5 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
8 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
9 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
12 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
15 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
16 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
17 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
20 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
21 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
24 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
25 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
28 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
29 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
30 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
31 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
32 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
33 content types and variants.
36 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
39 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
40 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
41 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
42 files from the associated perl scripts.
45 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
46 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
47 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
49 *) s390x assembler pack.
52 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
56 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
57 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
58 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
59 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
60 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
61 to use. For example, specify an option
63 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
65 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
66 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
67 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
68 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
69 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
70 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
72 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
73 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
74 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
75 return non-zero for success.
77 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
80 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
81 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
85 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
88 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
89 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
90 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
91 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
92 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
93 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
94 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
95 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
96 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
98 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
99 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
100 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
101 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
102 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
103 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
105 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
106 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
107 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
108 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
109 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
110 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
114 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
117 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
119 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
120 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
121 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
124 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
125 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
128 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
129 protection in servers so again support should be possible
130 with no application modification.
132 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
133 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
135 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
136 or server extensions to be examined.
138 This work was sponsored by Google.
141 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
142 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
143 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
145 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
146 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
148 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
150 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
151 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
152 to output in BER and PEM format.
155 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
156 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
157 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
158 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
159 -macopt options to dgst utility.
162 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
163 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
164 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
168 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
169 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
170 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
171 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
172 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
173 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
174 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
175 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
178 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
179 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
180 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
181 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
183 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
184 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
185 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
189 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
190 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
191 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
192 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
193 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
194 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
195 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
196 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
197 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
199 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
200 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
201 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
202 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
203 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
204 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
205 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
206 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
207 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
208 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
209 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
212 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
213 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
214 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
216 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
217 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
221 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
222 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
223 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
226 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
227 it yet and it is largely untested.
230 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
233 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
234 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
235 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
238 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
241 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
242 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
243 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
244 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
247 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
248 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
249 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
250 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
251 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
254 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
255 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
258 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
259 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
260 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
261 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
264 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
265 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
266 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
267 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
270 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
271 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
274 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
275 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
276 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
277 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
280 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
281 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
282 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
285 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
289 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
290 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
293 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
294 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
295 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
299 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
300 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
301 to free up any added signature OIDs.
304 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
305 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
306 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
307 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
310 *) In addition to the numerical (unsigned long) thread ID, provide
311 for a pointer (void *) thread ID. This helps accomodate systems
312 that do not provide an unsigned long thread ID. OpenSSL assumes
313 it is in the same thread iff both the numerical and the pointer
314 thread ID agree; so applications are just required to define one
315 of them appropriately (e.g., by using a pointer to a per-thread
316 memory object malloc()ed by the application for the pointer-type
317 thread ID). Exactly analoguous to the existing functions
319 void CRYPTO_set_id_callback(unsigned long (*func)(void));
320 unsigned long (*CRYPTO_get_id_callback(void))(void);
321 unsigned long CRYPTO_thread_id(void);
323 we now have additional functions
325 void CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(void *(*func)(void));
326 void *(*CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(void))(void);
327 void *CRYPTO_thread_idptr(void);
329 also in <openssl/crypto.h>. The default value for
330 CRYPTO_thread_idptr() if the application has not provided its own
334 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
335 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
336 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
337 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
338 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
339 the array representation useful in a more general context.
342 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
343 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
344 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
345 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
346 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
348 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
349 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
350 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
351 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
352 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
355 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
356 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
357 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
358 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
360 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
361 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
362 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
363 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
364 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
370 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
371 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
375 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
376 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
379 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
380 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
383 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
384 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
385 functional reference processing.
388 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
389 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
393 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
394 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
395 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
398 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
399 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
400 application to support multiple signers.
403 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
407 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
408 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
409 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
410 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
411 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
414 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
418 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
419 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
420 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
421 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
425 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
426 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
427 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
428 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
429 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
430 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
431 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
432 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
435 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
436 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
437 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
438 between digests and public key types.
441 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
442 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
443 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
444 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
447 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
448 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
452 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
455 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
459 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
460 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
461 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
462 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
467 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
469 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
471 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
473 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
474 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
475 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
476 functionality for RSA.
479 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
480 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
481 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
484 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
485 key API, doesn't do much yet.
488 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
489 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
490 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
493 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
494 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
497 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
498 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
501 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
502 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
506 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
507 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
508 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
512 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
513 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
514 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
515 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
516 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
517 of public and private key structures.
520 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
521 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
524 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
525 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
526 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
529 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
533 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
534 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
536 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
538 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
540 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
541 and response verification functionality.
542 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
544 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
545 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
546 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
547 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
548 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
549 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
550 server_name extension.
552 New functions (subject to change):
555 SSL_get_servername_type()
558 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
560 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
561 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
562 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
563 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
564 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
566 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
568 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
569 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
570 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
571 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
572 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
573 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
576 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
578 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
581 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
582 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
583 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
584 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
585 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
588 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
589 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
593 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
594 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
595 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
596 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
599 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
600 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
601 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
602 using the maximum available value.
605 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
606 in addition to the text details.
609 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
610 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
611 handle several customised structures at all.
614 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
615 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
616 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
619 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
622 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
623 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
624 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
627 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
628 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
629 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
632 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
633 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
637 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
640 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
643 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [xx XXX xxxx]
645 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
648 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
651 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
653 This work was sponsored by Logica.
656 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
657 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.

663 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
665 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
666 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
667 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
668 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
670 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
671 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
674 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
676 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
677 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
678 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
680 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
682 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
683 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
684 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
685 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
688 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
689 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
690 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
691 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
692 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
693 invalid read after the end of 'db').
694 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
696 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
697 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
698 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
699 sets may exist with different names.
702 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
703 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
704 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
705 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
706 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
707 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
708 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
709 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
710 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
712 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
714 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
715 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
716 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
717 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>, Geoff Thorpe]
719 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
720 uncompresses any data passed through it.
723 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
724 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
727 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
728 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
729 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
730 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
731 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
732 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
736 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
737 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
738 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
742 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
743 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
744 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
745 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
746 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
747 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
748 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
749 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
751 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
752 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
753 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
754 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
755 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
756 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
757 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
759 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
760 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
761 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
762 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
763 to s_client and s_server.
766 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
769 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
770 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
771 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
772 + Fix ia64 assembler code
773 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
775 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
777 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
778 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
779 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
780 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
781 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
782 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
783 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
784 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
787 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
788 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
789 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
792 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
793 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
794 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
797 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
798 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
801 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
802 protection in servers so again support should be possible
803 with no application modification.
805 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
806 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
808 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
809 or server extensions to be examined.
811 This work was sponsored by Google.
814 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
815 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
816 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
817 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
818 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
819 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
820 server_name extension.
822 New functions (subject to change):
825 SSL_get_servername_type()
828 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
830 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
831 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
832 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
833 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
834 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
836 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
838 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
839 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
840 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
841 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
842 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
843 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
846 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
848 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
851 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
854 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
855 (which previously caused an internal error).
858 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
861 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
862 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
864 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
865 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
866 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
868 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
869 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
870 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
871 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
873 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
874 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
875 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
878 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
879 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
880 information. For detailed background information, see
881 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
882 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
883 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
884 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
885 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
886 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
887 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
888 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
889 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
890 remove a conditional branch.
892 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
893 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
894 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
895 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
896 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
897 remains as a deprecated alias.
899 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
900 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
901 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
902 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
904 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
905 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
906 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
907 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
908 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
909 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
910 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
911 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
913 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
915 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
916 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
917 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
918 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
919 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
920 with applications using a single external cache for quite
921 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
922 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
923 in a different context.
926 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
927 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
928 authentication-only ciphersuites.
931 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
933 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
934 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
935 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
936 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
937 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
940 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
941 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
942 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
943 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
944 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
945 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
948 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
949 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
950 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
951 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
952 message has informed the client about his choice.)
955 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
956 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
958 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
959 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
960 Improve header file function name parsing.
963 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
964 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
967 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
969 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
970 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
971 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
973 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
974 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
976 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
977 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
979 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
980 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
981 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
983 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
984 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
985 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
986 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
987 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
988 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
989 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
990 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
991 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
993 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
994 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
995 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
996 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
997 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
999 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1000 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1001 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1002 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1003 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1004 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1005 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1006 multiple values to extend the available space.
