5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
7 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
8 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
9 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
12 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
13 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
15 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
16 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
17 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
18 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
20 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
22 Add applications 'openssl ecdsaparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
23 (these are variants of 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
25 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
26 library. Most notably,
27 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
28 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
29 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
30 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
31 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
32 extracted before the specific public key.
33 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
35 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
36 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. The curves can be obtained from the new
39 EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
40 Also add a 'nid' field to EC_GROUP objects, which can be accessed
44 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
46 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
48 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
49 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
52 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
53 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
54 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
55 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
56 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
59 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
60 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
61 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
62 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
63 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
64 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
67 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
68 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
69 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
70 declaration has been changed from
73 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
74 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
75 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
77 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
79 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
80 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
81 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
83 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
84 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
86 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
87 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
88 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
89 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
90 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
91 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
92 always load it have also been added.
95 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
96 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
97 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
99 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
101 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
102 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
103 because it couldn't be used for anything.
105 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
106 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
107 command line option can be used to specify an
111 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
112 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
115 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
116 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
117 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
120 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
121 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
122 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
123 to work with the new engine framework.
124 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
126 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
127 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
128 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
129 to work with the new engine framework.
132 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
133 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
134 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
136 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
137 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
139 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
140 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
141 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
142 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
144 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
146 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
147 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
149 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
150 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
152 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
153 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
154 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
159 ERR_peek_last_error_line
160 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
164 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
165 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
166 still in the error queue.
167 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
169 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
171 default_algorithms = ALL
172 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
175 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
178 *) New experimental application configuration code.
181 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
182 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
183 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
184 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
186 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
187 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
189 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
190 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
192 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
193 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
196 *) New functions/macros
198 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
199 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
200 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
201 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
203 to request calling a callback function
205 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
206 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
208 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
209 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
210 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
211 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
212 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
213 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
214 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
215 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
216 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
217 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
219 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
220 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
223 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
224 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
225 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
226 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
227 the configuration scripts.
229 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
230 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
231 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
233 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
234 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
236 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
237 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
238 when reusing an existing buffer.
241 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
242 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
245 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
246 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
249 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
250 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
251 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
253 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
255 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
256 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
257 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
258 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
259 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
260 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
263 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
264 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
265 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
266 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
268 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
269 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
270 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
271 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
273 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
274 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
277 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
278 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
279 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
280 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
281 default), and then completely removed.
284 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
285 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
286 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
287 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
288 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
289 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
290 particular extension is supported.
293 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
294 to retain compatibility with existing code.
297 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
298 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
299 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
300 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
301 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
302 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
303 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
304 requires the destination to be valid.
306 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
307 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
310 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
311 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
312 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
315 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
316 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
318 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
319 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
320 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
321 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
322 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
323 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
324 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
325 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
326 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
327 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
328 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
329 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
330 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
331 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
332 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
333 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
334 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
335 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
336 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
340 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
343 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
344 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
345 become part of libeay.num as well.
348 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
349 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
350 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
351 false once a handshake has been completed.
352 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
353 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
354 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
355 client has followed the request.)
358 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
359 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
360 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
361 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
364 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
367 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
368 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
369 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
372 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
373 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
376 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
377 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
378 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
379 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
382 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
383 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
384 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
385 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
386 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
387 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
390 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
391 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
392 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
393 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
394 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
395 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
396 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
397 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
400 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
401 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
404 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
407 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
408 md_data void pointer.
411 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
412 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
413 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
414 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
415 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
416 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
419 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
420 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
421 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
422 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
423 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
424 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
425 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
426 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
427 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
428 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
429 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
430 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
431 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
432 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
433 rather than letting it slide.
435 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
436 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
437 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
440 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
441 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
442 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
443 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
444 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
445 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
446 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
447 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
448 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
451 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
452 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
453 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
454 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
455 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
457 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
460 *) Add EVP test program.
463 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
466 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
467 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
468 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
469 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
470 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
473 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
474 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
475 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
476 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
477 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
478 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
479 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
481 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
482 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions. This also reduces
483 the number of header dependencies.
488 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
489 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
490 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
491 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
492 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
496 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
497 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
498 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
499 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
504 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
505 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
507 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
510 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
511 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
512 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
513 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
514 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
515 functions prevents this.
518 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
521 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
525 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
526 revocation information is handled using the text based index
527 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
528 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
529 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
532 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
535 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
536 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
537 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
538 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
540 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
541 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
543 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
544 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
545 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
548 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
549 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
550 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
551 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
554 *) Speed up EVP routines.

