5 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
8 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
9 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
10 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
11 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
15 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
16 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
17 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
18 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
21 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
22 there is no mutiple of the block length between min_len and
23 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
24 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
25 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
26 requested amount of entropy.
29 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
30 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
33 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
34 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
35 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
39 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
40 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
41 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
44 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
45 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
46 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
47 will never use XTS mode.
50 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
51 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
52 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
53 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
54 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
55 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
58 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
59 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
60 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
61 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
64 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
65 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
66 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
70 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
72 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
75 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
78 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
79 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
82 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
83 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
86 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
87 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
90 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
91 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
92 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
93 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
94 and rename any affected symbols.
97 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
98 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
101 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
102 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
103 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
106 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
109 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
110 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
111 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
114 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
115 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
118 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
119 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
120 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
121 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
122 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
123 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
127 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
128 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
129 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
130 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
131 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
132 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
133 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
134 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
137 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
138 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
141 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
143 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
144 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
146 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
147 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
148 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
149 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
150 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
151 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
153 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
154 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
155 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
157 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
159 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
160 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
161 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
163 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
165 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
166 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
167 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
170 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_diff to find the difference in days
171 and seconds between two tm structures. This will be used to provide
172 additional functionality for ASN1_TIME.
175 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
176 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
180 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
181 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
182 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
185 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
186 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
187 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
188 the appropriate parameters.
191 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
192 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
193 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
194 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
195 against a number of sample certificates.
198 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
199 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
201 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
202 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
204 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
205 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
209 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
210 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
213 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
214 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
215 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
216 setting is used: whether to trust or reject.
219 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
223 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
224 Add CMAC pkey methods.
227 *) Experiemental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
228 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
229 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
232 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
233 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
234 multi-process servers.
237 *) Experiemental password based recipient info support for CMS library:
238 implementing RFC3211.
241 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
242 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
243 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
247 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
248 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
249 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
250 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
251 RAND_METHOD structure.
254 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
255 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
256 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
257 whose return value is often ignored.
260 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
262 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
265 *) Add EC_GFp_nistp224_method(), a 64-bit optimized implementation for
266 elliptic curve NIST-P224 with constant-time single point multiplication on
267 typical inputs. EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use this
268 (while EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently won't and prefers the more
269 flexible implementations).
271 The implementation requires support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t,
272 and so is disabled by default. To include this in your build of OpenSSL,
273 use -DEC_NISTP224_64_GCC_128 on the Configure (or config) command line,
274 and run "make depend" (or "make update").
275 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
277 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
278 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
279 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
281 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
282 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
283 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
286 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
287 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
289 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
290 a few changes are required:
292 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
294 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
295 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
296 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
299 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
301 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
302 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
304 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
305 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
309 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
311 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
312 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
313 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
316 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
317 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
318 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
321 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
323 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
324 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
325 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
328 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
332 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
334 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
336 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
338 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
340 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
341 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
342 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
345 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
348 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
349 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
350 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
352 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
353 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
354 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
357 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
358 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
361 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
362 some responders need this.
365 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
367 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
369 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
370 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
371 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
374 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
377 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
378 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
379 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
380 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
381 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
382 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
383 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
384 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
387 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
388 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
389 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
390 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
392 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
393 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
395 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
399 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
400 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
401 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
402 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
403 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
404 attempting to work them out.
407 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
408 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
409 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
410 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
413 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
414 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
415 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
416 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
417 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
420 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
421 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
428 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
430 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
434 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
435 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
437 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
438 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
440 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
441 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
442 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
443 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
444 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
447 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
448 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
449 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
452 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
453 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
456 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
457 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
459 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
460 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
463 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
466 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
467 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
468 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
472 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
473 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
474 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
475 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
476 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
477 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
480 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
481 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
483 This work was sponsored by Google.
486 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
487 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
488 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
489 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
490 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
491 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
492 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
495 This work was sponsored by Google.
498 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
500 This work was sponsored by Google.
503 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
504 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
505 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
506 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
508 This work was sponsored by Google.
511 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
512 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
513 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
514 CRL functionality in future.
516 This work was sponsored by Google.
519 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
521 This work was sponsored by Google.
524 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
525 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
527 This work was sponsored by Google.
530 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
531 and URI types are currently supported.
533 This work was sponsored by Google.
536 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
537 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
538 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
539 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
540 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
541 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
542 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
543 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
545 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
546 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
547 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
549 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
550 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
551 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
552 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
554 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
555 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
556 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
557 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
558 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
559 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
560 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
561 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
563 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
565 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
566 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
567 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
569 This work was sponsored by Google.
572 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
575 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
576 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
577 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
580 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
581 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
584 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
585 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
588 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
589 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
590 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
591 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
592 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
593 content types and variants.
596 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
599 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
600 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
601 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
602 files from the associated perl scripts.
605 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
606 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
607 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
609 *) s390x assembler pack.
612 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
616 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
617 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
618 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
619 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
620 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
621 to use. For example, specify an option
623 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
625 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
626 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
627 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
628 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
629 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
630 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
632 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
633 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
634 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
635 return non-zero for success.
637 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
640 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
641 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
645 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
648 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
649 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
650 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
651 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
652 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
653 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
654 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
655 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
656 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
658 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
659 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
660 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
661 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
662 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
663 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
665 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
666 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
667 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
668 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
669 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
670 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
674 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
677 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
679 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
680 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
681 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
684 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
685 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
688 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
689 protection in servers so again support should be possible
690 with no application modification.
692 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
693 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
695 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
696 or server extensions to be examined.
698 This work was sponsored by Google.
701 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
702 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
703 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
705 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
706 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
708 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
710 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
711 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
712 to output in BER and PEM format.
715 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
716 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
717 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
718 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
719 -macopt options to dgst utility.
722 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
723 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
724 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
728 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
729 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
730 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
731 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
732 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
733 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
734 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
735 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
738 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
739 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
740 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
741 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
743 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
744 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
745 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
749 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
750 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
751 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
752 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
753 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
754 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
755 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
756 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
757 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
759 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
760 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
761 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
762 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
763 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
764 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
765 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
766 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
767 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
768 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
769 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
772 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
773 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
774 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
776 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
777 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
781 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
782 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
783 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
786 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
787 it yet and it is largely untested.
790 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
793 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
794 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
795 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
798 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
801 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
802 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
803 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
804 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
807 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
808 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
809 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
810 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
811 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
814 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
815 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
818 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
819 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
820 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
821 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
824 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
825 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
826 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
827 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
830 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
831 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
834 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
835 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
836 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
837 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
840 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
841 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
842 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
845 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
849 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
850 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
853 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
854 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
855 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
859 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
860 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
861 to free up any added signature OIDs.
864 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
865 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
866 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
867 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
870 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
871 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
872 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
873 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
874 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
875 the array representation useful in a more general context.
878 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
879 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
880 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
881 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
882 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
884 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
885 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
886 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
887 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
888 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
891 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
892 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
893 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
894 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
896 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
897 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
898 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
899 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
900 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
906 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
907 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
911 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
912 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
915 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
916 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
919 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
920 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
921 functional reference processing.
924 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
925 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
929 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
930 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
931 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
934 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
935 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
936 application to support multiple signers.
939 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
943 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
944 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
945 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
946 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
947 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
950 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
954 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
955 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
956 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
957 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
961 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
962 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
963 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
964 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
965 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
966 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
967 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
968 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
971 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
972 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
973 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
974 between digests and public key types.
977 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
978 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
979 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
980 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
983 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
984 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
988 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
991 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
995 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
996 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
997 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
998 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1003 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1005 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1007 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1009 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1010 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1011 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1012 functionality for RSA.
1015 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1016 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1017 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1020 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1021 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1024 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1025 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1026 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1029 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1030 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1033 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1034 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1037 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1038 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1042 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1043 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1044 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1048 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1049 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1050 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1051 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1052 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1053 of public and private key structures.
1056 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1057 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1060 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1061 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1062 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1065 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1069 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1070 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1071 SSL_get_psk_identity
1072 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1074 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1076 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1077 and response verification functionality.
1078 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1080 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1081 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1082 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1083 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1084 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1085 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1086 server_name extension.
1088 New functions (subject to change):
1090 SSL_get_servername()
1091 SSL_get_servername_type()
1094 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1096 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1097 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1098 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1099 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1100 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1102 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1104 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1105 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1106 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1107 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1108 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1109 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1112 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1114 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1117 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1118 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1119 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1120 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1121 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1124 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1125 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1129 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1130 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1131 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1132 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1135 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1136 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1137 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1138 using the maximum available value.
1141 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1142 in addition to the text details.
1145 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1146 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1147 handle several customised structures at all.
1150 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1151 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1152 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1155 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1158 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1159 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1160 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1163 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1164 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1165 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1168 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1169 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1173 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1176 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1179 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
1181 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1182 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1184 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1185 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1189 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1191 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1192 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1193 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1196 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1197 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1198 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1201 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1203 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1204 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1205 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1208 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1211 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1212 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1213 some broken encodings work correctly.