1010 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1012 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1013 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1015 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1018 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1019 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1020 undesirable limitations.
1021 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1023 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1024 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1025 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1026 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1027 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1028 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1029 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1032 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1034 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1035 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1036 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1038 The latter two were purportedly from
1039 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1042 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1043 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1044 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1047 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1048 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1051 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1052 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1053 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1054 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1056 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1057 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1058 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1061 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1062 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1063 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1064 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1065 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1066 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1069 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1071 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1072 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1075 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1076 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1078 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1079 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1080 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1081 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1084 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1085 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1088 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1089 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1090 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1091 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1092 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1093 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1094 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1098 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1099 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1100 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1101 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1104 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1105 under VC++ build system.
1108 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1109 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1112 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1114 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1115 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1116 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1117 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1118 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1120 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1121 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1122 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1124 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1127 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1128 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1131 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1132 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1134 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1137 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1138 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1140 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1141 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1144 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1145 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1149 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1151 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1154 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1157 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1158 key into the same file any more.
1161 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1164 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1165 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1167 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1168 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1171 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1172 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1173 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1174 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1175 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1176 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1178 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1179 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1180 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1183 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1184 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1185 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1186 - add new function for parameter creation
1187 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1188 BN_BLINDING parameters
1189 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1190 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1191 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1195 *) Add support for DTLS.
1196 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1198 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1199 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1202 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1203 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1206 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1207 the apps/openssl applications.
1210 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1211 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1212 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1215 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1216 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1218 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1219 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1221 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1222 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1223 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1224 avoid this algorithm.)
1228 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1229 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1230 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1233 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1234 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1237 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1238 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1239 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1242 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1244 The blank line is mandatory.
1248 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1249 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1253 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1254 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1256 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1257 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1258 to support policy checking and print out.
1261 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1262 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1263 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1264 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1266 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1269 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1270 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1272 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1273 implementation contributed by IBM.
1274 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1276 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1277 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1278 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1279 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1281 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1282 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1284 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1285 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1286 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1287 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1288 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1289 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1292 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1293 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1294 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1295 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1296 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1297 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1298 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1301 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1304 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1305 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1306 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1307 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1308 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1309 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1310 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1311 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1314 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1315 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1316 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1317 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1320 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1323 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1326 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1327 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1328 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1329 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1330 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1331 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1332 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1335 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1336 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1339 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1340 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1341 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1344 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1345 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1346 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1350 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1351 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1354 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1355 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1356 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1357 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1360 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1361 initialised value as BN_new().
1362 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1364 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1367 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1368 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1369 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1370 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1371 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1372 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1373 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1374 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1375 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1376 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1377 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1378 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1379 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1380 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1381 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1383 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1384 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1385 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1386 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1389 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1390 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1391 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1392 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1393 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1394 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1395 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1396 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1397 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1400 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1401 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1402 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1403 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1404 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1405 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1406 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1409 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1410 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1411 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1412 these have been updated also.
1415 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1416 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1417 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1418 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1419 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1423 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1424 structure of type "other".
1427 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1428 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1429 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1430 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1431 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1432 situation in the script.
1433 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1435 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1436 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1437 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1438 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1439 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1440 used as premaster secret.
1441 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1443 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1444 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1445 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1447 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1448 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1450 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1451 control of the error stack.
1454 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1457 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1458 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1459 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1460 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1463 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1464 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1465 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1468 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1469 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1470 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1474 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1475 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1476 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1477 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1480 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1481 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1482 the following flags are defined:
1484 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1485 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1486 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1489 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1490 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1491 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1492 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1496 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1497 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1498 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1499 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1500 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1503 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1504 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1505 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1508 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1509 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1510 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1511 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1512 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1513 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1516 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1520 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1523 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1526 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1529 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1530 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1531 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1532 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1533 default implementation more easily.
1536 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1540 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1541 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1544 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1545 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1546 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1547 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1549 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1550 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1551 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1552 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1555 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1556 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1560 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1561 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1562 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1563 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1564 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1565 scalar * generator).
1566 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1568 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1569 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1570 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1574 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1575 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1576 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1577 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1578 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1579 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1580 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1581 linker additions, eg;
1582 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1585 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1586 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1587 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1590 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1591 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1592 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1596 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1597 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1598 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1599 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1602 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1603 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1604 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1605 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1606 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1607 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1608 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1609 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1610 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1611 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1613 Example for using the new callback interface:
1615 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1619 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1621 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1622 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1623 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1624 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1625 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1626 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1631 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1632 available to TLS with the number defined in
1633 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1636 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1637 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1639 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1640 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1641 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1642 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1644 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1645 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1647 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1648 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1652 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1653 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1656 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1657 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1658 and a macro that behave like
1659 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1661 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1664 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1665 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1666 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1668 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1670 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1673 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1674 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1675 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1676 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1678 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1679 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1680 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1681 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1682 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1683 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1684 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1685 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1687 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1688 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1691 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1692 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1694 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1695 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1696 files while avoiding the low level API.
1698 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1699 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1700 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1701 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1703 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1704 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1705 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1706 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1707 instead of the low level API.
1710 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1711 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1712 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1713 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1714 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1717 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1718 down to the template encoder.
1721 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1722 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1725 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1726 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1727 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1728 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1730 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1731 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1733 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1734 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1736 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1737 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1740 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1741 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1742 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1745 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1746 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1748 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1749 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1751 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1752 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1755 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1759 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1760 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1761 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1762 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1763 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1764 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1766 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1767 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1770 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1771 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1772 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1773 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1774 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1775 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1776 various internal method names.)
1778 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1779 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1781 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1782 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1784 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1785 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1787 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1788 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1789 methods are undefined.
1791 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1792 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1794 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1795 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1796 length of the modulus.
1798 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1799 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1801 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1802 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1804 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1805 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1807 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1808 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1809 used) in the following functions [macros]:
1812 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
1813 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
1814 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
1815 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
1817 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
1818 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
1819 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
1820 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
1822 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1823 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1825 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1826 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1827 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1828 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1829 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1831 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1832 This applies to the following functions:
1837 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
1838 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1840 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
1841 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
1845 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1850 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1852 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1853 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1854 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1855 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1856 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1858 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1859 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1861 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1862 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1863 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1865 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1866 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1868 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1869 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1870 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1871 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1872 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1874 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1876 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1877 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1878 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1879 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1880 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1881 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1882 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1883 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1884 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1885 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1886 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1887 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1889 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1892 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1893 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1894 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1895 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1897 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1898 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1899 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1900 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1905 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1906 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1907 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1908 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1909 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1911 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1912 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1913 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1914 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1915 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1916 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1917 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1918 adding different types of curves.
1919 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1921 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1922 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1923 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1926 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1927 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1929 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1930 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1931 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1932 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1934 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1936 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1937 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1939 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1940 library. Most notably,
1941 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1942 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1943 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1944 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1945 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1946 extracted before the specific public key;
1947 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1948 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1950 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1951 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1953 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1954 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1955 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1956 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1958 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1959 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1960 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1962 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1963 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1964 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1965 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1966 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1967 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1971 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
1973 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1974 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1975 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1976 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1977 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1978 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1979 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1980 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1981 in a different context.
1984 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
1986 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
1988 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
1990 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1991 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1992 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1995 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
1996 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1997 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2000 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2003 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2004 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2007 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2008 run algorithm test programs.
2011 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2014 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2015 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2016 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2017 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2018 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2021 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2022 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2025 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2027 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2028 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2029 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2031 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2032 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2034 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2035 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2037 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2038 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2039 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2041 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2042 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2043 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2044 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2045 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2046 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2047 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2050 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2052 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2053 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2055 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2056 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2057 undesirable limitations.
2058 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2060 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2062 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2063 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2064 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2066 The latter two were purportedly from
2067 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2070 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2071 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2072 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2075 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2076 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2079 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2081 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2082 module in FIPS mode.
2085 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2088 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2089 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2090 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2091 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2094 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2096 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2097 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2098 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2099 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2100 the difference induced by this change.
2103 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2105 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2106 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2107 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2108 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2109 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2111 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2112 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2113 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2115 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2116 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2119 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2120 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2121 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2122 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2126 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2127 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2128 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2129 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2130 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2132 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2133 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2134 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2135 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2136 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2137 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2139 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2141 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2142 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2143 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2144 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2145 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2148 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2152 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2153 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2154 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2157 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2158 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2159 structures constant.