572 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
573 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
575 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
576 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
577 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
578 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
579 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
580 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
583 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
584 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
587 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
588 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
589 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
590 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
592 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
593 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
594 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
595 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
596 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
597 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
601 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
602 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
603 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
604 and interrupts/cancellations.
607 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
608 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
611 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
612 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
613 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
615 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
616 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
620 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
621 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
622 than this minimum value is recommended.
625 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
626 that are easily reachable.
629 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
630 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
632 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
634 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
635 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
636 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
637 needed for static libraries under Win32.
640 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
641 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
642 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
645 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
646 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
647 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
648 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
649 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
650 internally such as S/MIME.
652 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
653 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
654 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
656 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
660 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
661 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
662 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
663 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
665 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
667 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
669 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
670 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
671 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
675 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
676 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
677 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
678 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
679 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
680 a window system and the like.
683 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
684 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
687 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
688 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
689 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
690 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
691 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
692 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
693 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
694 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
695 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
699 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
700 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
704 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
705 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
706 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
707 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
708 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
709 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
710 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
711 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
714 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
715 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
716 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
717 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
718 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
719 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
720 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
721 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
722 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
723 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
724 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
725 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
726 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
727 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
728 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
729 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
730 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
733 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
734 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
735 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
736 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
737 internal engine_int.h header.
740 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
741 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
742 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
743 modify their own ones).
746 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
747 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
748 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
749 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
750 later on via ctrl() commands.
751 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
752 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
753 structural references.
754 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
755 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
756 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
757 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
758 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
759 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
760 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
761 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
762 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
763 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
764 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
765 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
768 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
769 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
770 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
771 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
772 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
773 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
774 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
775 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
778 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
779 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
782 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
783 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
786 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
787 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
788 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
789 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
790 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
791 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
792 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
795 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
796 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
797 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
798 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
799 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
801 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
802 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
806 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
808 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
809 operations and provides various method functions that can also
810 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
812 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
813 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
815 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
816 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
817 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
819 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
822 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
823 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
825 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
827 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
828 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
829 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
832 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
833 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
836 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
837 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
838 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
839 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
840 is 40 of more characters long.
843 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
844 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
848 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
849 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
852 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
853 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
857 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
859 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
860 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
863 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
865 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
866 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
867 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
869 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
870 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
872 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
875 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
879 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
880 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
881 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
882 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
884 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
886 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
887 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
889 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
890 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
891 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
892 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
893 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
894 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
896 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
897 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
899 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
900 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
902 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
903 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
905 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
906 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
907 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
908 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
910 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
911 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
913 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
914 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
916 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
917 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
918 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
919 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
920 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
923 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
924 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
925 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
926 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
929 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
930 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
931 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
935 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
936 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
937 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
938 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
939 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
940 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
941 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
942 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
946 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
947 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
950 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
951 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
952 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
953 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
956 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
957 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
958 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
959 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
960 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
961 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
962 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
963 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
964 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
965 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
968 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
969 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
970 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
971 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
972 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
973 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
974 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
975 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
977 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
978 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
979 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
980 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
983 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
984 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
985 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
986 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
988 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
989 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
990 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
991 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
992 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
996 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
997 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
998 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
999 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1003 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1004 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1005 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1008 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1009 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1010 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1011 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1012 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1015 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1018 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1019 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1020 option to ocsp utility.
1023 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1024 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1025 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1026 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1027 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1028 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1029 the request is nonce-less.
1032 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1033 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1034 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1037 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1038 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1039 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1042 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1043 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1044 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1045 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1046 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1049 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1050 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1054 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1055 additional certificates supplied.
1058 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1059 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1063 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1064 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1067 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
1068 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt. As these are not yet
1069 official, they are not enabled by default and are not even part
1070 of the "ALL" ciphersuite alias; for now, they must be explicitly
1071 requested by specifying the new "AESdraft" ciphersuite alias. If
1072 you want the default ciphersuite list plus the new ciphersuites,
1073 use "DEFAULT:AESdraft:@STRENGTH".
1074 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1076 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1077 request to response.
1080 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1081 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1082 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1083 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1084 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1085 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1086 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1087 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1088 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1089 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1090 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1093 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1094 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1095 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1096 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1099 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1100 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1102 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1103 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1104 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1107 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1108 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1109 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1110 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1111 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1113 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1114 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1115 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1118 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1119 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1120 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1121 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1122 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1123 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1124 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1125 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1127 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1128 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1129 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1130 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1131 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1132 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1135 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1136 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1137 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1138 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1139 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1140 printout format cleaned up.
