5 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
8 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
9 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
10 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
12 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
13 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
14 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
16 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
17 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
20 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
22 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
23 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
25 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
26 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
28 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
31 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
35 *) Add callbacks supporting generation and retrieval of supplemental
37 [Scott Deboy <sdeboy@apache.org>, Trevor Perrin and Ben Laurie]
39 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
40 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
41 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
42 algorithms and include tests cases.
45 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
49 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
50 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
53 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
54 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
55 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
58 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
59 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
61 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
62 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
65 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
66 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
70 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
71 sign or verify all in one operation.
74 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporaing all the algorithm
75 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
76 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
79 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
82 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
85 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
86 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
87 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
88 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
89 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
92 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
96 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
97 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
98 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
101 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
102 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
105 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
108 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
109 POST to handle HMAC cases.
112 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
113 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
116 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
117 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
118 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
121 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
122 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
123 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
124 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
125 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
126 requested amount of entropy.
129 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
130 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
133 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
134 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
135 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
139 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
140 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
141 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
144 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
145 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
146 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
147 will never use XTS mode.
150 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
151 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
152 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
153 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
154 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
155 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
158 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
159 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
160 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
161 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
164 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
165 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
166 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
169 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
172 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
175 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
176 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
179 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
180 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
183 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
184 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
187 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
188 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
189 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
190 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
191 and rename any affected symbols.
194 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
195 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
198 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
199 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
200 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
203 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
206 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
207 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
208 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
211 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
212 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
215 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
216 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
217 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
218 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
219 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
220 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
224 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
225 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
226 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
227 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
228 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
229 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
230 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
231 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
234 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
235 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
238 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
240 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
241 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
243 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
244 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
245 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
246 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
247 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
248 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
250 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
251 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
252 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
254 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
256 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
260 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
261 Add CMAC pkey methods.
264 *) Experimental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
265 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
266 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
269 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
270 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
271 multi-process servers.
274 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
275 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
276 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
277 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
278 RAND_METHOD structure.
281 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
282 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
283 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
284 whose return value is often ignored.
287 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
289 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
290 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
291 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
294 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-02
296 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
297 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
298 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
299 is at least 512 bytes long.
301 To enable it use an unused extension number (for example chrome uses
304 e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_padding=35655
306 Since the extension is ignored the actual number doesn't matter as long
307 as it doesn't clash with any existing extension.
309 This will be updated when the extension gets an official number.
311 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
313 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
315 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
317 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
318 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
319 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
320 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
321 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
322 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
323 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
325 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
326 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
329 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
330 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
331 summary of the connection parameters.
334 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
335 of connection parameters.
338 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
339 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
341 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
342 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
345 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
348 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
349 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
352 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
353 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
356 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
360 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
361 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
362 CRLs using the OCSP API.
365 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
368 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
369 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
372 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
373 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
374 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
378 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
379 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
382 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
386 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
390 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
391 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
392 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
393 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
396 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
397 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
400 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
401 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
402 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
406 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
407 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
408 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
412 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
415 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
416 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
417 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
418 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
419 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
420 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
421 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
423 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
424 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
428 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
429 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
430 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
433 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
434 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
435 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
436 supported signature algorithms.
439 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
442 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
443 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
444 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
445 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
446 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
447 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
448 certificate and specify the whole chain.
451 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
452 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
453 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
454 to have similar checks in it.
456 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
457 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
458 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
459 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
460 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
463 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
464 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
465 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
466 shared signature algorithms.
469 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
470 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
474 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
475 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
476 it couldn't be removed.
479 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
480 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
483 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
484 functions. Add manual page.
485 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
487 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
488 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
492 *) Fix OCSP checking.
493 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
495 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
496 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
497 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
498 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
502 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
503 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
506 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
507 platform support for Linux and Android.
510 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
513 *) RFC 5878 (TLS Authorization Extensions) support.
514 [Emilia Kasper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie (Google)]
516 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
517 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
518 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
519 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
520 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
523 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
524 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
525 the new parameter format automatically.