1216 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1217 is also one of the inputs.
1218 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1220 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1221 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1222 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
1226 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
1228 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
1231 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
1232 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
1233 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
1235 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
1236 common in certificates and some applications which only call
1237 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
1241 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com

1246 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1248 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1249 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1250 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1251 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1252 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1253 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1254 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1255 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1257 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1258 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1259 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1261 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1263 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1264 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1266 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1267 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1270 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1271 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1272 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1275 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1276 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1277 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1278 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1279 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1280 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1283 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1284 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1285 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1288 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1289 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1290 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1291 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1292 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1293 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1297 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1298 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1301 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1302 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1303 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1306 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1309 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1310 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1311 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1312 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1313 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1314 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1315 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1316 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1317 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1320 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1321 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1322 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1325 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1326 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1329 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1330 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1331 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1332 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1333 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1334 know what you are doing.
1335 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1337 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1338 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1339 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1340 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1341 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1342 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1346 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1347 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1348 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1350 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1352 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1353 warnings in other configurations.
1356 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1357 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1358 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1360 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1362 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1363 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1364 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1366 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1367 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1368 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1369 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1372 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1376 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1377 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1379 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1381 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1382 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1383 other than a simple chain.
1384 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1386 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1387 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1388 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1389 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1392 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1393 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1394 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1395 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1396 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1397 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1398 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1399 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1400 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1402 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1403 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1404 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1405 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1406 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1407 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1409 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1411 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1412 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1415 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1416 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1419 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1421 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1423 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1424 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1425 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1426 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1427 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1431 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1433 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1434 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1435 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1436 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1438 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1439 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1440 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1441 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1443 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1444 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1445 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1448 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1449 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1453 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1454 to handle some structures.
1457 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1459 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1461 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1464 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1467 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1470 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1471 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1475 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1477 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1479 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1481 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1484 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1485 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1486 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1487 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1489 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1490 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1492 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1493 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1496 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1497 s_client and s_server.
1500 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1501 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1503 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1504 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1506 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1507 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1508 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1509 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1510 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1513 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1515 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1516 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1519 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1520 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1523 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1524 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1525 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1526 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1528 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1529 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1531 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1533 *) Various precautionary measures:
1535 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1537 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1538 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1539 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1541 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1542 outside the expected range.
1544 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1547 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1549 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1550 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1551 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1553 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1556 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1559 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1561 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1564 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1565 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1566 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1568 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1571 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1572 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1573 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1577 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1579 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1580 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1581 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1582 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1584 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1585 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1588 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1590 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1591 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1592 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1594 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1596 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1597 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1598 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1599 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1602 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1603 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1604 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1605 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1606 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1607 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1608 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1610 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1612 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1613 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1614 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1615 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1616 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1618 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1619 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1621 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1622 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1623 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1624 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1625 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1627 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1629 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1630 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1631 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1632 sets may exist with different names.
1635 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1636 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1637 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1638 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1639 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1640 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1641 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1642 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1643 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1645 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1647 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1648 implemention in the following ways:
1650 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1653 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1654 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1655 ignored for embedded content.
1657 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1658 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1661 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1662 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1663 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1664 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1666 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1667 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1670 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1671 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1674 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1675 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1676 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1677 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1678 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1679 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1683 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1684 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1685 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1689 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1690 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1691 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1692 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1693 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1694 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
1695 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
1696 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
1698 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
1699 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
1700 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1701 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1702 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1703 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1704 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1706 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1707 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1708 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1709 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1710 to s_client and s_server.
1713 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1715 *) Fix various bugs:
1716 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1717 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1718 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1719 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1720 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1722 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1724 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1725 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1726 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1727 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1728 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1729 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1730 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1731 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1734 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1735 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1736 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1739 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1740 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1741 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1744 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1745 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1748 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1749 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1750 with no application modification.
1752 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1753 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1755 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1756 or server extensions to be examined.
1758 This work was sponsored by Google.
1761 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1762 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1763 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1764 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1765 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1766 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1767 server_name extension.
1769 New functions (subject to change):
1771 SSL_get_servername()
1772 SSL_get_servername_type()
1775 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1777 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1778 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1779 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1780 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1781 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1783 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1785 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1786 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1787 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1788 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1789 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1790 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1793 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1795 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1798 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1801 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1802 (which previously caused an internal error).
1805 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1808 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1809 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1811 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1812 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1813 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1815 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1816 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1817 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1818 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1820 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1821 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1822 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1823 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1825 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1826 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1827 information. For detailed background information, see
1828 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1829 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1830 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1831 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1832 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1833 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1834 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1835 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1836 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1837 remove a conditional branch.
1839 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1840 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1841 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1842 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1843 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1844 remains as a deprecated alias.
1846 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1847 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1848 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1849 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1851 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1852 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1853 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1854 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1855 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1856 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1857 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1858 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1860 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1862 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1863 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1864 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1865 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1866 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1867 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1868 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1869 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1870 in a different context.
1873 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1874 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1875 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1878 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1879 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1880 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1882 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1884 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1885 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1886 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1887 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1888 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1891 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1892 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1893 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1894 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1895 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1896 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1899 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1900 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1901 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1902 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1903 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1906 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1907 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1909 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1910 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1911 Improve header file function name parsing.
1914 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1915 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1918 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1920 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1921 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1922 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1924 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1925 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1927 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1928 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1930 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1931 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1932 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1934 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1935 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1936 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1937 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1938 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1939 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1940 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1941 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1942 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1944 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1945 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1946 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1947 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1948 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1950 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1951 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1952 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1953 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1954 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1955 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1956 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1957 multiple values to extend the available space.
1961 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1963 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1964 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1966 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1969 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1970 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1971 undesirable limitations.
1972 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1974 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1975 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1976 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1977 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1978 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1979 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1980 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1983 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1985 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1986 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1987 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1989 The latter two were purportedly from
1990 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1993 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1994 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1995 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1998 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1999 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2002 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2003 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2004 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2005 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2007 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2008 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2009 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2012 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2013 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2014 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2015 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2016 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2017 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2020 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2022 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2023 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2026 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2027 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2029 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2030 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2031 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2032 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2035 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2036 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2039 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2040 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2041 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2042 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2043 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2044 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2045 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2049 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2050 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2051 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2052 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2055 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2056 under VC++ build system.
2059 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2060 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2063 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2065 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2066 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2067 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2068 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2069 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2071 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2072 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2073 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2075 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2078 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2079 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2082 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2083 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2085 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2088 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2089 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2091 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2092 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2095 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2096 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2100 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2102 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2105 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2108 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2109 key into the same file any more.
2112 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2115 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2116 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2118 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2119 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2122 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2123 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2124 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2125 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2126 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2127 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2129 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2130 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2131 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2134 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2135 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2136 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2137 - add new function for parameter creation
2138 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2139 BN_BLINDING parameters
2140 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2141 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2142 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2146 *) Add support for DTLS.
2147 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2149 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2150 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2153 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2154 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2157 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2158 the apps/openssl applications.
2161 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2162 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2163 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2166 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2167 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2169 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2170 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2172 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2173 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2174 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2175 avoid this algorithm.)
2179 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2180 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2181 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2184 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2185 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2188 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2189 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2190 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2193 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2195 The blank line is mandatory.
2199 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2200 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2204 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2205 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2207 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2208 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2209 to support policy checking and print out.
2212 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2213 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2214 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2215 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2217 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2220 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2221 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2223 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2224 implementation contributed by IBM.
2225 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2227 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2228 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2229 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2230 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2232 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2233 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2235 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2236 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2237 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2238 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2239 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2240 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2243 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2244 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2245 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2246 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2247 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2248 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2249 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2252 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2255 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2256 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2257 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2258 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2259 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2260 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2261 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2262 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2265 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2266 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2267 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2268 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2271 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2274 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2277 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2278 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2279 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2280 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2281 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2282 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2283 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2286 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2287 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2290 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2291 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2292 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2295 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2296 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2297 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2301 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2302 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2305 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2306 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2307 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2308 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2311 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2312 initialised value as BN_new().
2313 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2315 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2318 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2319 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2320 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2321 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2322 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2323 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2324 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2325 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2326 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2327 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2328 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2329 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2330 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2331 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2332 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2334 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2335 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2336 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2337 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2340 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2341 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2342 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2343 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2344 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2345 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2346 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2347 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2348 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2351 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2352 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2353 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2354 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2355 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2356 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2357 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2360 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2361 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2362 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2363 these have been updated also.
2366 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2367 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2368 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2369 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2370 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2374 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2375 structure of type "other".
2378 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2379 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2380 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2381 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2382 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2383 situation in the script.
2384 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2386 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2387 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2388 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2389 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2390 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2391 used as premaster secret.
2392 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2394 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2395 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2396 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2398 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2399 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2401 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2402 control of the error stack.
