5 Changes between 0.9.8k and 1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
11 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
12 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
13 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
14 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
15 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
16 attempting to work them out.
19 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
20 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
21 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
22 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
25 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
26 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
27 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
28 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
29 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
32 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
33 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
40 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
42 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
46 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
47 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
49 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
50 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
52 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
53 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
54 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
55 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
56 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
59 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
60 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
61 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
64 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
65 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
68 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
69 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
71 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
72 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
75 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
78 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
79 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
80 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
84 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
85 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
86 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
87 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
88 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
89 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
92 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
93 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
95 This work was sponsored by Google.
98 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
99 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
100 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
101 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
102 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
103 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
104 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
107 This work was sponsored by Google.
110 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
112 This work was sponsored by Google.
115 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
116 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
117 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
118 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
120 This work was sponsored by Google.
123 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
124 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
125 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
126 CRL functionality in future.
128 This work was sponsored by Google.
131 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
133 This work was sponsored by Google.
136 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
137 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
139 This work was sponsored by Google.
142 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
143 and URI types are currently supported.
145 This work was sponsored by Google.
148 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
149 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
150 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
151 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
152 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
153 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
154 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
155 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
157 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
158 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
159 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
161 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
162 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
163 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
164 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
166 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
167 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
168 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
169 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
170 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
171 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
172 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
173 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
175 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
177 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
178 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
179 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
181 This work was sponsored by Google.
184 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
187 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
188 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
189 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
192 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
193 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
196 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
197 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
200 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
201 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
202 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
203 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
204 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
205 content types and variants.
208 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
211 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
212 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
213 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
214 files from the associated perl scripts.
217 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
218 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
219 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
221 *) s390x assembler pack.
224 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
228 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
229 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
230 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
231 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
232 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
233 to use. For example, specify an option
235 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
237 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
238 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
239 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
240 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
241 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
242 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
244 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
245 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
246 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
247 return non-zero for success.
249 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
252 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
253 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
257 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
260 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
261 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
262 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
263 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
264 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
265 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
266 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
267 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
268 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
270 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
271 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
272 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
273 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
274 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
275 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
277 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
278 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
279 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
280 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
281 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
282 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
286 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
289 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
291 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
292 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
293 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
296 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
297 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
300 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
301 protection in servers so again support should be possible
302 with no application modification.
304 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
305 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
307 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
308 or server extensions to be examined.
310 This work was sponsored by Google.
313 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
314 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
315 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
317 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
318 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
320 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
322 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
323 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
324 to output in BER and PEM format.
327 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
328 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
329 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
330 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
331 -macopt options to dgst utility.
334 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
335 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
336 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
340 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
341 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
342 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
343 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
344 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
345 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
346 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
347 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
350 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
351 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
352 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
353 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
355 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
356 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
357 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
361 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
362 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
363 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
364 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
365 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
366 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
367 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
368 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
369 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
371 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
372 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
373 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
374 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
375 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
376 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
377 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
378 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
379 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
380 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
381 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
384 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
385 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
386 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
388 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
389 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
393 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
394 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
395 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
398 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
399 it yet and it is largely untested.
402 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
405 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
406 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
407 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
410 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
413 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
414 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
415 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
416 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
419 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
420 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
421 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
422 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
423 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
426 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
427 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
430 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
431 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
432 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
433 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
436 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
437 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
438 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
439 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
442 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
443 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
446 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
447 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
448 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
449 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
452 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
453 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
454 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
457 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
461 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
462 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
465 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
466 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
467 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
471 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
472 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
473 to free up any added signature OIDs.
476 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
477 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
478 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
479 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
482 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
483 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
484 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
485 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
486 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
487 the array representation useful in a more general context.
490 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
491 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
492 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
493 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
494 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
496 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
497 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
498 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
499 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
500 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
503 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
504 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
505 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
506 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
508 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
509 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
510 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
511 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
512 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
518 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
519 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
523 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
524 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
527 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
528 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
531 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
532 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
533 functional reference processing.
536 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
537 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
541 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
542 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
543 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
546 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
547 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
548 application to support multiple signers.