528 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
529 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
532 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
535 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
536 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
537 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
538 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
539 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
542 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
543 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
544 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
545 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
546 to set list of supported curves.
549 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
550 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
551 to print out received values.
554 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
555 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
556 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
559 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
560 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
563 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
564 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
567 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
571 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
573 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
574 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
575 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
577 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
579 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
581 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
582 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
583 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
585 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
586 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
587 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
588 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
590 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
592 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
593 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
594 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
595 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
596 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
600 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
601 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
604 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
605 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
607 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
608 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
609 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
610 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
611 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
613 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
616 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
620 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
622 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
623 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
625 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
626 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
630 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
631 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
634 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
638 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
640 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
641 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
642 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
643 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
644 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
645 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
646 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
647 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
648 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
649 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
652 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
653 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
654 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
655 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
656 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
657 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
661 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
663 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
664 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
665 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
667 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
668 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
670 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
672 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
675 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
676 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
678 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
679 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
680 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
681 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
682 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
683 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
684 Most broken servers should now work.
685 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
686 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
689 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
692 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
694 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
695 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
698 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
699 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
700 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
701 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
702 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
705 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
706 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
707 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
708 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
709 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
712 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
713 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
715 *) Add support for SCTP.
716 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
718 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
719 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
721 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
723 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
724 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
725 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
726 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
727 - s390x: z196 support;
728 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
732 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
733 (removal of unnecessary code)
734 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
736 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
739 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
742 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
743 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
744 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
746 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
748 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
749 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
750 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
751 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
752 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
754 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
755 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
756 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
758 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
759 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
760 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
762 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
763 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
765 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
767 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
768 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
769 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
772 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
773 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
777 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
778 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
779 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
782 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
783 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
784 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
785 the appropriate parameters.
788 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
789 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
790 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
791 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
792 against a number of sample certificates.
795 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
796 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
798 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
799 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
801 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
802 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
806 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
810 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
811 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
812 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
816 *) Session-handling fixes:
817 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
818 but also support Session Tickets.
819 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
820 presented a ticket with an expired session.
821 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
822 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
823 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
824 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
826 *) Fix PSK session representation.
829 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
831 This work was sponsored by Intel.
834 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
835 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
836 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
837 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
838 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
841 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
842 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
845 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
846 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
847 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
850 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
851 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
852 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
853 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
856 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
857 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
858 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
861 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
862 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
864 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
867 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
868 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
871 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
874 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
875 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
878 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
879 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
882 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
885 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
886 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
887 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
890 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
893 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
896 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
897 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
900 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
901 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
902 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
905 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
908 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
912 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
913 FIPS modules versions.
916 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
917 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
918 until after the certificate request message is received.
921 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
922 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
923 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
924 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
927 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
928 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
929 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
930 support yet and no support for client certificates.
933 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
934 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
935 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
936 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
937 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
938 and version checking.
941 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
942 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
943 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
944 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
948 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
950 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
953 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
954 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
955 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
957 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
958 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
959 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
962 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
963 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
965 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
966 a few changes are required:
968 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
970 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
971 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
972 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
975 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
977 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
979 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
980 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
981 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
983 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
984 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
985 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
986 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
988 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
990 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
991 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
994 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
995 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
996 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
997 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
999 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1001 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1004 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
1006 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
1009 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1012 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1013 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1017 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1018 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1021 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
1023 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1024 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1025 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1027 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1028 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1030 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1032 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1034 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1035 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1036 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1037 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1038 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1039 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1040 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1041 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1042 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1045 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1046 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1047 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1050 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1052 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1053 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1054 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1055 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1058 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1060 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1061 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1062 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1063 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1064 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1065 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1066 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1067 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1068 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1069 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1070 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1071 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1072 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1074 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1076 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1078 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1079 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1080 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1081 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1083 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
1084 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
1086 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1087 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1088 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1089 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1091 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1092 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1094 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1095 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1097 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1098 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1100 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1101 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1102 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1104 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1105 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1106 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1108 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1109 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1110 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1111 the last update always remained unused).