2405 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2408 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2409 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2410 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2411 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2414 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2415 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2416 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2419 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2420 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2421 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2425 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2426 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2427 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2428 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2431 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2432 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2433 the following flags are defined:
2435 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2436 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2437 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2440 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2441 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2442 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2443 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2447 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2448 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2449 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2450 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2451 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2454 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2455 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2456 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2459 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2460 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2461 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2462 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2463 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2464 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2467 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2471 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2474 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2477 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2480 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2481 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2482 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2483 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2484 default implementation more easily.
2487 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2491 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2492 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2495 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2496 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2497 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2498 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2500 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2501 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2502 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2503 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2506 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2507 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2511 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2512 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2513 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2514 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2515 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2516 scalar * generator).
2517 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2519 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2520 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2521 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2525 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2526 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2527 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2528 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2529 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2530 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2531 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2532 linker additions, eg;
2533 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2536 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2537 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2538 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2541 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2542 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2543 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2547 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2548 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2549 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2550 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2553 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2554 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2555 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2556 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2557 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2558 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2559 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2560 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2561 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2562 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2564 Example for using the new callback interface:
2566 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2570 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2572 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2573 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2574 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2575 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2576 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2577 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2582 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2583 available to TLS with the number defined in
2584 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2587 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2588 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2590 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2591 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2592 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2593 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2595 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2596 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2598 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2599 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2603 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2604 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2607 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2608 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2609 and a macro that behave like
2610 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2612 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2615 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2616 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2617 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2619 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2621 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2624 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2625 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2626 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2627 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2629 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2630 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2631 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2632 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2633 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2634 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2635 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2636 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2638 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2639 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2642 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2643 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2645 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2646 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2647 files while avoiding the low level API.
2649 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2650 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2651 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2652 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2654 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2655 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2656 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2657 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2658 instead of the low level API.
2661 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2662 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2663 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2664 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2665 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2668 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2669 down to the template encoder.
2672 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2673 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2676 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2677 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2678 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2679 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2681 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2682 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2684 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2685 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2687 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2688 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2691 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2692 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2693 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2696 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2697 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2699 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2700 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2702 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2703 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2706 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2710 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2711 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2712 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2713 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2714 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2715 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2717 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2718 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2721 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2722 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2723 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2724 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2725 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2726 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2727 various internal method names.)
2729 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2730 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2732 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2733 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2735 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2736 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2738 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2739 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2740 methods are undefined.
2742 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2743 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2745 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2746 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2747 length of the modulus.
2749 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2750 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2752 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2753 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2755 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2756 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2758 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2759 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2760 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2763 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2764 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2765 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2766 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2768 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2769 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2770 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2771 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2773 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2774 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2776 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2777 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2778 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2779 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2780 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2782 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2783 This applies to the following functions:
2788 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2789 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2791 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2792 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2796 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2801 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2803 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2804 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2805 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2806 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2807 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2809 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2810 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2812 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2813 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2814 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2816 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2817 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2819 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2820 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2821 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2822 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2823 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2825 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2827 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2828 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2829 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2830 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2831 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2832 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2833 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2834 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2835 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2836 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2837 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2838 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2840 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2843 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2844 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2845 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2846 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2848 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2849 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2850 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2851 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2856 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2857 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2858 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2859 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2860 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2862 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2863 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2864 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2865 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2866 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2867 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2868 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2869 adding different types of curves.
2870 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2872 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2873 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2874 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2877 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2878 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2880 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2881 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2882 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2883 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2885 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2887 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2888 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2890 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2891 library. Most notably,
2892 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2893 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2894 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2895 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2896 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2897 extracted before the specific public key;
2898 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2899 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2901 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2902 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2904 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2905 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2906 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2907 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2909 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2910 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2911 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2913 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2914 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2915 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2916 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2917 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2918 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2922 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2924 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2926 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2928 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2929 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2930 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2933 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2934 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2935 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2938 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2941 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2942 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2945 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2946 run algorithm test programs.
2949 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2952 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2953 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2954 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2955 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2956 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2959 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2960 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2963 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2965 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2966 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2967 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2969 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2970 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2972 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2973 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2975 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2976 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2977 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2979 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2980 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2981 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2982 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2983 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2984 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2985 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2988 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2990 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2991 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2993 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2994 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2995 undesirable limitations.
2996 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2998 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3000 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3001 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3002 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3004 The latter two were purportedly from
3005 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3008 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3009 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3010 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3013 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3014 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3017 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3019 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3020 module in FIPS mode.
3023 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3026 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3027 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3028 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3029 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3032 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3034 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3035 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3036 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3037 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3038 the difference induced by this change.
3041 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3043 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3044 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3045 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3046 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3047 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3049 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3050 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3051 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3053 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3054 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3057 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3058 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3059 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3060 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3064 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3065 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3066 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3067 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3068 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3070 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3071 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3072 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3073 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3074 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3075 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3077 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3079 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3080 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3081 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3082 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3083 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3086 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3090 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3091 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3092 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3095 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3096 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3097 structures constant.
3100 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3102 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3105 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3106 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3107 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3108 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3109 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3110 some needed definitions.
3113 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3116 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3117 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3118 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3119 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3122 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3124 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3125 server and client random values. Previously
3126 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3127 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3129 This change has negligible security impact because:
3131 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3134 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3137 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3138 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3141 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3144 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3146 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3149 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3150 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3151 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3153 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3156 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3157 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3160 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3161 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3162 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3164 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3167 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3168 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3169 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3173 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3174 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3175 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3176 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3178 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3179 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3180 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3181 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3185 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3187 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3188 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3189 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3190 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3191 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3194 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3197 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3198 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3200 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3201 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3202 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3203 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3204 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3205 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3206 rather than being initialized to 1.
3209 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3211 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3212 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3213 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3215 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3217 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3219 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3220 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3221 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3222 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3223 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3224 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3227 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3228 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3229 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3230 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3231 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3235 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3236 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3237 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3238 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3239 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3242 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3243 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3244 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3248 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3249 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3251 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3254 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3256 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3258 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3259 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3261 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3263 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3264 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3268 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3269 exiting on the first error in a request.
3272 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3273 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3277 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3278 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3279 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3280 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3282 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3283 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3286 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3287 blocks during encryption.
3290 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3291 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3292 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3293 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3297 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3298 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3299 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3300 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3301 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3305 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3307 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3308 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3309 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3310 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3313 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3314 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3315 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3316 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3317 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3319 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3320 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3321 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3322 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3323 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3324 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3325 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3326 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3327 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3330 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3331 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3332 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3333 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3336 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3337 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3340 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3342 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3343 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3344 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3345 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3346 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3348 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3349 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3350 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3352 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3353 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3354 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3355 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3356 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3358 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3359 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3360 used by default when no-err is given.
3363 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3364 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3366 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3367 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3368 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3369 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3370 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3372 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3373 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3374 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3375 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3377 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3379 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3381 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3383 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3384 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3385 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3386 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3390 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3391 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3393 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3394 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3397 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3398 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3399 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3400 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3403 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3404 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3405 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3406 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3407 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3408 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3409 followup to PR #377.
3412 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3413 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3416 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3417 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3418 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
3419 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
3421 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
3423 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3426 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3427 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3428 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3429 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
3431 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3435 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
3436 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
3440 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3441 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3442 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3443 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3444 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3445 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3447 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3448 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3449 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3450 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3451 have to be made anyway).
3454 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3455 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3456 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3459 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3460 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3461 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3464 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3465 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3466 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3468 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3469 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3470 edit numbers of the version.
3471 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3473 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3474 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
3475 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
3477 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
3478 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3480 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3481 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3482 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3484 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
3485 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3487 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
3488 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3490 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
3491 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3493 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
3494 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3496 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
3498 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3500 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
3501 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
3502 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3504 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
3505 representations in a platform independent manner.
3506 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3508 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3509 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3510 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3512 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
3514 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3516 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
3517 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3519 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
3521 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3523 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
3524 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
3525 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3527 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
3529 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3531 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
3532 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3534 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
3535 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3537 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
3538 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3540 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
3541 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3543 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
3545 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3547 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
3548 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3550 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
3551 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3553 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
3554 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
3556 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3558 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
3559 the 0.9.6 release series:
3561 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3562 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
3564 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3566 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
3569 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3570 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
3572 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3573 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3575 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3576 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3577 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3578 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3580 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3581 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3582 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3584 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3585 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3586 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3587 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3589 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3590 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3591 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3594 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3595 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3596 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3597 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3598 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3599 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3600 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3601 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3604 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3605 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3606 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3609 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3610 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3611 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3612 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3613 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3615 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.

3618 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3619 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3622 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3623 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3624 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3625 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3626 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3627 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3630 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3631 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3632 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3635 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3636 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3639 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3640 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3641 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3642 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3643 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3644 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3645 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3648 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3649 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3650 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3651 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3652 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3653 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3656 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3657 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3658 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3659 declaration has been changed from
3662 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3663 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3664 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3665 has been changed into
3666 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3668 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3669 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3670 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3672 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3673 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3675 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3676 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3677 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3678 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3679 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3680 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3681 always load it have also been added.
