5 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2001]
7 OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001 and 9 July 2001)
8 and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were developped in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
10 Change log entries are tagged as follows:
11 -) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b only
12 *) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b and 0.9.7
13 +) applies to 0.9.7 only
15 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
16 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
17 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
18 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
20 +) Cleanup of EVP macros.
23 +) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
27 +) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
28 revocation information is handled using the text based index
29 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
30 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
31 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
34 +) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
37 +) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
38 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
39 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
40 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
42 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
43 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
45 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
46 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
47 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
50 +) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
51 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
52 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
53 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
56 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6b released [9 July 2001]
58 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
59 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
60 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
61 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
62 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
63 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
64 to traverse all of 'state'.
66 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
67 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
68 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
70 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
71 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
73 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
74 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
75 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
76 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
77 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
78 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
79 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
80 further strengthens the PRNG.
83 +) Speed up EVP routines.
86 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
87 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
88 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k
89 des-cbc 4394.32k 5575.92k 5807.44k 5848.37k 5841.30k
91 des-cbc 3482.66k 5069.49k 5496.39k 5614.16k 5639.28k

98 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
101 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
104 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
105 an error message in this case.
108 +) Added the OS2-EMX target.
109 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
111 +) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
112 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
113 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
114 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
115 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
116 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
119 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
122 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
123 positive and less than q.
126 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
127 and with pssibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
130 +) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
131 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
132 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
133 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
135 +) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
136 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
137 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
138 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
139 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
140 Addapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
144 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
145 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
146 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
147 and interrupts/cancelations.
150 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
151 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
153 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
155 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
156 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
159 +) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
160 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
164 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
166 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
167 RSA encryption was accidentily removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
168 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
169 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
170 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
171 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
172 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
175 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
176 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
177 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
178 detect the supposedly ignored error.
180 Both problems are now fixed.
183 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
184 (previously it was 1024).
187 +) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
188 tidy up some unecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
189 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
191 +) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
192 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
196 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
197 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
200 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
203 +) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
204 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
205 than this minimum value is recommended.
208 +) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
209 that are easily reachable.
212 +) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
213 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
215 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
217 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
218 delcare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
219 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
220 needed for static libraries under Win32.
223 +) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
224 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
225 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
228 +) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
229 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
230 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
231 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
232 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
233 internally such as S/MIME.
235 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
236 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
237 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
239 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
243 +) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
244 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
245 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
246 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
248 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
250 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
252 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
253 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
254 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
258 +) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
259 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
260 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
261 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
262 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
263 a window system and the like.
266 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
267 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
268 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
271 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
272 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
273 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
274 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
275 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
276 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
277 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
278 environment variables.
280 +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
281 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
284 +) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
285 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
286 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
287 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
288 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
289 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
290 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
291 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
292 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
296 +) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
297 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
301 +) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
302 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
303 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
304 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
305 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
306 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
307 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
308 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
311 +) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
312 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
313 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
314 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
315 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
316 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
317 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
318 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
319 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
320 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
321 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
322 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
323 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
324 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
325 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
326 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
327 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
330 +) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
331 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
332 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
333 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
334 internal engine_int.h header.
337 +) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
338 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
339 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
340 modify their own ones).
343 +) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
344 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
345 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
346 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
347 later on via ctrl() commands.
348 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
349 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
350 structural references.
351 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
352 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
353 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
354 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
355 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
356 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
357 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
358 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
359 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
360 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
361 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
362 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
365 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
366 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
367 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
370 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
371 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
372 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
373 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
374 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegaly release the lock
375 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
378 +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
379 to the algorithm using long divison. The binary algorithm can be
380 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
381 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
382 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
383 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
384 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
385 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
388 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
392 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6a released [5 Apr 2001]
394 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
395 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
397 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
398 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
399 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
400 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
404 +) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
405 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
408 -) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
409 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
410 amount of data available.
411 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
412 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
414 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
415 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
416 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
417 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
420 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
421 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
425 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
426 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
427 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
428 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
431 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
434 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
437 -) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
438 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
440 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
442 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
443 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
444 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
445 (but broken) behaviour.
448 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
450 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
452 +) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
453 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
456 +) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
457 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
458 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
459 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
460 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
461 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
462 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
465 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
466 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
469 +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication
470 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally
471 including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP.
472 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
473 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
477 +) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
479 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
480 operations and provides various method functions that can also
481 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
483 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
484 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
486 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
487 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
488 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
490 +) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
493 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
494 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
496 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
498 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
499 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
500 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
503 +) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
504 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
507 +) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
508 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
509 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
510 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
511 is 40 of more characters long.
514 +) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
515 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
519 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
523 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
524 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
526 +) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
527 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
530 +) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
531 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
535 +) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
537 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
538 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
541 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
543 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
544 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
545 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
547 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
548 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
550 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
553 +) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
557 +) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
558 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
559 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
560 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
562 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
564 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
565 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
567 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
570 +) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
571 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
572 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
573 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
574 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
575 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
577 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
578 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
580 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
581 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
583 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
584 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
586 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
587 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
588 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
589 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
591 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
592 header file everywere where the defined globals are used.
594 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
595 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bt different.