1112 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1114 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1115 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1117 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1119 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1120 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1121 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1123 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1124 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1125 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1127 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1130 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1131 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1132 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1135 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1136 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1138 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1140 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1142 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1144 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1145 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1147 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1148 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1152 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1154 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1155 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1156 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1159 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1160 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1161 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1164 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1166 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1167 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1168 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1171 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1175 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1177 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1179 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1181 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1183 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1184 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1185 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1188 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1191 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1192 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1193 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1195 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1196 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1197 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1200 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1201 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1204 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1205 some responders need this.
1208 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1210 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1212 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1213 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1214 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1217 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1220 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1221 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1222 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1223 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1224 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1225 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1226 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1227 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1230 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1231 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1232 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1233 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1235 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1236 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1238 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1242 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1243 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1244 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1245 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1246 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1247 attempting to work them out.
1250 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1251 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1252 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1253 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1256 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1257 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1258 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1259 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1260 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1263 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1264 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1271 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1273 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1277 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1278 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1280 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1281 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1283 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1284 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1285 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1286 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1287 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1290 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1291 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1292 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1295 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1296 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1299 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1300 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1302 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1303 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1306 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1309 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1310 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1311 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1315 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1316 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1317 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1318 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1319 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1320 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1323 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1324 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1326 This work was sponsored by Google.
1329 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1330 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1331 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1332 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1333 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1334 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1335 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1338 This work was sponsored by Google.
1341 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1343 This work was sponsored by Google.
1346 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1347 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1348 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1349 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1351 This work was sponsored by Google.
1354 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1355 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1356 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1357 CRL functionality in future.
1359 This work was sponsored by Google.
1362 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1364 This work was sponsored by Google.
1367 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1368 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1370 This work was sponsored by Google.
1373 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1374 and URI types are currently supported.
1376 This work was sponsored by Google.
1379 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1380 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1381 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1382 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1383 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1384 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1385 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1386 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1388 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1389 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1390 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1392 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1393 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1394 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1395 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1397 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1398 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1399 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1400 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1401 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1402 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1403 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1404 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1406 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1408 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1409 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1410 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1412 This work was sponsored by Google.
1415 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1418 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1419 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1420 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1423 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1424 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1427 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1428 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1431 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1432 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1433 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1434 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1435 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1436 content types and variants.
1439 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1442 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1443 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1444 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1445 files from the associated perl scripts.
1448 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1449 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1450 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1452 *) s390x assembler pack.
1455 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1459 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1460 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1461 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1462 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1463 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1464 to use. For example, specify an option
1466 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1468 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1469 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1470 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1471 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1472 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1473 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1475 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1476 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1477 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1478 return non-zero for success.
1480 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1483 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1484 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1488 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1491 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1492 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1493 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1494 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1495 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1496 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1497 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1498 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1499 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1501 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1502 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1503 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1504 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1505 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1506 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1508 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1509 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1510 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1511 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1512 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1513 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1517 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1520 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1522 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1523 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1524 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1527 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1528 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1531 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1532 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1533 with no application modification.
1535 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1536 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1538 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1539 or server extensions to be examined.
1541 This work was sponsored by Google.
1544 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1545 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1546 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1548 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1549 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1550 ciphersuite support.
1551 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1553 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1554 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1555 to output in BER and PEM format.
1558 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1559 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1560 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1561 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1562 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1565 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1566 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1567 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1571 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1572 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1573 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1574 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1575 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1576 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1577 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1578 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1581 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1582 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1583 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1584 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1586 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1587 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1588 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1592 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1593 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1594 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1595 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1596 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1597 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1598 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1599 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1600 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1602 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1603 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1604 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1605 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1606 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1607 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1608 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1609 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1610 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1611 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1612 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1615 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1616 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1617 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1619 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1620 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1624 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1625 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1626 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1629 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1630 it yet and it is largely untested.