3684 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3685 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3686 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3688 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3690 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3691 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3692 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3694 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3695 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3696 command line option can be used to specify an
3700 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3701 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3704 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3705 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3706 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3709 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3710 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3711 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3712 to work with the new engine framework.
3713 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3715 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3716 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3717 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3718 to work with the new engine framework.
3721 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3722 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3723 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3725 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3726 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3728 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3729 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3730 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3731 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3733 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3735 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3736 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3738 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3739 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3741 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3742 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3743 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3746 *) Add new functions
3748 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3749 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3750 These are similar to
3753 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3754 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3755 still in the error queue.
3756 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3758 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3760 default_algorithms = ALL
3761 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3764 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3767 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3770 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3771 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3772 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3773 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3775 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3776 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3778 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3779 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3781 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3782 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3785 *) New functions/macros
3787 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3788 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3789 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3790 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3792 to request calling a callback function
3794 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3795 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3797 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3798 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3799 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3800 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3801 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3802 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3803 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3804 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3805 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3806 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3808 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3809 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3812 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3813 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3814 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3815 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3816 the configuration scripts.
3818 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3819 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3820 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3822 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3823 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3825 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3826 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3827 when reusing an existing buffer.
3830 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3831 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3834 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3835 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3838 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3839 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3840 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3841 has the same effect.
3842 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3844 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3845 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3846 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3847 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3848 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3849 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3852 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3853 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3854 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3855 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3857 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3858 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3859 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3860 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3862 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3863 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3866 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3867 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3868 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3869 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3870 default), and then completely removed.
3873 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3874 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3875 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3876 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3877 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3878 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3879 particular extension is supported.
3882 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3883 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3886 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3887 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3888 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3889 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3890 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3891 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3892 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3893 requires the destination to be valid.
3895 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3896 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3899 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3900 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3901 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3904 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3905 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3907 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3908 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3909 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3910 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3911 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3912 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3913 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3914 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3915 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3916 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3917 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3918 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3919 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3920 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3921 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3922 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3923 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3924 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3925 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3929 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3932 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3933 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3934 become part of libeay.num as well.
3937 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3938 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3939 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3940 false once a handshake has been completed.
3941 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3942 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3943 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3944 client has followed the request.)
3947 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3948 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3949 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3950 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3952 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3953 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3954 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3957 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3960 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3961 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3962 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3965 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3966 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3969 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3970 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3971 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3972 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3975 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3976 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3977 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3978 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3979 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3980 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3983 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3984 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3985 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3986 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3987 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3988 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3989 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3990 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3993 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3994 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3997 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4000 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4001 md_data void pointer.
4004 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4005 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4006 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4007 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4008 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4009 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4012 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4013 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4014 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4015 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4016 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4017 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4018 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4019 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4020 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4021 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4022 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4023 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4024 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4025 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4026 rather than letting it slide.
4028 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4029 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4030 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4033 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4034 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4035 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4036 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4037 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4038 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4039 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4040 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4041 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4044 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4045 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4046 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4047 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4048 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4050 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4053 *) Add EVP test program.
4056 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4059 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4060 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4061 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4062 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4063 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4066 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4067 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4068 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4069 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4070 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4071 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4072 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4074 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4075 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4076 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4081 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4082 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4083 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4084 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4085 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4089 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4090 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4091 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4092 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4095 des_key_schedule ks;
4097 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4098 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4100 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4103 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4104 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4105 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4106 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4107 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4108 functions prevents this.
4111 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4114 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4115 correct _ecb suffix.
4118 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4119 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4120 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4121 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4122 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4125 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4128 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4129 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4130 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4131 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4133 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4134 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4136 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4137 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4138 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4139 via Richard Levitte]
4141 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4142 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4143 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4144 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4147 *) Speed up EVP routines.

4165 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4166 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4168 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4169 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4170 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4171 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4172 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4173 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4176 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4177 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4180 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4181 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4182 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4183 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4185 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4186 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4187 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4188 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4189 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4190 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4194 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4195 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4196 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4197 and interrupts/cancellations.
4200 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4201 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4204 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4205 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4206 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4208 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4209 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4213 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4214 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4215 than this minimum value is recommended.
4218 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4219 that are easily reachable.
4222 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4223 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4225 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4227 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4228 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4229 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4230 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4233 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4234 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4235 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4238 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4239 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4240 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4241 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4242 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4243 internally such as S/MIME.
4245 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
4246 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
4247 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
4249 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
4253 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
4254 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
4255 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
4256 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
4258 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4260 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
4262 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
4263 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4264 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4268 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4269 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4270 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4271 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4272 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4273 a window system and the like.
4276 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4277 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4280 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4281 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4282 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4283 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4284 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4285 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4286 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4287 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4288 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4292 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4293 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4297 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4298 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4299 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4300 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4301 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4302 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4303 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4304 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4307 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4308 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4309 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4310 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4311 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4312 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4313 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4314 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4315 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4316 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4317 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4318 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4319 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4320 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4321 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4322 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4323 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4326 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4327 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4328 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4329 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4330 internal engine_int.h header.
4333 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4334 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4335 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4336 modify their own ones).
4339 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4340 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4341 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4342 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4343 later on via ctrl() commands.
4344 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4345 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4346 structural references.
4347 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
4348 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
4349 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
4350 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
4351 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
4352 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
4353 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
4354 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4355 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4356 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4357 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4358 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4361 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4362 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4363 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4364 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4365 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4366 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4367 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4368 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4371 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4372 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4375 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4376 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4379 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4380 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4381 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4382 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4383 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4384 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4385 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4388 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4389 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4390 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4391 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4392 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4394 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4395 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4399 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4401 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4402 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4403 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4405 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4406 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4408 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4409 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4410 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4412 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4413 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4415 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4416 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4418 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4420 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4421 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4422 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4425 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4426 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4429 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4430 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4431 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4432 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4433 is 40 of more characters long.
4436 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4437 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4441 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4442 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4445 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4446 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4450 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4452 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4453 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4456 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4458 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4459 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4460 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4462 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4463 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4465 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4468 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4472 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4473 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4474 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4475 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4477 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4479 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4480 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4482 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4483 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4484 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4485 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4486 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4487 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4489 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4490 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4492 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4493 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4495 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4496 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4498 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4499 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4500 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4501 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4503 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4504 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4506 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4507 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4509 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4510 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4511 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4512 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4513 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4516 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4517 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4518 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4519 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4522 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4523 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4524 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4528 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4529 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4530 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4531 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4532 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4533 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4534 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4535 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4539 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4540 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4543 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4544 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4545 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4546 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4549 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4550 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4551 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4552 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4553 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4554 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4555 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4556 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4557 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4558 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4561 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4562 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4563 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4564 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4565 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4566 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4567 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4568 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4570 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4571 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4572 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4573 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4576 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4577 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4578 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4579 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4581 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4582 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4583 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4584 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4585 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4589 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4590 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4591 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4592 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4596 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4597 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4598 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4601 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4602 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4603 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4604 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4605 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4608 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4611 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4612 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4613 option to ocsp utility.
4616 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4617 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4618 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4619 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4620 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4621 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4622 the request is nonce-less.
4625 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4626 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4627 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4630 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4631 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4632 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4635 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4636 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4637 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4638 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4639 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4642 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4643 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4647 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4648 additional certificates supplied.
4651 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4652 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4656 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4657 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4660 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4661 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4662 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4663 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4664 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4665 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4666 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4667 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4668 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4670 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4671 request to response.
4674 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4675 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4676 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4677 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4678 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4679 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4680 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4681 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4682 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4683 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4684 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4687 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4688 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4689 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4690 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4693 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4694 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4696 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4697 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4698 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4701 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4702 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4703 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4704 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4705 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4707 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4708 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4709 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4712 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4713 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4714 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4715 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4716 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4717 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4718 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4719 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4721 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4722 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4723 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4724 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4725 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4726 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4729 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4730 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4731 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4732 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4733 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4734 printout format cleaned up.
4737 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4738 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4739 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4740 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4741 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4742 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4743 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4744 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4747 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4748 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4749 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4750 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4751 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4752 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4753 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4754 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4757 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4758 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4759 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4760 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4762 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4764 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4765 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4766 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4767 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4770 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4771 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4772 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4773 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4775 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4777 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4778 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4779 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4780 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4782 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4783 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4785 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4786 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4787 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4790 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4791 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4792 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4795 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4796 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4797 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4798 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4799 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4800 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4801 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4802 functions are provided:
4804 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4805 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4806 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4807 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4809 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4810 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4811 extended allocation function is enabled.
