5 Changes between 1.0.1s and 1.0.1t [xx XXX xxxx]
9 Changes between 1.0.1r and 1.0.1s [1 Mar 2016]
11 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
12 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
13 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
16 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
17 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
18 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
19 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
20 will need to explicitly call either of:
22 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
24 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
26 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
27 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
28 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
29 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
30 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
34 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
36 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
37 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
38 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
41 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
46 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
48 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
50 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
51 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
52 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
55 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
56 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
57 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
58 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
59 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
60 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
65 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
67 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
68 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
69 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
70 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
71 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
72 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
73 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
74 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
75 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
76 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
77 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
79 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
80 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
81 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
82 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
83 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
85 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
89 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
91 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
92 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
93 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
95 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
96 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
97 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
98 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
99 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
102 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
103 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
104 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
105 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
106 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
107 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
108 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
109 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
110 as command line arguments.
112 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
113 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
114 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
116 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
120 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
122 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
123 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
124 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
125 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
126 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
128 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
129 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
130 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
131 http://cachebleed.info.
135 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
136 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
137 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
138 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
141 Changes between 1.0.1q and 1.0.1r [28 Jan 2016]
143 *) Protection for DH small subgroup attacks
145 As a precautionary measure the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been
146 switched on by default and cannot be disabled. This could have some
150 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
152 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
153 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
154 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
157 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
158 and Sebastian Schinzel.
162 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024 bits.
165 Changes between 1.0.1p and 1.0.1q [3 Dec 2015]
167 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
169 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
170 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
171 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
172 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
173 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
174 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
175 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
178 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
182 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
184 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
185 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
186 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
187 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
189 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
194 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
195 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
196 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
197 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
200 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
201 use a random seed, as already documented.
202 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
204 Changes between 1.0.1o and 1.0.1p [9 Jul 2015]
206 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
208 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
209 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
210 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
211 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
212 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
213 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
215 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
220 *) Race condition handling PSK identify hint
222 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
223 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
224 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
229 Changes between 1.0.1n and 1.0.1o [12 Jun 2015]
230 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
231 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
234 Changes between 1.0.1m and 1.0.1n [11 Jun 2015]
236 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
238 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
239 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
242 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
243 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
244 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
245 client authentication enabled.
247 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
251 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
253 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
254 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
255 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
258 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
259 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
260 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
261 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
262 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
265 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
266 independently by Hanno Böck.
270 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
272 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
273 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
274 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
276 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
277 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
278 servers are not affected.
280 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
284 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
286 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
287 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
288 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
290 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
294 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
296 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
297 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
298 a double free of the ticket data.
302 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 768 bits.
303 [Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper]
305 *) dhparam: generate 2048-bit parameters by default.
306 [Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper]
308 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.1m [19 Mar 2015]
310 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
312 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
313 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
314 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
315 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
316 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
317 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
321 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
323 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
324 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
325 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
327 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
328 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
329 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
334 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
336 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
337 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
338 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
340 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
341 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
342 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
344 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
348 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
350 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
351 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
352 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
354 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
355 (OpenSSL development team).
359 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
361 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
362 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
363 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
364 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
365 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
366 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
368 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
373 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
375 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
376 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
378 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
382 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
385 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
387 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
388 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
390 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
392 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
393 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
394 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
395 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
399 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
400 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
401 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
402 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
403 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
404 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
408 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
409 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
410 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
411 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
415 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
418 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
419 reporting this issue.
423 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
424 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
425 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
426 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
427 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
428 INRIA or reporting this issue.
432 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
433 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
434 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
435 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
436 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
437 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
438 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
443 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
444 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
446 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
447 and can vary with the CTX.
450 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
452 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
453 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
454 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
455 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
456 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
458 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
460 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
461 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
463 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
465 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
466 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
467 errors for some broken certificates.
469 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
471 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
473 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
474 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
476 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
477 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
478 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
479 (negative or with leading zeroes).
481 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
482 of the OpenSSL core team.
487 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
488 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
489 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
490 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
491 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
492 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
493 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
494 the OpenSSL core team.
498 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
499 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
500 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
501 sanity and breaks all known clients.
502 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
504 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
505 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
506 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
509 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
510 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
511 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
512 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
513 announced in the initial ServerHello.
515 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
516 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
517 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
520 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
524 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
525 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
526 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
527 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
528 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
529 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
530 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
532 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
536 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
538 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
539 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
540 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
541 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
542 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
547 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
549 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
550 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
551 configured to send them.
553 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
555 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
556 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
557 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
559 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
561 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
563 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
564 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
565 DigestInfo structures.
567 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
571 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
573 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
574 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
575 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
577 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
578 Group for discovering this issue.
582 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
583 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
584 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
585 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
586 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
588 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
589 researching this issue.
593 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
594 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
595 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
596 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
598 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
603 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
604 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
605 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
609 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
610 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
611 Denial of Service attack.
612 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
616 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
617 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
618 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
619 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
624 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
625 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
626 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
628 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
633 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
634 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
635 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
636 Denial of Service attack.
638 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
639 discovering and researching this issue.
643 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
644 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
645 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
646 output to the attacker.
648 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
650 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
652 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
653 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
654 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
657 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
659 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
660 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
661 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
663 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
664 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
665 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
667 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
668 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
671 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
673 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
675 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
676 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
677 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
678 code on a vulnerable client or server.
680 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
681 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
683 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
684 are subject to a denial of service attack.
686 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
687 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
688 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
690 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
692 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
694 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
696 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
698 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
699 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
701 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
703 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
704 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
707 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
708 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
709 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
710 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
712 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
713 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
714 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
715 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
717 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
718 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
719 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
721 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
723 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
724 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
725 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
726 is at least 512 bytes long.
728 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
730 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
732 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
733 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
734 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
737 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
738 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
739 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
742 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
743 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
744 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
745 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
746 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
747 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
748 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
750 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
752 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
753 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
754 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
756 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
758 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
760 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
761 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
762 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
764 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
765 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
766 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
767 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
769 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
771 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
772 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
773 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
774 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
775 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
779 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
780 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
783 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
784 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
786 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
787 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
788 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
789 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
790 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
792 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
795 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
799 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
801 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
802 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
804 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
805 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
809 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
810 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
813 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
817 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
819 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
820 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
821 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
822 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
823 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
824 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
825 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
826 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
827 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
828 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
831 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
832 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
833 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
834 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
835 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
836 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
840 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
842 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
843 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
844 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
846 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
847 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
849 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
851 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
854 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
855 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
857 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
858 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
859 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
860 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
861 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
862 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
863 Most broken servers should now work.
864 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
865 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
868 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
871 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
873 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
874 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
877 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
878 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
879 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
880 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
881 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
884 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
885 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
886 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
887 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
888 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
891 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
892 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
894 *) Add support for SCTP.
895 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
897 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
898 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
900 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
902 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
903 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
904 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
905 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
906 - s390x: z196 support;
907 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
911 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
912 (removal of unnecessary code)
913 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
915 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
918 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
921 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
922 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
923 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
925 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
927 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
928 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
929 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
930 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
931 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
933 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
934 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
935 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
937 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
938 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
939 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
941 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
942 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
944 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
946 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
947 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
948 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
951 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
952 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
956 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
957 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
958 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
961 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
962 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
963 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
964 the appropriate parameters.
967 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
968 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
969 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
970 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
971 against a number of sample certificates.
974 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
975 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
977 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
978 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
980 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
981 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
985 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
989 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
990 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
991 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
995 *) Session-handling fixes:
996 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
997 but also support Session Tickets.
998 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
999 presented a ticket with an expired session.
1000 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
1001 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
1002 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
1003 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1005 *) Fix PSK session representation.
1008 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
1010 This work was sponsored by Intel.
1013 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
1014 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
1015 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
1016 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
1017 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
1020 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1021 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1024 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1025 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1026 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1029 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1030 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
1031 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
1032 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1035 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1036 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1037 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1040 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1041 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1043 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1046 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1047 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1050 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1053 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1054 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1057 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1058 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1061 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1064 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1065 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1066 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1069 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1072 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1075 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1076 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1079 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1080 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1081 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1084 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
1087 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
1091 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
1092 FIPS modules versions.
1095 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
1096 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
1097 until after the certificate request message is received.
1100 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
1101 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
1102 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
1103 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
1106 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
1107 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
1108 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
1109 support yet and no support for client certificates.
1112 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
1113 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
1114 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
1115 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
1116 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
1117 and version checking.
1120 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
1121 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
1122 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
1123 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
1127 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1129 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
1132 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
1133 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
1134 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1136 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
1137 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
1138 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
1141 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
1142 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
1144 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
1145 a few changes are required:
1147 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
1148 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
1149 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
1150 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
1151 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
1154 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1156 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1157 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1158 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1159 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1160 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1161 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1162 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1163 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1164 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1167 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1168 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1169 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1172 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1174 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1175 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1176 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1177 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1180 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1182 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1183 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1184 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1185 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1186 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1187 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1188 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1189 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1190 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1191 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1192 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1193 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1194 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1196 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1198 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1200 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1201 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1202 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)

1205 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
1206 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
1208 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1209 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1210 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1211 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1213 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1214 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1216 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1217 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1219 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1220 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1222 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1223 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1224 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1226 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1227 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1228 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1230 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1231 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1232 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1233 the last update always remained unused).
1234 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1236 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1237 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1239 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1241 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1242 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1243 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1245 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1246 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1247 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1249 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1252 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1253 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1254 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1257 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1258 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1260 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1262 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1264 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1266 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1267 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1269 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1270 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1274 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1276 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1277 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1278 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1281 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1282 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1283 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1286 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1288 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1289 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1290 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1293 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1297 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1299 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1301 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1303 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1305 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1306 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1307 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1310 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1313 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1314 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1315 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1317 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1318 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1319 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1322 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1323 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1326 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1327 some responders need this.