1143 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1144 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1145 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1146 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1147 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1148 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1149 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1150 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1153 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1154 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1155 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1156 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1157 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1158 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1159 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1160 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1163 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1164 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1165 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1166 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1168 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1170 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1171 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1172 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1173 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1176 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1177 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1178 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1179 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1181 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1183 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1184 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1185 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1186 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1188 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1189 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1191 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1192 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1193 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1196 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1197 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1198 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1201 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1202 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1203 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1204 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1205 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1206 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1207 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1208 functions are provided:
1210 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1211 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1212 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1213 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1215 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1216 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1217 extended allocation function is enabled.
1218 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1219 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1220 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1222 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1223 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1224 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1225 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1226 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1229 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1230 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1231 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1233 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1234 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1235 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1238 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1239 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1240 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1241 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1242 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1243 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1244 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1245 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1246 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1249 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1250 provide utility functions which an application needing
1251 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1252 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1253 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1255 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1256 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1257 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1258 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1259 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1260 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1261 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1262 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1263 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1265 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1266 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1267 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1268 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1271 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1272 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1273 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1274 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1275 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1276 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1277 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1278 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1279 will be added elsewhere.
1282 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1283 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1284 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1285 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1288 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1289 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1290 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1291 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1292 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1293 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1294 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1295 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1296 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1297 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1298 to produce the required SET OF.
1301 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1302 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1303 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1306 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1307 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1308 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1309 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1310 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1311 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1314 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1315 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1316 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1319 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1320 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1321 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1324 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1325 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1326 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1327 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1328 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1331 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1332 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1335 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1336 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1337 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1338 certifcates and CRLs.
1341 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1342 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1343 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1346 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1347 entries for variables.
1350 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1351 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1352 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1353 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1356 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1357 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1358 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1359 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1360 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1361 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1364 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1365 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1367 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1368 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1369 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1372 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1376 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1377 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1378 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1379 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1380 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1381 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1384 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1387 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1388 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1389 for now but they will eventually go away.
1392 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1393 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1394 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1395 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1396 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1397 has also been converted to the new form.
1400 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1401 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1402 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1403 for negative moduli.
1406 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1407 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1410 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1414 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1415 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1416 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1417 type-specific callbacks.
1420 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1422 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1423 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1425 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1426 in sections depending on the subject.
1429 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1433 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1434 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1435 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1436 be handled deterministically).
1437 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1439 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1440 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1441 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1444 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1447 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1448 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1449 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1450 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1451 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1454 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1455 sign of the number in question.
1457 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1459 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1460 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1461 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1462 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1463 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1466 *) New function BN_swap.
1469 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1470 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1471 results on negative inputs.
1474 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1475 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1476 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1479 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1480 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1481 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1482 and add new functions:
1491 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1495 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1497 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1498 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1500 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1501 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1502 be reduced modulo m.
1503 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1505 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1506 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1507 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1508 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1509 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1510 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1514 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1515 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1516 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1517 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1518 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1520 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1521 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1522 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1526 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1529 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1530 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1533 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1534 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1535 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1536 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1540 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1543 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1546 *) Add the following functions:
1548 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1550 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1552 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1554 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1555 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1556 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1557 libraries unless it's really needed.
1559 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1560 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1561 declarations (they differed!).
1564 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1567 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1570 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1573 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1574 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1577 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1578 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1579 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1581 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1582 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1585 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1588 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1591 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1594 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1595 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1596 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1598 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1599 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1600 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1601 different shared library filenames on each system.
1604 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1607 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1608 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1609 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1611 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1614 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1615 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1616 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1617 binary backward compatibility.
1618 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1619 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1620 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1624 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1625 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1626 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1627 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1631 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1634 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1635 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1636 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1637 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1641 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1644 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [XX xxx 2002]
1646 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
1647 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
1648 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
1650 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
1651 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1653 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
1654 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
1655 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
1656 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
1657 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
1658 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
1661 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
1662 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
1663 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
1664 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
1667 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
1670 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
1671 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
1672 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
1673 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
1674 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
1675 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
1677 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
1678 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
1679 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
1680 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
1681 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
1684 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
1685 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
1686 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
1687 BN_generate_prime().)
1689 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
1690 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
1691 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
1695 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
1696 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
1699 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
1700 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
1701 when using non-blocking I/O.