4812 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4813 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4814 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4816 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4817 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4818 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4819 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4820 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4823 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4824 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4825 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4827 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4828 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4829 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4832 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4833 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4834 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4835 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4836 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4837 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4838 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4839 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4840 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4843 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4844 provide utility functions which an application needing
4845 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4846 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4847 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4849 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4850 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4851 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4852 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4853 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4854 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4855 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4856 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4857 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4859 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4860 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4861 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4862 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4865 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4866 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4867 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4868 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4869 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4870 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4871 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4872 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4873 will be added elsewhere.
4876 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4877 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4878 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4879 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4882 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4883 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4884 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4885 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4886 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4887 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4888 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4889 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4890 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4891 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4892 to produce the required SET OF.
4895 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4896 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4897 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4900 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4901 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4902 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4903 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4904 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4905 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4908 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4909 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4910 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4913 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4914 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4915 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4918 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4919 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4920 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4921 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4922 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4925 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4926 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4929 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4930 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4931 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4932 certifcates and CRLs.
4935 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4936 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4937 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4940 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4941 entries for variables.
4944 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4945 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4946 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4947 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4950 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4951 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4952 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4953 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4954 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4955 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4958 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4959 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4961 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4962 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4963 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4966 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4970 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4971 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4972 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4973 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4974 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4975 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4978 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4981 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4982 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4983 for now but they will eventually go away.
4986 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4987 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4988 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4989 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4990 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4991 has also been converted to the new form.
4994 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4995 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4996 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4997 for negative moduli.
5000 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5001 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5004 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5008 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5009 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5010 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5011 type-specific callbacks.
5014 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5016 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5017 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5019 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5020 in sections depending on the subject.
5023 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5027 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5028 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5029 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5030 be handled deterministically).
5031 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5033 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5034 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5035 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5038 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5041 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5042 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5043 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5044 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5045 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5048 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5049 sign of the number in question.
5051 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5053 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5054 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5055 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5056 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5057 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5060 *) New function BN_swap.
5063 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5064 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5065 results on negative inputs.
5068 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5069 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5070 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5073 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5074 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5075 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5076 and add new functions:
5085 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5089 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5091 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5092 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5094 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5095 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5096 be reduced modulo m.
5097 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5100 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5101 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5102 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5104 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5105 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5106 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5107 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5108 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5109 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5114 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5115 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5116 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5117 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5118 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5120 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5121 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5122 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5126 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5129 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5130 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5133 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5134 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5135 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5136 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5140 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5143 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5146 *) Add the following functions:
5148 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5150 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5152 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5154 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5155 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5156 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5157 libraries unless it's really needed.
5159 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5160 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5161 declarations (they differed!).
5164 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5167 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5170 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5173 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5174 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5177 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5178 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5179 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5181 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5182 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5185 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5188 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5191 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5194 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5195 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5196 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5198 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5199 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5200 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5201 different shared library filenames on each system.
5204 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5207 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5208 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5209 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5211 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5214 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5215 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5216 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5217 binary backward compatibility.
5218 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5219 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5220 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5224 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5225 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5226 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5227 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5231 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5234 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5235 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5236 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5237 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5241 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5244 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
5246 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5247 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5248 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5250 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
5252 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
5254 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
5255 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
5258 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
5260 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5262 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5263 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5265 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5266 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5270 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5271 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5275 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5276 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5277 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5278 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5280 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5281 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5284 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5286 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5287 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5288 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5289 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5292 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5293 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5294 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5295 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5296 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5298 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5299 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5300 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5301 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5302 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5303 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5304 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5305 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5306 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5309 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5311 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5312 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5313 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5314 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5315 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5317 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5318 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5319 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5321 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5323 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5324 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5325 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5326 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5327 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5328 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5331 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5332 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5333 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5334 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5335 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5338 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5339 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5340 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5342 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5343 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5344 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
5348 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
5349 being properly terminated.
5352 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
5353 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
5354 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
5355 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
5357 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
5358 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
5359 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
5360 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
5361 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
5362 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
5363 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
5365 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5367 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5368 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5371 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5372 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5373 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
5374 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
5375 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
5376 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
5377 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
5378 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
5380 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5381 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5382 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5383 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5384 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5386 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5387 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5390 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5392 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5393 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5394 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5396 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5398 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5399 and get fix the header length calculation.
5400 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5401 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5404 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5405 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5406 assertions could call abort()).
5407 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5409 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5411 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5412 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5413 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5415 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5417 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5418 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5419 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5422 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5426 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5427 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5428 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5430 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5431 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5432 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5433 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5434 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5438 *) Changes in security patch:
5440 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5441 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5442 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5445 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5446 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5447 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5448 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5449 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5451 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
5453 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5455 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5456 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5457 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
5459 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5460 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5461 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5463 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5464 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5465 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5467 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5469 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5470 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5471 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5473 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5474 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5476 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5477 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5478 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5479 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5480 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5481 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5484 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5485 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5486 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5487 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5490 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5493 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5494 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5495 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5496 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5497 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5498 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5500 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5501 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5502 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5503 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5504 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5507 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5508 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5509 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5510 BN_generate_prime().)
5512 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5513 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5514 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5518 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5519 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5522 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5523 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5524 when using non-blocking I/O.
5525 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5527 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5528 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5530 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5531 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5534 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5535 configuration for the versions before that.
5536 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5538 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5539 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5540 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5541 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5544 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5545 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5546 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5549 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5553 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5554 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5555 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5557 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5558 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5560 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5561 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5562 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5563 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5564 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5565 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5566 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5569 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5570 using a local variable.
5571 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5573 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5574 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5575 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5577 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5580 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5581 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5583 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5584 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5585 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5587 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5589 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5590 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5591 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5592 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5595 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5599 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5600 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5601 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5602 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5603 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5605 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5606 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5607 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5609 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5610 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5611 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5613 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5614 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5615 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5616 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5618 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5619 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5620 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5622 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5624 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5625 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5627 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5629 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5630 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5631 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5632 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5634 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5635 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5636 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5637 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5639 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5640 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5642 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5643 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5644 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5647 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5648 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5649 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5651 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5653 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5654 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5655 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5656 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5657 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5658 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5659 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5662 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5663 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5664 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5665 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5667 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5668 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5669 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5670 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5671 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5672 the client will at least see that alert.
5675 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5679 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5680 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5681 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5683 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5684 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5685 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5686 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5689 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5690 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5691 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5693 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5694 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5695 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5696 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5697 may leak via logfiles.)
5699 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5700 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5701 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5702 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5706 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5707 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5710 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5711 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5712 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5713 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5714 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5717 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5718 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5720 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5721 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5722 followed by modular reduction.
5723 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5725 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5726 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5729 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5730 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5731 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5732 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5735 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5738 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5739 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5742 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5743 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5744 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5745 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5746 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5747 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5749 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5751 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5752 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5753 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5754 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5755 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5757 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5760 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5761 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5762 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5763 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5764 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5765 to allow the necessary settings.
5768 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5769 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5770 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5771 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5774 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5775 dh->length and always used
5777 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5779 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5780 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5781 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5782 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5783 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5788 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5790 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5796 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5797 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5798 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5799 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5801 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5802 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5803 always reject numbers >= n.
5806 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5807 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5808 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5809 variable) is not atomic.
5812 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5813 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5814 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5815 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5817 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5818 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5820 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5822 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5824 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5827 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5829 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5830 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5831 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5832 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5833 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5834 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5835 to traverse all of 'state'.
5837 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5838 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5839 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5841 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5842 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5844 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5845 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5846 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5847 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5848 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5849 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5850 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5851 further strengthens the PRNG.
5854 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5857 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5858 an error message in this case.
5861 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5864 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5865 positive and less than q.
5868 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5869 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5871 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5873 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5874 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5878 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5880 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5881 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5882 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5883 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5884 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5885 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5886 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5889 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5890 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5891 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5892 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5894 Both problems are now fixed.
5897 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5898 (previously it was 1024).
5901 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5902 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5905 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5908 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5909 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5910 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5913 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5914 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5915 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5916 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5917 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5918 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5919 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5920 environment variables.
5922 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5923 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5924 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5927 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5928 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5929 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5930 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5931 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5932 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5935 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5939 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5941 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5942 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5944 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5945 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5946 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5947 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5951 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5952 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5953 amount of data available.
5954 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5955 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5957 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5958 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5959 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5960 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5963 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5964 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5968 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5969 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5970 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5971 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5974 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5977 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5980 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5981 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5983 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5985 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5986 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5987 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5988 (but broken) behaviour.
5991 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5993 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5995 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5996 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5999 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6003 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6004 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6006 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6009 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6010 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6011 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6013 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6014 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6015 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6018 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6019 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6022 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6023 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6025 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6027 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6029 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6030 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6031 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6032 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6035 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6038 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6039 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6040 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6042 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6045 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6047 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6048 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6049 but the code is actually correct.
6052 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6053 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6054 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6055 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6056 and leaves the highest bit random.
