7310 because they handle more complex structures.)
7313 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7314 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7315 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7316 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7318 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7319 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7320 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7321 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
7322 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
7323 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
7324 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
7327 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
7328 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
7329 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
7330 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
7331 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
7334 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
7337 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
7338 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
7339 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
7340 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7341 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7344 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7348 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7349 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7350 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7351 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7354 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7357 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7358 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7359 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7360 international characters are used.
7362 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7363 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7364 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7368 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7369 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7370 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7373 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7374 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7375 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7376 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7377 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7378 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7380 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7381 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7382 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7383 be handled by the string table functions.
7385 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7386 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7387 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7388 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7389 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7393 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7394 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7395 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7396 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7397 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7399 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7400 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7401 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7402 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7405 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7406 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7407 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7408 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7409 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7413 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7414 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7415 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7416 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7417 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7418 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7419 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7420 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7422 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7423 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7424 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7427 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7428 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7429 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7430 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7431 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7432 support to pkcs8 application.
7435 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7436 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7437 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7438 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7439 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7440 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7443 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7444 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7445 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7446 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7447 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7451 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7452 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7453 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7454 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7458 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7459 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7460 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7461 and any application specific purposes.
7463 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7464 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7465 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7466 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7467 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7468 if the certificate is self signed.
7471 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7472 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7475 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7476 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7477 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7478 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7481 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7482 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7483 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7484 Update documentation.
7487 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7488 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7489 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7490 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7491 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7494 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7496 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7498 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7499 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7500 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7501 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7502 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7503 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7504 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7505 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7506 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7507 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7509 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7511 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7512 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7513 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7514 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7515 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7517 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7518 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7519 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7520 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7521 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7522 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7523 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7524 request additional information:
7525 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7526 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7528 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7529 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7530 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7533 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7534 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7537 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7540 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7541 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7543 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7544 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7545 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7549 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7550 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7551 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7553 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7554 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7555 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7556 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7557 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7558 included in OpenSSL.
7561 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7562 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7563 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7564 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7565 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7566 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7569 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7573 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7574 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7575 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7576 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7577 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7581 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7585 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7586 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7587 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7588 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7589 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7590 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7591 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7592 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7593 be maintained manually.
7595 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7596 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7597 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7598 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7599 work because people forget to call this function]
7600 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7601 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7602 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7605 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7606 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7607 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7608 should be discouraged from doing it.
7611 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7612 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7613 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7614 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7615 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7616 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7619 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7620 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7621 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7623 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7624 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7625 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7627 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7628 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7629 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7630 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7631 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7632 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7634 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7635 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7636 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7638 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7639 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7642 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7643 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7644 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7645 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7648 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7651 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7652 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7653 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7654 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7655 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7656 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7657 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7658 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7659 keys so we should be OK.
7661 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7662 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7663 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7664 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7665 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7666 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7667 stay in the name of compatibility.
7669 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7670 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7671 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7673 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7674 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7675 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7676 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7677 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7678 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7682 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7683 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7684 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7685 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7686 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7687 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7688 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7689 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7690 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7691 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7692 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7693 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7694 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7697 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7700 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7701 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7702 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7703 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7704 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7705 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7706 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7707 openssl verify ss.pem
7708 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7709 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7713 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7714 (and add it to external session representation).
7715 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7716 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7717 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7718 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7719 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7720 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7722 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7724 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7725 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7726 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7727 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7729 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7730 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7731 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7734 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7735 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7736 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7740 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7741 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7742 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7744 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7745 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7746 certificate auxiliary information.
7749 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7753 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7754 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7755 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7756 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7757 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7758 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7759 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7762 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7763 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7766 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7767 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7768 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7769 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7772 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7775 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7776 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7779 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7780 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7781 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7782 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7783 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7784 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7785 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7786 using the new 'x509' options.
7788 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7789 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7790 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7791 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7795 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7796 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7797 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7798 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7799 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7802 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7803 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7804 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7805 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7806 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7807 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7808 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7809 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7810 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7811 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7814 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7815 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7816 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7817 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7818 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7819 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7820 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7823 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7824 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7825 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7826 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7827 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7828 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7829 openssl.cnf for more info.
7832 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7833 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7834 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7835 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7836 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7837 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7838 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7839 md should be large enough anyway.
7842 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7843 for handling the random seed file.
7845 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7847 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7850 x509 (when signing).
7851 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7852 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7853 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7855 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7856 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7857 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7858 that support '-rand'.