1330 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1332 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1334 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1335 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1336 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1339 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1342 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1343 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1344 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1345 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1346 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1347 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1348 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1349 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1352 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1353 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1354 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1355 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1357 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1358 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1360 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1364 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1365 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1366 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1367 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1368 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1369 attempting to work them out.
1372 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1373 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1374 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1375 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1378 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1379 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1380 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1381 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1382 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1385 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1386 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1393 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1395 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1399 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1400 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1402 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1403 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1405 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1406 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1407 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1408 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1409 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1412 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1413 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1414 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1417 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1418 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1421 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1422 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1424 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1425 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1428 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1431 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1432 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1433 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1437 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1438 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1439 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1440 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1441 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1442 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1445 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1446 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1448 This work was sponsored by Google.
1451 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1452 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1453 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1454 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1455 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1456 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1457 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1460 This work was sponsored by Google.
1463 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1465 This work was sponsored by Google.
1468 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1469 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1470 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1471 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1473 This work was sponsored by Google.
1476 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1477 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1478 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1479 CRL functionality in future.
1481 This work was sponsored by Google.
1484 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1486 This work was sponsored by Google.
1489 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1490 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1492 This work was sponsored by Google.
1495 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1496 and URI types are currently supported.
1498 This work was sponsored by Google.
1501 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1502 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1503 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1504 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1505 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1506 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1507 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1508 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1510 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1511 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1512 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1514 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1515 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1516 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1517 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1519 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1520 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1521 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1522 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1523 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1524 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1525 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1526 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1528 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1530 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1531 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1532 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1534 This work was sponsored by Google.
1537 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1540 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1541 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1542 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1545 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1546 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1549 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1550 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1553 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1554 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1555 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1556 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1557 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1558 content types and variants.
1561 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1564 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1565 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1566 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1567 files from the associated perl scripts.
1570 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1571 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1572 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1574 *) s390x assembler pack.
1577 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1581 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1582 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1583 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1584 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1585 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1586 to use. For example, specify an option
1588 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1590 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1591 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1592 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1593 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1594 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1595 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1597 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1598 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1599 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1600 return non-zero for success.
1602 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1605 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1606 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1610 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1613 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1614 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1615 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1616 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1617 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1618 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1619 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1620 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1621 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1623 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1624 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1625 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1626 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1627 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1628 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1630 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1631 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1632 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1633 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1634 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1635 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1639 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1642 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1644 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1645 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1646 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1649 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1650 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1653 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1654 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1655 with no application modification.
1657 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1658 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1660 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1661 or server extensions to be examined.
1663 This work was sponsored by Google.
1666 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1667 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1668 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1670 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1671 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1672 ciphersuite support.
1673 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1675 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1676 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1677 to output in BER and PEM format.
1680 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1681 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1682 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1683 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1684 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1687 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1688 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1689 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1693 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1694 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1695 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1696 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1697 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1698 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1699 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1700 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1703 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1704 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1705 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1706 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1708 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1709 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1710 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1714 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1715 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1716 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1717 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1718 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1719 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1720 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1721 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1722 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1724 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1725 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1726 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1727 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1728 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1729 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1730 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1731 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1732 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1733 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1734 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1737 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1738 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1739 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1741 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1742 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1746 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1747 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1748 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1751 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1752 it yet and it is largely untested.
1755 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1758 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1759 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1760 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1763 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1766 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1767 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1768 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1769 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1772 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1773 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1774 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1775 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1776 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1779 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1780 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1783 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1784 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1785 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1786 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1789 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1790 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1791 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1792 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1795 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1796 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1799 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1800 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1801 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1802 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1805 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1806 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1807 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1810 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1814 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1815 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1818 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1819 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1820 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1824 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1825 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1826 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1829 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1830 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1831 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1832 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1835 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1836 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1837 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1838 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1839 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1840 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1843 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1844 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1845 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1846 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1847 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1849 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1850 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1851 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1852 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1853 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1856 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1857 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1858 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1859 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1861 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1862 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1863 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1864 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1865 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1871 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1872 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1876 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1877 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1880 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1881 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1884 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1885 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1886 functional reference processing.
1889 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1890 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1894 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1895 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1896 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1899 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1900 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1901 application to support multiple signers.
1904 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1908 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1909 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1910 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1911 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1912 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1915 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1919 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1920 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1921 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1922 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1926 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1927 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1928 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1929 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1930 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1931 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1932 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1933 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1936 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1937 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1938 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1939 between digests and public key types.
1942 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1943 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1944 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1945 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1948 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1949 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1953 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1956 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1960 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1961 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1962 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1963 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1968 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1970 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1972 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1974 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1975 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1976 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1977 functionality for RSA.
1980 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1981 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1982 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1985 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1986 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1989 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1990 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1991 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1994 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1995 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1998 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1999 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2002 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2003 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2007 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2008 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2009 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2013 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2014 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2015 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2016 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2017 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2018 of public and private key structures.
2021 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2022 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2025 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2026 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2027 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2030 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2034 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2035 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2036 SSL_get_psk_identity
2037 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2039 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2041 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2042 and response verification functionality.
2043 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2045 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2046 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2047 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2048 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2049 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2050 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2051 server_name extension.
2053 New functions (subject to change):
2055 SSL_get_servername()
2056 SSL_get_servername_type()
2059 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2061 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2062 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2063 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2064 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2065 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2067 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2069 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2070 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2071 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2072 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2073 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2074 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2077 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2079 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
2082 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
2083 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
2084 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
2085 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
2086 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
2089 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
2090 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
2094 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
2095 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
2096 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
2097 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
2100 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
2101 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
2102 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
2103 using the maximum available value.
2106 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
2107 in addition to the text details.
2110 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
2111 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2112 handle several customised structures at all.
2115 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2116 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2117 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2120 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2123 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2124 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2125 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2128 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2129 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2130 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2133 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2134 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2138 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2141 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2144 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2146 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2147 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2148 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2149 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2150 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2151 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2152 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2153 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2155 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2156 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2157 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2159 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2161 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2162 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2164 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2165 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2168 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2169 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2170 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2173 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2174 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2175 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2176 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2177 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2178 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2181 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2182 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2183 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2186 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2187 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2188 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2189 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2190 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2191 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2195 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2196 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2199 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2200 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2201 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2204 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2207 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2208 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2209 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2210 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2211 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2212 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2213 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2214 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2215 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2218 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2219 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2220 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2223 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2224 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2227 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2228 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2229 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2230 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2231 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2232 know what you are doing.
2233 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2235 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2236 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2237 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2238 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2239 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2240 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2244 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2245 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2246 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2248 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2250 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2251 warnings in other configurations.
2254 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2255 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2256 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2258 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2260 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2261 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2262 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2264 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2265 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2266 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2267 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2270 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2274 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2275 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2277 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2279 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2280 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2281 other than a simple chain.
2282 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2284 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2285 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2286 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2287 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2290 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2291 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2292 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2293 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2294 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2295 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2296 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2297 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2298 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2300 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2301 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2302 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2303 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2304 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2305 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2307 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2309 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2310 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2313 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2314 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2317 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2319 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2321 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2322 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2323 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2324 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2325 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2329 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2331 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2332 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2333 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2334 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2336 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2337 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2338 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2339 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2341 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2342 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2343 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2346 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2347 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2351 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2352 to handle some structures.
2355 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2357 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2359 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2362 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2365 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2368 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2369 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2373 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2375 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2377 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2379 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2382 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2383 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2384 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2385 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2387 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2388 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2390 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2391 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2394 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2395 s_client and s_server.
2398 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2399 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2401 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2402 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2404 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2405 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2406 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2407 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2408 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2411 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2413 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2414 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2417 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2418 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2421 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2422 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2423 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2424 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2426 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2427 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2429 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2431 *) Various precautionary measures:
2433 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2435 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2436 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2437 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2439 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2440 outside the expected range.
2442 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2445 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2447 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2448 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2449 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2451 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2454 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2457 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2459 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2462 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2463 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2464 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2466 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2469 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2470 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2471 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2475 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2477 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2478 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2479 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2480 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2482 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2483 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2486 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2488 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2489 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2490 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2492 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2494 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2495 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2496 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2497 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2500 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2501 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2502 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2503 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2504 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2505 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2506 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2508 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2510 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2511 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2512 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2513 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2514 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2516 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2517 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2519 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2520 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2521 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2522 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2523 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2525 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2527 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2528 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2529 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2530 sets may exist with different names.
2533 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2534 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2535 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2536 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2537 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2538 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2539 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2540 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2541 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2543 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2545 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2546 implemention in the following ways:
2548 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2551 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2552 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2553 ignored for embedded content.
2555 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2556 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2559 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2560 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2561 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2562 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2564 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2565 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2568 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2569 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2572 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2573 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2574 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2575 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2576 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2577 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2581 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2582 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.

2602 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2604 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2605 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2606 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2607 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2608 to s_client and s_server.
2611 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2613 *) Fix various bugs:
2614 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2615 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2616 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2617 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2618 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2620 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2622 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2623 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2624 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2625 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2626 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2627 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2628 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2629 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2632 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2633 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2634 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2637 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2638 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2639 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2642 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2643 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2646 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2647 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2648 with no application modification.
2650 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2651 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2653 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2654 or server extensions to be examined.
2656 This work was sponsored by Google.
2659 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2660 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2661 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2662 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2663 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2664 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2665 server_name extension.
2667 New functions (subject to change):
2669 SSL_get_servername()
2670 SSL_get_servername_type()
2673 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2675 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2676 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2677 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2678 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2679 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2681 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2683 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2684 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2685 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2686 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2687 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2688 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2691 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2693 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2696 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2699 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2700 (which previously caused an internal error).