597 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
598 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
599 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
600 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
601 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
604 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
605 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
606 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
608 +) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
609 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
610 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
611 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
614 +) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
615 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
616 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
620 +) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
621 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
622 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
623 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
624 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock innacuracy. Instead
625 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
626 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
627 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
631 +) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
632 OID rather that just UNKOWN.
635 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
636 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
637 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
640 +) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
641 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
642 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
643 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
646 +) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
647 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
648 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
649 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
650 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
651 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
652 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
653 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
654 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
655 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
658 +) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
659 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
660 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
661 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
662 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
663 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
664 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
665 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
667 +) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse prprocessor conditionals
668 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
669 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
670 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
673 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
674 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
677 +) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
678 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
679 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
680 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
682 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
683 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
684 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
685 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
686 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
690 +) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
691 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
692 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
693 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
697 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
698 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
700 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
702 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
704 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
705 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
706 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
707 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
710 +) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
711 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
712 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
715 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
718 +) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
719 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
720 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
721 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
722 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
725 +) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
728 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
729 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
730 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
732 +) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
733 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
734 option to ocsp utility.
737 +) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
738 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
739 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
740 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
741 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
742 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
743 the request is nonce-less.
746 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
749 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
751 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
752 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
753 but the code is actually correct.
756 +) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
757 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
758 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
761 +) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
762 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
763 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
766 +) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
767 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
768 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
769 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
772 +) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
773 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
777 +) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
778 additional certificates supplied.
781 +) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
782 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
786 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
787 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
788 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
789 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
790 and leaves the highest bit random.
791 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
793 +) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
794 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
795 AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
796 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
797 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
799 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
800 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
801 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
802 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
803 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
804 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
805 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
808 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
811 +) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
815 +) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
816 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
817 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
818 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
819 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
820 reponse and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
821 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
822 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
823 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
824 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
825 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
828 +) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
829 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
830 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests tha public_key
831 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
834 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
835 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
838 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
839 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
840 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
841 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
845 +) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
846 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
848 +) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
849 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
850 reponse then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
853 -) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
854 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
855 and break the signature.
857 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
859 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
863 +) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
864 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
865 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
866 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
867 <support@securenetterm.com>]
869 +) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
870 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
871 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
874 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
875 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
876 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
877 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
878 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
881 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
882 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
884 *) ./config script fixes.
885 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
887 +) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
888 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
889 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
890 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
891 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
892 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
893 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
894 <support@securenetterm.com>]
896 +) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
897 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
898 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
899 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
900 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
901 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
904 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
907 +) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
908 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
909 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
910 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
911 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
912 printout format cleaned up.
915 +) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
916 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
917 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
918 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
919 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
920 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
921 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
922 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
925 +) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
926 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
927 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
928 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
929 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
930 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
931 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
932 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
935 +) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
936 extensions from a separate configuration file.
937 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
938 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
940 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
942 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
943 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
944 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
945 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
946 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
948 +) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
949 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
950 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
951 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
954 +) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
955 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
956 the given serial number (according to the index file).
957 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
959 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
961 +) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
962 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
963 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
964 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
966 +) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
967 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
969 +) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
970 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
971 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
974 +) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
975 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
976 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
979 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
980 call failed, free the DSA structure.
983 +) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
984 file name and line number information in additional arguments
985 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
986 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
987 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
988 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
989 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
990 functions are provided:
992 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
993 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
994 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
995 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
997 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
998 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
999 extended allocation function is enabled.
1000 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1001 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1002 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1004 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
1005 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
1008 +) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1009 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1010 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1011 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1012 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1015 +) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1016 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1017 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1019 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1020 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1021 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1024 +) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1025 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1026 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1027 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1028 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1029 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1030 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1031 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1032 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1035 +) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1036 provide utility functions which an application needing
1037 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1038 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1039 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1041 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1042 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1043 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1044 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1045 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1046 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1047 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1048 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1049 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1051 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1052 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1053 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1054 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1057 +) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1058 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1059 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1060 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1061 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1062 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1063 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1064 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1065 will be added elsewhere.
1068 +) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1069 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1070 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1071 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1074 +) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1075 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1076 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1077 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1078 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1079 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1080 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1081 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1082 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1083 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1084 to produce the required SET OF.
1087 +) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1088 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1089 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1092 +) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1093 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1094 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1095 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1096 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1097 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1100 +) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1101 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1102 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1105 +) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1106 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1107 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1110 +) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1111 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1112 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1113 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1114 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1117 +) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1118 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1121 +) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1122 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1123 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1124 certifcates and CRLs.
1127 +) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1128 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1129 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1132 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
1133 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
1134 when writing a 32767 byte record.
1135 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
1137 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
1138 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
1140 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
1141 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
1142 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
1143 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
1144 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
1146 +) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1147 entries for variables.
1150 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
1153 +) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1154 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1155 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1156 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1159 +) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1160 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1161 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1162 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1163 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1164 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1167 +) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1168 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1170 +) Move common extension printing code to new function
1171 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1172 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1175 +) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1179 +) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1180 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1181 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1182 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1183 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1184 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1187 +) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1190 +) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1191 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1192 for now but they will eventually go away.
1195 +) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1196 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1197 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1198 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1199 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1200 has also been converted to the new form.
1203 +) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1204 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1205 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1206 for negative moduli.
1209 +) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1210 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1213 +) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1217 +) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1218 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1219 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1220 type-specific callbacks.
1223 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
1226 +) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1228 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1229 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1231 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
1234 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
1237 +) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1238 in sections depending on the subject.
1241 +) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1245 +) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1246 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1247 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1248 be handled deterministically).
1249 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1251 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
1252 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
1255 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
1256 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
1257 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
1258 result of the server certificate verification.)
1261 +) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1262 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1263 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1266 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
1267 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
1268 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
1272 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
1273 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
1274 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
1275 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
1276 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
1277 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
1278 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
1279 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
1282 +) New function BN_kronecker.
1285 +) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1286 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1287 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1288 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1289 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1292 +) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1293 sign of the number in question.