6057 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6059 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6060 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6061 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6062 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6063 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6064 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6065 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6068 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6071 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6072 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6075 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6076 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6077 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6078 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6082 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6083 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6084 and break the signature.
6086 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6088 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6092 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6093 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6094 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6095 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6096 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6099 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6100 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6102 *) ./config script fixes.
6103 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6105 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6108 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6109 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6110 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6111 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6112 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6114 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6115 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6118 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6119 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6122 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6123 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6124 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6125 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6127 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6128 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6130 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6131 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6132 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6133 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6134 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6136 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6139 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6142 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6145 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6148 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6149 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6152 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6153 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6154 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6155 result of the server certificate verification.)
6158 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6159 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6160 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6164 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6165 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6166 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6167 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6168 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6169 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6170 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6171 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6174 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6175 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6176 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6177 happening the other way round.
6180 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6181 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6184 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6185 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6186 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6187 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6190 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6191 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6193 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6195 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6196 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6197 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6200 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6202 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6204 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6208 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6210 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6211 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6212 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6213 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6214 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6216 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6217 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6221 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6224 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6226 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6227 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6228 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6229 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6230 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6231 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6232 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6233 by the Finished messages.
6236 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6237 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6239 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6240 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6241 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6242 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6243 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
6247 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
6248 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
6249 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
6250 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
6251 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
6252 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
6253 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
6254 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
6255 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
6259 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
6260 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
6261 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
6262 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6264 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6265 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6266 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6267 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6268 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6271 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6272 been tested well enough.
6275 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6276 it can return incorrect results.
6277 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6278 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6281 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6282 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6283 include zero length content when signing messages.
6286 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6287 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6290 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6293 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6297 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6298 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6299 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6300 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6301 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6302 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6305 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6306 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6308 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6309 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6311 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6312 random number < q in the DSA library.
6315 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6316 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6317 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6318 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6319 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6320 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6321 just makes things more complicated.)
6324 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6328 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6329 work better on such systems.
6330 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6332 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6333 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6334 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6337 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6338 if there was more than one signature.
6339 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6341 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6342 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6343 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6344 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6347 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
6348 rather than always using the current time.
6351 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
6352 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
6353 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
6354 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
6355 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
6356 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
6358 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
6359 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
6361 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
6363 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
6364 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
6365 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
6366 the same hash value.
6368 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6369 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6370 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6371 with X509_STORE internally.
6373 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6374 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6376 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6377 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6378 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6379 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6380 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6381 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6382 entirely (maybe later...).
6384 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6386 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6387 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6388 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6389 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6390 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6391 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6392 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6393 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6395 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6396 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6398 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6399 to customise the verify behaviour.
6402 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6403 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6406 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6407 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6408 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6409 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6410 request is improperly encoded.
6413 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6414 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6417 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6418 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6420 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6421 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6425 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6426 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6427 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6430 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6431 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6432 BIO/fp routines also added.
6435 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6436 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6438 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6439 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6440 demos/state_machine.
6443 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6444 generation and verification.
6447 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6448 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6449 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6450 encode and decode it manually.
6453 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6455 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6457 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6458 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6459 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6460 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6462 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6463 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6464 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6465 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6466 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6469 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6472 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6473 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6474 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6476 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6477 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6478 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6479 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6480 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6481 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6482 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6483 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6485 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6486 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6488 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6490 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6491 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6492 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6496 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6497 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6498 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6499 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6503 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6505 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6508 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6509 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6510 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6511 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6512 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6513 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6514 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6515 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6516 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6517 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6518 short or long names are found.
6521 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6522 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6524 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6525 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6526 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6527 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6529 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6530 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6531 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6532 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6535 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6536 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6537 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6540 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6541 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6542 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6543 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6544 to allow the various flags to be set.
6547 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6548 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6549 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6550 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6551 dates to be checked.
6554 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6555 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6556 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6559 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6560 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6561 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6564 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6565 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6568 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6569 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6570 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6571 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6572 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6573 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6576 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6577 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6581 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6585 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6586 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6587 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6588 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6589 form signing output easier to verify.
6592 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6595 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6596 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6597 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6598 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6599 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6600 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6601 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6602 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6603 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6604 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6607 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6609 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6610 the syntax given in objects.README.
6611 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6613 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6616 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6617 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6618 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6619 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6620 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6621 consistent name changes.
6624 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6627 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6628 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6629 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6630 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6633 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6634 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6635 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6639 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6640 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6641 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6642 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6645 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6646 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6647 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6648 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6649 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6650 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6651 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6652 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6653 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6654 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6655 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6658 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6659 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6660 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6661 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6662 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6663 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6664 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6665 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6666 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6667 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6670 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6671 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6672 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6673 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6675 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6676 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6677 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6678 omit any duplicate addresses.
6681 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6682 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6685 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6686 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6687 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6688 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6689 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6692 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6694 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6695 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6696 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6697 Free => OPENSSL_free
6700 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6701 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6704 *) CygWin32 support.
6705 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6707 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6708 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6709 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6710 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6711 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6715 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6716 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6717 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6718 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6719 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6720 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6721 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6724 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6725 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6726 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6727 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6728 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6729 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6730 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6731 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6732 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6733 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6734 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6737 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6738 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6739 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6740 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6741 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6743 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6744 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6745 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6746 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6747 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6749 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6752 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6753 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6754 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6755 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6757 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6759 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6762 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6763 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6764 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6767 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6768 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6769 any installed hardware versions can.
6772 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6773 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6774 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6778 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6779 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6780 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6781 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6782 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6784 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6785 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6788 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6789 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6792 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6793 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6794 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6798 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6801 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6802 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6803 but no ssl client purpose.
6804 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6806 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6807 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6808 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6809 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6810 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6811 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6812 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6813 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6814 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6815 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6816 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6819 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6820 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6821 be obtained from the error queue.
6824 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6825 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6826 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6827 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6830 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6833 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6834 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6835 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6836 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6837 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6840 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6841 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6842 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6843 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6844 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6847 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6848 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6849 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6851 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6853 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6854 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6855 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6856 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6857 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6858 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6859 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6860 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6861 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6862 or "the configuration storage API"...
6864 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6866 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6867 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6869 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6871 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6873 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6874 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6875 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6876 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6877 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6878 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6879 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6881 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6882 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6885 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6886 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6887 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6888 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6891 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6892 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6893 them in a portable way.
6894 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6896 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6898 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6900 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6901 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6903 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6904 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6905 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6908 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6909 was larger than the MD block size.
6910 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6912 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6913 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6914 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6915 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6919 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6920 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6921 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6923 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6925 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6927 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6928 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6929 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6930 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6931 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6932 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6934 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6935 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6937 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6938 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6941 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6944 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6945 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6947 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6948 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6949 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6950 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6953 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6954 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6955 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6956 does not suppress any output.
6959 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6960 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6961 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6962 with all the associated security issues.
6964 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6965 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6966 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6967 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6968 use the value in the default purpose.
6971 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6972 and fix a memory leak.
6975 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6976 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6977 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6978 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6981 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6982 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6983 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6984 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6987 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6988 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6989 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6992 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6993 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6996 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6997 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7001 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7002 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7005 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7006 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7007 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7010 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7011 number generation fails.
7014 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7017 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7018 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7020 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7023 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7024 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7026 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7027 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7029 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7031 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7032 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7035 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7036 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7038 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7039 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7042 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7043 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7044 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7045 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7046 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7047 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7049 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7050 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7051 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7055 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7056 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7057 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7058 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7059 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7060 counter, some don't.)
7061 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7062 counters or duplicate objects.
7065 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7066 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7069 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7070 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7071 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7073 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7074 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7075 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7079 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7080 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7083 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7084 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7085 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7089 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7090 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7091 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7094 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7095 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7096 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7097 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7098 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7099 should work without changes.
7102 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7103 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7104 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7105 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7106 must be defined. E.g.,
7107 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7108 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7109 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7110 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7112 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7116 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7117 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7118 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7121 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7122 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7123 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7124 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7127 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7128 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7129 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7130 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7131 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7132 is prompted for as usual.
7135 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7136 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7137 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7138 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7140 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7141 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7142 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7143 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7146 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7149 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7153 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7156 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7159 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7163 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7166 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7169 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7170 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7173 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7174 options to produce them.
7177 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7178 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7181 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7185 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7186 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7187 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7188 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7189 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7190 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7191 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7194 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7197 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7198 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7199 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7202 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7203 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7205 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7206 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7209 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7210 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7211 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7215 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7216 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7218 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7219 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7220 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7221 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7222 generation becomes much faster.
7224 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7225 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7226 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7227 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7228 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7229 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7230 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7231 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7232 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7233 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7236 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7237 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7238 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7239 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7240 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7241 trial division stage.
7244 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
7248 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
7251 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
7254 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
7255 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
7256 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
7260 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
7261 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
7262 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7265 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7266 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7267 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7268 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7270 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7271 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7274 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7277 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7278 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7279 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7280 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7283 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7284 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7285 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7288 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7289 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7290 (instead of parameters) in future.