2703 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2706 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2707 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2709 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2710 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2711 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2713 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2714 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2715 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2716 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2718 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2719 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2720 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2721 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2723 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2724 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2725 information. For detailed background information, see
2726 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2727 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2728 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2729 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2730 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2731 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2732 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2733 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2734 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2735 remove a conditional branch.
2737 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2738 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2739 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2740 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2741 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2742 remains as a deprecated alias.
2744 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2745 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2746 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2747 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2749 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2750 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2751 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2752 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2753 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2754 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2755 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2756 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2758 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2760 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2761 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2762 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2763 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2764 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2765 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2766 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2767 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2768 in a different context.
2771 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2772 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2773 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2776 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2777 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2778 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2780 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2782 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2783 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2784 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2785 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2786 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2789 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2790 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2791 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2792 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2793 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2794 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2797 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2798 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2799 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2800 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2801 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2804 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2805 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2807 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2808 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2809 Improve header file function name parsing.
2812 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2813 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2816 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2818 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2819 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2820 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2822 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2823 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2825 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2826 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2828 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2829 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2830 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2832 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2833 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2834 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2835 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2836 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2837 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2838 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2839 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2840 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2842 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2843 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2844 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2845 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2846 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2848 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2849 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2850 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2851 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2852 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2853 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2854 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2855 multiple values to extend the available space.
2859 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2861 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2862 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2864 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2867 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2868 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2869 undesirable limitations.
2870 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2872 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2873 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2874 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2875 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2876 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2877 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2878 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2881 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2883 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2884 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2885 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2887 The latter two were purportedly from
2888 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2891 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2892 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2893 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2896 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2897 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2900 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2901 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2902 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2903 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2905 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2906 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2907 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2910 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2911 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2912 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2913 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2914 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2915 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2918 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2920 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2921 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2924 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2925 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2927 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2928 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2929 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2930 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2933 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2934 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2937 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2938 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2939 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2940 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2941 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2942 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2943 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2947 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2948 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2949 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2950 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2953 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2954 under VC++ build system.
2957 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2958 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2961 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2963 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2964 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2965 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2966 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2967 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2969 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2970 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2971 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2973 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2976 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2977 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2980 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2981 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2983 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2986 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2987 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2989 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2990 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2993 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2994 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2998 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3000 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3003 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3006 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3007 key into the same file any more.
3010 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3013 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3014 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3016 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3017 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3020 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3021 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3022 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3023 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3024 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3025 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3027 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3028 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3029 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3032 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3033 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3034 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3035 - add new function for parameter creation
3036 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3037 BN_BLINDING parameters
3038 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3039 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3040 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3044 *) Add support for DTLS.
3045 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3047 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3048 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3051 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3052 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3055 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3056 the apps/openssl applications.
3059 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3060 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3061 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3064 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3065 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3067 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3068 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3070 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3071 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3072 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3073 avoid this algorithm.)
3077 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3078 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3079 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3082 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3083 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3086 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3087 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3088 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3091 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3093 The blank line is mandatory.
3097 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3098 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3102 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3103 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3105 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3106 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3107 to support policy checking and print out.
3110 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3111 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3112 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3113 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3115 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3118 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3119 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3121 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3122 implementation contributed by IBM.
3123 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3125 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3126 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3127 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3128 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3130 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3131 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3133 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3134 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3135 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3136 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3137 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3138 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3141 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3142 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3143 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3144 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3145 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3146 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3147 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3150 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3153 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3154 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3155 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3156 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3157 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3158 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3159 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3160 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3163 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3164 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3165 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3166 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3169 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3172 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3175 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3176 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3177 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3178 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3179 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3180 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3181 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3184 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3185 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3188 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3189 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3190 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3193 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3194 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3195 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3199 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3200 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3203 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3204 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3205 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3206 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3209 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3210 initialised value as BN_new().
3211 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3213 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3216 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3217 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3218 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3219 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3220 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3221 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3222 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3223 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3224 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3225 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3226 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3227 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3228 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3229 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3230 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3232 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3233 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3234 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3235 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3238 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3239 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3240 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3241 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3242 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3243 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3244 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3245 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3246 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3249 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3250 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3251 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3252 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3253 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3254 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3255 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3258 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3259 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3260 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3261 these have been updated also.
3264 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3265 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3266 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3267 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3268 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3272 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3273 structure of type "other".
3276 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3277 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3278 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3279 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3280 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3281 situation in the script.
3282 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3284 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3285 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3286 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3287 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3288 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3289 used as premaster secret.
3290 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3292 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3293 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3294 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3296 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3297 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3299 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3300 control of the error stack.
3303 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3306 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3307 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3308 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3309 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3312 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3313 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3314 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3317 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3318 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3319 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3323 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3324 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3325 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3326 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3329 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3330 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3331 the following flags are defined:
3333 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3334 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3335 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3338 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3339 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3340 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3341 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3345 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3346 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3347 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3348 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3349 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3352 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3353 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3354 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3357 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3358 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3359 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3360 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3361 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3362 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3365 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3369 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3372 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3375 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3378 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3379 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3380 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3381 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3382 default implementation more easily.
3385 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3389 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3390 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3393 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3394 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3395 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3396 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3398 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3399 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3400 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3401 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3404 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3405 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3409 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3410 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3411 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3412 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3413 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3414 scalar * generator).
3415 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3417 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3418 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3419 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3423 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3424 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3425 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3426 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3427 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3428 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3429 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3430 linker additions, eg;
3431 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3434 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3435 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3436 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3439 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3440 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3441 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3445 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3446 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3447 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3448 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3451 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3452 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3453 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3454 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3455 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3456 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3457 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3458 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3459 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3460 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3462 Example for using the new callback interface:
3464 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3468 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3470 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3471 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3472 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3473 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3474 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3475 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3480 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3481 available to TLS with the number defined in
3482 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3485 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3486 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3488 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3489 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3490 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3491 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3493 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3494 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3496 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3497 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3501 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3502 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3505 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3506 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3507 and a macro that behave like
3508 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3510 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3513 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3514 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3515 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3517 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3519 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3522 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3523 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3524 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3525 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3527 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3528 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3529 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3530 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3531 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3532 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3533 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3534 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3536 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3537 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3540 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3541 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3543 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3544 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3545 files while avoiding the low level API.
3547 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3548 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3549 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3550 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3552 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3553 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3554 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3555 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3556 instead of the low level API.
3559 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3560 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3561 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3562 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3563 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3566 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3567 down to the template encoder.
3570 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3571 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3574 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3575 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3576 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3577 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3579 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3580 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3582 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3583 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3585 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3586 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3589 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3590 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3591 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3594 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3595 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3597 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3598 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3600 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3601 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3604 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3608 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3609 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3610 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3611 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3612 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3613 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3615 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3616 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3619 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3620 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3621 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3622 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3623 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3624 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3625 various internal method names.)
3627 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3628 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3630 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3631 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3633 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3634 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3636 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3637 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3638 methods are undefined.
3640 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3641 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3643 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3644 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3645 length of the modulus.
3647 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3648 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3650 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3651 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3653 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3654 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3656 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3657 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3658 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3661 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3662 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3663 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3664 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3666 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3667 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3668 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3669 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3671 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3672 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3674 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3675 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3676 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3677 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3678 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3680 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3681 This applies to the following functions:
3686 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3687 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3689 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3690 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3694 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3699 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3701 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3702 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3703 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3704 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3705 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3707 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3708 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3710 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3711 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3712 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3714 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3715 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3717 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3718 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3719 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3720 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3721 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3723 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3725 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3726 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3727 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3728 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3729 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3730 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3731 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3732 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3733 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3734 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3735 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3736 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3738 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3741 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3742 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3743 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3744 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3746 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3747 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3748 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3749 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3754 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3755 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3756 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3757 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3758 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3760 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3761 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3762 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3763 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3764 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3765 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3766 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3767 adding different types of curves.
3768 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3770 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3771 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3772 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3775 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3776 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3778 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3779 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3780 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3781 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3783 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3785 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3786 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3788 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3789 library. Most notably,
3790 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3791 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3792 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3793 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3794 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3795 extracted before the specific public key;
3796 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3797 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3799 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3800 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3802 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3803 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3804 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3805 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3807 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3808 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3809 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3811 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3812 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3813 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3814 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3815 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3816 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3820 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3822 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3824 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3826 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3827 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3828 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3831 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3832 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3833 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3836 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3839 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3840 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3843 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3844 run algorithm test programs.
3847 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3850 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3851 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3852 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3853 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3854 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3857 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3858 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3861 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3863 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3864 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3865 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3867 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3868 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3870 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3871 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3873 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3874 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3875 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3877 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3878 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3879 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3880 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3881 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3882 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3883 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3886 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3888 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3889 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3891 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3892 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3893 undesirable limitations.
3894 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3896 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3898 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3899 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3900 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3902 The latter two were purportedly from
3903 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3906 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3907 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3908 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3911 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3912 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3915 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3917 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3918 module in FIPS mode.
3921 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3924 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3925 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3926 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3927 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3930 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3932 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3933 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3934 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3935 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3936 the difference induced by this change.
3939 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3941 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3942 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3943 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3944 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3945 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3947 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3948 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3949 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3951 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3952 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3955 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3956 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3957 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3958 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3962 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3963 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3964 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3965 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3966 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3968 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3969 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3970 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3971 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3972 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3973 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3975 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3977 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3978 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3979 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3980 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3981 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3984 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3988 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3989 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3990 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3993 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3994 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3995 structures constant.
3998 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4000 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4003 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4004 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4005 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4006 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4007 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4008 some needed definitions.
