5 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
8 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
10 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
11 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
12 to support policy checking and print out.
15 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
16 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
17 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
18 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
20 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
23 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
24 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
26 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
27 implementation contributed by IBM.
28 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
30 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
31 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
32 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
33 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
35 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
36 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
38 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
39 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
40 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
41 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
42 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
43 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
46 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
47 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
48 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
49 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
50 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
51 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
52 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
55 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
58 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
59 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
60 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
61 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
62 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
63 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
64 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
65 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
68 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
69 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
70 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
71 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
74 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
77 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
80 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
81 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
82 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
83 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
84 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
85 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
89 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
90 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
93 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
94 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
95 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
98 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
99 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
100 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
104 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
105 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
108 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
109 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
110 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
111 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
114 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
115 initialised value as BN_new().
116 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
118 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
121 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
122 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
123 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
124 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
125 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
126 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
127 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
128 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
129 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
130 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
131 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
132 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
133 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
134 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
135 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
137 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
138 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
139 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
140 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
143 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
144 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
145 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
146 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
147 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
148 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
149 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
150 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
151 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
154 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
155 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
156 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
157 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
158 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
159 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
160 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
163 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
164 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
165 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
166 these have been updated also.
169 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
170 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
171 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
172 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
173 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
177 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
178 structure of type "other".
181 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
182 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
183 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
184 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
185 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
186 situation in the script.
187 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
189 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
190 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
191 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
192 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
193 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
194 used as premaster secret.
195 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
197 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
198 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
199 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
201 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
202 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
204 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
205 control of the error stack.
208 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
211 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
212 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
213 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
214 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
217 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
218 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
219 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
222 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
223 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
224 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
228 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
229 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
230 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
231 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
234 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
235 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
236 the following flags are defined:
238 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
239 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
240 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
243 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
244 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
245 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
246 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
250 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
251 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
252 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
253 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
254 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
257 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
258 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
259 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
262 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
263 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
264 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
265 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
266 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
267 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
270 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
274 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
277 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
280 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
283 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
284 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
285 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
286 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
287 default implementation more easily.
290 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
294 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
295 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
298 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
299 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
300 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
301 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
303 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
304 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
305 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
309 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
310 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
314 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
315 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
316 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
317 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
318 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
320 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
322 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
323 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
324 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
328 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
329 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
330 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
331 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
332 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
333 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
334 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
335 linker additions, eg;
336 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
339 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
340 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
341 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
344 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
345 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
346 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
350 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
351 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
352 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
353 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
356 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
357 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
358 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
359 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
360 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
361 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
362 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
363 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
364 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
365 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
367 Example for using the new callback interface:
369 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
373 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
375 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
376 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
377 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
378 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
379 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
380 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
385 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
386 available to TLS with the number defined in
387 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
390 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
391 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
393 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
394 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
395 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
396 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
398 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
399 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
401 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
402 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
406 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
407 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
410 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating new macros that behave like
413 void BN_set_sign(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
414 int BN_get_sign(const BIGNUM *a);
416 and avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
417 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
419 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
420 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
421 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
423 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
425 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
428 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
429 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
430 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
431 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
433 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
434 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
435 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
436 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
437 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
438 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
439 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
440 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
442 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
443 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
446 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
447 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
449 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
450 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
451 files while avoiding the low level API.
453 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
454 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
455 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
456 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
458 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
459 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
460 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
461 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
462 instead of the low level API.
465 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
466 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
467 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
468 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
469 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
472 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
473 down to the template encoder.
476 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
477 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
480 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
481 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
482 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
483 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
485 *) Add ECDH engine support.
486 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
488 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
489 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
491 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
492 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
495 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
496 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
497 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
500 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
501 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
503 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
504 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
506 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
507 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
510 EC_GF2m_simple_method
514 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
515 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
516 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
517 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
518 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
519 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
521 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
522 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
525 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
526 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
527 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
528 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
529 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
530 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
531 various internal method names.)
533 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
534 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
536 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
537 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
539 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
540 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
542 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
543 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
544 methods are undefined.
546 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
547 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
549 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
550 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
551 length of the modulus.
553 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
554 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
556 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
557 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
559 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
560 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
562 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
563 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
564 used) in the following functions [macros]:
567 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
568 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
569 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
570 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
572 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
573 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
574 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
575 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
577 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
578 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
580 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
581 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
582 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
583 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
584 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
586 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
587 This applies to the following functions:
592 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
593 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
596 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
600 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
605 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
607 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
608 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
609 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
610 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
611 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
613 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
614 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
616 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
617 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
618 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
620 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
621 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
623 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
624 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
625 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
626 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
627 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
629 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
631 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
632 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
633 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
634 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
635 These control ASN1 encoding details:
636 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
637 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
638 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
639 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
640 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
641 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
642 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
644 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
648 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
649 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
650 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
652 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
653 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
654 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
655 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
662 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
663 EC_POINT_oct2point().
664 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
666 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
667 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
668 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
670 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
671 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
672 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
673 adding different types of curves.
674 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
676 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
677 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
678 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
681 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
682 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
684 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
685 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
686 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
687 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
689 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
691 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
692 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
694 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
695 library. Most notably,
696 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
697 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
698 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
699 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
700 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
701 extracted before the specific public key;
702 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
703 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
705 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
706 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
708 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(),
709 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
710 EC_get_builtin_curves().
711 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
715 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
717 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
718 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
719 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
720 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
721 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
722 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
726 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [XX xxx XXXX]
728 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
731 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
732 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
734 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
735 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
736 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
737 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
738 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
739 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
740 rather than being initialized to 1.
743 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
745 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
746 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
747 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
749 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
751 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
753 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
754 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
755 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
756 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
757 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
758 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
761 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
762 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
763 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
764 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
765 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
769 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
770 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
771 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
772 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
773 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
776 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
777 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
778 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
782 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
783 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
785 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
788 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
790 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
792 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
793 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
795 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
797 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
798 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
802 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
803 exiting on the first error in a request.
806 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
807 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
811 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
812 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
813 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
814 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
816 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
817 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
820 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
821 blocks during encryption.
824 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
825 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
826 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
827 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
831 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
832 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
833 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
834 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
835 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
839 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
841 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
842 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
843 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
844 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
847 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
848 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
849 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
850 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
851 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
853 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
854 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
855 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
856 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
857 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
858 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
859 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
860 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
861 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
864 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
865 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
866 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
867 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
870 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
871 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
874 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
876 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
877 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
878 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
879 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
880 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
882 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
883 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
884 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
886 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
887 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
888 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
889 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
890 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
892 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
893 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
894 used by default when no-err is given.
897 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
898 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
900 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
901 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
902 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
903 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
904 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
906 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
907 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
908 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
909 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
911 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
913 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
915 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
917 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
918 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
919 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
920 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
924 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
925 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
927 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
928 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
931 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
932 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
933 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
934 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
937 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
938 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
939 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
940 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
941 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
942 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
946 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
947 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
950 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
951 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
952 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
953 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
955 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
957 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
960 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
961 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
962 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
963 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
965 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
969 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
970 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
974 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
975 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
976 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
977 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
978 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
979 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
981 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
982 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
983 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
984 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
985 have to be made anyway).