7293 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7294 when a new cipher list is set.
7297 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7298 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7301 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7302 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7303 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7305 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7306 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7307 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7308 an error is flagged.
7310 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7311 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7312 the readability was also increased :-)
7313 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7315 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7316 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7317 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7318 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7322 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7323 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7326 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7327 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7328 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7329 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7332 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7333 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7334 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7335 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7336 because they handle more complex structures.)
7339 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7340 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7341 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7342 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7344 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7345 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7346 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7347 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
7348 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
7349 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
7350 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
7353 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
7354 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
7355 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
7356 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
7357 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
7360 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
7363 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
7364 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
7365 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
7366 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7367 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7370 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7374 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7375 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7376 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7377 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7380 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7383 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7384 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7385 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7386 international characters are used.
7388 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7389 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7390 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7394 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7395 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7396 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7399 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7400 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7401 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7402 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7403 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7404 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7406 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7407 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7408 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7409 be handled by the string table functions.
7411 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7412 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7413 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7414 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7415 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7419 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7420 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7421 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7422 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7423 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7425 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7426 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7427 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7428 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7431 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7432 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7433 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7434 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7435 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7439 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7440 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7441 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7442 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7443 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7444 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7445 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7446 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7448 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7449 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7450 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7453 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7454 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7455 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7456 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7457 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7458 support to pkcs8 application.
7461 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7462 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7463 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7464 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7465 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7466 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7469 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7470 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7471 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7472 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7473 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7477 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7478 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7479 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7480 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7484 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7485 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7486 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7487 and any application specific purposes.
7489 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7490 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7491 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7492 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7493 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7494 if the certificate is self signed.
7497 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7498 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7501 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7502 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7503 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7504 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7507 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7508 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7509 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7510 Update documentation.
7513 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7514 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7515 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7516 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7517 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7520 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7522 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7524 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7525 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7526 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7527 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7528 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7529 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7530 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7531 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7532 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7533 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7535 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7537 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7538 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7539 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7540 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7541 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7543 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7544 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7545 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7546 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7547 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7548 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7549 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7550 request additional information:
7551 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7552 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7554 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7555 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7556 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7559 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7560 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7563 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7566 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7567 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7569 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7570 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7571 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7575 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7576 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7577 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7579 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7580 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7581 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7582 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7583 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7584 included in OpenSSL.
7587 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7588 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7589 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7590 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7591 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7592 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7595 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7599 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7600 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7601 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7602 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7603 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7607 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7611 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7612 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7613 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7614 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7615 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7616 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7617 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7618 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7619 be maintained manually.
7621 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7622 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7623 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7624 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7625 work because people forget to call this function]
7626 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7627 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7628 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7631 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7632 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7633 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7634 should be discouraged from doing it.
7637 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7638 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7639 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7640 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7641 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7642 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7645 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7646 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7647 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7649 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7650 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7651 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7653 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7654 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7655 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7656 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7657 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7658 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7660 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7661 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7662 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7664 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7665 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7668 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7669 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7670 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7671 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7674 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7677 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7678 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7679 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7680 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7681 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7682 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7683 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7684 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7685 keys so we should be OK.
7687 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7688 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7689 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7690 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7691 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7692 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7693 stay in the name of compatibility.
7695 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7696 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7697 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7699 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7700 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7701 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7702 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7703 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7704 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7708 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7709 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7710 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7711 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7712 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7713 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7714 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7715 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7716 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7717 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7718 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7719 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7720 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7723 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7726 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7727 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7728 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7729 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7730 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7731 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7732 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7733 openssl verify ss.pem
7734 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7735 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7739 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7740 (and add it to external session representation).
7741 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7742 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7743 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7744 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7745 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7746 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7748 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7750 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7751 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7752 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7753 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7755 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7756 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7757 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7760 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7761 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7762 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7766 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7767 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7768 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7770 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7771 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7772 certificate auxiliary information.
7775 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7779 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7780 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7781 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7782 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7783 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7784 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7785 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7788 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7789 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7792 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7793 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7794 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7795 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7798 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7801 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7802 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7805 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7806 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7807 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7808 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7809 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7810 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7811 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7812 using the new 'x509' options.
7814 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7815 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7816 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7817 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7821 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7822 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7823 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7824 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7825 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7828 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7829 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7830 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7831 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7832 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7833 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7834 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7835 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7836 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7837 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7840 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7841 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7842 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7843 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7844 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7845 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7846 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7849 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7850 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7851 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7852 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7853 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7854 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7855 openssl.cnf for more info.
7858 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7859 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7860 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7861 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7862 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7863 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7864 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7865 md should be large enough anyway.
7868 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7869 for handling the random seed file.
7871 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7873 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7876 x509 (when signing).
7877 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7878 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7879 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7881 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7882 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7883 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7884 that support '-rand'.
7887 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7888 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7891 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7892 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7895 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7896 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7897 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7898 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7902 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7903 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7904 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7905 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7908 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7909 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7910 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7911 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7912 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7913 print out all the purposes.
7916 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7920 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7921 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7922 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7923 single function call.
7926 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7927 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7930 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7931 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7932 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7935 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7936 when producing the local key id.
7937 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7939 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7940 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7941 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7945 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7946 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7947 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7948 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7951 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7952 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7953 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7954 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7956 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7957 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7958 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7959 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7961 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7962 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7963 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7964 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7965 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7966 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7967 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7968 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7969 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7970 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7971 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7972 trivial: move one line.
7973 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7975 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7976 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7977 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7978 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7979 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7980 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7981 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7982 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7983 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7984 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7985 with an event loop for example.
7988 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7989 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7990 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7991 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7992 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7993 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7994 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7995 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7996 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7999 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8000 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8001 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8002 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8003 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8004 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8007 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8008 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8009 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8010 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8012 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8013 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8014 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8015 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8019 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8020 (still largely untested)
8023 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8024 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8027 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8028 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8031 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8032 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8033 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8036 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8037 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8038 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8039 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8040 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8043 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8046 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8047 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8048 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8049 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8050 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8054 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8055 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8058 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8061 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8062 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8063 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8064 are otherwise ignored at present.
8067 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8068 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8069 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8070 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8071 copied until the next read.
8074 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8075 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8076 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8079 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8080 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8081 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8082 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8083 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8084 associated functions.
8087 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8088 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8089 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8090 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8091 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8092 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8093 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8094 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8095 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8099 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8100 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8101 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8102 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8105 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8106 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8107 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8108 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8109 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8113 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8114 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8118 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8119 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8120 extensions to be obtained and added.
8123 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8124 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8127 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8129 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8130 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8132 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8133 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8135 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8139 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8140 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8141 DH parameters contain its length).
8143 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8144 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8145 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8146 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8147 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8148 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8149 utter importance to use
8150 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8152 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8153 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8154 attacks may become possible!
8157 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8160 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8161 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8164 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8165 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8166 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8170 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8171 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8172 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8173 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8174 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8175 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8176 private key operations.
8179 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8182 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8183 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8185 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8186 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8187 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8188 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8189 the password callback is called.
8190 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8192 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8194 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8195 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8196 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8197 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8198 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8199 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8202 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8203 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8204 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8205 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8206 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8207 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8210 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8213 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8214 delete an unused file.
8217 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8218 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8219 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8220 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8223 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8224 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8225 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8229 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8230 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8231 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8233 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8234 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8235 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8236 comparison" warnings.
8237 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8240 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8241 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8242 derived keys are printed to stderr.
8245 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
8246 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
8248 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
8249 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
8251 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
8252 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
8253 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
8255 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
8256 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
8257 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
8258 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
8259 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
8261 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
8263 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8264 The interface is as follows:
8265 Applications can use
8266 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8267 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8268 "off" is now the default.
8269 The library internally uses
8270 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8271 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8272 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8274 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8275 even the default) are now avoided.
8277 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8278 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8279 than just having a counter.
8281 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8283 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8287 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8288 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8289 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8290 Initial "mode" flags are:
8292 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8293 a single record has been written.
8294 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8295 retries use the same buffer location.
8296 (But all of the contents must be
8300 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8303 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8304 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8306 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8307 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8308 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8311 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8312 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8314 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8316 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8317 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8318 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8319 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8321 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8322 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8324 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8325 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8326 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8327 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8328 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8329 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8332 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8333 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8334 necessary function names.
8337 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8338 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8339 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8340 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8343 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8344 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8345 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
8348 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
8349 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
8350 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
8351 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
8353 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
8357 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
8358 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
8359 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
8362 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
8363 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8367 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8368 for the encoded length.
8369 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8371 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8374 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8375 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8376 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8377 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8380 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8381 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8382 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8384 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8385 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8386 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8390 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8391 to use the new extension code.
8394 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8395 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8396 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8400 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8401 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8402 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8406 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8409 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8410 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8411 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8414 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8415 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8416 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8417 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8420 *) DES library cleanups.