4011 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4014 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4015 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4016 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4017 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4020 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4022 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4023 server and client random values. Previously
4024 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4025 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4027 This change has negligible security impact because:
4029 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4032 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4035 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4036 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4039 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4042 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4044 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4047 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4048 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4049 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4051 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4054 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4055 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4058 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4059 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4060 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4062 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4065 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4066 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4067 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4071 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4072 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4073 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4074 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4076 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4077 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4078 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4079 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
4083 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4085 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4086 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4087 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4088 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4089 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4092 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4095 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4096 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4098 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4099 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4100 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4101 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4102 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4103 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4104 rather than being initialized to 1.
4107 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4109 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4110 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4111 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4113 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4115 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4117 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4118 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4119 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4120 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4121 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4122 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4125 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4126 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4127 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4128 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4129 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4133 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4134 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4135 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4136 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4137 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4140 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4141 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4142 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4146 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4147 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4149 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4152 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4154 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4156 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4157 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4159 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4161 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4162 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4166 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4167 exiting on the first error in a request.
4170 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4171 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4175 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4176 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4177 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4178 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4180 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4181 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4184 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4185 blocks during encryption.
4188 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4189 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4190 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4191 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4195 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4196 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4197 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4198 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4199 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4203 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4205 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4206 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4207 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4208 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4211 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4212 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4213 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4214 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4215 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4217 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4218 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4219 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4220 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4221 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4222 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4223 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4224 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4225 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4228 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4229 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4230 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4231 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4234 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4235 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4238 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4240 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4241 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4242 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4243 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4244 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4246 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4247 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4248 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4250 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4251 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4252 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4253 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4254 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4256 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4257 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not

4261 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4262 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4264 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4265 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4266 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4267 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4268 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4270 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4271 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4272 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4273 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4275 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4277 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4279 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4281 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4282 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4283 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4284 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4288 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4289 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4291 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4292 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4295 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4296 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4297 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4298 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4301 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4302 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4303 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4304 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4305 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4306 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4307 followup to PR #377.
4310 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4311 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4314 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4315 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4316 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

4321 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
4324 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
4325 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
4326 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session

4334 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
4338 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4339 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4340 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4341 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4342 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4343 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4345 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4346 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4347 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4348 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4349 have to be made anyway).
4352 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4353 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4354 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4357 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4358 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4359 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
4362 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
4363 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
4364 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4366 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
4367 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
4368 edit numbers of the version.
4369 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]

4375 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.

4460 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.

4475 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4476 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4478 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4479 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4480 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4482 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4483 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4484 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4485 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4487 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4488 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4489 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4492 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4493 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4494 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4495 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4496 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4497 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4498 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4499 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4502 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4503 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4504 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4507 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4508 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4509 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4510 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4511 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4513 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4514 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4516 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4517 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4520 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4521 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4522 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4523 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4524 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4525 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4528 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4529 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4530 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4533 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4534 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4537 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4538 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4539 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4540 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4541 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4542 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4543 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4546 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4547 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4548 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4549 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4550 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4551 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4554 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4555 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4556 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4557 declaration has been changed from
4560 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4561 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4562 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4563 has been changed into
4564 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4566 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4567 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4568 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4570 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4571 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4573 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4574 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4575 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4576 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4577 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4578 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4579 always load it have also been added.
4582 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4583 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4584 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4586 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4588 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4589 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4590 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4592 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4593 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4594 command line option can be used to specify an
4598 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4599 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4602 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4603 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4604 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4607 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4608 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4609 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4610 to work with the new engine framework.
4611 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4613 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4614 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4615 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4616 to work with the new engine framework.
4619 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4620 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4621 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4623 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4624 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4626 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4627 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4628 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4629 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4631 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4633 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4634 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4636 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4637 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4639 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4640 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4641 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4644 *) Add new functions
4646 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4647 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4648 These are similar to
4651 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4652 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4653 still in the error queue.
4654 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4656 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4658 default_algorithms = ALL
4659 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4662 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4665 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4668 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4669 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4670 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4671 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4673 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4674 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4676 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4677 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4679 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4680 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4683 *) New functions/macros
4685 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4686 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4687 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4688 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4690 to request calling a callback function
4692 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4693 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4695 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4696 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4697 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4698 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4699 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4700 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4701 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4702 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4703 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4704 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4706 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4707 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4710 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4711 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4712 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4713 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4714 the configuration scripts.
4716 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4717 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4718 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4720 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4721 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4723 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4724 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4725 when reusing an existing buffer.
4728 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4729 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4732 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4733 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4736 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4737 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4738 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4739 has the same effect.
4740 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4742 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4743 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4744 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4745 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4746 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4747 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4750 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4751 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4752 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4753 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4755 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4756 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4757 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4758 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4760 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4761 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4764 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4765 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4766 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4767 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4768 default), and then completely removed.
4771 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4772 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4773 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4774 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4775 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4776 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4777 particular extension is supported.
4780 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4781 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4784 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4785 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4786 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4787 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4788 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4789 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4790 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4791 requires the destination to be valid.
4793 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4794 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4797 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4798 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4799 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4802 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4803 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4805 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4806 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4807 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4808 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4809 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4810 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4811 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4812 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4813 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4814 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4815 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4816 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4817 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4818 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4819 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4820 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4821 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4822 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4823 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4827 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4830 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4831 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4832 become part of libeay.num as well.
4835 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4836 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4837 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4838 false once a handshake has been completed.
4839 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4840 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4841 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4842 client has followed the request.)
4845 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4846 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4847 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4848 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4850 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4851 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4852 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4855 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4858 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4859 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4860 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4863 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4864 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4867 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4868 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4869 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4870 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4873 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4874 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4875 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4876 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4877 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4878 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4881 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4882 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4883 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4884 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4885 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4886 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4887 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4888 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4891 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4892 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4895 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4898 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4899 md_data void pointer.
4902 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4903 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4904 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4905 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4906 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4907 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4910 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4911 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4912 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4913 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4914 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4915 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4916 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4917 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4918 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4919 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4920 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4921 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4922 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4923 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4924 rather than letting it slide.
4926 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4927 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4928 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4931 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4932 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4933 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4934 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4935 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4936 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4937 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4938 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4939 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4942 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4943 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4944 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4945 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4946 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4948 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4951 *) Add EVP test program.
4954 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4957 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4958 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4959 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4960 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4961 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4964 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4965 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4966 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4967 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4968 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4969 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4970 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4972 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4973 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4974 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4979 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4980 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4981 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4982 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4983 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4987 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4988 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4989 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4990 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4993 des_key_schedule ks;
4995 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4996 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4998 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
5001 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
5002 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
5003 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
5004 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
5005 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
5006 functions prevents this.
5009 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
5012 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
5013 correct _ecb suffix.
5016 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
5017 revocation information is handled using the text based index
5018 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
5019 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
5020 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
5023 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
5026 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
5027 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
5028 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
5029 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
5031 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
5032 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
5034 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
5035 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5036 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
5037 via Richard Levitte]
5039 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
5040 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
5041 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
5042 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
5045 *) Speed up EVP routines.
5048 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

5063 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
5064 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
5066 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
5067 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
5068 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
5069 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
5070 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
5071 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
5074 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
5075 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
5078 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
5079 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
5080 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
5081 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
5083 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
5084 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
5085 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
5086 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
5087 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
5088 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
5092 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
5093 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
5094 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
5095 and interrupts/cancellations.
5098 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
5099 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
5102 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
5103 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
5104 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
5106 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
5107 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
5111 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
5112 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
5113 than this minimum value is recommended.
5116 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
5117 that are easily reachable.
5120 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
5121 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
5123 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
5125 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
5126 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
5127 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
5128 needed for static libraries under Win32.
5131 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
5132 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
5133 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
5136 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
5137 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
5138 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
5139 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
5140 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
5141 internally such as S/MIME.
5143 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5144 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5145 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5147 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5151 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5152 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5153 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5154 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5156 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5158 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5160 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5161 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5162 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5166 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5167 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5168 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5169 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5170 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5171 a window system and the like.
5174 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5175 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5178 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5179 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5180 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5181 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5182 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5183 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5184 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5185 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5186 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5190 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5191 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5195 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5196 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5197 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5198 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5199 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5200 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5201 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5202 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5205 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5206 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5207 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5208 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5209 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5210 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5211 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5212 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5213 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5214 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5215 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5216 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5217 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5218 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5219 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5220 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5221 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5224 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5225 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5226 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5227 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5228 internal engine_int.h header.
5231 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5232 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5233 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5234 modify their own ones).
5237 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5238 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5239 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5240 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5241 later on via ctrl() commands.
5242 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5243 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5244 structural references.
5245 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5246 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5247 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5248 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5249 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5250 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5251 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5252 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5253 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5254 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5255 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5256 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5259 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5260 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5261 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5262 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5263 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5264 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5265 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5266 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5269 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5270 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5273 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5274 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5277 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5278 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5279 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5280 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5281 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5282 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5283 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5286 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5287 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5288 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5289 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5290 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5292 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5293 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5297 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5299 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5300 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5301 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5303 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5304 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5306 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5307 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5308 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5310 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5311 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5313 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5314 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5316 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5318 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5319 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5320 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5323 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5324 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5327 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5328 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5329 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5330 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5331 is 40 of more characters long.