1295 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1297 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1298 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1299 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1300 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1301 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1304 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
1305 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
1306 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
1307 happening the other way round.
1310 +) New function BN_swap.
1313 +) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1314 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1315 results on negative inputs.
1318 +) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1319 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1320 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1323 +) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1324 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1325 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1326 and add new functions:
1335 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1339 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1341 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1342 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1344 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1345 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1346 be reduced modulo m.
1347 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1349 +) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1350 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1351 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1352 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1353 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1354 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1358 +) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1359 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1360 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1361 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1362 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1364 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1365 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1366 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1370 +) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1373 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
1374 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
1377 +) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1378 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1381 +) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1382 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1383 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1384 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1388 +) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1391 +) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1394 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
1395 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
1396 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
1397 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
1400 +) Add the following functions:
1402 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1404 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1406 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1408 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1409 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1410 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1411 libraries unless it's really needed.
1413 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1414 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1415 declarations (they differed!).
1418 +) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1421 +) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1424 +) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1427 +) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1428 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1431 +) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
1432 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
1434 +) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1435 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1436 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1438 +) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
1440 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
1442 +) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1443 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1446 +) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1449 +) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1452 +) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1455 +) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1456 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1457 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1459 +) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1460 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1461 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1462 different shared library filenames on each system.
1465 +) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1468 +) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX
1471 +) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1472 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1473 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1475 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1478 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1479 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1480 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1481 binary backward compatibility.
1482 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1483 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1484 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1488 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
1489 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
1491 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
1493 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
1494 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
1495 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
1498 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
1500 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
1502 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
1506 +) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1507 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1508 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1509 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1513 +) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1516 +) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1517 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1518 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1519 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1523 +) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1526 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
1528 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
1529 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
1530 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
1531 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
1532 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
1534 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
1535 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
1539 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
1542 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
1544 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
1545 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
1546 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
1547 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
1548 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
1549 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
1550 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
1551 by the Finished messages.
1554 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
1555 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
1557 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
1558 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
1559 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
1560 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
1561 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
1565 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
1566 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
1567 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
1568 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
1569 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
1570 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
1571 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
1572 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
1573 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
1577 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
1578 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
1579 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
1580 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
1582 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
1583 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
1584 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
1585 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
1586 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
1589 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
1590 been tested well enough.
1593 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
1594 it can return incorrect results.
1595 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
1596 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
1599 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
1600 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
1601 include zero length content when signing messages.
1604 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
1605 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
1608 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
1611 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
1615 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
1616 packages. The default package contains applications, application
1617 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
1618 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
1619 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
1620 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
1623 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
1624 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
1626 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
1627 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
1629 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
1630 random number < q in the DSA library.
1633 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
1634 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
1635 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
1636 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
1637 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
1638 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
1639 just makes things more complicated.)
1642 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
1646 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
1647 work better on such systems.
1648 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
1650 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
1651 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
1652 keyid to the certificates aux info.
1655 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
1656 if there was more than one signature.
1657 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
1659 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
1660 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
1661 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
1662 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
1665 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
1666 rather than always using the current time.
1669 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
1670 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
1671 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
1672 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
1673 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
1674 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
1676 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
1677 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
1679 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
1681 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
1682 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
1683 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
1684 the same hash value.
1686 As a result various functions (which were all internal
1687 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
1688 structure. This will break anything that messed round
1689 with X509_STORE internally.
1691 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
1692 exact match, rather than just subject name.
1694 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
1695 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
1696 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
1697 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
1698 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
1699 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
1700 entirely (maybe later...).
1702 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
1704 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
1705 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
1706 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
1707 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
1708 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
1709 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
1710 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
1711 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
1713 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
1714 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1716 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
1717 to customise the verify behaviour.
1720 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
1721 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
1724 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
1725 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
1726 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
1727 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
1728 request is improperly encoded.
1731 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
1732 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
1735 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
1736 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
1738 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
1739 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
1743 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
1744 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
1745 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
1748 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
1749 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
1750 BIO/fp routines also added.
1753 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
1754 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
1756 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
1757 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
1758 demos/state_machine.
1761 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
1762 generation and verification.
1765 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
1766 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
1767 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
1768 encode and decode it manually.
1771 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
1773 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
1775 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
1776 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
1777 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
1778 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
1780 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
1781 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
1782 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
1783 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
1784 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
1787 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
1790 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
1791 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
1792 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
1794 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
1795 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
1796 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
1797 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
1798 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
1799 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
1800 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
1801 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
1803 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
1804 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
1806 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
1808 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
1809 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
1810 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
1814 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
1815 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
1816 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
1817 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
1821 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
1823 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
1826 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
1827 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
1828 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
1829 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
1830 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
1831 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
1832 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
1833 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
1834 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
1835 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
1836 short or long names are found.
1839 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
1840 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
1842 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
1843 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
1844 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
1845 version rollback attacks was not effective.
1847 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
1848 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
1849 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
1850 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
1853 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
1854 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
1855 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
1858 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
1859 these print out strings and name structures based on various
1860 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
1861 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
1862 to allow the various flags to be set.
1865 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
1866 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
1867 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
1868 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
1869 dates to be checked.
1872 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
1873 negative public key encodings) on by default,
1874 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
1877 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
1878 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
1879 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
1882 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
1883 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
1886 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
1887 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
1888 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
1889 are always statically linked for now, but there are
1890 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
1891 This has been tested on Linux and True64.
1894 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
1895 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
1899 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
1903 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
1904 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
1905 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
1906 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
1907 form signing output easier to verify.