1702 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
1704 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
1705 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
1707 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
1708 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
1711 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
1712 configuration for the versions before that.
1713 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1715 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
1716 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
1717 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
1718 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
1721 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
1722 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
1723 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
1726 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
1730 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
1731 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
1733 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
1734 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1735 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1737 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
1738 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
1739 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
1740 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
1741 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
1742 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
1743 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
1746 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
1747 using a local variable.
1748 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1750 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
1751 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
1752 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1754 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
1757 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
1758 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
1760 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
1761 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
1762 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
1764 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
1766 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
1767 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
1768 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
1769 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
1772 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
1776 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
1777 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
1778 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
1779 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
1780 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
1782 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
1783 returns early because it has nothing to do.
1784 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
1786 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1787 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
1788 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
1790 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1791 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
1792 (Use engine 'keyclient')
1793 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
1795 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
1796 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
1797 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
1799 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
1801 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1802 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
1804 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
1806 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1807 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
1808 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1809 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
1811 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
1812 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
1813 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1814 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
1816 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
1817 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
1819 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
1820 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
1821 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
1824 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
1825 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
1826 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
1828 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
1830 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
1831 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
1832 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
1833 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
1834 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
1835 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
1836 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
1839 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
1840 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
1841 one of the SSL handshake functions.
1842 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
1844 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
1845 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
1846 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
1847 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
1848 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
1849 the client will at least see that alert.
1852 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
1856 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
1857 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
1858 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
1860 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
1861 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
1862 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
1863 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
1866 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
1867 before just sending a HelloRequest.
1868 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
1870 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
1871 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
1872 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
1873 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
1874 may leak via logfiles.)
1876 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
1877 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
1878 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
1879 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
1883 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
1884 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1887 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
1888 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
1889 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
1890 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
1891 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
1894 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
1895 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
1897 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
1898 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
1899 followed by modular reduction.
1900 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
1902 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
1903 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
1906 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
1907 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
1908 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
1909 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
1912 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
1915 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
1916 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
1919 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
1920 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
1921 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
1922 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
1923 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
1924 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
1926 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
1928 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
1929 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
1930 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
1931 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
1932 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
1934 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
1937 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
1938 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
1939 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
1940 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
1941 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
1942 to allow the necessary settings.
1945 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
1946 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
1947 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
1948 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
1951 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
1952 dh->length and always used
1954 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
1956 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
1957 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
1958 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
1959 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
1960 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
1965 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
1967 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
1973 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
1974 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
1975 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
1976 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
1978 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
1979 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
1980 always reject numbers >= n.
1983 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
1984 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
1985 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
1986 variable) is not atomic.
1989 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
1990 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
1991 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
1992 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
1994 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
1995 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
1997 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
1999 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2001 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2004 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2006 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2007 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2008 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2009 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2010 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2011 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2012 to traverse all of 'state'.
2014 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2015 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2016 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2018 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2019 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2021 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2022 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2023 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2024 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2025 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2026 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2027 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2028 further strengthens the PRNG.
2031 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2034 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2035 an error message in this case.
2038 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2041 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2042 positive and less than q.
2045 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2046 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2048 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2050 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2051 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2055 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2057 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2058 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2059 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2060 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2061 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2062 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2063 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2066 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2067 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2068 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2069 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2071 Both problems are now fixed.
2074 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2075 (previously it was 1024).
2078 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2079 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2082 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2085 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2086 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2087 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2090 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2091 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2092 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2093 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2094 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2095 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2096 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2097 environment variables.
2099 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2100 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2101 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2104 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2105 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2106 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2107 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2108 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2109 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2112 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2116 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2118 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2119 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2121 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2122 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2123 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2124 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2128 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2129 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2130 amount of data available.
2131 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2132 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2134 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2135 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2136 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2137 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2140 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2141 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2145 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2146 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2147 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2148 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2151 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2154 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2157 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2158 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2160 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2162 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2163 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2164 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2165 (but broken) behaviour.
2168 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2170 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2172 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2173 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2176 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2180 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2181 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2183 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2186 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2187 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2188 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2190 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2191 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2192 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2195 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2196 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2199 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2200 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2202 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2204 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2206 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2207 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2208 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2209 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2212 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2215 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2216 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2217 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2219 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2222 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2224 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2225 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2226 but the code is actually correct.
2229 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2230 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2231 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2232 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2233 and leaves the highest bit random.