5334 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5335 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5339 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5340 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5343 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5344 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5348 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5350 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5351 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5354 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5356 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5357 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5358 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5360 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5361 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5363 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5366 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5370 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5371 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5372 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5373 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5375 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5377 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5378 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5380 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5381 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5382 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5383 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5384 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5385 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5387 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5388 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5390 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5391 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5393 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5394 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5396 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5397 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5398 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5399 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5401 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5402 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5404 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5405 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5407 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5408 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5409 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5410 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5411 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5414 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5415 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5416 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5417 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5420 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5421 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5422 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5426 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5427 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5428 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5429 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5430 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5431 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5432 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5433 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5437 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5438 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5441 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5442 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5443 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5444 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5447 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5448 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5449 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5450 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5451 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5452 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5453 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5454 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5455 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5456 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5459 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5460 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5461 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5462 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5463 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5464 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5465 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5466 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5468 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5469 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5470 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5471 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5474 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5475 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5476 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5477 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5479 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5480 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5481 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5482 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5483 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5487 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5488 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5489 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5490 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5494 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5495 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5496 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5499 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5500 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5501 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5502 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5503 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5506 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5509 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5510 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5511 option to ocsp utility.
5514 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5515 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5516 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5517 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5518 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5519 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5520 the request is nonce-less.
5523 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5524 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5525 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5528 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5529 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5530 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5533 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5534 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5535 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5536 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5537 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5540 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5541 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5545 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5546 additional certificates supplied.
5549 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5550 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5554 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5555 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5558 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5559 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5560 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5561 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5562 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5563 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5564 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5565 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5566 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5568 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5569 request to response.
5572 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5573 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5574 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5575 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5576 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5577 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5578 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5579 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5580 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5581 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5582 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5585 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5586 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5587 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5588 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5591 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5592 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5594 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5595 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5596 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5599 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5600 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5601 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5602 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5603 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5605 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5606 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5607 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5610 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5611 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5612 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5613 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5614 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5615 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5616 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5617 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5619 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5620 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5621 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5622 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5623 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5624 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5627 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5628 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5629 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5630 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5631 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5632 printout format cleaned up.
5635 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5636 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5637 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5638 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5639 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5640 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5641 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5642 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5645 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5646 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5647 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5648 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5649 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5650 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5651 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5652 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5655 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5656 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5657 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5658 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5660 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5662 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5663 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5664 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5665 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5668 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5669 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5670 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5671 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5673 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5675 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5676 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5677 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5678 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5680 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5681 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5683 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5684 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5685 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5688 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5689 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5690 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5693 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5694 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5695 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5696 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5697 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5698 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5699 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5700 functions are provided:
5702 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5703 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5704 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5705 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5707 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5708 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5709 extended allocation function is enabled.
5710 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5711 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5712 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5714 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5715 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5716 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5717 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5718 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5721 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5722 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5723 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5725 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5726 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5727 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5730 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5731 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5732 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5733 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5734 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5735 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5736 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5737 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5738 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5741 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5742 provide utility functions which an application needing
5743 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5744 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5745 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5747 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5748 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5749 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5750 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5751 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5752 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5753 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5754 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5755 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5757 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5758 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5759 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5760 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5763 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5764 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5765 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5766 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5767 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5768 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5769 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5770 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5771 will be added elsewhere.
5774 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5775 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5776 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5777 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5780 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5781 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5782 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5783 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5784 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5785 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5786 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5787 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5788 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5789 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5790 to produce the required SET OF.
5793 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5794 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5795 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5798 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5799 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5800 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5801 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5802 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5803 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5806 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5807 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5808 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5811 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5812 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5813 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5816 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5817 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5818 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5819 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5820 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5823 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5824 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5827 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5828 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5829 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5830 certifcates and CRLs.
5833 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5834 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5835 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5838 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5839 entries for variables.
5842 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5843 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5844 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5845 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5848 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5849 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5850 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5851 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5852 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5853 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5856 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5857 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5859 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5860 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5861 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5864 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5868 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5869 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5870 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5871 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5872 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5873 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5876 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5879 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5880 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5881 for now but they will eventually go away.
5884 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5885 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5886 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5887 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5888 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5889 has also been converted to the new form.
5892 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5893 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5894 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5895 for negative moduli.
5898 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5899 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5902 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5906 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5907 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5908 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5909 type-specific callbacks.
5912 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5914 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5915 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5917 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5918 in sections depending on the subject.
5921 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5925 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5926 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5927 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5928 be handled deterministically).
5929 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5931 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5932 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5933 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5936 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5939 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5940 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5941 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5942 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5943 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5946 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5947 sign of the number in question.
5949 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5951 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5952 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5953 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5954 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5955 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5958 *) New function BN_swap.
5961 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5962 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5963 results on negative inputs.
5966 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5967 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5968 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5971 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5972 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5973 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5974 and add new functions:
5983 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5987 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5989 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5990 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5992 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5993 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5994 be reduced modulo m.
5995 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5998 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5999 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
6000 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
6002 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
6003 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
6004 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
6005 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
6006 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
6007 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
6012 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
6013 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
6014 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
6015 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
6016 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
6018 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
6019 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
6020 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
6024 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
6027 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
6028 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
6031 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
6032 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
6033 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
6034 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
6038 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
6041 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
6044 *) Add the following functions:
6046 ENGINE_load_cswift()
6048 ENGINE_load_atalla()
6050 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
6052 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
6053 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
6054 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
6055 libraries unless it's really needed.
6057 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
6058 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
6059 declarations (they differed!).
6062 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
6065 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
6068 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
6071 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
6072 identity, and test if they are actually available.
6075 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
6076 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
6077 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
6079 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
6080 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
6083 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
6086 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
6089 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
6092 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
6093 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
6094 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
6096 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
6097 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
6098 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
6099 different shared library filenames on each system.
6102 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
6105 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
6106 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
6107 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
6109 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
6112 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
6113 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
6114 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
6115 binary backward compatibility.
6116 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
6117 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
6118 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
6122 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
6123 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
6124 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
6125 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
6129 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
6132 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
6133 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
6134 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
6135 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
6139 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
6142 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6144 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6145 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6146 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6148 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6150 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6152 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6153 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6156 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6158 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6160 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6161 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6163 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6164 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6168 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6169 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6173 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6174 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6175 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6176 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6178 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6179 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6182 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6184 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6185 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6186 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6187 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6190 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6191 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6192 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6193 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6194 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6196 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6197 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6198 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6199 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6200 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6201 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6202 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6203 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6204 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6207 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6209 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6210 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6211 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6212 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6213 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6215 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6216 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6217 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6219 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6221 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6222 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6223 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6224 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6225 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6226 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6229 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6230 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6231 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6232 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6233 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6236 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6237 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6238 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6240 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6241 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6242 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6246 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6247 being properly terminated.
6250 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6251 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6252 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6253 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6255 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6256 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6257 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6258 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6259 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6260 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6261 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6263 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6265 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6266 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6269 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6270 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6271 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6272 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6273 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6274 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6275 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6276 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6278 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6279 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6280 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6281 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6282 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6284 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6285 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6288 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6290 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6291 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6292 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6294 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6296 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6297 and get fix the header length calculation.
6298 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6299 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6302 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6303 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6304 assertions could call abort()).
6305 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6307 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6309 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6310 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6311 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6313 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6315 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6316 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6317 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6320 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6324 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6325 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6326 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6328 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6329 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6330 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6331 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6332 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6336 *) Changes in security patch:
6338 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6339 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6340 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6343 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6344 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6345 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6346 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6347 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6349 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6351 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6353 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6354 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6355 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6357 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6358 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6359 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6361 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6362 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6363 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6365 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6367 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6368 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6369 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6371 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6372 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6374 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6375 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6376 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6377 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6378 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6379 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6382 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6383 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6384 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6385 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6388 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6391 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6392 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6393 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6394 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6395 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6396 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6398 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6399 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6400 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6401 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6402 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6405 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6406 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6407 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6408 BN_generate_prime().)
6410 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6411 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6412 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6416 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6417 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6420 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6421 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6422 when using non-blocking I/O.
6423 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6425 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6426 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6428 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6429 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6432 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6433 configuration for the versions before that.
6434 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6436 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6437 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6438 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6439 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6442 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6443 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6444 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6447 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6451 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6452 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6453 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6455 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6456 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6458 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6459 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6460 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6461 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6462 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6463 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6464 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6467 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6468 using a local variable.
6469 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6471 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6472 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6473 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6475 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6478 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6479 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6481 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6482 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6483 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6485 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6487 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6488 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6489 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6490 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6493 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6497 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6498 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6499 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6500 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6501 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6503 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6504 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6505 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6507 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6508 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6509 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6511 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6512 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6513 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6514 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6516 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6517 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6518 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6520 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6522 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6523 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6525 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6527 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6528 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6529 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6530 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6532 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6533 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6534 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6535 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6537 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6538 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6540 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6541 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6542 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6545 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6546 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6547 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6549 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6551 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6552 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6553 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6554 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6555 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6556 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6557 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6560 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6561 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6562 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6563 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6565 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6566 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6567 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6568 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6569 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6570 the client will at least see that alert.
6573 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6577 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6578 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6579 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6581 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6582 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6583 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6584 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6587 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6588 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6589 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6591 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6592 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6593 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6594 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6595 may leak via logfiles.)
6597 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6598 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6599 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6600 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6604 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6605 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6608 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6609 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6610 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6611 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6612 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6615 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6616 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6618 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6619 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6620 followed by modular reduction.
6621 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6623 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6624 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6627 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6628 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6629 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6630 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6633 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6636 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6637 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6640 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6641 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6642 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6643 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6644 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6645 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6647 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6649 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6650 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6651 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6652 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6653 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6655 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6658 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6659 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6660 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6661 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6662 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6663 to allow the necessary settings.
6666 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6667 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6668 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6669 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6672 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6673 dh->length and always used
6675 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6677 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6678 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6679 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6680 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6681 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6686 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6688 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6694 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6695 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6696 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6697 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6699 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6700 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6701 always reject numbers >= n.
6704 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6705 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6706 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6707 variable) is not atomic.