8423 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8424 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8425 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8426 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8427 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8431 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8432 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8435 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8436 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8437 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8438 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8439 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8440 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8441 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8442 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8443 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8446 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8447 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8448 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8449 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8450 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8451 value doesn't matter.
8454 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8458 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8459 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8460 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8461 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8463 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8466 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8467 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8468 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8470 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8471 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8473 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8476 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8479 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8482 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8486 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8488 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8490 *) Updated some demos.
8491 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8493 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8496 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8499 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8502 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8503 instead of using a fixed path.
8506 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8509 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8513 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8515 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8516 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8517 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8519 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8520 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8521 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8522 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8523 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8524 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8525 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8526 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8527 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8528 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8531 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8532 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8535 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8536 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8537 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8538 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8539 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8541 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8544 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8545 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8546 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8549 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8552 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8553 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8554 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8555 key elements as negative integers.
8558 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8559 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8562 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8564 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8565 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8566 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8569 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8570 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8571 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8572 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8573 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8576 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8579 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8580 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8581 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8582 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8584 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8585 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8586 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8588 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8589 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8590 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8591 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8592 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8593 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8594 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8595 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8596 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8598 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8599 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8600 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8601 does not influence s as it used to.
8603 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8604 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8605 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8606 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8607 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8608 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8611 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8612 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8613 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8617 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8618 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8619 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8623 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8624 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8625 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8629 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8630 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8633 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8634 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8639 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8640 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8642 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8643 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8645 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8648 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8651 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8652 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8654 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8655 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8656 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8660 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8661 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8662 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8663 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8664 now it really counts the depth.
8667 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8668 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8669 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8670 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8671 didn't match the private key).
8673 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8674 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8675 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8678 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8681 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8685 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8686 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8687 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8690 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8693 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8694 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8695 such as /usr/local/bin.
8698 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8699 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8701 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8704 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8705 extension adding in x509 utility.
8708 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8711 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8715 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8718 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8719 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8720 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8721 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8722 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8723 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8724 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8725 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8726 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8727 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8730 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8733 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8734 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8737 *) Fix some race conditions.
8740 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8741 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8744 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8747 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8748 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8749 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8750 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8752 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8753 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8755 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8756 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8757 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8759 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8760 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8762 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8765 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8766 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8768 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8771 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8772 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8774 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8775 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8778 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8779 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8782 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8783 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8786 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8787 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8790 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8791 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8794 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8795 support typesafe stack.
8798 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8799 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8801 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8802 old X509V3 handling code.
8805 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8808 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8811 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8814 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8815 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8817 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8818 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8819 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8820 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8821 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8824 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8825 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8826 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8827 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8828 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8830 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8831 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8832 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8833 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8835 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8836 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8837 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8838 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8840 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8841 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8842 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8843 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8844 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8845 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8848 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8849 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8852 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8853 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8856 *) Tweaks to Configure
8857 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8859 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8863 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8866 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8867 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8870 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8871 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8872 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8875 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8878 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8879 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8882 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8883 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8884 to library startup routines.
8887 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8888 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8889 codes along the way.
8892 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8893 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8894 objects to objects.h
8897 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8898 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8901 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8902 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8904 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8905 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8906 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8908 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8909 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8910 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8912 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8913 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8914 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8917 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8919 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8920 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8923 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8924 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8925 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8926 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8927 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8929 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8930 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8931 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8933 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8935 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8937 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8939 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8940 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8942 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8943 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8944 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8945 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8947 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8950 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8951 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8952 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8953 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8956 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8957 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8958 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8961 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8962 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8963 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8964 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8965 installed as `perl').
8966 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8968 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8969 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8971 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8972 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8973 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8974 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8975 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8978 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8981 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8982 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8983 is horrible: I feel ill....
8986 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8987 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8988 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8989 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8992 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8993 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8995 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8996 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8997 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8998 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9000 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9001 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9002 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9003 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9004 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9005 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9007 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9009 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9010 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9012 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9013 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9015 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9018 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9019 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9023 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9024 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9025 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9026 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9027 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9028 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9029 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9030 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9031 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9032 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9033 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9035 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9038 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9039 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9040 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9041 for linking it into DSOs.
9042 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9044 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9048 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9049 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9050 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9051 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9052 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9053 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9055 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9056 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9057 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9058 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9059 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9060 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9061 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9063 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9064 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9065 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9069 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9070 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9071 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9072 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9075 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9076 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9077 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9078 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9079 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9083 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9084 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9085 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9086 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9087 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9089 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9090 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9091 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9093 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9094 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9096 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9097 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9098 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9099 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9100 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9103 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9104 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9105 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9106 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9107 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9108 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9109 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9112 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9114 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9115 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9118 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9119 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9121 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9122 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9125 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9126 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9127 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9128 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9129 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9131 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9132 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9133 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9134 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9135 no way to reconfigure them.
9136 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9137 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9138 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9139 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9140 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9141 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9143 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9144 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9145 recognized by the users.
9146 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9148 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9149 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9150 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9151 already masked variable.
9152 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9154 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9155 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9157 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9158 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9159 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9160 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9162 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9163 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9164 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9166 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9167 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9168 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9169 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9170 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9171 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9172 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9173 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9175 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9177 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9178 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9179 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9181 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9182 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9186 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9187 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9189 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9190 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9191 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9192 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9195 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9198 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9199 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9201 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9204 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9205 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9208 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9209 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9212 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9213 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9214 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9215 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9216 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9217 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9218 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9221 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9222 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9224 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9225 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9226 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9227 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9228 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9230 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9231 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9232 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9235 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9236 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9240 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9241 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9242 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9244 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
9245 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
9246 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
9250 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
9251 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
9252 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
9253 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
9256 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
9257 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
9258 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
9259 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
9262 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
9263 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9264 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9265 so it wasn't spotted.
9266 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9268 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9269 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9270 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9271 vectors if you have them.
9274 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9275 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9278 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9279 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9280 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9281 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9283 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9284 it will update them.
9287 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9288 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9289 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9290 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9291 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9292 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9293 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9294 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9296 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9297 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9298 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9299 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9300 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9301 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9302 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9303 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9304 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9305 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9307 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9308 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9309 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9310 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9311 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9314 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9318 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9319 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9321 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9322 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9324 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9325 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9328 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9329 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9331 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9332 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9334 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9337 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9341 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9342 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9343 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9344 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9346 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9349 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9352 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
9355 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
9356 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
9359 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
9360 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
9364 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
9365 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9368 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9369 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9370 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9373 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9374 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9375 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9376 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9377 properly to be processed.
9380 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9381 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9382 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9385 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9386 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9388 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9389 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9390 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9391 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9392 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9393 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9394 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9395 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9396 or delete all the .err files.
9399 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9400 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9401 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9402 to regenerate it if needed.
9403 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9404 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9406 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9407 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9409 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9410 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9411 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9412 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9413 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9416 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9417 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9419 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9420 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9422 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9423 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9424 error, but didn't set one).
9425 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9427 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9430 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9431 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9434 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9435 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9437 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9438 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9439 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9440 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9441 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9442 OID is not part of the table.
9445 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9446 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9449 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9452 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9453 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9457 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9458 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9460 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9462 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9464 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9465 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9467 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9468 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9470 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9471 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9473 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9474 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9477 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9478 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9481 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9482 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9484 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9485 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9487 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9488 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9490 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9491 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9493 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9494 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9495 unused in the certificate verification process.
9496 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9498 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9499 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9502 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9503 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9504 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9506 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9507 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9508 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9509 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9510 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9512 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9513 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9516 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9519 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9522 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9523 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9525 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9528 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9531 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9534 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9535 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9536 other error libraries.
9539 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9542 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9543 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9547 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9548 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9549 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9550 the new set of documenation files.
9551 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9553 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9554 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9555 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9556 number of arguments.
9557 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9559 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9562 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9563 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9564 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9566 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9569 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9573 unixware-2.0-pentium
9577 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9578 before they are needed.
9581 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9585 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9587 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9588 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9589 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9591 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9594 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9595 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9596 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9598 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9599 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9600 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9602 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9603 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9604 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9606 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9607 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9609 *) Updated the README file.
9610 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9612 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9613 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9614 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9616 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9617 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9618 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9620 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9621 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9622 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9623 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9624 o removed obsolete TODO file
9625 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9626 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9628 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9629 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9630 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
9631 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
9632 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
9633 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9634 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9636 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9639 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9640 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9641 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9643 [The OpenSSL Project]
9646 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9648 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9651 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9654 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9655 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9658 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9659 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9663 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9665 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9667 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9670 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9673 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9676 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9679 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9682 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9685 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9688 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9691 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9694 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9697 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9700 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9703 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9706 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9709 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9712 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9715 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9718 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9719 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9720 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9723 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9724 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
9727 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
9730 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
9733 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
9734 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
9737 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
9740 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
9743 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
9744 bytes sent in the client random.