2234 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2236 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2237 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2238 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2239 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2240 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2241 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2242 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2245 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2248 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2249 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2252 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2253 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2254 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2255 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2259 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2260 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2261 and break the signature.
2263 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2265 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2269 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2270 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2271 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2272 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2273 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2276 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2277 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2279 *) ./config script fixes.
2280 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2282 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2285 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2286 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2287 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2288 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2289 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2291 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2292 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2295 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2296 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2299 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2300 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2301 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2302 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2304 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2305 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2307 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2308 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2309 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2310 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2311 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2313 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2316 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2319 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2322 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2325 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2326 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2329 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2330 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2331 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2332 result of the server certificate verification.)
2335 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2336 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2337 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2341 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2342 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2343 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2344 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2345 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2346 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2347 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2348 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2351 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2352 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2353 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2354 happening the other way round.
2357 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2358 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2361 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2362 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2363 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2364 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2367 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2368 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2370 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2372 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2373 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2374 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2377 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2379 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2381 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2385 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2387 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2388 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2389 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2390 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2391 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2393 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2394 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2398 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2401 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2403 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2404 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2405 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2406 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2407 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2408 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2409 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2410 by the Finished messages.
2413 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2414 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2416 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2417 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2418 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2419 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2420 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2424 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2425 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2426 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2427 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2428 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2429 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2430 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2431 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2432 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2436 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2437 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2438 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2439 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2441 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2442 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2443 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2444 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2445 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2448 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2449 been tested well enough.
2452 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2453 it can return incorrect results.
2454 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2455 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2458 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2459 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2460 include zero length content when signing messages.
2463 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2464 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2467 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2470 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2474 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2475 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2476 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2477 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2478 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2479 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2482 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2483 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2485 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2486 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2488 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2489 random number < q in the DSA library.
2492 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2493 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2494 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2495 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2496 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2497 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2498 just makes things more complicated.)
2501 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2505 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2506 work better on such systems.
2507 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2509 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2510 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2511 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2514 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2515 if there was more than one signature.
2516 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2518 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2519 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2520 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2521 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2524 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2525 rather than always using the current time.
2528 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2529 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2530 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2531 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2532 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2533 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2535 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2536 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2538 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2540 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2541 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2542 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2543 the same hash value.
2545 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2546 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2547 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2548 with X509_STORE internally.
2550 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2551 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2553 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2554 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2555 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2556 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2557 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2558 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2559 entirely (maybe later...).
2561 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2563 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2564 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2565 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2566 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2567 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2568 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2569 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2570 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2572 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2573 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2575 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2576 to customise the verify behaviour.
2579 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2580 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2583 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2584 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2585 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2586 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2587 request is improperly encoded.
2590 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2591 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2594 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2595 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2597 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2598 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2602 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2603 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2604 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2607 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2608 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2609 BIO/fp routines also added.
2612 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2613 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2615 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2616 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2617 demos/state_machine.
2620 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2621 generation and verification.
2624 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2625 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2626 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2627 encode and decode it manually.
2630 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2632 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2634 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2635 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2636 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2637 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2639 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2640 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2641 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2642 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2643 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2646 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2649 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2650 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2651 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2653 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2654 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
2655 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
2656 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2657 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2658 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2659 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2660 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
2662 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
2663 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
2665 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
2667 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
2668 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
2669 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
2673 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
2674 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
2675 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
2676 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
2680 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
2682 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
2685 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
2686 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
2687 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
2688 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
2689 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
2690 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
2691 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
2692 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
2693 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
2694 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
2695 short or long names are found.
2698 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
2699 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
2701 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
2702 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
2703 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
2704 version rollback attacks was not effective.
2706 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
2707 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
2708 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
2709 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
2712 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
2713 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
2714 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
2717 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
2718 these print out strings and name structures based on various
2719 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
2720 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
2721 to allow the various flags to be set.
2724 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
2725 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
2726 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
2727 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
2728 dates to be checked.
2731 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
2732 negative public key encodings) on by default,
2733 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
2736 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
2737 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
2738 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
2741 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
2742 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
2745 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
2746 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
2747 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
2748 are always statically linked for now, but there are
2749 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
2750 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
2753 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
2754 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
2758 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
2762 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
2763 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
2764 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
2765 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
2766 form signing output easier to verify.
2769 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
2772 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
2773 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
2774 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
2775 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
2776 are needed because all other string types have virtually
2777 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
2778 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
2779 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
2780 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
2781 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
2784 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
2786 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
2787 the syntax given in objects.README.