551 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
555 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
556 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
557 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
558 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
559 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
562 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
566 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
567 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
568 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
569 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
573 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
574 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
575 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
576 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
577 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
578 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
579 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
580 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
583 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
584 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
585 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
586 between digests and public key types.
589 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
590 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
591 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
592 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
595 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
596 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
600 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
603 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
607 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
608 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
609 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
610 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
615 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
617 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
619 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
621 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
622 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
623 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
624 functionality for RSA.
627 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
628 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
629 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
632 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
633 key API, doesn't do much yet.
636 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
637 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
638 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
641 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
642 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
645 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
646 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
649 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
650 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
654 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
655 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
656 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
660 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
661 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
662 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
663 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
664 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
665 of public and private key structures.
668 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
669 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
672 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
673 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
674 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
677 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
681 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
682 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
684 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
686 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
688 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
689 and response verification functionality.
690 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
692 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
693 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
694 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
695 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
696 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
697 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
698 server_name extension.
700 New functions (subject to change):
703 SSL_get_servername_type()
706 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
708 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
709 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
710 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
711 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
712 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
714 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
716 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
717 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
718 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
719 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
720 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
721 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
724 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
726 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
729 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
730 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
731 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
732 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
733 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
736 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
737 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
741 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
742 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
743 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
744 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
747 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
748 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
749 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
750 using the maximum available value.
753 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
754 in addition to the text details.
757 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
758 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
759 handle several customised structures at all.
762 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
763 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
764 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
767 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
770 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
771 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
772 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
775 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
776 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
777 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
780 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
781 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
785 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
788 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
791 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [xx XXX xxxx]
793 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
794 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
795 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
796 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
797 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
798 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
799 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
801 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
803 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
804 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
805 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
806 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
807 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
808 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
809 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
811 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
812 parent structure is freed.
815 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
816 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
819 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
821 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
823 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
824 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
825 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
826 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
828 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
829 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
830 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
831 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
833 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
834 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
835 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
838 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
839 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
843 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
844 to handle some structures.
847 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
849 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
851 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
854 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
857 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
860 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
861 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
865 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
867 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
869 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
871 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
874 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
875 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
876 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
877 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
879 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
880 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
882 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
883 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
886 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
887 s_client and s_server.
890 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
891 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
893 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
894 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
896 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
897 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
898 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
899 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
900 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
903 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
905 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
906 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
909 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
910 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
911 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
912 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
914 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
915 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
917 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
919 *) Various precautionary measures:
921 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
923 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
924 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
925 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
927 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
928 outside the expected range.
930 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
933 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
935 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
936 the load fails. Useful for distros.
937 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
939 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
942 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
945 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
947 This work was sponsored by Logica.
950 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
951 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
952 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
954 This work was sponsored by Logica.
957 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
958 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
959 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
963 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
965 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
966 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
967 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
968 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
970 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
971 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
974 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
976 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
977 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
978 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
980 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
982 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
983 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
984 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
985 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
988 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
989 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
990 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
991 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
992 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
993 invalid read after the end of 'db').
994 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
996 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
998 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
999 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1000 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1001 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1002 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1004 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1005 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1007 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1008 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1009 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1010 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1011 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1013 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1015 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1016 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1017 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1018 sets may exist with different names.
1021 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1022 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1023 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1024 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1025 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1026 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1027 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1028 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1029 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1031 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1033 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1034 implemention in the following ways:
1036 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1039 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1040 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1041 ignored for embedded content.
1043 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1044 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1047 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1048 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1049 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1050 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1052 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1053 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1056 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1057 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1060 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1061 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1062 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1063 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1064 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1065 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1069 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1070 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1071 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1075 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1076 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1077 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1078 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1079 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1080 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
1081 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
1082 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
1084 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
1085 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
1086 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1087 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1088 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1089 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1090 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1092 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1093 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1094 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1095 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1096 to s_client and s_server.
1099 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1101 *) Fix various bugs:
1102 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1103 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1104 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1105 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1106 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1108 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1110 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1111 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1112 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1113 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1114 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1115 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1116 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1117 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1120 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1121 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1122 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1125 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1126 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1127 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1130 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1131 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1134 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1135 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1136 with no application modification.
1138 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1139 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1141 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1142 or server extensions to be examined.