6710 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6711 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6712 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6713 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6715 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6716 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6718 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6720 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6722 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6725 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6727 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6728 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6729 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6730 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6731 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6732 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6733 to traverse all of 'state'.
6735 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6736 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6737 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6739 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6740 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6742 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6743 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6744 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6745 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6746 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6747 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6748 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6749 further strengthens the PRNG.
6752 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6755 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6756 an error message in this case.
6759 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6762 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6763 positive and less than q.
6766 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6767 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6769 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6771 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6772 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6776 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6778 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6779 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6780 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6781 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6782 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6783 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6784 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6787 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6788 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6789 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6790 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6792 Both problems are now fixed.
6795 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6796 (previously it was 1024).
6799 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6800 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6803 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6806 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6807 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6808 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6811 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6812 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6813 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6814 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6815 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6816 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6817 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6818 environment variables.
6820 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6821 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6822 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6825 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6826 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6827 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6828 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6829 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6830 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6833 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6837 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6839 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6840 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6842 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6843 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6844 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6845 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6849 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6850 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6851 amount of data available.
6852 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6853 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6855 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6856 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6857 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6858 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6861 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6862 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6866 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6867 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6868 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6869 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6872 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6875 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6878 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6879 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6881 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6883 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6884 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6885 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6886 (but broken) behaviour.
6889 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6891 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6893 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6894 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6897 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6901 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6902 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6904 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6907 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6908 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6909 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6911 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6912 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6913 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6916 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6917 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6920 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6921 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6923 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6925 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6927 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6928 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6929 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6930 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6933 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6936 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6937 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6938 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6940 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6943 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6945 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6946 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6947 but the code is actually correct.
6950 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6951 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6952 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6953 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6954 and leaves the highest bit random.
6955 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6957 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6958 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6959 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6960 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6961 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6962 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6963 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6966 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6969 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6970 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6973 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6974 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6975 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6976 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6980 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6981 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6982 and break the signature.
6984 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6986 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6990 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6991 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6992 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6993 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6994 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6997 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6998 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
7000 *) ./config script fixes.
7001 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
7003 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
7006 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
7007 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
7008 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
7009 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
7010 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
7012 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
7013 call failed, free the DSA structure.
7016 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
7017 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
7020 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
7021 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
7022 when writing a 32767 byte record.
7023 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
7025 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
7026 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
7028 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
7029 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
7030 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
7031 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
7032 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
7034 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
7037 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
7040 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
7043 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
7046 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
7047 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
7050 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
7051 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
7052 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
7053 result of the server certificate verification.)
7056 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
7057 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
7058 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
7062 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
7063 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
7064 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
7065 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
7066 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
7067 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
7068 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
7069 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
7072 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
7073 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
7074 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
7075 happening the other way round.
7078 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
7079 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
7082 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
7083 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
7084 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
7085 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
7088 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
7089 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
7091 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
7093 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
7094 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
7095 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
7098 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
7100 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
7102 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
7106 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
7108 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
7109 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
7110 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
7111 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
7112 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
7114 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
7115 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
7119 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
7122 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
7124 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
7125 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
7126 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
7127 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
7128 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
7129 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
7130 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
7131 by the Finished messages.
7134 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
7135 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
7137 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
7138 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
7139 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
7140 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
7141 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7145 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7146 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7147 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7148 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7149 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7150 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7151 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7152 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7153 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7157 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7158 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7159 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7160 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7162 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7163 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7164 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7165 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7166 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7169 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7170 been tested well enough.
7173 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7174 it can return incorrect results.
7175 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7176 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7179 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7180 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7181 include zero length content when signing messages.
7184 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7185 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7188 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7191 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7195 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7196 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7197 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7198 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7199 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7200 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7203 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7204 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7206 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7207 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7209 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7210 random number < q in the DSA library.
7213 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7214 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7215 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7216 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7217 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7218 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7219 just makes things more complicated.)
7222 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7226 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7227 work better on such systems.
7228 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7230 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7231 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7232 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7235 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7236 if there was more than one signature.
7237 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7239 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7240 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7241 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7242 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7245 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7246 rather than always using the current time.
7249 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7250 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7251 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7252 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7253 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7254 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7256 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7257 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7259 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7261 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7262 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7263 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7264 the same hash value.
7266 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7267 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7268 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7269 with X509_STORE internally.
7271 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7272 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7274 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7275 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7276 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7277 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7278 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7279 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7280 entirely (maybe later...).
7282 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7284 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7285 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7286 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7287 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7288 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7289 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7290 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7291 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7293 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7294 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7296 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7297 to customise the verify behaviour.
7300 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7301 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7304 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7305 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7306 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7307 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7308 request is improperly encoded.
7311 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7312 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7315 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7316 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7318 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7319 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7323 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7324 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7325 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7328 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7329 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7330 BIO/fp routines also added.
7333 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7334 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7336 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7337 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7338 demos/state_machine.
7341 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7342 generation and verification.
7345 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7346 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7347 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7348 encode and decode it manually.
7351 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7353 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7355 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7356 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7357 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7358 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7360 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7361 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7362 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7363 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7364 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7367 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7370 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7371 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7372 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7374 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7375 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7376 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7377 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7378 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7379 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7380 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7381 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7383 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7384 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7386 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7388 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7389 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7390 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7394 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7395 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7396 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7397 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7401 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7403 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7406 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7407 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7408 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7409 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7410 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7411 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7412 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7413 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7414 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7415 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7416 short or long names are found.
7419 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7420 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7422 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7423 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7424 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7425 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7427 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7428 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7429 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7430 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7433 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7434 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7435 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7438 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7439 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7440 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7441 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7442 to allow the various flags to be set.
7445 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7446 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7447 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7448 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7449 dates to be checked.
7452 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7453 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7454 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7457 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7458 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7459 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7462 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7463 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7466 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7467 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7468 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7469 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7470 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7471 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7474 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7475 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7479 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7483 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7484 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7485 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7486 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7487 form signing output easier to verify.
7490 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7493 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7494 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7495 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7496 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7497 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7498 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7499 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7500 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7501 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7502 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7505 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7507 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7508 the syntax given in objects.README.
7509 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7511 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7514 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7515 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7516 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7517 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7518 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7519 consistent name changes.
7522 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7525 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7526 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7527 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7528 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7531 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7532 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7533 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7537 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7538 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7539 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7540 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7543 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7544 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7545 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7546 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7547 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7548 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7549 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7550 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7551 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7552 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7553 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7556 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7557 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7558 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7559 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7560 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7561 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7562 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7563 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7564 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7565 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7568 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7569 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7570 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7571 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7573 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7574 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7575 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7576 omit any duplicate addresses.
7579 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7580 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7583 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7584 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7585 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7586 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7587 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7590 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7592 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7593 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7594 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7595 Free => OPENSSL_free
7598 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7599 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7602 *) CygWin32 support.
7603 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7605 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7606 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7607 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7608 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7609 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7613 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7614 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7615 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7616 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7617 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7618 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7619 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7622 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7623 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7624 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7625 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7626 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7627 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7628 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7629 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7630 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7631 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7632 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7635 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7636 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7637 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7638 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7639 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7641 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7642 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7643 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7644 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7645 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7647 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7650 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7651 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7652 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7653 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7655 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7657 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7660 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7661 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7662 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7665 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7666 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7667 any installed hardware versions can.
7670 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7671 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7672 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7676 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7677 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7678 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7679 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7680 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7682 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7683 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7686 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7687 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7690 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7691 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7692 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7696 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7699 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7700 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7701 but no ssl client purpose.
7702 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7704 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7705 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7706 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7707 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7708 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7709 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7710 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7711 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7712 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7713 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7714 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7717 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7718 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7719 be obtained from the error queue.
7722 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7723 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7724 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7725 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7728 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7731 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7732 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7733 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7734 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7735 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7738 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7739 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7740 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7741 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7742 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7745 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7746 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7747 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7749 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7751 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7752 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7753 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7754 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7755 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7756 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7757 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7758 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7759 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7760 or "the configuration storage API"...
7762 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7764 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7765 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7767 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7769 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7771 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7772 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7773 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7774 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7775 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7776 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7777 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7779 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7780 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7783 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7784 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7785 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7786 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7789 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7790 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7791 them in a portable way.
7792 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7794 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7796 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7798 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7799 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7801 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7802 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7803 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7806 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7807 was larger than the MD block size.
7808 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7810 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7811 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7812 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7813 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7817 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7818 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7819 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7821 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7823 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7825 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7826 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7827 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7828 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7829 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7830 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7832 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7833 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7835 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7836 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7839 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7842 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7843 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7845 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7846 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7847 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7848 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7851 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7852 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7853 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7854 does not suppress any output.
7857 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7858 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7859 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7860 with all the associated security issues.
7862 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7863 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7864 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7865 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7866 use the value in the default purpose.
7869 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7870 and fix a memory leak.
7873 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7874 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7875 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7876 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7879 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7880 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7881 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7882 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7885 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7886 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7887 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7890 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7891 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7894 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7895 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7899 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7900 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7903 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7904 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7905 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7908 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7909 number generation fails.
7912 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7915 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7916 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7918 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7921 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7922 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7924 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7925 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7927 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7929 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7930 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7933 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7934 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7936 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7937 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7940 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7941 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7942 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7943 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7944 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7945 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7947 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7948 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7949 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7953 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7954 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7955 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7956 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7957 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7958 counter, some don't.)
7959 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7960 counters or duplicate objects.
7963 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7964 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7967 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7968 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7969 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7971 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7972 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7973 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7977 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7978 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7981 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7982 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7983 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7987 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7988 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7989 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7992 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7993 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7994 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7995 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7996 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7997 should work without changes.