2788 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
2790 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
2793 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
2794 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
2795 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
2796 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
2797 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
2798 consistent name changes.
2801 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
2804 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
2805 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
2806 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
2807 environment variable, or the default random state file.
2810 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
2811 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
2812 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
2816 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
2817 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
2818 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
2819 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
2822 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
2823 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
2824 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
2825 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
2826 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
2827 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
2828 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
2829 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
2830 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
2831 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
2832 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
2835 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
2836 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
2837 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
2838 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
2839 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
2840 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
2841 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
2842 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
2843 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
2844 algorithm to openssl-dev.
2847 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
2848 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
2849 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
2850 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
2852 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
2853 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
2854 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
2855 omit any duplicate addresses.
2858 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
2859 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
2862 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
2863 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
2864 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
2865 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
2866 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
2869 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
2871 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
2872 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
2873 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
2874 Free => OPENSSL_free
2877 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
2878 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
2881 *) CygWin32 support.
2882 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
2884 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
2885 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
2886 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
2887 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
2888 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
2892 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
2893 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
2894 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
2895 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
2896 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
2897 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
2898 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
2901 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
2902 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
2903 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
2904 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
2905 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
2906 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
2907 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
2908 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
2909 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
2910 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
2911 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
2914 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
2915 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
2916 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
2917 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
2918 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
2920 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
2921 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
2922 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
2923 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
2924 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
2926 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
2929 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
2930 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
2931 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
2932 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
2934 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
2936 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
2939 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
2940 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
2941 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
2944 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
2945 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
2946 any installed hardware versions can.
2949 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
2950 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
2951 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
2955 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
2956 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
2957 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
2958 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
2959 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
2961 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
2962 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
2965 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
2966 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
2969 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
2970 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
2971 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
2975 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
2978 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
2979 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
2980 but no ssl client purpose.
2981 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
2983 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
2984 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
2985 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
2986 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
2987 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
2988 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
2989 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
2990 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
2991 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
2992 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
2993 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
2996 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
2997 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
2998 be obtained from the error queue.
3001 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3002 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3003 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3004 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3007 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3010 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3011 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3012 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3013 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3014 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3017 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3018 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3019 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3020 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3021 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3024 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3025 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3026 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3028 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3030 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3031 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3032 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3033 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3034 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3035 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3036 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3037 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3038 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3039 or "the configuration storage API"...
3041 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3043 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3044 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3046 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3048 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3050 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3051 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3052 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3053 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3054 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3055 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3056 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3058 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3059 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3062 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3063 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3064 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3065 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3068 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3069 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3070 them in a portable way.
3071 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3073 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3075 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3077 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3078 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3080 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3081 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3082 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3085 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3086 was larger than the MD block size.
3087 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3089 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3090 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3091 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3092 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3096 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3097 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3098 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3100 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3102 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3104 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3105 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3106 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3107 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3108 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3109 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3111 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3112 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3114 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3115 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3118 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3121 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3122 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3124 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3125 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3126 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3127 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3130 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3131 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3132 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3133 does not suppress any output.
3136 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3137 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3138 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3139 with all the associated security issues.
3141 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3142 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3143 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3144 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3145 use the value in the default purpose.
3148 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3149 and fix a memory leak.
3152 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3153 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3154 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3155 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3158 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3159 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3160 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3161 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3164 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3165 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3166 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3169 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3170 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3173 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3174 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3178 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3179 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3182 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3183 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3184 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3187 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3188 number generation fails.
3191 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3194 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3195 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3197 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3200 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3201 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3203 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3204 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3206 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3208 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3209 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3212 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3213 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3215 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3216 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3219 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3220 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3221 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3222 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3223 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3224 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3226 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3227 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3228 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3232 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3233 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3234 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3235 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3236 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3237 counter, some don't.)
3238 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3239 counters or duplicate objects.
3242 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3243 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3246 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3247 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3248 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3250 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3251 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3252 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3256 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3257 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3260 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3261 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3262 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3266 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3267 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3268 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3271 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3272 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3273 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3274 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3275 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3276 should work without changes.
3279 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3280 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3281 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3282 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3283 must be defined. E.g.,
3284 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3285 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3286 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3287 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3289 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3293 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3294 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3295 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3298 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3299 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3300 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3301 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3304 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3305 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3306 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3307 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3308 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3309 is prompted for as usual.