2162 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2164 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2167 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2168 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2169 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2170 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2171 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2172 some needed definitions.
2175 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2178 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2179 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2180 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2181 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2184 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2186 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2187 server and client random values. Previously
2188 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2189 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2191 This change has negligible security impact because:
2193 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2196 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2199 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2200 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2203 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2206 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2208 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2211 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2212 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2213 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2215 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2218 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2219 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2222 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2223 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2224 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2226 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2229 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2230 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2231 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2235 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2236 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2237 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2238 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2240 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2241 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2242 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2243 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2247 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2249 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2250 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2251 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2252 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2253 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2256 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2259 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2260 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2262 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2263 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2264 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2265 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2266 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2267 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2268 rather than being initialized to 1.
2271 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2273 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2274 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2275 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2277 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2279 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2281 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2282 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2283 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2284 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2285 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2286 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2289 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2290 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2291 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2292 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2293 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2297 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2298 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2299 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2300 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2301 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2304 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2305 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2306 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2310 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2311 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2313 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2316 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2318 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2320 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2321 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2323 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2325 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2326 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2330 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2331 exiting on the first error in a request.
2334 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2335 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2339 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2340 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2341 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2342 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2344 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2345 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2348 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2349 blocks during encryption.
2352 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2353 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2354 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2355 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2359 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2360 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2361 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2362 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2363 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2367 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2369 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2370 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2371 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2372 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2375 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2376 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2377 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2378 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2379 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2381 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2382 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2383 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2384 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2385 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2386 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2387 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2388 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2389 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2392 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2393 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2394 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2395 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2398 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2399 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2402 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2404 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2405 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2406 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2407 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2408 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)

2414 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2415 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2416 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2417 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2418 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2420 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2421 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2422 used by default when no-err is given.
2425 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2426 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2428 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2429 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2430 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2431 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2432 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2434 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2435 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2436 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2437 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2439 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2441 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2443 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2445 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2446 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2447 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2448 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2452 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2453 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2455 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2456 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2459 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2460 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2461 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2462 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2465 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2466 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2467 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2468 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2469 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2470 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2471 followup to PR #377.
2474 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2475 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2478 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2479 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2480 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2502 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2503 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2504 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2505 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2506 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2507 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2509 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2510 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2511 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2512 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2513 have to be made anyway).
2516 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2517 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2518 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2521 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2522 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2523 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2526 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2527 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.

2639 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2640 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2642 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2643 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2644 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2646 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2647 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2648 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2649 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2651 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2652 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2653 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2656 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2657 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2658 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2659 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2660 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2661 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2662 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2663 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2666 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2667 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2668 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2671 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2672 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2673 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2674 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.

2677 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2678 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2680 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2681 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2684 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2685 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2686 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2687 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2688 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2689 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2692 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2693 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2694 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2697 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2698 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2701 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2702 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2703 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2704 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2705 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2706 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2707 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2710 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2711 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2712 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2713 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2714 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2715 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2718 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2719 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2720 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2721 declaration has been changed from
2724 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2725 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2726 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2727 has been changed into
2728 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2730 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2731 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2732 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2734 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2735 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2737 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2738 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2739 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2740 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2741 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2742 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2743 always load it have also been added.
2746 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2747 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2748 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2750 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2752 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2753 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2754 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2756 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2757 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2758 command line option can be used to specify an
2762 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2763 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2766 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2767 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2768 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2771 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2772 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2773 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2774 to work with the new engine framework.
2775 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2777 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2778 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2779 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2780 to work with the new engine framework.
2783 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2784 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2785 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2787 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.

2791 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2792 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2793 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant

2797 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2798 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2800 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2801 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2803 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2804 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2805 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2808 *) Add new functions
2810 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2811 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2812 These are similar to
2815 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2816 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2817 still in the error queue.
2818 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2820 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2822 default_algorithms = ALL
2823 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2826 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2829 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2832 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2833 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2834 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2835 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2837 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2838 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2840 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2841 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2843 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2844 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2847 *) New functions/macros
2849 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2850 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2851 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2852 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2854 to request calling a callback function
2856 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2857 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2859 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2860 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2861 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2862 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2863 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2864 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2865 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2866 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2867 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2868 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2870 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2871 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2874 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2875 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2876 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2877 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2878 the configuration scripts.
2880 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2881 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2882 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2884 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2885 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2887 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2888 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2889 when reusing an existing buffer.
2892 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2893 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2896 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2897 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2900 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2901 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2902 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2903 has the same effect.
2904 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2906 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2907 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2908 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2909 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2910 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2911 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2914 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2915 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2916 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2917 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2919 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2920 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2921 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2922 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2924 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2925 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2928 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2929 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2930 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2931 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2932 default), and then completely removed.
2935 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2936 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2937 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2938 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2939 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2940 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2941 particular extension is supported.
2944 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2945 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2948 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2949 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2950 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2951 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2952 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2953 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2954 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2955 requires the destination to be valid.
2957 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2958 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2961 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2962 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2963 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2966 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2967 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2969 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2970 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2971 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
2972 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
2973 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
2974 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
2975 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
2976 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
2977 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
2978 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
2979 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
2980 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
2981 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
2982 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
2983 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
2984 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
2985 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
2986 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
2987 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
2991 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
2994 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
2995 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
2996 become part of libeay.num as well.
2999 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3000 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3001 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3002 false once a handshake has been completed.
3003 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3004 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3005 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3006 client has followed the request.)
3009 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3010 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3011 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3012 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3014 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3015 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3016 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3019 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3022 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3023 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3024 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3027 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3028 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3031 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3032 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3033 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3034 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3037 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3038 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3039 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3040 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3041 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3042 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3045 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3046 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3047 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3048 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3049 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3050 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3051 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3052 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3055 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3056 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3059 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3062 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3063 md_data void pointer.
3066 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3067 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3068 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3069 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3070 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3071 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3074 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3075 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3076 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3077 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3078 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3079 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3080 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3081 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3082 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3083 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3084 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3085 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3086 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3087 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3088 rather than letting it slide.
3090 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3091 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3092 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3095 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3096 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3097 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3098 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3099 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3100 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3101 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3102 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3103 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3106 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3107 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3108 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3109 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3110 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3112 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3115 *) Add EVP test program.
3118 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3121 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3122 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3123 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3124 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3125 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3128 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3129 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3130 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3131 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3132 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3133 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3134 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3136 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3137 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3138 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3143 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3144 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3145 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3146 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3147 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3151 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3152 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3153 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3154 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3157 des_key_schedule ks;
3159 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3160 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3162 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3165 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3166 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3167 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3168 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3169 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3170 functions prevents this.
3173 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3176 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3177 correct _ecb suffix.
3180 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3181 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3182 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3183 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3184 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3187 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3190 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3191 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3192 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3193 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3195 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3196 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3198 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3199 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3200 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3201 via Richard Levitte]
3203 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3204 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3205 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3206 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3209 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3212 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

3227 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3228 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3230 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3231 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3232 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3233 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3234 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3235 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3238 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3239 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3242 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3243 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3244 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3245 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3247 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3248 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3249 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3250 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3251 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3252 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3256 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3257 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3258 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3259 and interrupts/cancellations.
3262 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3263 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3266 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3267 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3268 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3270 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3271 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3275 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3276 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3277 than this minimum value is recommended.
3280 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3281 that are easily reachable.
3284 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3285 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3287 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3289 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3290 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3291 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3292 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3295 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3296 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3297 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3300 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3301 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3302 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3303 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3304 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3305 internally such as S/MIME.
3307 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3308 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3309 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3311 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3315 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3316 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3317 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3318 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3320 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3322 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3324 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3325 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3326 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3330 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3331 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3332 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3333 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3334 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3335 a window system and the like.
3338 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3339 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3342 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3343 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3344 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3345 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3346 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3347 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3348 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3349 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3350 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3354 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3355 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3359 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3360 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3361 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3362 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3363 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3364 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3365 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3366 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3369 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3370 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3371 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3372 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3373 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3374 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3375 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3376 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3377 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3378 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3379 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3380 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3381 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3382 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3383 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3384 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3385 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3388 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3389 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3390 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3391 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3392 internal engine_int.h header.
3395 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3396 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3397 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3398 modify their own ones).