988 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
989 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
990 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
993 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
994 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
995 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
998 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
999 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1000 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1002 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1003 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1004 edit numbers of the version.
1005 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1007 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1008 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1009 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1011 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1012 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1014 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1015 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1016 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1018 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1019 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1021 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1022 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1024 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1025 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1027 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1028 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1030 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1032 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1034 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1035 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1036 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1038 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1039 representations in a platform independent manner.
1040 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1042 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1043 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1044 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1046 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1048 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1050 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1051 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1053 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1055 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1057 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1058 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
1059 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1061 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1063 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1065 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1066 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1068 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1069 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1071 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1072 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1074 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1075 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1077 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1079 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1081 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1082 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1084 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
1085 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1087 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1088 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1090 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1092 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1093 the 0.9.6 release series:
1095 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1096 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1098 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1100 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1103 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1104 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1106 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1107 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1109 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1110 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1111 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1112 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1114 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1115 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1116 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1118 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1119 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1120 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1121 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1123 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1124 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1125 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1128 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1129 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1130 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1131 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1132 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1133 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1134 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1135 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1138 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1139 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1140 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1143 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1144 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1145 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1146 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1147 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1149 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1150 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1152 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1153 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1156 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1157 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1158 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1159 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1160 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1161 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1164 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1165 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1166 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1169 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1170 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1173 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1174 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1175 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1176 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1177 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1178 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1179 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1182 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1183 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1184 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1185 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1186 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1187 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1190 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1191 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1192 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1193 declaration has been changed from
1196 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1197 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1198 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1199 has been changed into
1200 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1202 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1203 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1204 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1206 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1207 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1209 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1210 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1211 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1212 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1213 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1214 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1215 always load it have also been added.
1218 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1219 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1220 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1222 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1224 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1225 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1226 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1228 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1229 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1230 command line option can be used to specify an
1234 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1235 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1238 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1239 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1240 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1243 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1244 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1245 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1246 to work with the new engine framework.
1247 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1249 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1250 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1251 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1252 to work with the new engine framework.
1255 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1256 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1257 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1259 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1260 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1262 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1263 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1264 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1265 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1267 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1269 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1270 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1272 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1273 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1275 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1276 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1277 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1280 *) Add new functions
1282 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1283 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1284 These are similar to
1287 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1288 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1289 still in the error queue.
1290 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1292 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1294 default_algorithms = ALL
1295 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1298 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1301 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1304 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1305 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1306 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1307 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1309 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1310 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1312 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1313 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1315 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1316 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1319 *) New functions/macros
1321 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1322 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1323 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1324 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1326 to request calling a callback function
1328 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1329 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1331 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1332 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1333 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1334 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1335 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1336 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1337 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1338 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1339 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1340 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1342 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1343 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1346 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1347 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1348 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1349 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1350 the configuration scripts.
1352 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1353 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1354 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1356 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1357 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1359 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1360 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1361 when reusing an existing buffer.
1364 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1365 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1368 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1369 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1372 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1373 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1374 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1375 has the same effect.
1376 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1378 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1379 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1380 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1381 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1382 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1383 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1386 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1387 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1388 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1389 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1391 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1392 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1393 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1394 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1396 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1397 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1400 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1401 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1402 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1403 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1404 default), and then completely removed.
1407 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1408 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1409 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1410 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1411 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1412 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1413 particular extension is supported.
1416 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1417 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1420 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1421 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1422 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1423 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1424 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1425 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1426 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1427 requires the destination to be valid.
1429 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1430 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1433 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1434 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1435 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1438 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1439 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1441 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1442 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1443 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1444 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1445 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1446 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1447 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1448 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1449 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1450 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1451 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1452 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1453 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1454 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1455 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1456 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1457 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1458 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1459 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1463 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1466 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1467 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1468 become part of libeay.num as well.
1471 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1472 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1473 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1474 false once a handshake has been completed.
1475 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1476 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1477 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1478 client has followed the request.)
1481 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1482 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1483 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1484 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1486 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1487 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1488 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1491 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1494 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1495 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1496 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1499 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1500 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1503 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1504 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1505 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1506 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1509 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1510 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1511 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1512 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1513 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1514 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1517 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1518 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1519 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1520 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1521 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1522 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1523 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1524 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1527 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1528 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1531 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1534 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1535 md_data void pointer.
1538 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1539 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1540 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1541 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1542 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1543 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1546 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1547 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1548 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1549 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1550 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1551 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1552 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1553 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1554 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1555 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1556 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1557 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1558 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1559 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1560 rather than letting it slide.
1562 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1563 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1564 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1567 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1568 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1569 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1570 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1571 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1572 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1573 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1574 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1575 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1578 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1579 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1580 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1581 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1582 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1584 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1587 *) Add EVP test program.
1590 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1593 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1594 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1595 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1596 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1597 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1600 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1601 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1602 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1603 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1604 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1605 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1606 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1608 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1609 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1610 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1615 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1616 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1617 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1618 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1619 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1623 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1624 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1625 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1626 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1629 des_key_schedule ks;
1631 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1632 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1634 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1637 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1638 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1639 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1640 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1641 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1642 functions prevents this.
1645 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1648 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1649 correct _ecb suffix.
1652 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1653 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1654 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1655 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1656 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1659 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1662 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1663 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1664 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1665 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1667 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1668 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1670 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1671 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1672 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1673 via Richard Levitte]
1675 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1676 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1677 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1678 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1681 *) Speed up EVP routines.
1684 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

1699 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1700 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1702 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1703 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1704 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1705 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1706 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1707 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1710 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1711 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1714 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1715 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1716 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1717 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1719 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1720 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1721 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1722 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1723 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1724 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1728 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1729 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1730 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1731 and interrupts/cancellations.
1734 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1735 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1738 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1739 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1740 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1742 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1743 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1747 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1748 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1749 than this minimum value is recommended.
1752 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1753 that are easily reachable.
1756 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1757 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1759 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1761 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1762 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1763 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1764 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1767 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1768 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1769 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1772 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1773 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1774 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1775 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1776 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1777 internally such as S/MIME.
1779 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1780 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1781 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1783 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1787 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1788 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1789 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1790 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1792 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1794 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1796 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1797 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1798 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1802 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1803 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1804 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1805 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1806 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1807 a window system and the like.
1810 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1811 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1814 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1815 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1816 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1817 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1818 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1819 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1820 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1821 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1822 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1826 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1827 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1831 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1832 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1833 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1834 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1835 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1836 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1837 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1838 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1841 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1842 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1843 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1844 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1845 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1846 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1847 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1848 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1849 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1850 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1851 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1852 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1853 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1854 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1855 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1856 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1857 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1860 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1861 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1862 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1863 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1864 internal engine_int.h header.