1633 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1636 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1637 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1638 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1641 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1644 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1645 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1646 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1647 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1650 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1651 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1652 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1653 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1654 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1657 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1658 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1661 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1662 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1663 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1664 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1667 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1668 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1669 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1670 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1673 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1674 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1677 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1678 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1679 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1680 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1683 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1684 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1685 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1688 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1692 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1693 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1696 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1697 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1698 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1702 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1703 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1704 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1707 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1708 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1709 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1710 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1713 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1714 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1715 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1716 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1717 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1718 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1721 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1722 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1723 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1724 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1725 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1727 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1728 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1729 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1730 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1731 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1734 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1735 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1736 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1737 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1739 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1740 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1741 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1742 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1743 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1749 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1750 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1754 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1755 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1758 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1759 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1762 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1763 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1764 functional reference processing.
1767 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1768 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1772 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1773 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1774 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1777 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1778 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1779 application to support multiple signers.
1782 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1786 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1787 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1788 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1789 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1790 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1793 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1797 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1798 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1799 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1800 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1804 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1805 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1806 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1807 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1808 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1809 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1810 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1811 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1814 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1815 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1816 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1817 between digests and public key types.
1820 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1821 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1822 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1823 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1826 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1827 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1831 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1834 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1838 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1839 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1840 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1841 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1846 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1848 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1850 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1852 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1853 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1854 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1855 functionality for RSA.
1858 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1859 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1860 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1863 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1864 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1867 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1868 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1869 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1872 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1873 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1876 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1877 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1880 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1881 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1885 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1886 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1887 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1891 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1892 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1893 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1894 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1895 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1896 of public and private key structures.
1899 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1900 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1903 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1904 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1905 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1908 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1912 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1913 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1914 SSL_get_psk_identity
1915 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1917 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1919 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1920 and response verification functionality.
1921 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1923 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1924 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1925 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1926 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1927 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1928 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1929 server_name extension.
1931 New functions (subject to change):
1933 SSL_get_servername()
1934 SSL_get_servername_type()
1937 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1939 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1940 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1941 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1942 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1943 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1945 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1947 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1948 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1949 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1950 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1951 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1952 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1955 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1957 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1960 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1961 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1962 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1963 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1964 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1967 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1968 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1972 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1973 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1974 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1975 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1978 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1979 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1980 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1981 using the maximum available value.
1984 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1985 in addition to the text details.
1988 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1989 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1990 handle several customised structures at all.
1993 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1994 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1995 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1998 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2001 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2002 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2003 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2006 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2007 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2008 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2011 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2012 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2016 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2019 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2022 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
2024 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2026 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2027 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2028 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2030 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2031 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2032 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2033 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2035 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2037 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2038 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2041 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2042 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2045 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2046 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2047 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2048 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.

2050 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2052 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2055 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
2057 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
2060 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2061 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2065 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2066 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2069 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
2071 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
2072 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
2073 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
2074 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
2075 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2077 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
2079 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2080 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2081 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2083 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2084 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2086 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2088 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
2090 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2091 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2092 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2093 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2094 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2095 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2096 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2097 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2098 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2101 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2102 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2103 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2106 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
2108 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2109 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2110 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2111 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2114 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
2116 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2117 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2118 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2119 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2120 differences arising during decryption processing. A research

2127 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)

2130 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
2131 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
2133 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2135 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2137 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2138 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2139 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)

2142 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2143 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2144 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)

2147 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2148 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2150 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2151 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2153 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2154 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2155 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2157 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2158 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2159 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2161 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2162 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2163 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2164 the last update always remained unused).
2165 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2167 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2168 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
2169 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2171 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2174 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2175 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:

2186 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2187 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2191 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
2193 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2194 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2195 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2198 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2199 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2200 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2203 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
2205 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2206 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2207 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2210 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
2213 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
2214 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
2215 some broken encodings work correctly.
2218 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
2219 is also one of the inputs.