1144 This work was sponsored by Google.
1147 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1148 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1149 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1150 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1151 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1152 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1153 server_name extension.
1155 New functions (subject to change):
1157 SSL_get_servername()
1158 SSL_get_servername_type()
1161 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1163 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1164 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1165 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1166 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1167 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1169 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1171 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1172 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1173 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1174 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1175 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1176 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1179 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1181 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1184 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1187 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1188 (which previously caused an internal error).
1191 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1194 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1195 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1197 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1198 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1199 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1201 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1202 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1203 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1204 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1206 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1207 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1208 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1209 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1211 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1212 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1213 information. For detailed background information, see
1214 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1215 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1216 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1217 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1218 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1219 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1220 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1221 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1222 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1223 remove a conditional branch.
1225 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1226 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1227 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1228 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1229 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1230 remains as a deprecated alias.
1232 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1233 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1234 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1235 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1237 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1238 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1239 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1240 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1241 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1242 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1243 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1244 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1246 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1248 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1249 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1250 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1251 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1252 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1253 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1254 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1255 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1256 in a different context.
1259 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1260 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1261 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1264 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1265 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1266 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1268 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1270 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1271 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1272 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1273 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1274 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1277 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1278 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1279 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1280 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1281 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1282 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1285 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1286 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1287 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1288 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1289 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1292 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1293 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1295 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1296 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1297 Improve header file function name parsing.
1300 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1301 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1304 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1306 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1307 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1308 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1310 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1311 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1313 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1314 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1316 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1317 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1318 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1320 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1321 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1322 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1323 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1324 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1325 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1326 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1327 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1328 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1330 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1331 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1332 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1333 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1334 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1336 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1337 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1338 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1339 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1340 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1341 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1342 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1343 multiple values to extend the available space.
1347 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1349 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1350 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1352 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1355 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1356 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1357 undesirable limitations.
1358 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1360 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1361 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1362 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1363 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1364 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1365 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1366 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1369 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1371 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1372 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1373 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1375 The latter two were purportedly from
1376 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1379 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1380 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1381 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1384 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1385 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1388 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1389 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1390 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1391 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1393 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1394 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1395 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1398 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1399 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1400 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1401 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1402 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1403 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1406 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1408 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1409 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1412 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1413 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1415 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1416 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1417 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1418 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1421 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1422 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1425 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1426 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1427 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1428 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1429 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1430 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1431 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1435 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1436 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1437 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1438 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1441 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1442 under VC++ build system.
1445 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1446 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1449 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1451 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1452 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1453 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1454 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1455 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1457 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1458 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1459 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1461 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1464 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1465 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1468 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1469 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1471 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1474 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1475 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1477 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1478 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1481 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1482 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1486 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1488 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1491 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1494 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1495 key into the same file any more.
1498 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1501 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1502 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1504 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1505 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1508 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1509 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1510 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1511 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1512 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1513 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1515 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1516 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1517 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1520 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1521 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1522 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1523 - add new function for parameter creation
1524 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1525 BN_BLINDING parameters
1526 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1527 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1528 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1532 *) Add support for DTLS.
1533 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1535 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1536 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1539 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1540 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1543 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1544 the apps/openssl applications.
1547 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1548 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1549 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1552 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1553 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1555 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1556 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1558 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1559 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1560 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1561 avoid this algorithm.)
1565 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1566 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1567 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1570 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1571 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1574 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1575 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1576 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1579 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1581 The blank line is mandatory.
1585 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1586 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1590 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1591 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1593 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1594 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1595 to support policy checking and print out.
1598 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1599 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1600 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1601 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1603 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1606 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1607 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1609 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1610 implementation contributed by IBM.
1611 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1613 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1614 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1615 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1616 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1618 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1619 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1621 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1622 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1623 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1624 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1625 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1626 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1629 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1630 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1631 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1632 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1633 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1634 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1635 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1638 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1641 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1642 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1643 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1644 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1645 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1646 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1647 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1648 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1651 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1652 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1653 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1654 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1657 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1660 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1663 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1664 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1665 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1666 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1667 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1668 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1669 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1672 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1673 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1676 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1677 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1678 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1681 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1682 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1683 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1687 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1688 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1691 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1692 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1693 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1694 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1697 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1698 initialised value as BN_new().