1867 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1868 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1869 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1870 modify their own ones).
1873 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1874 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1875 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1876 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1877 later on via ctrl() commands.
1878 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1879 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1880 structural references.
1881 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1882 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1883 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1884 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1885 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1886 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1887 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1888 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1889 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1890 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1891 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1892 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1895 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1896 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1897 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1898 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1899 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1900 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1901 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1902 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1905 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1906 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1909 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1910 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1913 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1914 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1915 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1916 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1917 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1918 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1919 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1922 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1923 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1924 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1925 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1926 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1928 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1929 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1933 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1935 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1936 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1937 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1939 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1940 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1942 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1943 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1944 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1946 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1947 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1949 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1950 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1952 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1954 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1955 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1956 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1959 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1960 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1963 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1964 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1965 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1966 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1967 is 40 of more characters long.
1970 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1971 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1975 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1976 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1979 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1980 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1984 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1986 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1987 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1990 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1992 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1993 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1994 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1996 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1997 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1999 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2002 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2006 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2007 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2008 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2009 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2011 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2013 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2014 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2016 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2017 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2018 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2019 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2020 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2021 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2023 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2024 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2026 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2027 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2029 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2030 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2032 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2033 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2034 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2035 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2037 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2038 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2040 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2041 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2043 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2044 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2045 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2046 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2047 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2050 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2051 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2052 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2053 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2056 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2057 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2058 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2062 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2063 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2064 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2065 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2066 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2067 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2068 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2069 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2073 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2074 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2077 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2078 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2079 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2080 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2083 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2084 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2085 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2086 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2087 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2088 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2089 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2090 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2091 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2092 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2095 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2096 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2097 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2098 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2099 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2100 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2101 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2102 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2104 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2105 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2106 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2107 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2110 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2111 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2112 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2113 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2115 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2116 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2117 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2118 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2119 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2123 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2124 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2125 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2126 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2130 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2131 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2132 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2135 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2136 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2137 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2138 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2139 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2142 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2145 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2146 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2147 option to ocsp utility.
2150 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2151 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2152 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2153 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2154 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2155 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2156 the request is nonce-less.
2159 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2160 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2161 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2164 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2165 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2166 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2169 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2170 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2171 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2172 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2173 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2176 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2177 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2181 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2182 additional certificates supplied.
2185 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2186 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2190 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2191 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2194 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2195 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2196 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2197 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2198 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2199 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2200 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2201 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2202 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2204 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2205 request to response.
2208 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2209 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2210 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2211 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2212 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2213 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2214 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2215 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2216 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2217 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2218 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2221 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2222 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2223 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2224 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2227 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2228 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2230 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2231 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2232 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2235 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2236 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2237 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2238 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2239 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2241 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2242 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2243 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2246 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2247 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2248 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2249 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2250 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2251 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2252 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2253 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2255 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2256 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2257 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2258 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2259 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2260 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2263 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2264 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2265 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2266 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2267 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2268 printout format cleaned up.
2271 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2272 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2273 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2274 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2275 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2276 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2277 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2278 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2281 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2282 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2283 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2284 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2285 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2286 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2287 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2288 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2291 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2292 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2293 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2294 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2296 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2298 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2299 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2300 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2301 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2304 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2305 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2306 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2307 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2309 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2311 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2312 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2313 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2314 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2316 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2317 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2319 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2320 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2321 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2324 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2325 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2326 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2329 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2330 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2331 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2332 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2333 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2334 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2335 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2336 functions are provided:
2338 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2339 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2340 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2341 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2343 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2344 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2345 extended allocation function is enabled.
2346 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2347 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2348 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2350 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2351 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2352 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2353 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2354 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2357 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2358 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2359 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2361 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2362 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2363 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2366 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2367 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2368 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2369 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2370 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2371 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2372 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2373 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2374 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2377 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2378 provide utility functions which an application needing
2379 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2380 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2381 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2383 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2384 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2385 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2386 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2387 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2388 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2389 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2390 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2391 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2393 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2394 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2395 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2396 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2399 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2400 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2401 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2402 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2403 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2404 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2405 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2406 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2407 will be added elsewhere.
2410 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2411 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2412 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2413 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2416 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2417 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2418 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2419 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2420 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2421 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2422 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2423 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2424 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2425 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2426 to produce the required SET OF.
2429 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2430 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2431 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2434 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2435 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2436 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2437 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2438 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2439 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2442 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2443 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2444 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2447 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2448 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2449 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2452 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2453 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2454 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2455 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2456 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2459 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2460 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2463 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2464 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2465 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2466 certifcates and CRLs.
2469 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2470 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2471 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2474 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2475 entries for variables.
2478 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2479 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2480 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2481 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2484 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2485 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2486 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2487 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2488 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2489 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2492 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2493 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2495 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2496 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2497 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2500 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2504 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2505 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2506 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2507 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2508 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2509 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2512 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2515 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2516 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2517 for now but they will eventually go away.
2520 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2521 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2522 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2523 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2524 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2525 has also been converted to the new form.
2528 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2529 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2530 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2531 for negative moduli.
2534 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2535 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2538 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2542 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2543 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2544 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2545 type-specific callbacks.
2548 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2550 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2551 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2553 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2554 in sections depending on the subject.
2557 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2561 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2562 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2563 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2564 be handled deterministically).
2565 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2567 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2568 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2569 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2572 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2575 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2576 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2577 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2578 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2579 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2582 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2583 sign of the number in question.
2585 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2587 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2588 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2589 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2590 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2591 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2594 *) New function BN_swap.
2597 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2598 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2599 results on negative inputs.
2602 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2603 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2604 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2607 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2608 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2609 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2610 and add new functions:
2619 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2623 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2625 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2626 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2628 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2629 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2630 be reduced modulo m.
2631 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2634 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2635 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2636 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2638 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2639 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2640 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2641 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2642 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2643 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2648 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2649 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2650 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2651 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2652 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2654 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2655 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2656 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2660 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2663 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2664 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2667 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2668 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2669 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2670 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2674 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2677 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2680 *) Add the following functions:
2682 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2684 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2686 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2688 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2689 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2690 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2691 libraries unless it's really needed.
2693 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2694 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2695 declarations (they differed!).
2698 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2701 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2704 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2707 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2708 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2711 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2712 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2713 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2715 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2716 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2719 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2722 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2725 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2728 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2729 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2730 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2732 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2733 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2734 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2735 different shared library filenames on each system.
2738 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2741 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2742 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2743 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2745 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2748 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2749 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2750 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2751 binary backward compatibility.