2222 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
2223 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
2224 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add

2234 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
2235 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
2237 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
2238 common in certificates and some applications which only call
2239 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
2243 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com

2248 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2250 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2251 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2252 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2253 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2254 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2255 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2256 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2257 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2259 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2260 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2261 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2263 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2265 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2266 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2268 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2269 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2272 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2273 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2274 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2277 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2278 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2279 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2280 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2281 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2282 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2285 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2286 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2287 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2290 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2291 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2292 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2293 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2294 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2295 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2299 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2300 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2303 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2304 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2305 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2308 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2311 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2312 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2313 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2314 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2315 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2316 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2317 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2318 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2319 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2322 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2323 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2324 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2327 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2328 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2331 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2332 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2333 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2334 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2335 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2336 know what you are doing.
2337 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2339 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2340 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2341 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2342 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2343 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2344 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2348 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2349 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error

2354 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2355 warnings in other configurations.
2358 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This

2360 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2362 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2364 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2365 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2366 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2368 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2369 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2370 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2371 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2374 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2378 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2379 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2381 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2383 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2384 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2385 other than a simple chain.
2386 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2388 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2389 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2390 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2391 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2394 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2395 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2396 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2397 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2398 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2399 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2400 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2401 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2402 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2404 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2405 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2406 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2407 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2408 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2409 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2411 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2413 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2414 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2417 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.

2423 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2425 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2426 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2427 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2428 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2429 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2433 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2435 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2436 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2437 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2438 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2440 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2441 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2442 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2443 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2445 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2446 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2447 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2450 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2451 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2455 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2456 to handle some structures.
2459 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time

2463 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2466 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2469 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2472 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2473 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2477 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2479 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2481 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2483 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2486 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2487 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2488 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2489 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2491 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2492 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2494 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2495 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2498 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2499 s_client and s_server.
2502 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2503 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2505 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2506 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2508 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2509 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2510 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2511 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2512 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2515 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2517 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2518 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2521 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2522 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2525 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2526 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2527 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2528 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2530 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2531 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2533 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2535 *) Various precautionary measures:
2537 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2539 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2540 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2541 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2543 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2544 outside the expected range.
2546 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2549 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2551 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2552 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2553 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2555 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2558 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2561 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2563 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2566 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2567 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2568 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2570 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2573 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2574 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2575 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2579 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2581 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2582 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2583 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2584 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2586 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2587 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2590 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2592 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2593 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2594 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2596 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2598 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2599 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2600 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2601 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2604 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2605 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2606 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2607 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2608 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2609 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2610 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2612 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2614 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2615 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2616 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2617 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2618 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2620 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2621 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2623 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2624 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2625 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2626 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2627 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2629 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2631 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2632 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2633 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2634 sets may exist with different names.
2637 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2638 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2639 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2640 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2641 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2642 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2643 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2644 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2645 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2647 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2649 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2650 implemention in the following ways:
2652 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2655 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2656 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2657 ignored for embedded content.
2659 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2660 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2663 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2664 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2665 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2666 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2668 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2669 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2672 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2673 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2676 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2677 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2678 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2679 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2680 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2681 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2685 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2686 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2687 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2691 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2692 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2693 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2694 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2695 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2696 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2697 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2698 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2700 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2701 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2702 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2703 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2704 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2705 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2706 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2708 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2709 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2710 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2711 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2712 to s_client and s_server.
2715 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2717 *) Fix various bugs:
2718 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2719 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2720 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2721 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2722 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2724 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2726 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2727 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2728 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2729 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2730 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2731 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2732 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2733 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2736 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2737 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2738 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2741 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2742 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2743 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2746 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2747 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2750 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2751 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2752 with no application modification.
2754 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2755 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2757 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2758 or server extensions to be examined.
2760 This work was sponsored by Google.
2763 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2764 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2765 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2766 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2767 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2768 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2769 server_name extension.
2771 New functions (subject to change):
2773 SSL_get_servername()
2774 SSL_get_servername_type()
2777 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2779 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2780 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2781 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2782 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2783 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2785 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2787 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2788 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2789 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2790 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2791 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2792 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2795 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2797 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2800 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2803 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2804 (which previously caused an internal error).
2807 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2810 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2811 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2813 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2814 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2815 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2817 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2818 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2819 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2820 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2822 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2823 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2824 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2825 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2827 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2828 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2829 information. For detailed background information, see
2830 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2831 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2832 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2833 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2834 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2835 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2836 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2837 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2838 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2839 remove a conditional branch.