3401 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3402 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3403 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3404 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3405 later on via ctrl() commands.
3406 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3407 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3408 structural references.
3409 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3410 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3411 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3412 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3413 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3414 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3415 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3416 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3417 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3418 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3419 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3420 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3423 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3424 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3425 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3426 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3427 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3428 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3429 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3430 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3433 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3434 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3437 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3438 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3441 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3442 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3443 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3444 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3445 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3446 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3447 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3450 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3451 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3452 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3453 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3454 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3456 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3457 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3461 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3463 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3464 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3465 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3467 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3468 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3470 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3471 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3472 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3474 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3475 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3477 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3478 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3480 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3482 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3483 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3484 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3487 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3488 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3491 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3492 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3493 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3494 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3495 is 40 of more characters long.
3498 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3499 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3503 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3504 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3507 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3508 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3512 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3514 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3515 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3518 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3520 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3521 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3522 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3524 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3525 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3527 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3530 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3534 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3535 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3536 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3537 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3539 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3541 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3542 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3544 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3545 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3546 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3547 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3548 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3549 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3551 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3552 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3554 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3555 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3557 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3558 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3560 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3561 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3562 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3563 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3565 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3566 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3568 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3569 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3571 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3572 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3573 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3574 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3575 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3578 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3579 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3580 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3581 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3584 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3585 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3586 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3590 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3591 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3592 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3593 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3594 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3595 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3596 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3597 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3601 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3602 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3605 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3606 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3607 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3608 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3611 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3612 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3613 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3614 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3615 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3616 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3617 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3618 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3619 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3620 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3623 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3624 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3625 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3626 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3627 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3628 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3629 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3630 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3632 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3633 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3634 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3635 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3638 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3639 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3640 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3641 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3643 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3644 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3645 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3646 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3647 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3651 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3652 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3653 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3654 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3658 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3659 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3660 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3663 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3664 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3665 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3666 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3667 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3670 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3673 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3674 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3675 option to ocsp utility.
3678 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3679 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3680 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3681 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3682 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3683 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3684 the request is nonce-less.
3687 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3688 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3689 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3692 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3693 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3694 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3697 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3698 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3699 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3700 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3701 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3704 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3705 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3709 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3710 additional certificates supplied.
3713 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3714 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3718 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3719 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3722 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3723 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3724 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3725 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3726 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3727 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3728 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3729 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3730 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3732 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3733 request to response.
3736 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3737 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3738 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3739 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3740 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3741 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3742 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3743 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3744 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3745 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3746 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3749 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3750 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3751 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3752 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3755 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3756 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3758 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3759 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3760 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3763 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3764 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3765 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3766 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3767 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3769 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3770 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3771 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3774 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3775 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3776 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3777 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3778 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3779 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3780 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3781 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3783 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3784 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3785 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3786 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3787 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3788 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3791 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3792 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3793 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3794 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3795 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3796 printout format cleaned up.
3799 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3800 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3801 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3802 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3803 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3804 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3805 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3806 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3809 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3810 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3811 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3812 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3813 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3814 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3815 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3816 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3819 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3820 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3821 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3822 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3824 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3826 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3827 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3828 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3829 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3832 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3833 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3834 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3835 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3837 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3839 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3840 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3841 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3842 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3844 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3845 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3847 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3848 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3849 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3852 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3853 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3854 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3857 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3858 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3859 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3860 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3861 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3862 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3863 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3864 functions are provided:
3866 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3867 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3868 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3869 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3871 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3872 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3873 extended allocation function is enabled.
3874 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3875 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3876 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3878 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3879 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3880 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3881 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3882 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3885 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3886 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3887 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3889 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3890 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3891 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3894 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3895 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3896 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3897 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3898 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3899 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3900 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3901 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3902 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3905 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3906 provide utility functions which an application needing
3907 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3908 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3909 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3911 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3912 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3913 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3914 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3915 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3916 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3917 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3918 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3919 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3921 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3922 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3923 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3924 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3927 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3928 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3929 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3930 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3931 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3932 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3933 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3934 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3935 will be added elsewhere.
3938 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3939 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3940 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3941 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3944 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3945 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3946 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3947 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3948 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3949 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3950 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3951 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3952 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3953 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3954 to produce the required SET OF.
3957 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3958 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3959 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3962 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3963 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3964 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3965 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3966 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3967 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3970 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3971 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
3972 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
3975 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
3976 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
3977 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
3980 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
3981 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
3982 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
3983 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
3984 code will still work when these eventually go away.
3987 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
3988 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
3991 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
3992 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
3993 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
3994 certifcates and CRLs.
3997 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
3998 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
3999 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4002 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4003 entries for variables.
4006 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4007 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4008 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4009 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4012 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4013 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4014 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4015 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4016 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4017 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4020 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4021 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4023 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4024 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4025 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4028 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4032 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4033 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4034 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4035 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4036 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4037 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4040 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4043 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4044 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4045 for now but they will eventually go away.
4048 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4049 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4050 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4051 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4052 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4053 has also been converted to the new form.
4056 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4057 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4058 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4059 for negative moduli.
4062 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4063 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4066 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4070 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4071 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4072 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4073 type-specific callbacks.
4076 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4078 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4079 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4081 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4082 in sections depending on the subject.
4085 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4089 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4090 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4091 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4092 be handled deterministically).
4093 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4095 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4096 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4097 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4100 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4103 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4104 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4105 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4106 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4107 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4110 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4111 sign of the number in question.
4113 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4115 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4116 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4117 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4118 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4119 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4122 *) New function BN_swap.
4125 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4126 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4127 results on negative inputs.
4130 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4131 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4132 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4135 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4136 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4137 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4138 and add new functions:
4147 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4151 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4153 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4154 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4156 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4157 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4158 be reduced modulo m.
4159 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4162 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4163 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4164 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4166 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4167 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4168 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4169 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4170 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4171 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4176 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4177 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4178 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4179 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4180 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4182 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4183 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4184 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4188 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4191 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4192 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4195 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4196 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4197 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4198 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4202 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4205 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4208 *) Add the following functions:
4210 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4212 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4214 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4216 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4217 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4218 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4219 libraries unless it's really needed.
4221 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4222 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4223 declarations (they differed!).
4226 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4229 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4232 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4235 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4236 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4239 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4240 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4241 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4243 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4244 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4247 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4250 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4253 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4256 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4257 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4258 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4260 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4261 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4262 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4263 different shared library filenames on each system.
4266 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4269 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4270 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4271 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4273 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4276 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4277 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4278 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4279 binary backward compatibility.
4280 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4281 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4282 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4286 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4287 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4288 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4289 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4293 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4296 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4297 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4298 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4299 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4303 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4306 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4308 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4309 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4310 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4312 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4314 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4316 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4317 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4320 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4322 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4324 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4325 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4327 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4328 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4332 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4333 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4337 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4338 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4339 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4340 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4342 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4343 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4346 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4348 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4349 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4350 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4351 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4354 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4355 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4356 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4357 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4358 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4360 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4361 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4362 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4363 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4364 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4365 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4366 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4367 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4368 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4371 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4373 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4374 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4375 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4376 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4377 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4379 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4380 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4381 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4383 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4385 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4386 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4387 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4388 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4389 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4390 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4393 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4394 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4395 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4396 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4397 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4400 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4401 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4402 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4404 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4405 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4406 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4410 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4411 being properly terminated.
4414 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4415 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4416 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4417 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4419 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4420 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4421 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4422 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4423 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4424 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4425 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4427 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4429 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4430 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4433 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4434 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4435 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4436 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4437 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4438 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4439 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4440 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4442 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4443 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4444 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4445 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4446 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4448 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4449 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4452 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4454 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4455 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4456 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4458 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4460 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4461 and get fix the header length calculation.
4462 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4463 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4466 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4467 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4468 assertions could call abort()).
4469 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4471 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4473 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4474 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4475 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4477 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4479 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4480 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4481 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4484 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4488 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4489 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4490 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4492 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4493 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4494 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4495 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4496 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4500 *) Changes in security patch:
4502 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4503 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4504 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4507 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4508 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4509 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4510 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4511 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4513 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4515 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4517 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4518 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4519 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4521 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4522 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4523 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4525 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4526 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4527 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4529 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4531 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4532 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4533 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4535 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4536 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4538 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4539 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4540 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4541 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4542 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4543 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4546 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4547 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4548 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4549 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4552 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4555 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4556 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4557 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4558 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4559 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4560 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4562 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4563 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4564 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4565 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4566 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4569 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4570 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4571 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4572 BN_generate_prime().)