2752 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2753 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2754 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2758 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2759 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2760 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2761 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2765 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2768 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2769 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2770 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2771 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2775 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2778 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
2780 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2781 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CAN-2004-0079)
2782 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2784 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
2786 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
2788 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
2789 certain ASN.1 tags (CAN-2003-0851)
2792 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
2794 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2796 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2797 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2799 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2800 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2804 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2805 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2809 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2810 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2811 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2812 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2814 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2815 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2818 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
2820 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2821 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2822 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2823 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2826 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2827 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2828 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2829 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2830 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2832 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2833 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2834 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2835 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2836 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2837 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2838 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2839 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2840 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2843 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
2845 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2846 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2847 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2848 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2849 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
2851 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2852 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2853 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2855 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
2857 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
2858 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
2859 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
2860 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
2861 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
2862 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
2865 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
2866 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
2867 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
2868 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
2869 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
2872 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
2873 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
2874 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
2876 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
2877 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
2878 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
2882 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
2883 being properly terminated.
2886 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
2887 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
2888 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
2889 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
2891 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
2892 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
2893 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
2894 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
2895 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
2896 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
2897 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
2899 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
2901 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
2902 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
2905 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
2906 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
2907 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
2908 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
2909 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
2910 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
2911 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
2912 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
2914 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
2915 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
2916 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
2917 (see [openssl.org #212]).
2918 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2920 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
2921 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
2924 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
2926 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
2927 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
2928 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
2930 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
2932 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
2933 and get fix the header length calculation.
2934 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
2935 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
2938 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
2939 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
2940 assertions could call abort()).
2941 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
2943 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
2945 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2946 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2947 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2949 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2951 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
2952 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
2953 by the selection routines (PR #130).
2956 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
2960 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
2961 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
2962 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
2964 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
2965 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
2966 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
2967 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
2968 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
2972 *) Changes in security patch:
2974 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
2975 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
2976 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
2979 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2980 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2981 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2982 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
2983 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2985 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
2987 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2989 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
2990 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
2991 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
2993 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2994 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
2995 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2997 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
2998 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
2999 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3001 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3003 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3004 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3005 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3007 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3008 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3010 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3011 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3012 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3013 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3014 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3015 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3018 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3019 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3020 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3021 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3024 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3027 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3028 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3029 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3030 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3031 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3032 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3034 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3035 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3036 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3037 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3038 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3041 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3042 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3043 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3044 BN_generate_prime().)
3046 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3047 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3048 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3052 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3053 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3056 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3057 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3058 when using non-blocking I/O.
3059 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3061 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3062 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3064 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3065 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3068 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3069 configuration for the versions before that.
3070 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3072 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3073 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3074 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3075 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3078 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3079 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3080 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3083 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3087 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3088 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3089 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3091 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3092 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3094 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3095 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3096 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3097 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3098 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3099 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3100 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3103 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3104 using a local variable.
3105 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3107 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3108 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3109 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3111 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3114 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3115 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3117 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3118 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3119 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3121 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3123 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3124 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3125 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3126 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3129 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3133 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3134 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3135 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3136 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3137 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3139 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3140 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3141 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3143 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3144 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3145 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3147 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3148 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3149 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3150 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3152 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3153 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3154 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3156 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3158 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3159 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3161 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3163 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3164 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3165 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3166 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3168 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3169 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3170 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3171 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3173 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3174 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3176 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3177 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3178 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3181 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3182 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3183 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3185 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3187 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3188 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3189 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3190 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3191 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3192 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3193 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3196 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3197 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3198 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3199 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3201 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3202 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3203 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3204 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3205 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3206 the client will at least see that alert.
3209 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3213 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3214 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3215 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3217 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3218 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3219 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3220 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3223 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3224 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3225 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3227 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3228 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3229 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3230 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3231 may leak via logfiles.)
3233 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3234 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3235 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3236 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3240 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3241 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3244 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3245 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3246 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3247 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3248 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3251 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3252 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3254 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3255 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3256 followed by modular reduction.
3257 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3259 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3260 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3263 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3264 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3265 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3266 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3269 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3272 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3273 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3276 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3277 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3278 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3279 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3280 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3281 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3283 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3285 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3286 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3287 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3288 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3289 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3291 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3294 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3295 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3296 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3297 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3298 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3299 to allow the necessary settings.
3302 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3303 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3304 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3305 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3308 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3309 dh->length and always used
3311 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3313 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3314 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3315 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3316 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3317 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3322 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3324 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3330 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3331 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3332 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3333 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3335 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3336 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3337 always reject numbers >= n.
3340 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3341 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3342 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3343 variable) is not atomic.
3346 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3347 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3348 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3349 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3351 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3352 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3354 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3356 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3358 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3361 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3363 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3364 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3365 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3366 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3367 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3368 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3369 to traverse all of 'state'.
3371 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3372 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3373 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3375 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3376 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3378 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3379 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3380 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3381 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3382 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3383 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3384 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3385 further strengthens the PRNG.
3388 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3391 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3392 an error message in this case.
3395 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3398 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3399 positive and less than q.
3402 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3403 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3405 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3407 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3408 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3412 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3414 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3415 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3416 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3417 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3418 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3419 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3420 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3423 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3424 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3425 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3426 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3428 Both problems are now fixed.
3431 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3432 (previously it was 1024).
3435 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3436 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3439 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3442 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3443 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3444 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3447 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3448 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3449 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3450 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3451 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3452 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3453 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3454 environment variables.
3456 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3457 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3458 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3461 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3462 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3463 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3464 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3465 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3466 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3469 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3473 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3475 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3476 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3478 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3479 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3480 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3481 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3485 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3486 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3487 amount of data available.
3488 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3489 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3491 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3492 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3493 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3494 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3497 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3498 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3502 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3503 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3504 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3505 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3508 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3511 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3514 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3515 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3517 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3519 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3520 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3521 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3522 (but broken) behaviour.
3525 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3527 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3529 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3530 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3533 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3537 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3538 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3540 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3543 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3544 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3545 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3547 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3548 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3549 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3552 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3553 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3556 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3557 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3559 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3561 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3563 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3564 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3565 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3566 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3569 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3572 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3573 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3574 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3576 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3579 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3581 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3582 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3583 but the code is actually correct.
3586 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3587 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3588 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3589 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3590 and leaves the highest bit random.
3591 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3593 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3594 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3595 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3596 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3597 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3598 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3599 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3602 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3605 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3606 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3609 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3610 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3611 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3612 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3616 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3617 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3618 and break the signature.
3620 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3622 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3626 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3627 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3628 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3629 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3630 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3633 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3634 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3636 *) ./config script fixes.
3637 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3639 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3642 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3643 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3644 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3645 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3646 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3648 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3649 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3652 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3653 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3656 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3657 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3658 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3659 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3661 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3662 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3664 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3665 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3666 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3667 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3668 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3670 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3673 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3676 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3679 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3682 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3683 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3686 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3687 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3688 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3689 result of the server certificate verification.)
3692 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3693 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3694 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3698 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3699 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3700 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3701 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3702 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3703 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3704 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3705 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3708 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3709 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3710 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3711 happening the other way round.