7861 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7862 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7865 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7866 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7869 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7870 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7871 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7872 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7876 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7877 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7878 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7879 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7882 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7883 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7884 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7885 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7886 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7887 print out all the purposes.
7890 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7894 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7895 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7896 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7897 single function call.
7900 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7901 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7904 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7905 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7906 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7909 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7910 when producing the local key id.
7911 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7913 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7914 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7915 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7919 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7920 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7921 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7922 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7925 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7926 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7927 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7928 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7930 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7931 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7932 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7933 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7935 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7936 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7937 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7938 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7939 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7940 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7941 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7942 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7943 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7944 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7945 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7946 trivial: move one line.
7947 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7949 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7950 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7951 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7952 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7953 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7954 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7955 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7956 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7957 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7958 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7959 with an event loop for example.
7962 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7963 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7964 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7965 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7966 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7967 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7968 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7969 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7970 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7973 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7974 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7975 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7976 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7977 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7978 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7981 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7982 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7983 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7984 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7986 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7987 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7988 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7989 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7993 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7994 (still largely untested)
7997 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7998 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8001 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8002 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8005 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8006 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8007 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8010 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8011 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8012 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8013 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8014 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8017 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8020 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8021 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8022 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8023 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8024 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8028 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8029 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8032 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8035 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8036 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8037 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8038 are otherwise ignored at present.
8041 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8042 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8043 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8044 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8045 copied until the next read.
8048 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8049 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8050 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8053 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8054 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8055 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8056 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8057 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8058 associated functions.
8061 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8062 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8063 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8064 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8065 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8066 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8067 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8068 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8069 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8073 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8074 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8075 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8076 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8079 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8080 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8081 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8082 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8083 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8087 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8088 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8092 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8093 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8094 extensions to be obtained and added.
8097 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8098 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8101 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8103 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8104 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8106 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8107 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8109 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8113 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8114 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8115 DH parameters contain its length).
8117 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8118 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8119 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8120 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8121 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8122 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8123 utter importance to use
8124 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8126 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8127 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8128 attacks may become possible!
8131 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8134 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8135 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8138 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8139 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8140 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8144 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8145 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8146 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8147 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8148 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8149 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8150 private key operations.
8153 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8156 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8157 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8159 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8160 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8161 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8162 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8163 the password callback is called.
8164 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8166 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8168 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8169 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8170 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8171 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8172 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8173 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8176 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8177 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8178 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8179 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8180 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8181 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8184 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8187 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8188 delete an unused file.
8191 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8192 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8193 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8194 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8197 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8198 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8199 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8203 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8204 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8205 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8207 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8208 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8209 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8210 comparison" warnings.
8211 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8214 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8215 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8216 derived keys are printed to stderr.
8219 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
8220 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
8222 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
8223 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
8225 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
8226 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
8227 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
8229 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
8230 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
8231 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
8232 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
8233 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
8235 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
8237 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8238 The interface is as follows:
8239 Applications can use
8240 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8241 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8242 "off" is now the default.
8243 The library internally uses
8244 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8245 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8246 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8248 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8249 even the default) are now avoided.
8251 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8252 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8253 than just having a counter.
8255 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8257 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8261 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8262 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8263 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8264 Initial "mode" flags are:
8266 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8267 a single record has been written.
8268 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8269 retries use the same buffer location.
8270 (But all of the contents must be
8274 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8277 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8278 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8280 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8281 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8282 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8285 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8286 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8288 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8290 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8291 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8292 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8293 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8295 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8296 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8298 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8299 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8300 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8301 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8302 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8303 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8306 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8307 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8308 necessary function names.
8311 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8312 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8313 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8314 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8317 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8318 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8319 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
8322 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
8323 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
8324 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
8325 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
8327 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
8331 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
8332 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
8333 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
8336 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
8337 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8341 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8342 for the encoded length.
8343 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8345 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8348 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8349 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8350 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8351 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8354 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8355 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8356 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8358 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8359 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8360 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8364 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8365 to use the new extension code.
8368 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8369 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8370 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8374 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8375 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8376 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8380 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8383 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8384 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8385 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8388 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8389 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8390 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8391 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8394 *) DES library cleanups.
8397 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8398 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8399 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8400 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8401 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8405 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8406 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8409 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8410 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8411 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8412 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8413 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8414 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8415 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8416 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8417 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8420 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8421 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8422 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8423 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8424 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8425 value doesn't matter.