2841 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2842 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2843 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2844 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2845 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2846 remains as a deprecated alias.
2848 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2849 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2850 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2851 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2853 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2854 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2855 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2856 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2857 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2858 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2859 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2860 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2862 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2864 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2865 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2866 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2867 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2868 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2869 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2870 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2871 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2872 in a different context.
2875 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2876 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2877 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2880 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2881 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2882 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2884 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2886 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2887 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2888 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2889 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2890 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2893 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2894 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2895 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2896 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2897 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2898 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2901 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2902 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2903 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2904 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2905 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2908 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2909 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2911 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2912 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2913 Improve header file function name parsing.
2916 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2917 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2920 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2922 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2923 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2924 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2926 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2927 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2929 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2930 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2932 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2933 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2934 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2936 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2937 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2938 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2939 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2940 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2941 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2942 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2943 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2944 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2946 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2947 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2948 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2949 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2950 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2952 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2953 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2954 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2955 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2956 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2957 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2958 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2959 multiple values to extend the available space.
2963 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2965 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2966 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2968 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2971 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2972 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2973 undesirable limitations.
2974 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2976 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2977 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2978 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2979 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2980 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2981 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2982 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2985 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2987 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2988 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2989 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2991 The latter two were purportedly from
2992 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2995 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2996 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2997 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3000 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3001 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3004 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3005 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3006 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3007 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3009 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3010 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3011 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3014 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3015 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3016 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3017 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3018 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3019 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3022 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3024 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3025 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3028 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3029 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3031 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3032 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3033 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3034 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3037 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3038 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3041 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3042 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3043 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3044 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3045 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3046 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3047 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3051 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3052 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3053 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3054 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3057 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3058 under VC++ build system.
3061 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3062 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3065 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3067 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3068 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3069 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3070 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3071 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3073 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3074 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3075 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3077 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3080 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3081 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3084 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3085 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3087 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3090 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3091 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3093 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3094 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3097 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3098 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3102 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3104 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3107 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3110 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3111 key into the same file any more.
3114 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3117 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3118 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3120 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3121 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3124 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3125 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3126 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3127 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3128 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3129 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3131 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3132 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3133 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3136 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3137 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3138 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3139 - add new function for parameter creation
3140 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3141 BN_BLINDING parameters
3142 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3143 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3144 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3148 *) Add support for DTLS.
3149 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3151 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3152 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3155 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3156 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3159 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3160 the apps/openssl applications.
3163 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3164 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3165 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3168 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3169 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3171 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3172 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3174 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3175 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3176 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3177 avoid this algorithm.)
3181 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3182 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3183 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3186 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3187 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3190 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3191 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3192 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3195 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3197 The blank line is mandatory.
3201 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3202 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3206 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3207 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3209 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3210 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3211 to support policy checking and print out.
3214 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3215 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3216 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3217 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3219 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3222 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3223 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3225 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3226 implementation contributed by IBM.
3227 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3229 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3230 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3231 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3232 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3234 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3235 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3237 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3238 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3239 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3240 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3241 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3242 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3245 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3246 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3247 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3248 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3249 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3250 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3251 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3254 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3257 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3258 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3259 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3260 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3261 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3262 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3263 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3264 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3267 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3268 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3269 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3270 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3273 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3276 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3279 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3280 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3281 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3282 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3283 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3284 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3285 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3288 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3289 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3292 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3293 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3294 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3297 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3298 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3299 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3303 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3304 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3307 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3308 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3309 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3310 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3313 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3314 initialised value as BN_new().
3315 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3317 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3320 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3321 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3322 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3323 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3324 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3325 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3326 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3327 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3328 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3329 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3330 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3331 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3332 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3333 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3334 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3336 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3337 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3338 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3339 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3342 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3343 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3344 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3345 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3346 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3347 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3348 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3349 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3350 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3353 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3354 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3355 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3356 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3357 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3358 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3359 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3362 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3363 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3364 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3365 these have been updated also.