3714 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3715 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3718 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3719 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3720 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3721 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3724 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3725 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3727 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3729 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3730 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3731 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3734 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3736 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3738 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3742 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3744 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3745 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3746 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3747 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3748 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3750 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3751 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3755 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3758 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3760 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3761 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3762 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3763 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3764 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3765 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3766 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3767 by the Finished messages.
3770 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3771 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3773 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3774 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3775 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3776 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3777 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3781 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3782 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3783 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3784 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3785 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3786 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3787 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3788 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3789 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3793 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3794 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3795 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3796 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3798 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3799 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3800 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3801 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3802 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3805 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3806 been tested well enough.
3809 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3810 it can return incorrect results.
3811 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3812 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3815 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3816 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3817 include zero length content when signing messages.
3820 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
3821 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
3824 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
3827 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
3831 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
3832 packages. The default package contains applications, application
3833 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
3834 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
3835 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
3836 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
3839 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
3840 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3842 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
3843 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
3845 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
3846 random number < q in the DSA library.
3849 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
3850 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
3851 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
3852 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
3853 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
3854 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
3855 just makes things more complicated.)
3858 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
3862 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
3863 work better on such systems.
3864 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3866 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
3867 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
3868 keyid to the certificates aux info.
3871 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
3872 if there was more than one signature.
3873 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
3875 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
3876 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
3877 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
3878 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
3881 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
3882 rather than always using the current time.
3885 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
3886 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
3887 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
3888 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
3889 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
3890 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
3892 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
3893 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
3895 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
3897 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
3898 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
3899 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
3900 the same hash value.
3902 As a result various functions (which were all internal
3903 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
3904 structure. This will break anything that messed round
3905 with X509_STORE internally.
3907 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
3908 exact match, rather than just subject name.
3910 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
3911 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
3912 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
3913 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
3914 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
3915 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
3916 entirely (maybe later...).
3918 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
3920 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
3921 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
3922 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
3923 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
3924 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
3925 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
3926 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
3927 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
3929 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
3930 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3932 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
3933 to customise the verify behaviour.
3936 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
3937 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
3940 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
3941 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
3942 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
3943 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
3944 request is improperly encoded.
3947 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
3948 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
3951 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
3952 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
3954 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
3955 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
3959 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
3960 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
3961 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
3964 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
3965 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
3966 BIO/fp routines also added.
3969 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
3970 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
3972 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
3973 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
3974 demos/state_machine.
3977 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
3978 generation and verification.
3981 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
3982 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
3983 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
3984 encode and decode it manually.
3987 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
3989 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
3991 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3992 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
3993 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
3994 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
3996 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
3997 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
3998 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
3999 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4000 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4003 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4006 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4007 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4008 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4010 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4011 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4012 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4013 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4014 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4015 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4016 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4017 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4019 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4020 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4022 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4024 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4025 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4026 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4030 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4031 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4032 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4033 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4037 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4039 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4042 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4043 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4044 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4045 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4046 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4047 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4048 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4049 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4050 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4051 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4052 short or long names are found.
4055 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4056 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4058 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4059 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4060 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4061 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4063 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4064 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4065 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4066 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4069 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4070 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4071 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4074 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4075 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4076 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4077 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4078 to allow the various flags to be set.
4081 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4082 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4083 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4084 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4085 dates to be checked.
4088 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4089 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4090 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4093 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4094 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4095 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4098 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4099 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4102 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4103 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4104 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4105 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4106 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4107 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4110 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4111 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4115 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4119 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4120 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4121 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4122 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4123 form signing output easier to verify.
4126 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4129 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4130 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4131 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4132 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4133 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4134 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4135 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4136 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4137 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4138 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4141 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4143 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4144 the syntax given in objects.README.
4145 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4147 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4150 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4151 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4152 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4153 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4154 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4155 consistent name changes.
4158 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4161 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4162 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4163 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4164 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4167 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4168 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4169 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4173 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4174 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4175 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4176 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4179 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4180 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4181 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4182 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4183 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4184 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4185 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4186 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4187 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4188 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4189 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4192 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4193 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4194 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4195 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4196 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4197 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4198 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4199 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4200 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4201 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4204 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4205 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4206 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4207 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4209 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4210 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4211 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4212 omit any duplicate addresses.
4215 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4216 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4219 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4220 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4221 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4222 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4223 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4226 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4228 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4229 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4230 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4231 Free => OPENSSL_free
4234 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4235 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4238 *) CygWin32 support.
4239 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4241 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4242 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4243 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4244 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4245 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4249 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4250 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4251 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4252 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4253 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4254 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4255 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4258 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4259 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4260 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4261 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4262 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4263 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4264 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4265 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4266 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4267 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4268 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4271 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4272 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4273 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4274 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4275 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4277 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4278 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4279 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4280 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4281 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4283 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4286 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4287 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4288 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4289 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4291 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4293 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4296 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4297 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4298 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4301 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4302 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4303 any installed hardware versions can.
4306 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4307 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4308 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4312 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4313 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4314 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4315 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4316 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4318 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4319 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4322 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4323 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4326 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4327 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4328 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4332 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4335 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4336 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4337 but no ssl client purpose.
4338 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4340 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4341 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4342 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4343 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4344 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4345 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4346 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4347 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4348 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4349 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4350 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4353 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4354 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4355 be obtained from the error queue.
4358 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4359 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4360 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4361 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4364 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4367 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4368 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4369 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4370 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4371 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4374 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4375 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4376 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4377 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4378 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4381 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4382 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4383 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4385 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4387 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4388 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4389 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4390 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4391 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4392 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4393 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4394 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4395 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4396 or "the configuration storage API"...
4398 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4400 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4401 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4403 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4405 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4407 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4408 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4409 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4410 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4411 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4412 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4413 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4415 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4416 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4419 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4420 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4421 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4422 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4425 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4426 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4427 them in a portable way.
4428 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4430 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4432 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4434 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4435 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4437 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4438 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4439 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4442 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4443 was larger than the MD block size.
4444 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4446 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4447 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4448 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4449 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4453 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4454 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4455 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4457 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4459 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4461 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4462 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4463 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4464 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4465 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4466 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4468 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4469 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4471 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4472 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4475 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4478 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4479 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4481 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4482 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4483 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4484 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4487 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4488 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4489 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4490 does not suppress any output.
4493 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4494 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4495 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4496 with all the associated security issues.
4498 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4499 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4500 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4501 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4502 use the value in the default purpose.
4505 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4506 and fix a memory leak.
4509 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4510 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4511 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4512 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4515 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4516 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4517 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4518 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4521 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4522 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4523 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4526 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4527 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4530 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4531 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4535 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4536 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4539 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4540 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4541 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4544 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4545 number generation fails.
4548 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4551 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4552 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4554 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4557 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4558 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4560 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4561 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4563 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4565 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4566 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4569 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4570 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4572 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4573 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4576 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4577 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4578 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4579 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4580 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4581 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4583 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4584 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4585 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4589 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4590 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4591 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4592 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4593 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4594 counter, some don't.)