1910 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
1913 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
1914 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
1915 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
1916 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
1917 are needed because all other string types have virtually
1918 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
1919 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
1920 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
1921 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
1922 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
1925 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
1927 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
1928 the syntax given in objects.README.
1929 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
1931 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
1934 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
1935 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
1936 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
1937 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
1938 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
1939 consistent name changes.
1942 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
1945 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
1946 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
1947 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
1948 environment variable, or the default random state file.
1951 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
1952 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
1953 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
1957 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
1958 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
1959 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
1960 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
1963 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
1964 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
1965 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
1966 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
1967 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
1968 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
1969 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
1970 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
1971 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
1972 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
1973 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
1976 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
1977 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
1978 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
1979 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
1980 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
1981 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
1982 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
1983 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
1984 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
1985 algorithm to openssl-dev.
1988 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
1989 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
1990 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
1991 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
1993 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
1994 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
1995 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
1996 omit any duplicate addresses.
1999 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
2000 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
2003 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
2004 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
2005 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
2006 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
2007 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
2010 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
2012 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
2013 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
2014 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
2015 Free => OPENSSL_free
2018 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
2019 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
2022 *) CygWin32 support.
2023 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
2025 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
2026 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
2027 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
2028 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
2029 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
2033 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
2034 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
2035 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
2036 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
2037 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
2038 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
2039 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
2042 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
2043 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
2044 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
2045 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
2046 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
2047 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
2048 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
2049 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
2050 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
2051 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
2052 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
2055 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
2056 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
2057 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
2058 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
2059 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
2061 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
2062 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
2063 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
2064 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
2065 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
2067 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
2070 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
2071 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
2072 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
2073 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
2075 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
2077 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
2080 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
2081 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
2082 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
2085 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
2086 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
2087 any installed hardware versions can.
2090 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
2091 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
2092 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
2096 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
2097 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
2098 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
2099 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
2100 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
2102 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
2103 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
2106 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
2107 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
2110 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
2111 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
2112 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
2116 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
2119 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
2120 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
2121 but no ssl client purpose.
2122 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
2124 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
2125 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
2126 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
2127 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
2128 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
2129 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
2130 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
2131 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
2132 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
2133 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
2134 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
2137 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
2138 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
2139 be obtained from the error queue.
2142 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
2143 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
2144 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
2145 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
2148 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
2151 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
2152 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
2153 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
2154 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
2155 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
2158 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
2159 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
2160 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
2161 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
2162 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
2165 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
2166 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
2167 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
2169 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
2171 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
2172 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
2173 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
2174 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
2175 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
2176 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
2177 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
2178 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
2179 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
2180 or "the configuration storage API"...
2182 The new configuration file reading functions are:
2184 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
2185 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
2187 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
2189 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
2191 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
2192 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
2193 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
2194 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
2195 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
2196 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
2197 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
2199 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
2200 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
2203 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
2204 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
2205 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
2206 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
2209 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
2210 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
2211 them in a portable way.
2212 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
2214 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
2216 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
2218 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
2219 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
2221 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
2222 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
2223 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
2226 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
2227 was larger than the MD block size.
2228 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
2230 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
2231 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
2232 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
2233 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
2237 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
2238 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
2239 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
2241 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
2243 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
2245 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
2246 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
2247 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
2248 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
2249 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
2250 Additional arguments are always ignored.
2252 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
2253 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
2255 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
2256 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
2259 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
2262 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
2263 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
2265 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
2266 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
2267 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
2268 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
2271 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
2272 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
2273 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
2274 does not suppress any output.
2277 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
2278 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
2279 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
2280 with all the associated security issues.
2282 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
2283 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
2284 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
2285 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
2286 use the value in the default purpose.
2289 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
2290 and fix a memory leak.
2293 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
2294 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
2295 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
2296 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
2299 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
2300 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
2301 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
2302 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
2305 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
2306 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
2307 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
2310 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
2311 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
2314 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
2315 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
2319 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
2320 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
2323 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
2324 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
2325 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
2328 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
2329 number generation fails.
2332 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
2335 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
2336 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
2338 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
2341 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
2342 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
2344 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
2345 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
2347 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
2349 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
2350 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
2353 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
2354 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
2356 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
2357 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
2360 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
2361 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
2362 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
2363 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
2364 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
2365 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
2367 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
2368 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
2369 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
2373 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
2374 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
2375 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
2376 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
2377 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
2378 counter, some don't.)
2379 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
2380 counters or duplicate objects.
2383 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
2384 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
2387 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
2388 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
2389 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
2391 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
2392 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
2393 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
2397 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
2398 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
2401 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
2402 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
2403 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
2407 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
2408 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
2409 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
2412 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
2413 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
2414 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
2415 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
2416 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
2417 should work without changes.
2420 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
2421 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
2422 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
2423 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
2424 must be defined. E.g.,
2425 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
2426 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
2427 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
2428 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
2430 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
2434 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
2435 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
2436 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
2439 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
2440 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
2441 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
2442 request header lines. Some software needs this.
2445 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
2446 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
2447 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
2448 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
2449 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
2450 is prompted for as usual.
2453 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
2454 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
2455 autodetect the card and use it if present.
2456 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
2458 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
2459 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
2460 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
2461 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
2464 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
2467 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
2471 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
2474 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
2477 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
2481 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
2484 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
2487 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
2488 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
2491 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
2492 options to produce them.
2495 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
2496 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
2499 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
2503 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
2504 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
2505 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
2506 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
2507 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
2508 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
2509 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
2512 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
2515 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
2516 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
2517 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
2520 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
2521 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
2523 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
2524 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
2527 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
2528 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
2529 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
2533 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
2534 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
2536 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
2537 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
2538 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
2539 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
2540 generation becomes much faster.