4574 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4575 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4576 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4580 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4581 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4584 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4585 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4586 when using non-blocking I/O.
4587 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4589 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4590 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4592 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4593 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4596 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4597 configuration for the versions before that.
4598 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4600 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4601 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4602 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4603 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4606 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4607 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4608 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4611 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4615 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4616 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4617 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4619 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4620 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4622 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4623 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4624 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4625 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4626 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4627 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4628 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4631 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4632 using a local variable.
4633 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4635 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4636 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4637 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4639 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4642 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4643 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4645 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4646 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4647 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4649 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4651 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4652 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4653 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4654 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4657 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4661 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4662 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
4663 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
4664 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
4665 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
4667 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
4668 returns early because it has nothing to do.
4669 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4671 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]

4676 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
4677 (Use engine 'keyclient')
4678 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
4680 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'

4686 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4687 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
4689 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
4691 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4692 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
4693 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4694 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
4696 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
4697 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
4698 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4699 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
4701 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
4702 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
4704 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
4705 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
4706 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
4709 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
4710 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
4711 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
4713 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
4715 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
4716 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
4717 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
4718 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
4719 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
4720 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
4721 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
4724 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
4725 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
4726 one of the SSL handshake functions.
4727 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
4729 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
4730 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
4731 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
4732 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
4733 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
4734 the client will at least see that alert.
4737 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
4741 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
4742 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
4743 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
4745 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
4746 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
4747 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
4748 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
4751 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
4752 before just sending a HelloRequest.
4753 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
4755 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
4756 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
4757 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
4758 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
4759 may leak via logfiles.)
4761 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
4762 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
4763 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
4764 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
4768 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
4769 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4772 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
4773 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
4774 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
4775 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
4776 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
4779 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
4780 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
4782 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
4783 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
4784 followed by modular reduction.
4785 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
4787 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
4788 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
4791 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
4792 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
4793 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
4794 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
4797 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
4800 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
4801 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
4804 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
4805 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
4806 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
4807 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
4808 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
4809 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
4811 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
4813 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
4814 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
4815 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
4816 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
4817 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
4819 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
4822 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
4823 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
4824 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
4825 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
4826 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
4827 to allow the necessary settings.
4830 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
4831 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
4832 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
4833 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
4836 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
4837 dh->length and always used
4839 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
4841 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
4842 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
4843 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
4844 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
4845 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
4850 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
4852 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
4858 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
4859 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
4860 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
4861 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
4863 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
4864 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
4865 always reject numbers >= n.
4868 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
4869 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
4870 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
4871 variable) is not atomic.
4874 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
4875 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
4876 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
4877 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
4879 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
4880 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
4882 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
4884 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
4886 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
4889 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
4891 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
4892 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
4893 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
4894 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
4895 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
4896 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
4897 to traverse all of 'state'.
4899 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
4900 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
4901 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
4903 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
4904 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
4906 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
4907 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
4908 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
4909 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
4910 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
4911 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
4912 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
4913 further strengthens the PRNG.
4916 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
4919 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
4920 an error message in this case.
4923 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
4926 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
4927 positive and less than q.
4930 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
4931 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
4933 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
4935 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
4936 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
4940 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4942 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
4943 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
4944 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
4945 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
4946 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
4947 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
4948 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
4951 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
4952 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
4953 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
4954 detect the supposedly ignored error.
4956 Both problems are now fixed.
4959 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
4960 (previously it was 1024).
4963 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
4964 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
4967 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
4970 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
4971 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
4972 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
4975 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
4976 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
4977 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
4978 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
4979 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
4980 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
4981 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
4982 environment variables.
4984 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
4985 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
4986 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
4989 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
4990 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
4991 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
4992 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
4993 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
4994 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
4997 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5001 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5003 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5004 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5006 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5007 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5008 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5009 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5013 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5014 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5015 amount of data available.
5016 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5017 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5019 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5020 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5021 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5022 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5025 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5026 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5030 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5031 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5032 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5033 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5036 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5039 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5042 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5043 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5045 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5047 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5048 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5049 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5050 (but broken) behaviour.
5053 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5055 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5057 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5058 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5061 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5065 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5066 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5068 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5071 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5072 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5073 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5075 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5076 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5077 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5080 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5081 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5084 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5085 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5087 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5089 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5091 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5092 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5093 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5094 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5097 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5100 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5101 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5102 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5104 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5107 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5109 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5110 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5111 but the code is actually correct.
5114 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5115 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5116 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5117 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5118 and leaves the highest bit random.
5119 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5121 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5122 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5123 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5124 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5125 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5126 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5127 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5130 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5133 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5134 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5137 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5138 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5139 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5140 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5144 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5145 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5146 and break the signature.
5148 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5150 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5154 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5155 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5156 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5157 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5158 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5161 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5162 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5164 *) ./config script fixes.
5165 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5167 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5170 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5171 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5172 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5173 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5174 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5176 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5177 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5180 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5181 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5184 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5185 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5186 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5187 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5189 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5190 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5192 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5193 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5194 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5195 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5196 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5198 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5201 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5204 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5207 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5210 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5211 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5214 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5215 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5216 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5217 result of the server certificate verification.)
5220 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5221 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5222 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5226 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5227 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5228 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5229 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5230 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5231 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5232 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5233 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5236 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5237 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5238 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5239 happening the other way round.
5242 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5243 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5246 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5247 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5248 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5249 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5252 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5253 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5255 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5257 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5258 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5259 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5262 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5264 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5266 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5270 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5272 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5273 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5274 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5275 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5276 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5278 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5279 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5283 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5286 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5288 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5289 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5290 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5291 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5292 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5293 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5294 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5295 by the Finished messages.
5298 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5299 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5301 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5302 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5303 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5304 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5305 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5309 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5310 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5311 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5312 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5313 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5314 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5315 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5316 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5317 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5321 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5322 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5323 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5324 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5326 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5327 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5328 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5329 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5330 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5333 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5334 been tested well enough.
5337 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5338 it can return incorrect results.
5339 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5340 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5343 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5344 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5345 include zero length content when signing messages.
5348 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5349 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5352 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5355 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5359 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5360 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5361 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5362 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5363 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5364 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5367 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5368 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5370 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5371 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5373 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5374 random number < q in the DSA library.
5377 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5378 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5379 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5380 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5381 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5382 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5383 just makes things more complicated.)
5386 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5390 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5391 work better on such systems.
5392 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5394 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5395 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5396 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5399 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5400 if there was more than one signature.
5401 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5403 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5404 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5405 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5406 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5409 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5410 rather than always using the current time.
5413 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5414 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5415 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5416 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5417 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5418 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5420 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5421 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5423 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5425 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5426 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5427 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5428 the same hash value.
5430 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5431 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5432 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5433 with X509_STORE internally.
5435 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5436 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5438 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5439 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5440 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5441 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5442 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5443 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5444 entirely (maybe later...).
5446 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5448 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5449 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5450 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5451 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5452 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5453 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5454 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5455 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5457 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5458 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5460 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5461 to customise the verify behaviour.
5464 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5465 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5468 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5469 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5470 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5471 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5472 request is improperly encoded.
5475 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5476 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5479 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5480 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5482 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5483 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5487 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5488 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5489 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5492 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5493 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5494 BIO/fp routines also added.
5497 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5498 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5500 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5501 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5502 demos/state_machine.
5505 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5506 generation and verification.
5509 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5510 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5511 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5512 encode and decode it manually.
5515 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5517 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5519 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5520 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5521 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5522 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5524 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5525 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5526 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5527 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5528 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5531 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5534 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5535 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5536 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5538 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5539 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5540 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5541 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5542 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5543 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5544 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5545 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5547 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5548 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5550 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5552 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5553 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5554 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5558 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5559 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5560 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5561 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5565 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5567 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5570 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5571 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5572 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5573 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5574 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5575 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5576 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5577 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5578 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5579 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5580 short or long names are found.
5583 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5584 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5586 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5587 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5588 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5589 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5591 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5592 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5593 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5594 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5597 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5598 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5599 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5602 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5603 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5604 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5605 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5606 to allow the various flags to be set.