4595 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4596 counters or duplicate objects.
4599 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4600 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4603 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4604 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4605 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4607 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4608 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4609 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4613 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4614 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4617 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4618 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4619 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4623 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4624 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4625 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4628 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4629 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4630 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4631 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4632 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4633 should work without changes.
4636 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4637 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4638 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4639 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4640 must be defined. E.g.,
4641 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4642 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4643 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4644 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4646 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4650 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4651 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4652 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4655 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4656 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4657 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4658 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4661 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4662 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4663 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4664 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
4665 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
4666 is prompted for as usual.
4669 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
4670 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
4671 autodetect the card and use it if present.
4672 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
4674 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
4675 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
4676 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
4677 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
4680 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
4683 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
4687 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
4690 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
4693 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
4697 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
4700 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
4703 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
4704 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
4707 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
4708 options to produce them.
4711 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
4712 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
4715 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
4719 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
4720 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
4721 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
4722 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
4723 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
4724 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
4725 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
4728 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
4731 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
4732 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
4733 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
4736 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
4737 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
4739 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
4740 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
4743 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
4744 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
4745 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
4749 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
4750 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
4752 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
4753 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
4754 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
4755 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
4756 generation becomes much faster.
4758 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
4759 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4760 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4761 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4762 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4763 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4764 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4765 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4766 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4767 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4770 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4771 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4772 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4773 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
4774 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
4775 trial division stage.
4778 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
4782 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
4785 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
4788 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
4789 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
4790 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
4794 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
4795 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
4796 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
4799 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
4800 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
4801 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
4802 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4804 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
4805 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
4808 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
4811 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
4812 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
4813 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
4814 Rabin-Miller iterations.
4817 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
4818 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
4819 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
4822 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
4823 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
4824 (instead of parameters) in future.
4827 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
4828 when a new cipher list is set.
4831 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
4832 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
4835 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
4836 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
4837 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
4839 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
4840 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
4841 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
4842 an error is flagged.
4844 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
4845 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
4846 the readability was also increased :-)
4847 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4849 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
4850 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
4851 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
4852 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
4856 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
4857 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
4860 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
4861 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
4862 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
4863 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
4866 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
4867 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
4868 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
4869 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
4870 because they handle more complex structures.)
4873 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
4874 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
4875 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
4876 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4878 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
4879 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
4880 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
4881 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
4882 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
4883 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
4884 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
4887 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
4888 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
4889 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
4890 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
4891 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
4894 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
4897 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
4898 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
4899 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
4900 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
4901 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
4904 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
4908 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
4909 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
4910 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
4911 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
4914 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
4917 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
4918 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
4919 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
4920 international characters are used.
4922 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
4923 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
4924 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
4928 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
4929 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
4930 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
4933 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
4934 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
4935 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
4936 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
4937 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
4938 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
4940 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
4941 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
4942 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
4943 be handled by the string table functions.
4945 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
4946 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
4947 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
4948 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
4949 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
4953 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
4954 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
4955 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
4956 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
4957 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
4959 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
4960 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
4961 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
4962 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
4965 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
4966 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
4967 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
4968 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
4969 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
4973 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
4974 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
4975 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
4976 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
4977 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
4978 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
4979 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
4980 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
4982 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
4983 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
4984 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
4987 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
4988 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
4989 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
4990 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
4991 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
4992 support to pkcs8 application.
4995 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
4996 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
4997 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
4998 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
4999 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5000 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5003 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5004 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5005 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5006 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5007 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5011 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5012 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5013 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5014 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5018 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5019 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5020 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5021 and any application specific purposes.
5023 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5024 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5025 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5026 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5027 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5028 if the certificate is self signed.
5031 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5032 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5035 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5036 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5037 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5038 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5041 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5042 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5043 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5044 Update documentation.
5047 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5048 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5049 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5050 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5051 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5054 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5056 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5058 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5059 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5060 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5061 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5062 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5063 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5064 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5065 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5066 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5067 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5069 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5071 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5072 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5073 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5074 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5075 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5077 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5078 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5079 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5080 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5081 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5082 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5083 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5084 request additional information:
5085 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5086 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5088 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5089 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5090 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5093 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5094 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5097 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5100 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5101 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5103 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5104 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5105 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5109 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5110 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5111 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5113 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5114 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5115 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5116 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5117 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5118 included in OpenSSL.
5121 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5122 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5123 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5124 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5125 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5126 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5129 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5133 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5134 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5135 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5136 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5137 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5141 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5145 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5146 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5147 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5148 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5149 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5150 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5151 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5152 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5153 be maintained manually.
5155 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5156 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5157 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5158 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5159 work because people forget to call this function]
5160 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5161 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5162 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5165 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5166 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5167 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5168 should be discouraged from doing it.
5171 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5172 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5173 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5174 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5175 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5176 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5179 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5180 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5181 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5183 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5184 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5185 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5187 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5188 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5189 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5190 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5191 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5192 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5194 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5195 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5196 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5198 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5199 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5202 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5203 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5204 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5205 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5208 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5211 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5212 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5213 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5214 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5215 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5216 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5217 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5218 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5219 keys so we should be OK.
5221 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5222 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5223 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5224 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5225 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5226 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5227 stay in the name of compatibility.
5229 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5230 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5231 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5233 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5234 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5235 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5236 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5237 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5238 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5242 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5243 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5244 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5245 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5246 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5247 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5248 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5249 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5250 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5251 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5252 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5253 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5254 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5257 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5260 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5261 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5262 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5263 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5264 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5265 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5266 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5267 openssl verify ss.pem
5268 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5269 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5273 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5274 (and add it to external session representation).
5275 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5276 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5277 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5278 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5279 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5280 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5282 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5284 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5285 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5286 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5287 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5289 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5290 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5291 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5294 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5295 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5296 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5300 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5301 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5302 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5304 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5305 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5306 certificate auxiliary information.
5309 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5313 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5314 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5315 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5316 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5317 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5318 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5319 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5322 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5323 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5326 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5327 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5328 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5329 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5332 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5335 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5336 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5339 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5340 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5341 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5342 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5343 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5344 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5345 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5346 using the new 'x509' options.
5348 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5349 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5350 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5351 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5355 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5356 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5357 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5358 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5359 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5362 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5363 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5364 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5365 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5366 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5367 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5368 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5369 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5370 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5371 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5374 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5375 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5376 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5377 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5378 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5379 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5380 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5383 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5384 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5385 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5386 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5387 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5388 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5389 openssl.cnf for more info.
5392 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5393 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5394 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5395 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5396 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5397 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5398 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5399 md should be large enough anyway.
5402 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5403 for handling the random seed file.
5405 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5407 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5410 x509 (when signing).
5411 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5412 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5413 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5415 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5416 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5417 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5418 that support '-rand'.