8428 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8432 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8433 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8434 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8435 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8437 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8440 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8441 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8442 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8444 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8445 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8447 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8450 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8453 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8456 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8460 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8462 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8464 *) Updated some demos.
8465 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8467 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8470 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8473 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8476 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8477 instead of using a fixed path.
8480 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8483 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8487 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8489 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8490 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8491 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8493 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8494 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8495 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8496 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8497 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8498 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8499 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8500 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8501 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8502 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8505 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8506 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8509 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8510 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8511 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8512 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8513 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8515 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8518 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8519 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8520 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8523 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8526 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8527 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8528 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8529 key elements as negative integers.
8532 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8533 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8536 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8538 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8539 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8540 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8543 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8544 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8545 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8546 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8547 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8550 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8553 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8554 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8555 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8556 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8558 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8559 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8560 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8562 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8563 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8564 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8565 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8566 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8567 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8568 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8569 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8570 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8572 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8573 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8574 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8575 does not influence s as it used to.
8577 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8578 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8579 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8580 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8581 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8582 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8585 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8586 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8587 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8591 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8592 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8593 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8597 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8598 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8599 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8603 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8604 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8607 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8608 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8613 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8614 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8616 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8617 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8619 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8622 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8625 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8626 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8628 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8629 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8630 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8634 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8635 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8636 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8637 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8638 now it really counts the depth.
8641 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8642 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8643 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8644 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8645 didn't match the private key).
8647 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8648 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8649 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8652 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8655 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8659 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8660 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8661 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8664 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8667 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8668 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8669 such as /usr/local/bin.
8672 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8673 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8675 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8678 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8679 extension adding in x509 utility.
8682 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8685 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8689 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8692 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8693 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8694 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8695 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8696 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8697 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8698 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8699 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8700 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8701 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8704 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8707 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8708 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8711 *) Fix some race conditions.
8714 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8715 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8718 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8721 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8722 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8723 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8724 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8726 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8727 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8729 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8730 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8731 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8733 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8734 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8736 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8739 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8740 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8742 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8745 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8746 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8748 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8749 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8752 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8753 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8756 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8757 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8760 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8761 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8764 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8765 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8768 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8769 support typesafe stack.
8772 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8773 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8775 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8776 old X509V3 handling code.
8779 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8782 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8785 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8788 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8789 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8791 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8792 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8793 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8794 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8795 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8798 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8799 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8800 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8801 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8802 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8804 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8805 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8806 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8807 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8809 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8810 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8811 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8812 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8814 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8815 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8816 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8817 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8818 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8819 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8822 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8823 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8826 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8827 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8830 *) Tweaks to Configure
8831 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8833 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8837 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8840 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8841 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8844 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8845 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8846 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8849 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8852 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8853 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8856 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8857 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8858 to library startup routines.
8861 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8862 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8863 codes along the way.
8866 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8867 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8868 objects to objects.h
8871 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8872 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8875 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8876 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8878 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8879 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8880 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8882 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8883 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8884 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8886 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8887 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8888 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8891 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8893 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8894 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8897 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8898 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8899 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8900 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8901 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8903 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8904 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8905 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8907 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8909 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8911 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8913 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8914 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8916 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8917 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8918 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8919 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8921 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8924 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8925 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8926 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8927 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8930 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8931 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8932 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8935 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8936 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8937 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8938 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8939 installed as `perl').
8940 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8942 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8943 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8945 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8946 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8947 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8948 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8949 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8952 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8955 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8956 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8957 is horrible: I feel ill....
8960 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8961 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8962 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8963 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8966 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8967 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8969 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8970 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8971 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8972 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8974 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8975 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8976 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8977 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8978 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8979 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8981 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8983 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8984 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8986 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8987 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8989 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8992 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8993 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8997 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8998 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8999 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9000 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9001 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9002 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9003 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9004 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9005 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9006 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9007 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9009 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9012 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9013 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9014 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9015 for linking it into DSOs.
9016 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9018 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9022 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9023 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9024 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9025 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9026 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9027 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9029 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9030 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9031 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9032 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9033 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9034 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9035 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9037 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9038 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9039 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9043 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9044 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9045 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9046 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9049 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9050 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9051 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9052 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9053 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9057 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9058 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9059 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9060 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9061 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9063 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9064 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9065 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9067 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9068 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9070 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9071 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9072 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9073 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9074 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9077 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9078 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9079 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9080 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9081 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9082 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9083 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9086 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9088 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9089 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9092 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9093 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9095 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9096 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9099 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9100 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9101 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9102 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9103 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9105 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9106 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9107 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9108 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9109 no way to reconfigure them.