5609 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5610 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5611 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5612 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5613 dates to be checked.
5616 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5617 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5618 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5621 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5622 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5623 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5626 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5627 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5630 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5631 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5632 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5633 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5634 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5635 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5638 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5639 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5643 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5647 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5648 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5649 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5650 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5651 form signing output easier to verify.
5654 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5657 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5658 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5659 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5660 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5661 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5662 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
5663 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
5664 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
5665 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
5666 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
5669 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
5671 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
5672 the syntax given in objects.README.
5673 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
5675 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
5678 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
5679 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
5680 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
5681 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
5682 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
5683 consistent name changes.
5686 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
5689 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
5690 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
5691 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
5692 environment variable, or the default random state file.
5695 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
5696 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
5697 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
5701 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
5702 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
5703 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
5704 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
5707 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
5708 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
5709 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
5710 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
5711 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
5712 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
5713 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
5714 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
5715 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
5716 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
5717 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
5720 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
5721 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
5722 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
5723 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
5724 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
5725 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
5726 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
5727 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
5728 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
5729 algorithm to openssl-dev.
5732 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
5733 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
5734 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
5735 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
5737 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
5738 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
5739 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
5740 omit any duplicate addresses.
5743 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
5744 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
5747 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
5748 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
5749 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
5750 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
5751 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
5754 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
5756 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
5757 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
5758 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
5759 Free => OPENSSL_free
5762 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
5763 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
5766 *) CygWin32 support.
5767 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
5769 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
5770 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
5771 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
5772 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
5773 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
5777 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
5778 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
5779 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
5780 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
5781 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
5782 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
5783 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
5786 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
5787 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
5788 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
5789 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
5790 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
5791 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
5792 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
5793 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
5794 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
5795 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
5796 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
5799 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
5800 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
5801 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
5802 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
5803 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
5805 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
5806 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
5807 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
5808 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
5809 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
5811 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
5814 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
5815 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
5816 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
5817 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
5819 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
5821 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
5824 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
5825 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
5826 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
5829 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
5830 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
5831 any installed hardware versions can.
5834 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
5835 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
5836 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
5840 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
5841 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
5842 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
5843 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
5844 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
5846 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
5847 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
5850 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
5851 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
5854 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
5855 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
5856 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
5860 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
5863 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
5864 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
5865 but no ssl client purpose.
5866 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
5868 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
5869 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
5870 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
5871 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
5872 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
5873 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
5874 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
5875 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
5876 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
5877 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
5878 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
5881 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
5882 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
5883 be obtained from the error queue.
5886 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
5887 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
5888 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
5889 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
5892 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
5895 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
5896 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
5897 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
5898 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
5899 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
5902 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
5903 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
5904 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
5905 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
5906 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
5909 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
5910 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
5911 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
5913 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
5915 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
5916 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
5917 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
5918 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
5919 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
5920 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
5921 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
5922 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
5923 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
5924 or "the configuration storage API"...
5926 The new configuration file reading functions are:
5928 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
5929 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
5931 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
5933 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
5935 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
5936 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
5937 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
5938 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
5939 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
5940 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
5941 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
5943 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
5944 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
5947 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
5948 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
5949 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
5950 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
5953 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
5954 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
5955 them in a portable way.
5956 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
5958 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
5960 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
5962 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
5963 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
5965 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
5966 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
5967 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
5970 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
5971 was larger than the MD block size.
5972 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
5974 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
5975 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
5976 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
5977 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
5981 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
5982 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
5983 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
5985 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
5987 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
5989 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
5990 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
5991 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
5992 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
5993 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
5994 Additional arguments are always ignored.
5996 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
5997 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
5999 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6000 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6003 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6006 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6007 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6009 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6010 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6011 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6012 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6015 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6016 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6017 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6018 does not suppress any output.
6021 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6022 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6023 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6024 with all the associated security issues.
6026 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6027 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6028 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6029 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6030 use the value in the default purpose.
6033 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6034 and fix a memory leak.
6037 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6038 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6039 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6040 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6043 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6044 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6045 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6046 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6049 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6050 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6051 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6054 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6055 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6058 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6059 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6063 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6064 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6067 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6068 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6069 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6072 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6073 number generation fails.
6076 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6079 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6080 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6082 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6085 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6086 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6088 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6089 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6091 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6093 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6094 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6097 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6098 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6100 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6101 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6104 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6105 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6106 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6107 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6108 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6109 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6111 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6112 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6113 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6117 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6118 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6119 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6120 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6121 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6122 counter, some don't.)
6123 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6124 counters or duplicate objects.
6127 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6128 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6131 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6132 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6133 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6135 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6136 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6137 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6141 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6142 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6145 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6146 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6147 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6151 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6152 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6153 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6156 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6157 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6158 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6159 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6160 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6161 should work without changes.
6164 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6165 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6166 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6167 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6168 must be defined. E.g.,
6169 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6170 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6171 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6172 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6174 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6178 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6179 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6180 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6183 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6184 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6185 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6186 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6189 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6190 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6191 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6192 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6193 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6194 is prompted for as usual.
6197 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6198 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6199 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6200 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6202 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6203 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6204 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6205 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6208 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6211 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6215 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6218 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6221 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6225 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6228 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6231 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6232 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6235 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6236 options to produce them.
6239 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6240 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6243 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6247 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6248 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6249 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6250 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6251 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6252 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6253 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6256 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6259 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6260 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6261 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6264 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6265 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6267 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6268 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6271 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6272 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6273 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6277 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6278 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6280 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6281 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6282 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6283 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6284 generation becomes much faster.
6286 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6287 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6288 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6289 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6290 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6291 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6292 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6293 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6294 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6295 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6298 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6299 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6300 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6301 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6302 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6303 trial division stage.
6306 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6310 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6313 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6316 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6317 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6318 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6322 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6323 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6324 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6327 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6328 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6329 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6330 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6332 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6333 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6336 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6339 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6340 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6341 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6342 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6345 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6346 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6347 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6350 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6351 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6352 (instead of parameters) in future.
6355 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6356 when a new cipher list is set.
6359 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6360 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6363 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6364 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6365 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6367 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6368 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6369 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6370 an error is flagged.
6372 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6373 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6374 the readability was also increased :-)
6375 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6377 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6378 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6379 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6380 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6384 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6385 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6388 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6389 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6390 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6391 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6394 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6395 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6396 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6397 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6398 because they handle more complex structures.)
6401 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6402 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6403 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6404 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6406 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6407 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6408 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6409 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6410 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6411 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6412 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6415 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6416 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6417 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6418 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6419 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6422 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6425 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6426 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6427 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6428 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6429 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6432 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6436 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6437 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6438 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6439 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6442 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6445 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6446 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6447 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6448 international characters are used.
6450 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6451 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6452 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6456 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6457 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6458 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6461 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6462 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6463 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6464 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6465 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6466 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6468 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6469 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6470 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6471 be handled by the string table functions.
6473 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6474 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6475 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6476 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6477 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6481 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6482 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6483 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6484 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6485 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6487 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6488 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6489 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6490 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6493 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6494 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6495 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6496 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6497 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6501 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6502 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6503 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6504 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6505 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6506 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6507 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6508 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6510 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6511 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6512 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6515 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6516 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6517 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6518 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6519 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6520 support to pkcs8 application.
6523 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6524 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6525 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6526 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6527 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6528 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6531 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6532 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6533 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6534 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6535 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6539 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6540 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6541 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6542 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6546 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6547 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6548 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6549 and any application specific purposes.
6551 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6552 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6553 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6554 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6555 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6556 if the certificate is self signed.
6559 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6560 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6563 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6564 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6565 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6566 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6569 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6570 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6571 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6572 Update documentation.
6575 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6576 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6577 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6578 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6579 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6582 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6584 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6586 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6587 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6588 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6589 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6590 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6591 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6592 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6593 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6594 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6595 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6597 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6599 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6600 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6601 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6602 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6603 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6605 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6606 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6607 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6608 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6609 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6610 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6611 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6612 request additional information:
6613 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6614 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6616 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6617 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6618 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6621 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6622 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6625 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6628 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6629 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6631 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6632 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6633 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6637 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6638 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6639 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6641 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6642 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6643 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6644 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6645 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6646 included in OpenSSL.