5421 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5422 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5425 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5426 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5429 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5430 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5431 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5432 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5436 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5437 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5438 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5439 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5442 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5443 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5444 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5445 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5446 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5447 print out all the purposes.
5450 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5454 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5455 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5456 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5457 single function call.
5460 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5461 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5464 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5465 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5466 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5469 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5470 when producing the local key id.
5471 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5473 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5474 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5475 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5479 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5480 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5481 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5482 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5485 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5486 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5487 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5488 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5490 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5491 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5492 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5493 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5495 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5496 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5497 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5498 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5499 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5500 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5501 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5502 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5503 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5504 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5505 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5506 trivial: move one line.
5507 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5509 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5510 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5511 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5512 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5513 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5514 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5515 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5516 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5517 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5518 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5519 with an event loop for example.
5522 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5523 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5524 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5525 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5526 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5527 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5528 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5529 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5530 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5533 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5534 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5535 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5536 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5537 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5538 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5541 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5542 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5543 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5544 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5546 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5547 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5548 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5549 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5553 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5554 (still largely untested)
5557 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5558 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5561 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5562 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5565 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5566 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5567 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5570 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5571 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5572 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5573 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5574 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5577 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5580 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5581 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5582 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5583 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5584 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5588 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5589 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5592 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5595 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5596 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5597 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5598 are otherwise ignored at present.
5601 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5602 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5603 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5604 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5605 copied until the next read.
5608 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5609 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5610 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5613 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5614 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5615 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5616 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5617 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5618 associated functions.
5621 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5622 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5623 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5624 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5625 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5626 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5627 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5628 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5629 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5633 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5634 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5635 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5636 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5639 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5640 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5641 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5642 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5643 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5647 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5648 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5652 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5653 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5654 extensions to be obtained and added.
5657 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5658 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5661 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5663 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5664 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5666 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
5667 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
5669 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
5673 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
5674 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
5675 DH parameters contain its length).
5677 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
5678 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
5679 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
5680 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
5681 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
5682 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
5683 utter importance to use
5684 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5686 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5687 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
5688 attacks may become possible!
5691 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
5694 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
5695 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
5698 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
5699 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
5700 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
5704 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
5705 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
5706 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
5707 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
5708 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
5709 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
5710 private key operations.
5713 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
5716 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
5717 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
5719 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
5720 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
5721 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
5722 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
5723 the password callback is called.
5724 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
5726 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
5728 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
5729 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
5730 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
5731 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
5732 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
5733 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
5736 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
5737 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
5738 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
5739 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
5740 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
5741 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
5744 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
5747 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
5748 delete an unused file.
5751 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
5752 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
5753 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
5754 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
5757 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
5758 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
5759 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5763 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5764 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5765 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5767 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5768 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5769 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5770 comparison" warnings.
5771 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
5774 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
5775 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
5776 derived keys are printed to stderr.
5779 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
5780 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
5782 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
5783 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
5785 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
5786 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
5787 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
5789 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
5790 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
5791 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
5792 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
5793 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
5795 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
5797 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
5798 The interface is as follows:
5799 Applications can use
5800 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
5801 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
5802 "off" is now the default.
5803 The library internally uses
5804 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
5805 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
5806 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
5808 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
5809 even the default) are now avoided.
5811 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
5812 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
5813 than just having a counter.
5815 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
5817 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
5821 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
5822 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
5823 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
5824 Initial "mode" flags are:
5826 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
5827 a single record has been written.
5828 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
5829 retries use the same buffer location.
5830 (But all of the contents must be
5834 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
5837 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
5838 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
5840 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
5841 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
5842 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
5845 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
5846 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
5848 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
5850 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
5851 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
5852 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
5853 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
5855 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
5856 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
5858 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
5859 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
5860 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
5861 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
5862 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
5863 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
5866 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
5867 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
5868 necessary function names.
5871 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
5872 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
5873 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
5874 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
5877 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
5878 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
5879 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
5882 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
5883 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
5884 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
5885 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
5887 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
5891 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
5892 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
5893 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
5896 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
5897 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
5901 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
5902 for the encoded length.
5903 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
5905 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
5908 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
5909 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
5910 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
5911 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
5914 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
5915 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
5916 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5918 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
5919 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
5920 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
5924 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
5925 to use the new extension code.
5928 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
5929 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
5930 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
5934 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
5935 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
5936 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
5940 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
5943 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
5944 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
5945 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
5948 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
5949 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
5950 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
5951 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
5954 *) DES library cleanups.
5957 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
5958 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
5959 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
5960 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
5961 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
5965 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
5966 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
5969 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
5970 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
5971 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
5972 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
5973 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
5974 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
5975 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
5976 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
5977 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
5980 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
5981 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
5982 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
5983 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
5984 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
5985 value doesn't matter.
5988 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
5992 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
5993 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
5994 "linux-sparc" configuration.
5995 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
5997 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6000 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6001 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6002 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6004 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6005 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6007 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6010 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6013 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6016 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6020 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6022 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6024 *) Updated some demos.
6025 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6027 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6030 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6033 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6036 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6037 instead of using a fixed path.
6040 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6043 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6047 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6049 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6050 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6051 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6053 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6054 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6055 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6056 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6057 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6058 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6059 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6060 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6061 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6062 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6065 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6066 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6069 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6070 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6071 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6072 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6073 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6075 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6078 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6079 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6080 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6083 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6086 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6087 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6088 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6089 key elements as negative integers.
6092 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6093 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6096 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6098 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6099 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6100 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6103 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6104 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6105 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6106 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6107 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6110 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6113 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6114 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6115 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6116 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6118 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6119 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6120 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6122 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6123 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6124 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6125 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6126 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6127 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6128 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6129 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6130 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6132 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6133 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6134 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6135 does not influence s as it used to.
6137 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6138 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6139 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6140 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6141 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6142 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6145 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6146 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6147 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6151 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6152 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6153 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6157 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6158 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6159 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6163 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6164 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6167 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6168 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6173 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6174 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6176 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6177 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6179 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6182 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6185 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6186 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6188 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6189 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6190 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6194 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6195 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6196 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6197 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6198 now it really counts the depth.
6201 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6202 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6203 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6204 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6205 didn't match the private key).
6207 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6208 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6209 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6212 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6215 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6219 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6220 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6221 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6224 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6227 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6228 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6229 such as /usr/local/bin.
6232 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6233 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6235 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6238 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6239 extension adding in x509 utility.
6242 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6245 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6249 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6252 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6253 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6254 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6255 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6256 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6257 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6258 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6259 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6260 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6261 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6264 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6267 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6268 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6271 *) Fix some race conditions.
6274 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6275 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6278 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6281 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6282 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6283 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6284 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6286 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6287 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6289 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6290 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6291 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6293 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6294 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6296 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6299 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6300 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6302 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6305 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6306 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6308 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6309 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6312 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6313 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6316 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6317 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6320 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6321 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6324 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6325 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6328 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6329 support typesafe stack.