2542 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
2543 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
2544 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
2545 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
2546 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
2547 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
2548 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
2549 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
2550 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
2551 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
2554 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
2555 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
2556 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
2557 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
2558 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
2559 trial division stage.
2562 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
2566 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
2569 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
2572 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
2573 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
2574 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
2578 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
2579 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
2580 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
2583 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
2584 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
2585 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
2586 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2588 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
2589 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
2592 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
2595 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
2596 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
2597 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
2598 Rabin-Miller iterations.
2601 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
2602 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
2603 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
2606 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
2607 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
2608 (instead of parameters) in future.
2611 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
2612 when a new cipher list is set.
2615 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
2616 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
2619 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
2620 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
2621 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
2623 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
2624 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
2625 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
2626 an error is flagged.
2628 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
2629 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
2630 the readability was also increased :-)
2631 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2633 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
2634 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
2635 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
2636 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
2640 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
2641 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
2644 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
2645 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
2646 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
2647 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
2650 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
2651 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
2652 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
2653 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
2654 because they handle more complex structures.)
2657 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
2658 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
2659 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
2660 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
2662 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
2663 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
2664 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
2665 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
2666 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
2667 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
2668 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
2671 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
2672 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
2673 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
2674 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
2675 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
2678 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
2681 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
2682 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
2683 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
2684 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
2685 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
2688 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
2692 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
2693 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
2694 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
2695 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
2698 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
2701 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
2702 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
2703 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
2704 international characters are used.
2706 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
2707 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
2708 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
2712 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
2713 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
2714 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
2717 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
2718 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
2719 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
2720 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
2721 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
2722 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
2724 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
2725 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
2726 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
2727 be handled by the string table functions.
2729 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
2730 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
2731 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
2732 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
2733 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
2737 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
2738 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
2739 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
2740 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
2741 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
2743 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
2744 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
2745 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
2746 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
2749 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
2750 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
2751 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
2752 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
2753 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
2757 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
2758 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
2759 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
2760 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
2761 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
2762 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
2763 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
2764 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
2766 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
2767 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
2768 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
2771 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
2772 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
2773 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
2774 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
2775 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
2776 support to pkcs8 application.
2779 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
2780 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
2781 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
2782 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
2783 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
2784 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
2787 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
2788 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
2789 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
2790 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
2791 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
2795 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
2796 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
2797 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
2798 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
2802 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
2803 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
2804 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
2805 and any application specific purposes.
2807 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
2808 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
2809 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
2810 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
2811 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
2812 if the certificate is self signed.
2815 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
2816 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
2819 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
2820 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
2821 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
2822 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
2825 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
2826 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
2827 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
2828 Update documentation.
2831 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
2832 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
2833 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
2834 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
2835 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
2838 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
2840 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
2842 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
2843 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
2844 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
2845 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
2846 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
2847 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
2848 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
2849 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
2850 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
2851 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
2853 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
2855 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
2856 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
2857 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
2858 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
2859 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
2861 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
2862 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
2863 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
2864 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
2865 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
2866 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
2867 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
2868 request additional information:
2869 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
2870 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
2872 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
2873 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
2874 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
2877 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
2878 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
2881 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
2884 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
2885 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2887 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
2888 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
2889 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
2893 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
2894 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
2895 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
2897 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
2898 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
2899 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
2900 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
2901 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
2902 included in OpenSSL.
2905 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
2906 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
2907 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
2908 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
2909 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
2910 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
2913 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
2917 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
2918 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
2919 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
2920 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
2921 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
2925 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
2929 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
2930 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
2931 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
2932 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
2933 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
2934 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
2935 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
2936 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
2937 be maintained manually.
2939 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
2940 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
2941 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
2942 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
2943 work because people forget to call this function]
2944 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
2945 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
2946 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
2949 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
2950 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
2951 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
2952 should be discouraged from doing it.
2955 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
2956 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
2957 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
2958 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
2959 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
2960 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
2963 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
2964 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
2965 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
2967 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
2968 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
2969 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
2971 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
2972 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
2973 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
2974 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
2975 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
2976 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
2978 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
2979 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
2980 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
2982 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
2983 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
2986 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
2987 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
2988 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
2989 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
2992 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
2995 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
2996 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
2997 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
2998 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
2999 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
3000 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
3001 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
3002 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
3003 keys so we should be OK.
3005 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
3006 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
3007 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
3008 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
3009 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
3010 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
3011 stay in the name of compatibility.
3013 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
3014 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
3015 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
3017 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
3018 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
3019 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
3020 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
3021 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
3022 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
3026 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
3027 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
3028 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
3029 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
3030 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
3031 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
3032 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
3033 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
3034 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
3035 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
3036 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
3037 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
3038 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
3041 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
3044 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
3045 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
3046 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
3047 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
3048 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
3049 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
3050 single self signed certificate. This means that:
3051 openssl verify ss.pem
3052 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
3053 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
3057 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
3058 (and add it to external session representation).
3059 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
3060 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
3061 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
3062 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
3063 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
3064 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
3066 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
3068 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
3069 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
3070 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
3071 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
3073 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
3074 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
3075 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
3078 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
3079 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
3080 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
3084 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
3085 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
3086 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
3088 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
3089 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
3090 certificate auxiliary information.
3093 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
3097 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
3098 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
3099 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
3100 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
3101 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
3102 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
3103 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
3106 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
3107 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
3110 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
3111 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
3112 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
3113 manpages and fix a few bugs.