6649 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6650 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6651 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6652 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6653 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6654 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6657 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6661 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6662 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
6663 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
6664 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
6665 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
6669 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
6673 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
6674 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
6675 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
6676 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
6677 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
6678 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
6679 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
6680 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
6681 be maintained manually.
6683 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
6684 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
6685 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
6686 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
6687 work because people forget to call this function]
6688 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
6689 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
6690 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
6693 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
6694 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
6695 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
6696 should be discouraged from doing it.
6699 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
6700 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
6701 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
6702 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
6703 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
6704 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
6707 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
6708 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
6709 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
6711 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
6712 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
6713 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
6715 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
6716 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
6717 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
6718 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
6719 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
6720 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
6722 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
6723 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
6724 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
6726 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
6727 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
6730 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
6731 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
6732 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
6733 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
6736 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
6739 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
6740 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
6741 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
6742 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
6743 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
6744 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
6745 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
6746 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
6747 keys so we should be OK.
6749 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
6750 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
6751 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
6752 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
6753 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
6754 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
6755 stay in the name of compatibility.
6757 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
6758 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
6759 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
6761 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
6762 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
6763 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
6764 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
6765 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
6766 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
6770 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
6771 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
6772 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
6773 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
6774 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
6775 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
6776 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
6777 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
6778 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
6779 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
6780 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
6781 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
6782 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
6785 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
6788 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
6789 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
6790 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
6791 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
6792 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
6793 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
6794 single self signed certificate. This means that:
6795 openssl verify ss.pem
6796 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
6797 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
6801 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
6802 (and add it to external session representation).
6803 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
6804 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
6805 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
6806 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
6807 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
6808 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
6810 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
6812 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
6813 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
6814 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
6815 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
6817 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
6818 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
6819 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
6822 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
6823 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
6824 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
6828 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
6829 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
6830 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
6832 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
6833 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
6834 certificate auxiliary information.
6837 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
6841 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
6842 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
6843 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
6844 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
6845 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
6846 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
6847 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
6850 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
6851 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
6854 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
6855 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
6856 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
6857 manpages and fix a few bugs.
6860 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
6863 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
6864 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
6867 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
6868 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
6869 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
6870 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
6871 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
6872 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
6873 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
6874 using the new 'x509' options.
6876 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
6877 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
6878 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
6879 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
6883 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
6884 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
6885 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
6886 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
6887 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
6890 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
6891 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
6892 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
6893 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
6894 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
6895 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
6896 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
6897 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
6898 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
6899 the key length and effective key length are equal.
6902 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
6903 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
6904 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
6905 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
6906 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
6907 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
6908 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
6911 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
6912 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
6913 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
6914 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
6915 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
6916 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
6917 openssl.cnf for more info.
6920 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
6921 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
6922 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
6923 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
6924 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
6925 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
6926 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
6927 md should be large enough anyway.
6930 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
6931 for handling the random seed file.
6933 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
6935 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
6938 x509 (when signing).
6939 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
6940 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
6941 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
6943 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
6944 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
6945 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
6946 that support '-rand'.
6949 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
6950 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
6953 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
6954 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
6957 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
6958 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
6959 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
6960 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
6964 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
6965 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
6966 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
6967 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
6970 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
6971 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
6972 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
6973 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
6974 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
6975 print out all the purposes.
6978 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
6982 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
6983 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
6984 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
6985 single function call.
6988 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
6989 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
6992 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
6993 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
6994 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
6997 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
6998 when producing the local key id.
6999 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7001 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7002 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7003 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7007 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7008 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7009 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7010 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7013 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7014 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7015 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7016 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7018 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7019 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7020 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7021 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7023 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7024 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7025 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7026 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7027 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7028 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7029 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7030 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7031 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7032 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7033 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7034 trivial: move one line.
7035 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7037 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7038 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7039 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7040 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7041 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7042 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7043 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7044 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7045 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7046 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7047 with an event loop for example.
7050 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7051 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7052 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7053 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7054 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7055 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7056 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7057 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7058 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7061 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7062 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7063 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7064 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7065 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7066 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7069 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7070 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7071 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7072 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7074 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7075 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7076 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7077 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7081 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7082 (still largely untested)
7085 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7086 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7089 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7090 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7093 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7094 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7095 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7098 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7099 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7100 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7101 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7102 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7105 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7108 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7109 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7110 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7111 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7112 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7116 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7117 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7120 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7123 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7124 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7125 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7126 are otherwise ignored at present.
7129 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7130 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7131 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7132 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7133 copied until the next read.
7136 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7137 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7138 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7141 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7142 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7143 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7144 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7145 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7146 associated functions.
7149 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7150 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7151 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7152 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7153 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7154 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7155 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7156 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7157 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7161 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7162 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7163 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7164 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7167 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7168 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7169 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7170 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7171 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7175 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7176 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7180 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7181 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7182 extensions to be obtained and added.
7185 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7186 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7189 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7191 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7192 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7194 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7195 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7197 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7201 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7202 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7203 DH parameters contain its length).
7205 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7206 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7207 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7208 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7209 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7210 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7211 utter importance to use
7212 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7214 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7215 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7216 attacks may become possible!
7219 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7222 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7223 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7226 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7227 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7228 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7232 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7233 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7234 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7235 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7236 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7237 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7238 private key operations.
7241 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7244 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7245 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7247 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7248 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7249 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7250 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7251 the password callback is called.
7252 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7254 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7256 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7257 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7258 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7259 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7260 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7261 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7264 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7265 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7266 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7267 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7268 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7269 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7272 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7275 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7276 delete an unused file.
7279 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7280 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7281 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7282 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7285 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7286 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7287 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7291 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7292 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7293 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7295 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7296 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7297 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7298 comparison" warnings.
7299 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7302 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7303 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7304 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7307 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7308 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7310 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7311 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7313 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7314 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7315 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7317 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7318 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7319 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7320 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7321 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7323 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7325 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7326 The interface is as follows:
7327 Applications can use
7328 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7329 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7330 "off" is now the default.
7331 The library internally uses
7332 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7333 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7334 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7336 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7337 even the default) are now avoided.
7339 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7340 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7341 than just having a counter.
7343 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7345 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7349 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7350 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7351 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7352 Initial "mode" flags are:
7354 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7355 a single record has been written.
7356 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7357 retries use the same buffer location.
7358 (But all of the contents must be
7362 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7365 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7366 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7368 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7369 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7370 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7373 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7374 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7376 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7378 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7379 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7380 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7381 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7383 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7384 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7386 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7387 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7388 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7389 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7390 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7391 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7394 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7395 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7396 necessary function names.
7399 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7400 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7401 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7402 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7405 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7406 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7407 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7410 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7411 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7412 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7413 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7415 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7419 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7420 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7421 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7424 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7425 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7429 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7430 for the encoded length.
7431 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7433 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7436 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7437 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7438 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7439 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7442 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7443 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7444 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7446 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7447 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7448 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7452 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7453 to use the new extension code.
7456 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7457 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7458 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7462 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7463 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7464 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7468 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7471 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7472 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7473 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7476 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7477 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7478 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7479 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7482 *) DES library cleanups.
7485 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7486 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7487 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7488 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7489 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7493 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7494 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7497 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7498 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7499 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7500 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7501 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7502 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7503 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7504 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7505 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7508 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7509 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7510 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7511 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7512 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7513 value doesn't matter.
7516 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7520 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7521 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7522 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7523 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7525 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7528 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7529 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7530 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7532 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7533 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7535 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7538 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7541 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7544 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7548 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7550 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7552 *) Updated some demos.
7553 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7555 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7558 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7561 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7564 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7565 instead of using a fixed path.
7568 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7571 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7575 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7577 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7578 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7579 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7581 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7582 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7583 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7584 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7585 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7586 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7587 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7588 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7589 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7590 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7593 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7594 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7597 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7598 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7599 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7600 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7601 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7603 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7606 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7607 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7608 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7611 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7614 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7615 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7616 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7617 key elements as negative integers.
7620 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7621 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7624 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7626 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7627 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7628 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7631 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7632 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7633 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7634 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7635 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7638 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7641 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7642 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7643 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7644 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7646 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7647 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7648 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7650 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7651 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7652 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7653 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7654 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7655 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7656 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7657 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7658 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7660 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7661 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7662 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
7663 does not influence s as it used to.