6332 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6333 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6335 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6336 old X509V3 handling code.
6339 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6342 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6345 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6348 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6349 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6351 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6352 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6353 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6354 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6355 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6358 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6359 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6360 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6361 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6362 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6364 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6365 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6366 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6367 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6369 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6370 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6371 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6372 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6374 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6375 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6376 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6377 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6378 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6379 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6382 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6383 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6386 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6387 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6390 *) Tweaks to Configure
6391 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6393 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6397 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6400 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6401 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6404 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6405 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6406 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6409 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6412 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6413 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6416 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6417 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6418 to library startup routines.
6421 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6422 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6423 codes along the way.
6426 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6427 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6428 objects to objects.h
6431 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6432 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6435 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6436 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6438 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6439 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6440 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6442 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6443 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6444 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6446 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6447 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6448 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6451 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6453 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6454 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6457 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6458 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6459 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6460 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6461 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6463 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6464 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6465 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6467 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6469 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6471 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6473 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6474 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6476 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6477 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6478 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6479 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6481 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6484 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6485 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6486 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6487 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6490 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6491 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6492 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6495 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6496 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6497 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6498 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6499 installed as `perl').
6500 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6502 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6503 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6505 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6506 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6507 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6508 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6509 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6512 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6515 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6516 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6517 is horrible: I feel ill....
6520 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6521 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6522 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6523 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6526 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6527 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6529 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6530 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6531 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6532 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6534 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6535 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6536 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6537 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6538 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6539 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6541 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6543 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6544 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6546 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6547 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6549 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6552 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6553 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6557 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6558 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6559 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6560 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6561 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6562 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6563 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6564 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6565 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6566 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6567 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6569 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6572 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6573 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6574 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6575 for linking it into DSOs.
6576 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6578 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6582 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6583 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6584 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6585 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6586 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6587 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6589 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6590 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6591 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6592 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6593 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6594 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6595 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6597 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6598 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6599 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6603 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6604 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6605 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6606 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6609 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6610 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6611 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6612 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6613 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6617 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6618 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6619 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6620 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6621 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6623 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6624 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6625 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6627 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6628 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6630 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6631 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6632 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6633 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6634 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6637 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6638 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6639 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6640 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6641 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6642 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6643 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6646 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6648 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6649 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6652 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6653 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6655 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6656 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6659 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6660 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6661 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6662 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6663 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6665 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
6666 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
6667 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
6668 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
6669 no way to reconfigure them.
6670 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
6671 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
6672 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
6673 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
6674 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
6675 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6677 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
6678 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
6679 recognized by the users.
6680 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6682 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
6683 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
6684 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
6685 already masked variable.
6686 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6688 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
6689 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6691 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
6692 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
6693 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
6694 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6696 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
6697 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
6698 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6700 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
6701 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
6702 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
6703 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
6704 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
6705 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
6706 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
6707 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
6709 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6711 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
6712 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
6713 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6715 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
6716 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
6720 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
6721 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6723 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
6724 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
6725 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
6726 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
6729 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
6732 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
6733 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6735 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
6738 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
6739 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
6742 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
6743 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
6746 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
6747 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
6748 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
6749 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
6750 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
6751 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
6752 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
6755 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
6756 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6758 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
6759 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6760 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6761 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6762 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6764 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6765 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6766 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6769 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6770 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
6774 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
6775 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
6776 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6778 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
6779 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
6780 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
6784 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
6785 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
6786 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
6787 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
6790 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
6791 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
6792 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
6793 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
6796 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
6797 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
6798 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
6799 so it wasn't spotted.
6800 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
6802 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
6803 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
6804 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
6805 vectors if you have them.
6808 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
6809 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
6812 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
6813 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
6814 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
6815 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
6817 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
6818 it will update them.
6821 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
6822 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
6823 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
6824 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
6825 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
6826 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
6827 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
6828 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6830 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
6831 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
6832 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
6833 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
6834 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
6835 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
6836 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
6837 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
6838 the crypto/md/ stuff).
6839 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6841 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
6842 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
6843 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
6844 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
6845 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
6848 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
6852 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
6853 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6855 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
6856 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6858 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
6859 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
6862 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
6863 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
6865 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
6866 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
6868 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
6871 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
6875 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
6876 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
6877 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
6878 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6880 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6883 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6886 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
6889 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
6890 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
6893 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
6894 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
6898 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
6899 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
6902 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
6903 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
6904 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
6907 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
6908 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
6909 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
6910 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
6911 properly to be processed.
6914 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
6915 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
6916 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
6919 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
6920 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
6922 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
6923 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
6924 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
6925 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
6926 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
6927 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
6928 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
6929 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
6930 or delete all the .err files.
6933 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
6934 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
6935 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
6936 to regenerate it if needed.
6937 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
6938 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
6940 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
6941 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6943 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
6944 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
6945 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
6946 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
6947 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
6950 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
6951 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6953 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
6954 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6956 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
6957 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
6958 error, but didn't set one).
6959 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6961 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
6964 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
6965 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
6968 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
6969 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
6971 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
6972 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
6973 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
6974 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
6975 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
6976 OID is not part of the table.
6979 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
6980 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
6983 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
6986 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
6987 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
6991 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
6992 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
6994 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
6996 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6998 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
6999 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7001 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7002 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7004 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7005 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7007 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7008 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7011 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7012 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7015 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7016 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7018 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7019 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7021 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7022 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7024 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7025 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7027 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7028 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7029 unused in the certificate verification process.
7030 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7032 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7033 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7036 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7037 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7038 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7040 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7041 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7042 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7043 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7044 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7046 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7047 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7050 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7053 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7056 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7057 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7059 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7062 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7065 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7068 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7069 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7070 other error libraries.
7073 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7076 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7077 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7081 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7082 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7083 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7084 the new set of documenation files.
7085 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7087 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7088 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7089 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7090 number of arguments.
7091 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7093 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7096 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7097 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7098 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7100 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7103 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7107 unixware-2.0-pentium
7111 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7112 before they are needed.
7115 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7119 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7121 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7122 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7123 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7125 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7128 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7129 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7130 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7132 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7133 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7134 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7136 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7137 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7138 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7140 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7141 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7143 *) Updated the README file.
7144 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7146 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7147 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7148 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7150 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7151 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7152 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7154 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7155 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7156 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7157 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7158 o removed obsolete TODO file
7159 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7160 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7162 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7163 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7164 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

7167 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7168 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7170 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7173 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7174 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7175 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7177 [The OpenSSL Project]
7180 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7182 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7185 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7188 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7189 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7192 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7193 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7197 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7199 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7201 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7204 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7207 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7210 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7213 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7216 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7219 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7222 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7225 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7228 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7231 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7234 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7237 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7240 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7243 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7246 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7249 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7252 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7253 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7254 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7257 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7258 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7261 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7264 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7267 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7268 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7271 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7274 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7277 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7278 bytes sent in the client random.