3116 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
3119 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
3120 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
3123 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
3124 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
3125 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
3126 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
3127 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
3128 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
3129 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
3130 using the new 'x509' options.
3132 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
3133 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
3134 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
3135 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
3139 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
3140 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
3141 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
3142 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
3143 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
3146 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
3147 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
3148 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
3149 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
3150 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
3151 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
3152 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
3153 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
3154 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
3155 the key length and effective key length are equal.
3158 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
3159 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
3160 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
3161 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
3162 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
3163 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
3164 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
3167 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
3168 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
3169 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
3170 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
3171 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
3172 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
3173 openssl.cnf for more info.
3176 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
3177 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
3178 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
3179 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
3180 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
3181 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
3182 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
3183 md should be large enough anyway.
3186 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
3187 for handling the random seed file.
3189 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
3191 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
3194 x509 (when signing).
3195 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
3196 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
3197 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
3199 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
3200 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
3201 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
3202 that support '-rand'.
3205 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
3206 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
3209 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
3210 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
3213 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
3214 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
3215 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
3216 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
3220 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
3221 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
3222 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
3223 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
3226 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
3227 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
3228 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
3229 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
3230 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
3231 print out all the purposes.
3234 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
3238 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
3239 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
3240 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
3241 single function call.
3244 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
3245 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
3248 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
3249 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
3250 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
3253 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
3254 when producing the local key id.
3255 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3257 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
3258 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
3259 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
3263 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
3264 a public key to be input or output. For example:
3265 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
3266 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
3269 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
3270 in the message. This was handled by allowing
3271 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
3272 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
3274 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
3275 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
3276 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
3277 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3279 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
3280 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
3281 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
3282 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
3283 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
3284 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
3285 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
3286 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
3287 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
3288 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
3289 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
3290 trivial: move one line.
3291 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
3293 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
3294 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
3295 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
3296 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
3297 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
3298 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
3299 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
3300 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
3301 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
3302 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
3303 with an event loop for example.
3306 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
3307 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
3308 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
3309 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
3310 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
3311 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
3312 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
3313 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
3314 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
3317 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
3318 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
3319 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
3320 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
3321 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
3322 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
3325 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
3326 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
3327 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
3328 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
3330 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
3331 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
3332 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
3333 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
3337 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
3338 (still largely untested)
3341 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
3342 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
3345 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
3346 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
3349 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
3350 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
3351 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
3354 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
3355 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
3356 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
3357 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
3358 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
3361 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
3364 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
3365 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
3366 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
3367 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
3368 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
3372 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
3373 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
3376 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
3379 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
3380 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
3381 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
3382 are otherwise ignored at present.
3385 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
3386 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
3387 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
3388 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
3389 copied until the next read.
3392 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
3393 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
3394 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
3397 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
3398 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
3399 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
3400 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
3401 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
3402 associated functions.
3405 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
3406 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
3407 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
3408 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
3409 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
3410 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
3411 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
3412 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
3413 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
3417 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
3418 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
3419 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
3420 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
3423 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
3424 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
3425 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
3426 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
3427 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
3431 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
3432 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
3436 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
3437 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
3438 extensions to be obtained and added.
3441 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
3442 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
3445 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
3447 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
3448 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3450 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
3451 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
3453 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
3457 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
3458 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
3459 DH parameters contain its length).
3461 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
3462 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
3463 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
3464 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
3465 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
3466 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
3467 utter importance to use
3468 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3470 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
3471 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
3472 attacks may become possible!
3475 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
3478 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
3479 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
3482 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
3483 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
3484 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
3488 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
3489 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
3490 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
3491 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
3492 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
3493 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
3494 private key operations.
3497 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
3500 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
3501 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
3503 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
3504 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
3505 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
3506 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
3507 the password callback is called.
3508 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
3510 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
3512 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
3513 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
3514 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
3515 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
3516 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
3517 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
3520 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
3521 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
3522 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
3523 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
3524 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
3525 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
3528 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
3531 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
3532 delete an unused file.
3535 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
3536 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
3537 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
3538 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
3541 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
3542 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
3543 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
3547 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
3548 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
3549 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3551 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
3552 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
3553 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
3554 comparison" warnings.
3555 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
3558 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
3559 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
3560 derived keys are printed to stderr.
3563 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
3564 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
3566 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
3567 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
3569 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
3570 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
3571 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
3573 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
3574 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
3575 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
3576 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
3577 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
3579 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
3581 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
3582 The interface is as follows:
3583 Applications can use
3584 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
3585 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
3586 "off" is now the default.
3587 The library internally uses
3588 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
3589 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
3590 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
3592 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
3593 even the default) are now avoided.
3595 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
3596 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
3597 than just having a counter.
3599 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
3601 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
3605 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
3606 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
3607 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
3608 Initial "mode" flags are:
3610 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
3611 a single record has been written.
3612 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
3613 retries use the same buffer location.
3614 (But all of the contents must be
3618 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
3621 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
3622 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
3624 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
3625 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
3626 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
3629 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
3630 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
3632 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
3634 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
3635 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
3636 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
3637 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
3639 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
3640 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
3642 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
3643 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
3644 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
3645 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
3646 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
3647 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
3650 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
3651 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
3652 necessary function names.
3655 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
3656 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
3657 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
3658 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
3661 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
3662 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
3663 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
3666 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
3667 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
3668 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
3669 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
3671 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
3675 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
3676 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
3677 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
3680 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
3681 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
3685 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
3686 for the encoded length.
3687 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
3689 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
3692 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
3693 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
3694 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
3695 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
3698 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
3699 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
3700 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3702 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
3703 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
3704 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
3708 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
3709 to use the new extension code.