8000 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
8001 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
8002 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
8003 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
8004 must be defined. E.g.,
8005 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
8006 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
8007 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
8008 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
8010 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
8014 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
8015 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
8016 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
8019 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
8020 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
8021 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
8022 request header lines. Some software needs this.
8025 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
8026 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
8027 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
8028 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
8029 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
8030 is prompted for as usual.
8033 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
8034 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
8035 autodetect the card and use it if present.
8036 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
8038 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
8039 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
8040 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
8041 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
8044 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
8047 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
8051 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
8054 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
8057 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
8061 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
8064 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
8067 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
8068 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
8071 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
8072 options to produce them.
8075 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
8076 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
8079 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
8083 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
8084 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
8085 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
8086 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
8087 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
8088 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
8089 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
8092 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
8095 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
8096 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
8097 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
8100 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
8101 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
8103 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
8104 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
8107 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
8108 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
8109 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
8113 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
8114 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
8116 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
8117 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
8118 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
8119 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
8120 generation becomes much faster.
8122 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
8123 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
8124 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
8125 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
8126 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
8127 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
8128 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
8129 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
8130 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
8131 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
8134 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
8135 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
8136 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
8137 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
8138 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
8139 trial division stage.
8142 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8146 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8149 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8152 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8153 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8154 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8158 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8159 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8160 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8163 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8164 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8165 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8166 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8168 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8169 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8172 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8175 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8176 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8177 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8178 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8181 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8182 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8183 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8186 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8187 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8188 (instead of parameters) in future.
8191 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8192 when a new cipher list is set.
8195 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8196 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8199 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8200 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8201 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8203 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8204 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8205 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8206 an error is flagged.
8208 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8209 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8210 the readability was also increased :-)
8211 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8213 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8214 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8215 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8216 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8220 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8221 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8224 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8225 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8226 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
8227 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8230 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8231 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8232 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8233 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8234 because they handle more complex structures.)
8237 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8238 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8239 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8240 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8242 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8243 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8244 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8245 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8246 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8247 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8248 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8251 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8252 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8253 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8254 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8255 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8258 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8261 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8262 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8263 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8264 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8265 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8268 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8272 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8273 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8274 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8275 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8278 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8281 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8282 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8283 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8284 international characters are used.
8286 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8287 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8288 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8292 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8293 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8294 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8297 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8298 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8299 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8300 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8301 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8302 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8304 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8305 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8306 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8307 be handled by the string table functions.
8309 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8310 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8311 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8312 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8313 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8317 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8318 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8319 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8320 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8321 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8323 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8324 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8325 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8326 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8329 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8330 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8331 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8332 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8333 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8337 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8338 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8339 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8340 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8341 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8342 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8343 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8344 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8346 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8347 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8348 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8351 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8352 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8353 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8354 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8355 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8356 support to pkcs8 application.
8359 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8360 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8361 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8362 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8363 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8364 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8367 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8368 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8369 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8370 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8371 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8375 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8376 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8377 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8378 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8382 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8383 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8384 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8385 and any application specific purposes.
8387 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8388 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8389 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8390 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8391 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8392 if the certificate is self signed.
8395 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8396 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8399 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8400 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8401 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8402 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8405 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8406 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8407 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8408 Update documentation.
8411 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8412 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8413 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8414 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8415 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8418 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8420 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8422 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8423 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8424 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8425 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8426 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8427 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8428 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8429 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8430 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8431 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8433 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8435 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8436 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8437 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8438 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8439 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8441 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8442 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8443 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8444 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8445 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8446 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8447 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8448 request additional information:
8449 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8450 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8452 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8453 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8454 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8457 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8458 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8461 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8464 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8465 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8467 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8468 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8469 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8473 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8474 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8475 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8477 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8478 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8479 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8480 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8481 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8482 included in OpenSSL.
8485 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8486 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8487 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8488 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8489 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8490 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8493 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8497 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8498 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8499 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8500 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8501 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8505 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8509 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8510 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8511 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8512 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8513 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8514 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8515 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8516 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8517 be maintained manually.
8519 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8520 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8521 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8522 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8523 work because people forget to call this function]
8524 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8525 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8526 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8529 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8530 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8531 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8532 should be discouraged from doing it.
8535 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8536 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8537 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8538 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8539 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8540 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8543 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8544 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8545 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8547 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8548 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8549 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8551 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8552 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8553 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8554 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8555 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8556 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8558 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8559 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8560 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8562 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8563 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8566 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8567 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8568 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8569 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8572 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8575 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8576 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8577 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8578 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8579 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8580 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8581 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8582 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8583 keys so we should be OK.
8585 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8586 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8587 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8588 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8589 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8590 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8591 stay in the name of compatibility.
8593 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8594 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8595 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8597 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8598 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8599 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8600 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8601 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8602 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8606 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8607 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8608 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8609 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8610 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8611 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8612 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8613 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8614 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8615 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8616 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8617 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8618 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8621 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8624 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8625 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8626 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8627 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8628 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8629 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8630 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8631 openssl verify ss.pem
8632 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8633 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8637 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8638 (and add it to external session representation).
8639 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8640 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8641 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8642 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8643 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8644 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8646 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8648 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8649 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8650 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8651 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8653 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8654 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8655 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8658 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8659 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8660 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8664 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8665 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8666 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8668 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8669 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8670 certificate auxiliary information.
8673 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8677 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8678 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8679 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8680 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8681 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8682 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8683 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8686 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8687 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8690 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8691 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8692 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8693 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8696 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8699 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8700 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8703 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8704 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8705 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8706 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8707 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8708 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8709 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8710 using the new 'x509' options.
8712 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8713 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8714 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8715 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8719 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8720 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8721 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8722 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8723 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8726 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8727 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8728 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8729 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8730 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8731 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8732 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8733 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8734 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8735 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8738 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8739 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8740 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8741 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8742 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8743 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8744 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8747 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8748 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8749 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8750 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8751 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8752 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8753 openssl.cnf for more info.
8756 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8757 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8758 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8759 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8760 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8761 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8762 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8763 md should be large enough anyway.
8766 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8767 for handling the random seed file.
8769 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8771 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8774 x509 (when signing).
8775 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8776 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8777 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8779 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8780 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8781 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8782 that support '-rand'.
8785 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8786 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8789 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8790 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8793 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8794 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8795 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8796 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8800 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8801 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8802 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8803 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8806 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8807 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8808 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8809 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8810 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8811 print out all the purposes.
8814 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8818 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8819 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8820 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8821 single function call.
8824 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8825 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8828 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8829 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8830 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8833 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8834 when producing the local key id.
8835 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8837 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8838 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8839 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8843 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8844 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8845 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8846 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8849 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8850 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8851 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8852 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8854 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8855 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8856 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8857 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8859 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8860 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8861 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8862 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8863 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8864 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8865 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8866 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8867 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8868 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8869 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8870 trivial: move one line.
8871 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8873 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8874 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8875 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8876 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8877 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8878 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8879 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8880 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8881 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8882 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8883 with an event loop for example.
8886 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8887 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8888 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8889 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8890 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8891 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8892 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8893 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8894 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8897 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8898 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8899 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8900 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8901 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8902 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8905 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8906 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8907 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8908 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8910 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8911 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8912 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8913 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8917 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8918 (still largely untested)
8921 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8922 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8925 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8926 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8929 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8930 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8931 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8934 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8935 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8936 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8937 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8938 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8941 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8944 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8945 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8946 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8947 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8948 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8952 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8953 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8956 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8959 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8960 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8961 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8962 are otherwise ignored at present.
8965 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8966 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8967 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8968 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8969 copied until the next read.
8972 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8973 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8974 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8977 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8978 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8979 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8980 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8981 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8982 associated functions.
8985 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8986 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8987 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8988 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8989 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8990 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8991 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8992 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8993 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8997 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8998 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8999 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
9000 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
9003 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
9004 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
9005 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
9006 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
9007 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
9011 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
9012 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
9016 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
9017 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
9018 extensions to be obtained and added.
9021 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
9022 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
9025 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
9027 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9028 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9030 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
9031 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
9033 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
9037 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
9038 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
9039 DH parameters contain its length).
9041 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
9042 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
9043 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
9044 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
9045 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
9046 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
9047 utter importance to use
9048 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9050 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
9051 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
9052 attacks may become possible!
9055 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
9058 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
9059 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
9062 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
9063 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
9064 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
9068 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
9069 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
9070 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
9071 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
9072 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
9073 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
9074 private key operations.
9077 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
9080 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
9081 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
9083 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
9084 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
9085 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
9086 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
9087 the password callback is called.
9088 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
9090 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
9092 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
9093 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
9094 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
9095 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
9096 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
9097 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
9100 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
9101 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
9102 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
9103 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
9104 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
9105 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
9108 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
9111 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
9112 delete an unused file.
9115 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
9116 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
9117 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
9118 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
9121 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
9122 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
9123 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
9127 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
9128 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
9129 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
9131 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
9132 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
9133 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
9134 comparison" warnings.
9135 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
9138 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
9139 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
9140 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9143 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9144 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9146 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9147 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9149 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9150 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9151 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9153 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9154 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9155 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9156 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9157 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9159 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9161 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9162 The interface is as follows:
9163 Applications can use
9164 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9165 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9166 "off" is now the default.
9167 The library internally uses
9168 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9169 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9170 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9172 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9173 even the default) are now avoided.
9175 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9176 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9177 than just having a counter.
9179 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9181 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9185 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9186 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9187 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9188 Initial "mode" flags are:
9190 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9191 a single record has been written.
9192 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9193 retries use the same buffer location.