1699 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1701 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1704 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1705 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1706 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1707 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1708 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1709 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1710 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1711 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1712 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1713 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1714 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1715 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1716 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1717 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1718 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1720 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1721 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1722 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1723 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1726 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1727 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1728 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1729 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1730 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1731 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1732 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1733 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1734 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1737 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1738 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1739 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1740 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1741 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1742 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1743 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1746 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1747 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1748 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1749 these have been updated also.
1752 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1753 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1754 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1755 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1756 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1760 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1761 structure of type "other".
1764 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1765 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1766 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1767 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1768 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1769 situation in the script.
1770 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1772 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1773 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1774 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1775 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1776 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1777 used as premaster secret.
1778 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1780 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1781 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1782 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1784 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1785 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1787 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1788 control of the error stack.
1791 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1794 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1795 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1796 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1797 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1800 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1801 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1802 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1805 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1806 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1807 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1811 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1812 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1813 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1814 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1817 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1818 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1819 the following flags are defined:
1821 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1822 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1823 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1826 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1827 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1828 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1829 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1833 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1834 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1835 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1836 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1837 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1840 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1841 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1842 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1845 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1846 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1847 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1848 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1849 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1850 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1853 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1857 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1860 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1863 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1866 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1867 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1868 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1869 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1870 default implementation more easily.
1873 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1877 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1878 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1881 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1882 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1883 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1884 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1886 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1887 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1888 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1889 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1892 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1893 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1897 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1898 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1899 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1900 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1901 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1902 scalar * generator).
1903 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1905 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1906 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1907 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1911 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1912 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1913 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1914 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1915 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1916 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1917 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1918 linker additions, eg;
1919 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1922 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1923 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1924 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1927 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1928 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1929 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1933 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1934 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1935 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1936 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1939 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1940 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1941 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1942 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1943 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1944 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1945 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1946 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1947 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1948 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1950 Example for using the new callback interface:
1952 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1956 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1958 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1959 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1960 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1961 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1962 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1963 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1968 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1969 available to TLS with the number defined in
1970 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1973 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1974 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1976 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1977 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1978 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1979 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1981 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1982 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1984 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1985 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1989 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1990 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1993 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1994 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1995 and a macro that behave like
1996 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1998 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2001 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2002 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2003 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2005 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2007 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2010 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2011 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2012 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2013 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2015 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2016 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2017 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2018 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2019 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2020 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2021 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2022 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2024 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2025 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2028 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2029 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2031 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2032 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2033 files while avoiding the low level API.
2035 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2036 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2037 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2038 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2040 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2041 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2042 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2043 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2044 instead of the low level API.
2047 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2048 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2049 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2050 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2051 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2054 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2055 down to the template encoder.
2058 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2059 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2062 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2063 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2064 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2065 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2067 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2068 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2070 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2071 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2073 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2074 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2077 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2078 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2079 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2082 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2083 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2085 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2086 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2088 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2089 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2092 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2096 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2097 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2098 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2099 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2100 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2101 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2103 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2104 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2107 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2108 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2109 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2110 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2111 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2112 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2113 various internal method names.)
2115 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2116 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2118 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2119 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2121 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2122 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2124 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2125 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2126 methods are undefined.
2128 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2129 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2131 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2132 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2133 length of the modulus.
2135 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2136 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2138 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2139 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2141 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2142 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2144 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2145 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2146 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2149 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2150 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2151 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2152 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2154 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2155 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2156 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2157 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2159 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2160 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2162 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2163 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2164 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2165 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2166 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2168 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2169 This applies to the following functions:
2174 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2175 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2177 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2178 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2182 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2187 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2189 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2190 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2191 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2192 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2193 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2195 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2196 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2198 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2199 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2200 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2202 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2203 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2205 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2206 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2207 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2208 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2209 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2211 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2213 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2214 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2215 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2216 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2217 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2218 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2219 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2220 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2221 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2222 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2223 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2224 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2226 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2229 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2230 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2231 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2232 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2234 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2235 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2236 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2237 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2242 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2243 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2244 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2245 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2246 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2248 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2249 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2250 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2251 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2252 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2253 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2254 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2255 adding different types of curves.