7665 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
7666 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
7667 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
7668 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
7669 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
7670 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
7673 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
7674 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
7675 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
7679 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
7680 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
7681 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
7685 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
7686 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
7687 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
7691 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
7692 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
7695 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
7696 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7701 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
7702 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7704 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
7705 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7707 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
7710 *) Update HPUX configuration.
7713 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
7714 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7716 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
7717 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
7718 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
7722 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
7723 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
7724 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
7725 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
7726 now it really counts the depth.
7729 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
7730 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
7731 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
7732 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
7733 didn't match the private key).
7735 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
7736 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
7737 connection using the SSL_CTX).
7740 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
7743 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
7747 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
7748 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
7749 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
7752 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
7755 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
7756 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
7757 such as /usr/local/bin.
7760 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
7761 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7763 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
7766 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
7767 extension adding in x509 utility.
7770 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
7773 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
7777 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
7780 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
7781 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
7782 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
7783 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
7784 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
7785 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
7786 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
7787 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
7788 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
7789 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
7792 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
7795 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
7796 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
7799 *) Fix some race conditions.
7802 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
7803 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
7806 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
7809 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
7810 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
7811 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
7812 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
7814 *) Fix lots of warnings.
7815 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7817 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
7818 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
7819 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7821 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
7822 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7824 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
7827 *) Fix typos in error codes.
7828 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
7830 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
7833 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
7834 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7836 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
7837 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
7840 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
7841 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
7844 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
7845 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
7848 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
7849 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
7852 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
7853 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
7856 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
7857 support typesafe stack.
7860 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
7861 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
7863 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
7864 old X509V3 handling code.
7867 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
7870 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
7873 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
7876 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
7877 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
7879 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
7880 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
7881 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
7882 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
7883 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
7886 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
7887 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
7888 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
7889 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
7890 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
7892 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
7893 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
7894 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
7895 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7897 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
7898 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
7899 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
7900 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7902 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
7903 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
7904 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
7905 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
7906 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
7907 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
7910 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
7911 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
7914 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
7915 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
7918 *) Tweaks to Configure
7919 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
7921 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
7925 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
7928 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
7929 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
7932 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
7933 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
7934 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
7937 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
7940 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
7941 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
7944 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
7945 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
7946 to library startup routines.
7949 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
7950 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
7951 codes along the way.
7954 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
7955 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
7956 objects to objects.h
7959 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
7960 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
7963 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
7964 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
7966 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
7967 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
7968 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
7970 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
7971 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7972 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7974 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
7975 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
7976 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
7979 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
7981 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
7982 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
7985 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
7986 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
7987 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
7988 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
7989 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
7991 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
7992 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
7993 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
7995 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7997 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
7999 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8001 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8002 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8004 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8005 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8006 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8007 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8009 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8012 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8013 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8014 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8015 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8018 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8019 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8020 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8023 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8024 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8025 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8026 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8027 installed as `perl').
8028 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8030 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8031 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8033 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8034 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8035 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8036 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8037 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8040 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8043 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8044 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8045 is horrible: I feel ill....
8048 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8049 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8050 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8051 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8054 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8055 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8057 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8058 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8059 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8060 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8062 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8063 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8064 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8065 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8066 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8067 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8069 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8071 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8072 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8074 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8075 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8077 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8080 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8081 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8085 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8086 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8087 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8088 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8089 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8090 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8091 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8092 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8093 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8094 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8095 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8097 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8100 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8101 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8102 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8103 for linking it into DSOs.
8104 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8106 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8110 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8111 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8112 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8113 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8114 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8115 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8117 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8118 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8119 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8120 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8121 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8122 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8123 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8125 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8126 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8127 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8131 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8132 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8133 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8134 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8137 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8138 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8139 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8140 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8141 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8145 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8146 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8147 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8148 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8149 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8151 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8152 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8153 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8155 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8156 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8158 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8159 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8160 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8161 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8162 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8165 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8166 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8167 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8168 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8169 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8170 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8171 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8174 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8176 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8177 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8180 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8181 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8183 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8184 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8187 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8188 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8189 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8190 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8191 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8193 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8194 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8195 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8196 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8197 no way to reconfigure them.
8198 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8199 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8200 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8201 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8202 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8203 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8205 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8206 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8207 recognized by the users.
8208 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8210 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8211 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8212 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8213 already masked variable.
8214 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8216 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8217 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8219 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8220 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8221 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8222 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8224 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8225 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8226 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8228 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8229 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8230 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8231 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8232 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8233 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8234 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8235 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8237 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8239 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8240 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8241 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8243 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8244 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8248 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8249 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8251 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8252 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8253 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8254 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8257 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8260 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8261 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8263 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8266 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8267 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8270 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8271 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8274 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8275 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8276 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8277 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8278 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8279 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8280 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8283 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8284 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8286 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8287 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8288 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8289 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8290 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8292 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8293 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8294 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8297 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8298 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8302 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8303 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8304 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8306 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8307 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8308 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8312 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8313 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8314 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8315 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8318 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8319 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8320 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8321 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8324 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8325 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8326 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8327 so it wasn't spotted.
8328 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8330 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8331 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8332 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8333 vectors if you have them.
8336 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8337 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8340 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8341 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8342 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8343 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8345 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8346 it will update them.
8349 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8350 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8351 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8352 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8353 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8354 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8355 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8356 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8358 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8359 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8360 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8361 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8362 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8363 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8364 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8365 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8366 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8367 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8369 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8370 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8371 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8372 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8373 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8376 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8380 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8381 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8383 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8384 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8386 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8387 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8390 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8391 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8393 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8394 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8396 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8399 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8403 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8404 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8405 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8406 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8408 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8411 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8414 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8417 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8418 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8421 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8422 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8426 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8427 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8430 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8431 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8432 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8435 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8436 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8437 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8438 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8439 properly to be processed.
8442 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8443 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8444 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8447 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8448 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8450 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8451 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8452 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8453 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8454 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8455 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8456 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8457 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8458 or delete all the .err files.
8461 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8462 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8463 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8464 to regenerate it if needed.
8465 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8466 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8468 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8469 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8471 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8472 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8473 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8474 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8475 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8478 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8479 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8481 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8482 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8484 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8485 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8486 error, but didn't set one).
8487 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8489 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8492 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8493 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8496 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8497 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8499 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8500 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8501 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8502 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8503 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8504 OID is not part of the table.
8507 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8508 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8511 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8514 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8515 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8519 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8520 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8522 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8524 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8526 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8527 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8529 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8530 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8532 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8533 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8535 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8536 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8539 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8540 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8543 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8544 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8546 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8547 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8549 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8550 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8552 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8553 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8555 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8556 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8557 unused in the certificate verification process.
8558 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8560 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8561 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8564 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8565 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8566 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8568 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8569 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8570 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8571 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8572 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8574 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8575 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8578 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8581 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8584 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8585 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8587 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8590 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8593 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8596 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8597 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8598 other error libraries.
8601 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8604 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8605 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8609 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8610 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8611 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8612 the new set of documenation files.
8613 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8615 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8616 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8617 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8618 number of arguments.
8619 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8621 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8624 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8625 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8626 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8628 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8631 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8635 unixware-2.0-pentium
8639 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8640 before they are needed.
8643 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8647 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8649 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8650 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8651 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8653 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8656 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8657 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8658 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8660 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8661 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8662 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
8664 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
8665 when "ssleay" is still not found.
8666 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8668 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
8669 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
8671 *) Updated the README file.
8672 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8674 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
8675 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
8676 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8678 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
8679 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
8680 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8682 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
8683 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
8684 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
8685 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
8686 o removed obsolete TODO file
8687 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
8688 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8690 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
8691 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
8692 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

8695 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
8696 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8698 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
8701 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
8702 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
8703 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
8705 [The OpenSSL Project]
8708 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
8710 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
8713 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
8716 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
8717 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
8720 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
8721 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
8725 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
8727 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
8729 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
8732 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
8735 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
8738 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
8741 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
8744 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
8747 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
8750 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
8753 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
8756 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
8759 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
8762 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
8765 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
8768 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
8771 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
8774 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
8777 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
8780 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
8781 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
8782 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
8785 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
8786 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
8789 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
8792 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
8795 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
8796 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
8799 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
8802 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
8805 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
8806 bytes sent in the client random.