9194 (But all of the contents must be
9198 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9201 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9202 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9204 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9205 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9206 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9209 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9210 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9212 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9214 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9215 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9216 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9217 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9219 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9220 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9222 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9223 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9224 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9225 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9226 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9227 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9230 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9231 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9232 necessary function names.
9235 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9236 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9237 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9238 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9241 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9242 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9243 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9246 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9247 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9248 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9249 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9251 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9255 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9256 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9257 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9260 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9261 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9265 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9266 for the encoded length.
9267 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9269 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9272 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9273 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9274 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9275 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9278 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9279 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9280 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9282 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9283 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9284 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9288 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9289 to use the new extension code.
9292 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9293 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9294 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9298 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9299 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9300 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9304 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9307 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9308 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9309 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9312 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9313 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9314 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9315 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9318 *) DES library cleanups.
9321 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9322 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9323 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9324 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9325 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9329 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9330 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9333 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9334 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9335 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9336 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9337 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9338 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9339 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9340 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9341 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9344 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9345 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9346 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9347 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9348 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9349 value doesn't matter.
9352 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9356 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9357 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9358 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9359 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9361 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9364 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9365 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9366 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9368 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9369 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9371 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9374 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9377 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9380 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9384 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9386 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9388 *) Updated some demos.
9389 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9391 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9394 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9397 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9400 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9401 instead of using a fixed path.
9404 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9407 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9411 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9413 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9414 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9415 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9417 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9418 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9419 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9420 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9421 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9422 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9423 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9424 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9425 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9426 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9429 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9430 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9433 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9434 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9435 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9436 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9437 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9439 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9442 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9443 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9444 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9447 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9450 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9451 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9452 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9453 key elements as negative integers.
9456 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9457 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9460 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9462 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9463 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9464 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9467 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9468 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9469 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9470 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9471 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9474 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9477 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9478 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9479 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9480 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9482 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9483 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9484 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9486 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9487 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9488 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9489 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9490 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9491 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9492 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9493 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9494 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9496 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9497 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9498 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9499 does not influence s as it used to.
9501 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9502 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9503 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9504 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9505 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9506 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9509 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9510 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9511 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9515 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9516 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9517 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9521 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9522 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9523 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9527 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9528 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9531 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9532 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9537 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9538 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9540 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9541 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9543 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9546 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9549 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9550 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9552 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9553 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9554 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9558 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9559 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9560 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9561 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9562 now it really counts the depth.
9565 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9566 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9567 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9568 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9569 didn't match the private key).
9571 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9572 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9573 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9576 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9579 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9583 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9584 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9585 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9588 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9591 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9592 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9593 such as /usr/local/bin.
9596 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9597 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9599 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9602 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9603 extension adding in x509 utility.
9606 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9609 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9613 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9616 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9617 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9618 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9619 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9620 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9621 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9622 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9623 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9624 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9625 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9628 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9631 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9632 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9635 *) Fix some race conditions.
9638 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9639 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9642 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9645 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9646 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9647 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9648 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9650 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9651 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9653 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9654 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9655 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9657 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9658 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9660 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9663 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9664 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9666 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9669 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9670 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9672 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9673 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9676 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9677 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9680 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9681 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9684 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9685 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9688 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9689 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9692 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9693 support typesafe stack.
9696 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9697 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9699 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9700 old X509V3 handling code.
9703 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9706 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9709 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9712 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9713 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9715 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9716 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9717 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9718 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9719 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9722 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9723 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9724 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9725 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9726 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9728 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9729 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9730 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9731 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9733 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9734 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9735 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9736 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9738 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9739 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9740 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9741 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9742 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9743 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9746 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9747 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9750 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9751 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9754 *) Tweaks to Configure
9755 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9757 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9761 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9764 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9765 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9768 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9769 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9770 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9773 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9776 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9777 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9780 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9781 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9782 to library startup routines.
9785 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9786 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9787 codes along the way.
9790 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9791 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9792 objects to objects.h
9795 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9796 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9799 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9800 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9802 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9803 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9804 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9806 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9807 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9808 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9810 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9811 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9812 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9815 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9817 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9818 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9821 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9822 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9823 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9824 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9825 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9827 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9828 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9829 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9831 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9833 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9835 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9837 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9838 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9840 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9841 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9842 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9843 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9845 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9848 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9849 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9850 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9851 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9854 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9855 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9856 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9859 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9860 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9861 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9862 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9863 installed as `perl').
9864 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9866 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9867 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9869 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9870 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9871 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9872 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9873 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9876 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9879 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9880 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9881 is horrible: I feel ill....
9884 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9885 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9886 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9887 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9890 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9891 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9893 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9894 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9895 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9896 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9898 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9899 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9900 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9901 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9902 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9903 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9905 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9907 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9908 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9910 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9911 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9913 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9916 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9917 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9921 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9922 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9923 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9924 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9925 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9926 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9927 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9928 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9929 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9930 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9931 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9933 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9936 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9937 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9938 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9939 for linking it into DSOs.
9940 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9942 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9946 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9947 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9948 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9949 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9950 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9951 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9953 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9954 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9955 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9956 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9957 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9958 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9959 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9961 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9962 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9963 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9967 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9968 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9969 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9970 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9973 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9974 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9975 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9976 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9977 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9981 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9982 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9983 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9984 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9985 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9987 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9988 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9989 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9991 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9992 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9994 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9995 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9996 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9997 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9998 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
10001 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
10002 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
10003 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
10004 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
10005 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
10006 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
10007 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
10010 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
10012 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
10013 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
10016 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
10017 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
10019 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
10020 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
10023 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
10024 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
10025 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
10026 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
10027 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
10029 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
10030 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
10031 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
10032 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
10033 no way to reconfigure them.
10034 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
10035 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
10036 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
10037 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
10038 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
10039 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10041 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
10042 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
10043 recognized by the users.
10044 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10046 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
10047 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
10048 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
10049 already masked variable.
10050 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10052 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
10053 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10055 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
10056 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
10057 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
10058 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10060 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
10061 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
10062 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10064 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
10065 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
10066 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
10067 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
10068 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
10069 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
10070 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
10071 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
10073 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10075 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
10076 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
10077 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10079 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
10080 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
10084 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
10085 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
10087 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
10088 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
10089 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
10090 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
10093 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
10096 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
10097 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10099 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
10102 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
10103 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
10106 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
10107 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
10110 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
10111 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
10112 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
10113 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
10114 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
10115 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
10116 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
10119 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
10120 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10122 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
10123 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
10124 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
10125 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
10126 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10128 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
10129 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
10130 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
10133 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
10134 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
10138 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
10139 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
10140 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10142 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10143 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10144 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10145 build instructions.
10148 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10149 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10150 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10151 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10154 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10155 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10156 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10157 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10160 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10161 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10162 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10163 so it wasn't spotted.
10164 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10166 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10167 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10168 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10169 vectors if you have them.
10172 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10173 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10176 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10177 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10178 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10179 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10181 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10182 it will update them.
10185 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10186 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10187 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10188 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10189 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10190 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10191 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10192 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10194 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10195 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10196 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10197 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10198 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10199 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10200 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10201 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10202 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10203 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10205 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10206 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10207 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10208 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10209 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10212 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10216 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10217 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10219 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10220 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10222 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10223 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10226 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10227 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10229 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10230 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10232 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10235 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10239 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10240 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10241 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10242 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10244 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10247 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10250 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10253 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10254 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10257 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10258 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10262 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10263 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10266 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10267 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10268 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10271 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10272 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10273 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10274 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10275 properly to be processed.
10278 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10279 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10280 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10283 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10284 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10286 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10287 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10288 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10289 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10290 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10291 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10292 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10293 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10294 or delete all the .err files.
10297 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10298 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10299 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10300 to regenerate it if needed.
10301 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10302 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10304 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10305 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10307 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10308 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10309 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10310 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10311 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10314 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10315 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10317 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10318 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10320 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10321 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10322 error, but didn't set one).
10323 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10325 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10328 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10329 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10332 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10333 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10335 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10336 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10337 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10338 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10339 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10340 OID is not part of the table.
10343 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10344 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10347 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10350 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10351 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10355 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10356 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10358 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10360 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10362 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10363 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10365 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10366 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10368 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10369 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10371 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10372 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10375 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10376 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10379 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10380 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10382 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10383 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10385 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10386 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10388 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10389 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10391 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10392 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10393 unused in the certificate verification process.
10394 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10396 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10397 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10400 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10401 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10402 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10404 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10405 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10406 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10407 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10408 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10410 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10411 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10414 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10417 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10420 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10421 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10423 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10426 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10429 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10432 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10433 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10434 other error libraries.
10437 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10440 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10441 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10445 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10446 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10447 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10448 the new set of documenation files.
10449 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10451 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10452 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10453 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10454 number of arguments.
10455 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10457 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10460 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10461 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10462 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10464 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10467 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10471 unixware-2.0-pentium
10475 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10476 before they are needed.
10479 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10483 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10485 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10486 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10487 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10489 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10492 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10493 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10494 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10496 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10497 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10498 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10500 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10501 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10502 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10504 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10505 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10507 *) Updated the README file.
10508 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10510 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10511 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10512 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10514 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10515 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10516 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10518 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10519 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10520 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10521 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10522 o removed obsolete TODO file
10523 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10524 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10526 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10527 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10528 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

10531 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10532 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10534 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10537 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10538 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10539 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10541 [The OpenSSL Project]
10544 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10546 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10549 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10552 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10553 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10556 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10557 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10561 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10563 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10565 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10568 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10571 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10574 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10577 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10580 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10583 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10586 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10589 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10592 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10595 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10598 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10601 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10604 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10607 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10610 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10613 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10616 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10617 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10618 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10621 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10622 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10625 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10628 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10631 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10632 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10635 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10638 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10641 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
10642 bytes sent in the client random.