3312 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3313 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3314 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3315 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3317 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3318 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3319 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3320 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3323 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3326 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3330 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3333 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3336 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3340 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3343 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3346 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3347 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3350 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3351 options to produce them.
3354 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3355 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3358 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3362 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3363 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3364 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3365 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3366 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3367 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3368 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3371 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3374 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3375 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3376 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3379 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3380 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3382 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3383 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3386 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3387 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3388 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3392 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3393 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3395 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3396 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3397 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3398 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3399 generation becomes much faster.
3401 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3402 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3403 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3404 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3405 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3406 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3407 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3408 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3409 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3410 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3413 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3414 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3415 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3416 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3417 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3418 trial division stage.
3421 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3425 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3428 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3431 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3432 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3433 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3437 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3438 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3439 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3442 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3443 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3444 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3445 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3447 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3448 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3451 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3454 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3455 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3456 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3457 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3460 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3461 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3462 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3465 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3466 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3467 (instead of parameters) in future.
3470 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3471 when a new cipher list is set.
3474 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3475 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3478 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3479 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3480 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3482 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3483 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3484 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3485 an error is flagged.
3487 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3488 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3489 the readability was also increased :-)
3490 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3492 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3493 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3494 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3495 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3499 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3500 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3503 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3504 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3505 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3506 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3509 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3510 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3511 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3512 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3513 because they handle more complex structures.)
3516 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3517 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3518 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3519 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3521 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3522 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3523 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3524 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3525 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3526 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3527 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3530 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3531 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3532 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3533 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3534 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3537 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3540 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3541 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3542 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3543 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3544 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3547 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3551 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3552 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3553 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3554 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3557 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3560 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3561 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3562 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3563 international characters are used.
3565 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3566 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3567 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3571 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3572 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3573 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3576 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3577 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3578 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3579 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3580 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3581 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3583 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3584 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3585 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3586 be handled by the string table functions.
3588 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3589 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3590 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3591 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3592 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3596 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3597 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3598 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3599 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3600 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3602 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3603 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3604 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3605 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3608 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3609 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3610 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3611 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3612 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3616 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3617 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3618 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3619 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3620 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3621 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3622 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3623 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3625 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3626 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3627 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3630 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3631 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3632 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3633 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3634 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3635 support to pkcs8 application.
3638 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3639 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3640 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3641 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3642 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3643 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
3646 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
3647 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
3648 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
3649 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
3650 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
3654 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
3655 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
3656 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
3657 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
3661 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
3662 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
3663 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
3664 and any application specific purposes.
3666 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
3667 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
3668 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
3669 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
3670 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
3671 if the certificate is self signed.
3674 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
3675 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
3678 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
3679 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
3680 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
3681 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
3684 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
3685 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
3686 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
3687 Update documentation.
3690 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
3691 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
3692 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
3693 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
3694 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
3697 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
3699 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
3701 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
3702 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
3703 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
3704 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
3705 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
3706 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
3707 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
3708 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
3709 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
3710 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
3712 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
3714 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3715 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3716 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
3717 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
3718 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
3720 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
3721 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
3722 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
3723 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
3724 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
3725 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
3726 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
3727 request additional information:
3728 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
3729 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
3731 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
3732 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
3733 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
3736 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
3737 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
3740 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
3743 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
3744 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3746 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
3747 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
3748 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
3752 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
3753 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
3754 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
3756 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
3757 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
3758 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
3759 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
3760 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
3761 included in OpenSSL.
3764 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
3765 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
3766 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
3767 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
3768 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
3769 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
3772 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
3776 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
3777 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
3778 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
3779 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
3780 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
3784 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
3788 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
3789 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
3790 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
3791 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
3792 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
3793 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
3794 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
3795 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
3796 be maintained manually.
3798 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
3799 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
3800 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
3801 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
3802 work because people forget to call this function]
3803 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
3804 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
3805 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
3808 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
3809 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
3810 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
3811 should be discouraged from doing it.
3814 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
3815 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
3816 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
3817 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
3818 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
3819 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
3822 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
3823 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
3824 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
3826 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
3827 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
3828 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
3830 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
3831 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
3832 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
3833 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
3834 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
3835 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
3837 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
3838 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
3839 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
3841 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
3842 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
3845 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
3846 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
3847 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
3848 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
3851 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
3854 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
3855 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
3856 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
3857 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
3858 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
3859 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
3860 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
3861 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
3862 keys so we should be OK.