9110 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9111 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9112 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9113 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9114 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9115 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9117 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9118 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9119 recognized by the users.
9120 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9122 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9123 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9124 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9125 already masked variable.
9126 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9128 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9129 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9131 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9132 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9133 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9134 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9136 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9137 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9138 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9140 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9141 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9142 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9143 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9144 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9145 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9146 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9147 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9149 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9151 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9152 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9153 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9155 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9156 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9160 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9161 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9163 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9164 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9165 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9166 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9169 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9172 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9173 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9175 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9178 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9179 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9182 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9183 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9186 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9187 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9188 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9189 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9190 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9191 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9192 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9195 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9196 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9198 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9199 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9200 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9201 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9202 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9204 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9205 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9206 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9209 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9210 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9214 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9215 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9216 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9218 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
9219 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
9220 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
9224 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
9225 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
9226 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
9227 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
9230 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
9231 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
9232 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
9233 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
9236 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
9237 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9238 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9239 so it wasn't spotted.
9240 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9242 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9243 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9244 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9245 vectors if you have them.
9248 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9249 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9252 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9253 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9254 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9255 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9257 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9258 it will update them.
9261 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9262 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9263 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9264 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9265 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9266 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9267 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9268 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9270 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9271 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9272 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9273 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9274 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9275 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9276 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9277 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9278 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9279 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9281 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9282 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9283 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9284 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9285 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9288 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9292 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9293 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9295 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9296 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9298 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9299 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9302 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9303 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9305 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9306 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9308 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9311 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9315 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9316 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9317 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9318 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9320 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9323 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9326 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
9329 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
9330 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
9333 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
9334 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
9338 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
9339 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9342 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9343 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9344 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9347 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9348 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9349 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9350 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9351 properly to be processed.
9354 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9355 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9356 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9359 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9360 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9362 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9363 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9364 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9365 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9366 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9367 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9368 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9369 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9370 or delete all the .err files.
9373 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9374 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9375 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9376 to regenerate it if needed.
9377 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9378 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9380 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9381 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9383 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9384 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9385 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9386 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9387 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9390 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9391 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9393 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9394 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9396 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9397 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9398 error, but didn't set one).
9399 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9401 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9404 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9405 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9408 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9409 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9411 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9412 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9413 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9414 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9415 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9416 OID is not part of the table.
9419 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9420 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9423 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9426 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9427 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9431 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9432 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9434 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9436 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9438 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9439 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9441 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9442 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9444 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9445 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9447 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9448 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9451 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9452 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9455 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9456 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9458 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9459 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9461 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9462 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9464 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9465 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9467 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9468 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9469 unused in the certificate verification process.
9470 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9472 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9473 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9476 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9477 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9478 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9480 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9481 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9482 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9483 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9484 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9486 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9487 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9490 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9493 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9496 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9497 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9499 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9502 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9505 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9508 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9509 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9510 other error libraries.
9513 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9516 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9517 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9521 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9522 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9523 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9524 the new set of documenation files.
9525 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9527 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9528 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9529 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9530 number of arguments.
9531 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9533 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9536 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9537 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9538 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9540 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9543 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9547 unixware-2.0-pentium
9551 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9552 before they are needed.
9555 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9559 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9561 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9562 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9563 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9565 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9568 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9569 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9570 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9572 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9573 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9574 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9576 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9577 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9578 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9580 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9581 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9583 *) Updated the README file.
9584 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9586 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9587 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9588 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9590 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9591 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9592 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9594 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9595 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9596 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9597 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9598 o removed obsolete TODO file
9599 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9600 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9602 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9603 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9604 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
9605 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
9606 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
9607 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9608 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9610 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9613 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9614 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9615 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9617 [The OpenSSL Project]
9620 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9622 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9625 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9628 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9629 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9632 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9633 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9637 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9639 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9641 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9644 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9647 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9650 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9653 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9656 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9659 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9662 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9665 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9668 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9671 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9674 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9677 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9680 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9683 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9686 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9689 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9692 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9693 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9694 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9697 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9698 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
9701 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
9704 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
9707 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
9708 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
9711 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
9714 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
9717 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
9718 bytes sent in the client random.