3368 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3369 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3370 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3371 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3372 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3376 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3377 structure of type "other".
3380 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3381 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3382 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3383 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3384 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3385 situation in the script.
3386 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3388 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3389 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3390 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3391 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3392 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3393 used as premaster secret.
3394 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3396 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3397 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3398 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3400 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3401 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3403 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3404 control of the error stack.
3407 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3410 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3411 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3412 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3413 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3416 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3417 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3418 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3421 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3422 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3423 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3427 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3428 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3429 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3430 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3433 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3434 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3435 the following flags are defined:
3437 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3438 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3439 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3442 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3443 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3444 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3445 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3449 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3450 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3451 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3452 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3453 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3456 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3457 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3458 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3461 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3462 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3463 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3464 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3465 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3466 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3469 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3473 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3476 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3479 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3482 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3483 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3484 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3485 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3486 default implementation more easily.
3489 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3493 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3494 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3497 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3498 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3499 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3500 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3502 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3503 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3504 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3505 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3508 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3509 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3513 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3514 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3515 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3516 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3517 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3518 scalar * generator).
3519 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3521 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3522 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3523 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3527 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3528 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3529 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3530 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3531 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3532 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3533 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3534 linker additions, eg;
3535 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3538 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3539 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3540 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3543 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3544 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3545 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3549 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3550 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3551 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3552 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3555 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3556 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3557 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3558 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3559 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3560 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3561 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3562 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3563 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3564 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3566 Example for using the new callback interface:
3568 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3572 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3574 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3575 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3576 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3577 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3578 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3579 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3584 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3585 available to TLS with the number defined in
3586 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3589 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3590 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3592 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3593 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3594 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3595 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3597 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3598 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3600 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3601 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3605 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3606 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3609 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3610 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3611 and a macro that behave like
3612 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3614 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3617 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3618 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3619 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3621 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3623 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3626 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3627 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3628 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3629 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3631 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3632 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3633 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3634 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3635 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3636 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3637 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3638 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3640 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3641 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3644 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3645 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3647 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3648 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3649 files while avoiding the low level API.
3651 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3652 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3653 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3654 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3656 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3657 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3658 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3659 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3660 instead of the low level API.
3663 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3664 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3665 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3666 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3667 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3670 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3671 down to the template encoder.
3674 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3675 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3678 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3679 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3680 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3681 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3683 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3684 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3686 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3687 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3689 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3690 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3693 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3694 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3695 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3698 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3699 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3701 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3702 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3704 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3705 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3708 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3712 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3713 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3714 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3715 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3716 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3717 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3719 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3720 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3723 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3724 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3725 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3726 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3727 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3728 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3729 various internal method names.)
3731 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3732 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3734 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3735 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3737 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3738 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3740 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3741 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3742 methods are undefined.
3744 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3745 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3747 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3748 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3749 length of the modulus.
3751 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3752 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3754 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3755 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3757 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3758 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3760 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3761 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3762 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3765 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3766 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3767 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3768 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3770 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3771 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3772 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3773 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3775 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3776 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3778 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3779 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3780 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3781 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3782 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3784 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3785 This applies to the following functions:
3790 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3791 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3793 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3794 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3798 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3803 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3805 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3806 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3807 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3808 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3809 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3811 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3812 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3814 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3815 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3816 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3818 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3819 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3821 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3822 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3823 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3824 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3825 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3827 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3829 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3830 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3831 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3832 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3833 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3834 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3835 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3836 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3837 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3838 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3839 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3840 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3842 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3845 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3846 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3847 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3848 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3850 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3851 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3852 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3853 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3858 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3859 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3860 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3861 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3862 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3864 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3865 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3866 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3867 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3868 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3869 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3870 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3871 adding different types of curves.