3864 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
3865 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
3866 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
3867 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
3868 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
3869 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
3870 stay in the name of compatibility.
3872 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
3873 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
3874 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
3876 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
3877 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
3878 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
3879 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
3880 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
3881 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
3885 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
3886 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
3887 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
3888 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
3889 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
3890 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
3891 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
3892 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
3893 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
3894 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
3895 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
3896 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
3897 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
3900 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
3903 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
3904 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
3905 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
3906 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
3907 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
3908 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
3909 single self signed certificate. This means that:
3910 openssl verify ss.pem
3911 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
3912 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
3916 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
3917 (and add it to external session representation).
3918 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
3919 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
3920 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
3921 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
3922 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
3923 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
3925 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
3927 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
3928 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
3929 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
3930 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
3932 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
3933 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
3934 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
3937 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
3938 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
3939 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
3943 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
3944 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
3945 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
3947 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
3948 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
3949 certificate auxiliary information.
3952 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
3956 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
3957 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
3958 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
3959 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
3960 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
3961 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
3962 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
3965 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
3966 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
3969 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
3970 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
3971 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
3972 manpages and fix a few bugs.
3975 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
3978 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
3979 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
3982 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
3983 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
3984 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
3985 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
3986 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
3987 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
3988 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
3989 using the new 'x509' options.
3991 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
3992 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
3993 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
3994 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
3998 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
3999 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
4000 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
4001 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
4002 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
4005 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
4006 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
4007 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
4008 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
4009 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
4010 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
4011 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
4012 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
4013 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
4014 the key length and effective key length are equal.
4017 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
4018 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
4019 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
4020 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
4021 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
4022 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
4023 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
4026 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
4027 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
4028 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
4029 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
4030 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
4031 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
4032 openssl.cnf for more info.
4035 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
4036 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
4037 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
4038 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
4039 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
4040 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
4041 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
4042 md should be large enough anyway.
4045 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
4046 for handling the random seed file.
4048 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
4050 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
4053 x509 (when signing).
4054 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
4055 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
4056 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
4058 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
4059 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
4060 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
4061 that support '-rand'.
4064 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
4065 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
4068 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
4069 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
4072 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
4073 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
4074 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
4075 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
4079 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
4080 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
4081 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
4082 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
4085 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
4086 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
4087 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
4088 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
4089 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
4090 print out all the purposes.
4093 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
4097 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
4098 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
4099 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
4100 single function call.
4103 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
4104 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
4107 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
4108 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
4109 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
4112 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
4113 when producing the local key id.
4114 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4116 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
4117 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
4118 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
4122 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
4123 a public key to be input or output. For example:
4124 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
4125 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
4128 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
4129 in the message. This was handled by allowing
4130 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
4131 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
4133 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
4134 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
4135 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
4136 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4138 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
4139 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
4140 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
4141 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
4142 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
4143 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
4144 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
4145 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
4146 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
4147 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
4148 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
4149 trivial: move one line.
4150 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
4152 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
4153 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
4154 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
4155 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
4156 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
4157 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
4158 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
4159 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
4160 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
4161 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
4162 with an event loop for example.
4165 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
4166 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
4167 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
4168 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
4169 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
4170 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
4171 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
4172 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
4173 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
4176 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
4177 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
4178 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
4179 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
4180 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
4181 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
4184 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
4185 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
4186 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
4187 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
4189 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
4190 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
4191 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
4192 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
4196 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
4197 (still largely untested)
4200 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
4201 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
4204 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
4205 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
4208 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
4209 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
4210 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
4213 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
4214 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
4215 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
4216 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
4217 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
4220 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
4223 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
4224 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
4225 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
4226 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
4227 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
4231 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
4232 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
4235 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
4238 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
4239 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
4240 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
4241 are otherwise ignored at present.
4244 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
4245 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
4246 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
4247 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
4248 copied until the next read.
4251 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
4252 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
4253 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
4256 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
4257 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
4258 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
4259 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
4260 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
4261 associated functions.
4264 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
4265 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
4266 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
4267 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
4268 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
4269 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
4270 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
4271 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
4272 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
4276 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
4277 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
4278 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
4279 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
4282 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
4283 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
4284 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
4285 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
4286 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
4290 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
4291 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
4295 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
4296 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
4297 extensions to be obtained and added.
4300 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
4301 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
4304 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
4306 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4307 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4309 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4310 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4312 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4316 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4317 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4318 DH parameters contain its length).
4320 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4321 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4322 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4323 much more efficient