3712 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
3713 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
3714 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
3718 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
3719 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
3720 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
3724 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
3727 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
3728 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
3729 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
3732 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
3733 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
3734 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
3735 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
3738 *) DES library cleanups.
3741 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
3742 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
3743 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
3744 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
3745 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
3749 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
3750 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
3753 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
3754 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
3755 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
3756 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
3757 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
3758 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
3759 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
3760 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
3761 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
3764 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
3765 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
3766 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
3767 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
3768 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
3769 value doesn't matter.
3772 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
3776 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
3777 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
3778 "linux-sparc" configuration.
3779 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
3781 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
3784 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
3785 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
3786 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3788 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
3789 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3791 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
3794 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
3797 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
3800 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
3804 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
3806 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
3808 *) Updated some demos.
3809 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
3811 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
3814 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
3817 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
3820 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
3821 instead of using a fixed path.
3824 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
3827 *) Improvements for VMS support.
3831 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
3833 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
3834 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
3835 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3837 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
3838 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
3839 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
3840 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
3841 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
3842 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
3843 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
3844 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
3845 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
3846 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
3849 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
3850 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
3853 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
3854 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
3855 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
3856 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
3857 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
3859 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
3862 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
3863 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
3864 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
3867 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
3870 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
3871 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
3872 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
3873 key elements as negative integers.
3876 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
3877 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3880 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
3882 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
3883 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
3884 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
3887 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
3888 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
3889 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
3890 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
3891 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
3894 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
3897 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
3898 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
3899 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
3900 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3902 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
3903 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
3904 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
3906 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
3907 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
3908 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
3909 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
3910 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
3911 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
3912 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
3913 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
3914 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
3916 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
3917 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
3918 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
3919 does not influence s as it used to.
3921 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
3922 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
3923 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
3924 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
3925 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
3926 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
3929 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
3930 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
3931 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
3935 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
3936 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
3937 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
3941 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
3942 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
3943 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
3947 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
3948 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
3951 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
3952 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3957 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
3958 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3960 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
3961 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
3963 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
3966 *) Update HPUX configuration.
3969 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
3970 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3972 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
3973 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
3974 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
3978 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
3979 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
3980 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
3981 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
3982 now it really counts the depth.
3985 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
3986 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
3987 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
3988 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
3989 didn't match the private key).
3991 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
3992 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
3993 connection using the SSL_CTX).
3996 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
3999 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
4003 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
4004 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
4005 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
4008 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
4011 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
4012 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
4013 such as /usr/local/bin.
4016 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
4017 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4019 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
4022 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
4023 extension adding in x509 utility.
4026 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
4029 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
4033 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
4036 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
4037 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
4038 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
4039 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
4040 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
4041 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
4042 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
4043 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
4044 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
4045 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
4048 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
4051 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
4052 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
4055 *) Fix some race conditions.
4058 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
4059 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
4062 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
4065 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
4066 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
4067 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
4068 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
4070 *) Fix lots of warnings.
4071 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4073 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
4074 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
4075 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4077 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
4078 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4080 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
4083 *) Fix typos in error codes.
4084 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
4086 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
4089 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
4090 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4092 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
4093 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
4096 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
4097 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
4100 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
4101 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
4104 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
4105 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
4108 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
4109 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
4112 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
4113 support typesafe stack.
4116 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
4117 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
4119 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
4120 old X509V3 handling code.
4123 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
4126 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
4129 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
4132 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
4133 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
4135 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
4136 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
4137 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
4138 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
4139 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
4142 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
4143 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
4144 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
4145 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
4146 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
4148 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
4149 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
4150 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
4151 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4153 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
4154 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
4155 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
4156 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4158 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
4159 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
4160 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
4161 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
4162 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
4163 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
4166 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
4167 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
4170 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
4171 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
4174 *) Tweaks to Configure
4175 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4177 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
4181 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
4184 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
4185 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
4188 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
4189 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
4190 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
4193 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
4196 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
4197 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
4200 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
4201 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
4202 to library startup routines.
4205 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
4206 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
4207 codes along the way.
4210 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
4211 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
4212 objects to objects.h
4215 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
4216 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
4219 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
4220 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
4222 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
4223 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
4224 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
4226 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
4227 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4228 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4230 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
4231 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
4232 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
4235 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
4237 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
4238 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
4241 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
4242 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
4243 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
4244 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
4245 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
4247 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
4248 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
4249 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
4251 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4253 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
4255 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
4257 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
4258 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4260 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
4261 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
4262 if someone would make that last step automatic.
4263 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
4265 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
4268 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
4269 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
4270 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
4271 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
4274 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
4275 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
4276 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
4279 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
4280 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
4281 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
4282 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
4283 installed as `perl').
4284 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4286 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
4287 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4289 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
4290 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
4291 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
4292 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
4293 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
4296 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
4299 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
4300 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
4301 is horrible: I feel ill....
4304 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
4305 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
4306 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
4307 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
4310 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
4311 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4313 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
4314 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
4315 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
4316 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4318 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
4319 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
4320 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
4321 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
4322 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
4323 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
4325 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4327 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
4328 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4330 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
4331 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
4333 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
4336 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
4337 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
4341 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
4342 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
4343 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
4344 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
4345 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
4346 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
4347 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
4348 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
4349 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
4350 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
4351 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4353 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
4356 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
4357 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
4358 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
4359 for linking it into DSOs.