3872 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3874 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3875 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3876 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3879 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3880 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3882 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3883 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3884 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3885 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3887 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3889 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3890 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3892 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3893 library. Most notably,
3894 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3895 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3896 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3897 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3898 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3899 extracted before the specific public key;
3900 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3901 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3903 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3904 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3906 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3907 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3908 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3909 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3911 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3912 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3913 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3915 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3916 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3917 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3918 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3919 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3920 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3924 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3926 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3928 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3930 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3931 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3932 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3935 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3936 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3937 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3940 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3943 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3944 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3947 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3948 run algorithm test programs.
3951 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3954 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3955 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3956 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3957 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3958 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3961 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3962 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3965 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3967 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3968 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3969 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3971 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3972 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3974 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3975 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3977 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3978 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3979 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3981 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3982 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3983 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3984 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3985 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3986 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3987 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3990 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3992 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3993 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3995 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3996 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3997 undesirable limitations.
3998 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4000 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4002 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4003 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4004 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4006 The latter two were purportedly from
4007 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4010 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
4011 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4012 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4015 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
4016 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4019 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
4021 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
4022 module in FIPS mode.
4025 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
4028 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
4029 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
4030 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
4031 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
4034 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
4036 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
4037 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
4038 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
4039 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
4040 the difference induced by this change.
4043 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
4045 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4046 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4047 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4048 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4049 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4051 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4052 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4053 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4055 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
4056 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
4059 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
4060 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
4061 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
4062 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
4066 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
4067 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
4068 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
4069 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
4070 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
4072 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
4073 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
4074 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
4075 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
4076 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
4077 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
4079 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
4081 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
4082 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
4083 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
4084 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
4085 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
4088 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
4092 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
4093 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
4094 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
4097 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
4098 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
4099 structures constant.
4102 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
4104 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4107 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
4108 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
4109 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
4110 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
4111 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
4112 some needed definitions.
4115 *) Undo Cygwin change.
4118 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
4119 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
4120 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
4121 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
4124 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
4126 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
4127 server and client random values. Previously
4128 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
4129 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
4131 This change has negligible security impact because:
4133 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
4136 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
4139 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
4140 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
4143 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
4146 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
4148 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
4151 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
4152 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
4153 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
4155 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
4158 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
4159 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
4162 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
4163 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
4164 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
4166 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
4169 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
4170 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
4171 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
4175 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
4176 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
4177 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
4178 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
4180 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
4181 has chosen to ignore this fault)
4182 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
4183 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
4187 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
4189 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
4190 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
4191 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
4192 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
4193 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
4196 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
4199 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
4200 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
4202 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
4203 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
4204 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
4205 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
4206 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
4207 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
4208 rather than being initialized to 1.
4211 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
4213 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4214 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4215 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4217 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
4219 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4221 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4222 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4223 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4224 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4225 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4226 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4229 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
4230 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
4231 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
4232 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
4233 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
4237 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
4238 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
4239 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
4240 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
4241 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
4244 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
4245 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
4246 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4250 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4251 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4253 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4256 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4258 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4260 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4261 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4263 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4265 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4266 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4270 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4271 exiting on the first error in a request.
4274 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4275 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4279 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4280 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4281 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4282 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4284 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4285 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4288 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4289 blocks during encryption.
4292 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4293 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4294 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4295 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4299 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4300 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4301 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4302 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4303 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4307 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4309 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4310 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4311 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4312 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4315 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4316 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4317 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4318 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4319 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4321 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4322 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4323 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4324 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4325 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4326 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4327 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4328 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4329 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4332 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4333 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4334 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4335 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4338 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4339 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4342 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4344 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4345 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4346 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4347 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4348 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4350 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4351 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4352 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4354 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4355 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4356 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4357 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4358 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4360 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4361 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4362 used by default when no-err is given.
4365 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4366 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4368 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4369 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4370 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4371 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4372 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4374 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4375 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4376 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4377 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4379 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4381 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4383 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4385 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4386 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4387 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4388 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4392 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4393 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4395 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4396 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4399 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4400 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4401 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4402 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4405 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4406 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4407 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4408 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4409 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4410 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4411 followup to PR #377.
4414 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4415 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4418 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4419 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4420 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
4421 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
4423 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
4425 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
4428 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
4429 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
4430 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 c