4360 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4362 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
4366 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
4367 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
4368 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
4369 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
4370 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
4371 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4373 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
4374 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
4375 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
4376 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
4377 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
4378 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
4379 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4381 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
4382 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
4383 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
4387 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
4388 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
4389 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
4390 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
4393 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
4394 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
4395 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
4396 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
4397 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
4401 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
4402 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
4403 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
4404 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
4405 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4407 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
4408 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
4409 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4411 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
4412 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4414 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
4415 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
4416 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
4417 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
4418 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
4421 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
4422 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
4423 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
4424 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
4425 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
4426 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
4427 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
4430 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
4432 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
4433 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
4436 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
4437 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
4439 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
4440 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
4443 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
4444 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
4445 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
4446 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
4447 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
4449 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
4450 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
4451 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
4452 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
4453 no way to reconfigure them.
4454 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
4455 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
4456 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
4457 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
4458 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
4459 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4461 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
4462 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
4463 recognized by the users.
4464 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4466 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
4467 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
4468 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
4469 already masked variable.
4470 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4472 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
4473 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4475 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
4476 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
4477 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
4478 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4480 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
4481 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
4482 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4484 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
4485 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
4486 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
4487 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
4488 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
4489 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
4490 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
4491 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
4493 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4495 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
4496 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
4497 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4499 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
4500 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
4504 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
4505 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4507 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
4508 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
4509 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
4510 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
4513 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
4516 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
4517 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4519 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
4522 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
4523 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
4526 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
4527 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
4530 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
4531 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
4532 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
4533 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
4534 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
4535 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
4536 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
4539 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
4540 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4542 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
4543 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
4544 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
4545 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
4546 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4548 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
4549 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
4550 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
4553 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
4554 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
4558 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
4559 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
4560 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4562 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
4563 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
4564 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
4568 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
4569 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
4570 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
4571 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
4574 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
4575 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
4576 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
4577 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
4580 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
4581 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
4582 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
4583 so it wasn't spotted.
4584 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
4586 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
4587 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
4588 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
4589 vectors if you have them.
4592 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
4593 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
4596 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
4597 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
4598 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
4599 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
4601 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
4602 it will update them.
4605 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
4606 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
4607 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
4608 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
4609 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
4610 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
4611 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
4612 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4614 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
4615 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
4616 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
4617 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
4618 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
4619 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
4620 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
4621 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
4622 the crypto/md/ stuff).
4623 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4625 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
4626 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
4627 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
4628 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
4629 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
4632 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
4636 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
4637 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4639 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
4640 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4642 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
4643 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
4646 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
4647 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
4649 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
4650 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
4652 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
4655 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
4659 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
4660 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
4661 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
4662 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
4664 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
4667 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
4670 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
4673 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
4674 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
4677 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
4678 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
4682 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
4683 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
4686 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
4687 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
4688 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
4691 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
4692 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
4693 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
4694 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
4695 properly to be processed.
4698 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
4699 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
4700 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
4703 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
4704 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
4706 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
4707 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
4708 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
4709 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
4710 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
4711 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
4712 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
4713 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
4714 or delete all the .err files.
4717 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
4718 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
4719 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
4720 to regenerate it if needed.
4721 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
4722 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
4724 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
4725 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4727 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
4728 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
4729 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
4730 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
4731 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
4734 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
4735 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4737 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
4738 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4740 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
4741 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
4742 error, but didn't set one).
4743 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4745 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
4748 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
4749 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
4752 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
4753 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
4755 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
4756 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
4757 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
4758 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
4759 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
4760 OID is not part of the table.
4763 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
4764 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
4767 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
4770 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
4771 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
4775 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
4776 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
4778 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
4780 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4782 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
4783 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4785 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
4786 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
4788 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
4789 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
4791 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
4792 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
4795 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
4796 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
4799 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
4800 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4802 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
4803 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4805 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
4806 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4808 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
4809 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4811 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
4812 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
4813 unused in the certificate verification process.
4814 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4816 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
4817 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
4820 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
4821 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
4822 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
4824 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
4825 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
4826 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
4827 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
4828 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
4830 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
4831 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
4834 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
4837 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
4840 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
4841 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
4843 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
4846 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
4849 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
4852 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
4853 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
4854 other error libraries.
4857 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
4860 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
4861 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
4865 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
4866 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
4867 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
4868 the new set of documenation files.
4869 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4871 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
4872 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
4873 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
4874 number of arguments.
4875 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
4877 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
4880 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
4881 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
4882 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4884 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
4887 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
4891 unixware-2.0-pentium
4895 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
4896 before they are needed.
4899 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
4903 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
4905 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
4906 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
4907 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4909 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
4912 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
4913 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
4914 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4916 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
4917 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
4918 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
4920 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
4921 when "ssleay" is still not found.
4922 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4924 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
4925 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
4927 *) Updated the README file.
4928 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4930 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
4931 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
4932 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4934 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
4935 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
4936 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4938 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
4939 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
4940 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
4941 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
4942 o removed obsolete TODO file
4943 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
4944 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4946 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
4947 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
4948 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
4949 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
4950 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
4951 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
4952 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4954 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
4957 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
4958 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
4959 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
4961 [The OpenSSL Project]
4964 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
4966 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
4969 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
4972 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
4973 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
4976 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
4977 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
4981 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
4983 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
4985 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
4988 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
4991 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
4994 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
4997 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
5000 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
5003 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
5006 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
5009 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
5012 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
5015 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
5018 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
5021 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
5024 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
5027 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
5030 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
5033 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
5036 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
5037 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
5038 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5041 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
5042 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
5045 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
5048 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
5051 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
5052 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
5055 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
5058 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
5061 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
5062 bytes sent in the client random.