2256 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2258 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2259 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2260 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2263 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2264 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2266 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2267 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2268 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2269 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2271 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2273 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2274 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2276 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2277 library. Most notably,
2278 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2279 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2280 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2281 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2282 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2283 extracted before the specific public key;
2284 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2285 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2287 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2288 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2290 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2291 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2292 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2293 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2295 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2296 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2297 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2299 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2300 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2301 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2302 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2303 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2304 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2308 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2310 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2311 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2312 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2313 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2314 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2315 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2316 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2317 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2318 in a different context.
2321 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2323 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2325 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2327 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2328 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2329 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2332 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2333 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2334 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2337 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2340 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2341 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2344 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2345 run algorithm test programs.
2348 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2351 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2352 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2353 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2354 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2355 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2358 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2359 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2362 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2364 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2365 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2366 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2368 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2369 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2371 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2372 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2374 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2375 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2376 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2378 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2379 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2380 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2381 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2382 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2383 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2384 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2387 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2389 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2390 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2392 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2393 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2394 undesirable limitations.
2395 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2397 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2399 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2400 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2401 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2403 The latter two were purportedly from
2404 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2407 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2408 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2409 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2412 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2413 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2416 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2418 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2419 module in FIPS mode.
2422 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2425 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2426 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2427 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2428 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2431 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2433 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2434 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2435 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2436 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2437 the difference induced by this change.
2440 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2442 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2443 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2444 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2445 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2446 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2448 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2449 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2450 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2452 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2453 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2456 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2457 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2458 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2459 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2463 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2464 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2465 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2466 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2467 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2469 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2470 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2471 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2472 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2473 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2474 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2476 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2478 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2479 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2480 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2481 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2482 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2485 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2489 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2490 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2491 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2494 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2495 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2496 structures constant.
2499 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2501 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2504 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2505 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2506 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2507 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2508 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2509 some needed definitions.
2512 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2515 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2516 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2517 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2518 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2521 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2523 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2524 server and client random values. Previously
2525 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2526 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2528 This change has negligible security impact because:
2530 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2533 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2536 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2537 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2540 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2543 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2545 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2548 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2549 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2550 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2552 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2555 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2556 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2559 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2560 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2561 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2563 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2566 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2567 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2568 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2572 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2573 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2574 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2575 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2577 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2578 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2579 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2580 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2584 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2586 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2587 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2588 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2589 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2590 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2593 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2596 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2597 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2599 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2600 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2601 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2602 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2603 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2604 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2605 rather than being initialized to 1.
2608 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2610 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2611 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2612 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2614 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2616 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2618 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2619 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2620 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2621 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2622 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2623 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2626 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2627 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2628 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2629 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2630 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2634 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2635 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2636 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2637 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2638 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2641 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2642 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2643 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2647 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2648 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2650 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2653 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2655 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2657 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2658 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2660 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2662 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2663 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2667 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2668 exiting on the first error in a request.
2671 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2672 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2676 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2677 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2678 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2679 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2681 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2682 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2685 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2686 blocks during encryption.
2689 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2690 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2691 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2692 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2696 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2697 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2698 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2699 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2700 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2704 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2706 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2707 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2708 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2709 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2712 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2713 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2714 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2715 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2716 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2718 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2719 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2720 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2721 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2722 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2723 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2724 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2725 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2726 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2729 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2730 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2731 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2732 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2735 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2736 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2739 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2741 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2742 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2743 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2744 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2745 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2747 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2748 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2749 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2751 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2752 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2753 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2754 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2755 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2757 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2758 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2759 used by default when no-err is given.
2762 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2763 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2765 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2766 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2767 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2768 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2769 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2771 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2772 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2773 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2774 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2776 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2778 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2780 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2782 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2783 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2784 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2785 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2789 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2790 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2792 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2793 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2796 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2797 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2798 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2799 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2802 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2803 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2804 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2805 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2806 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2807 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2808 followup to PR #377.
2811 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2812 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2815 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2816 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2817 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2818 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2820 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2822 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2825 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2826 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2827 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2828 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2830 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as

2835 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2839 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2840 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2841 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2842 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2843 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2844 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2846 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2847 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2848 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2849 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2850 have to be made anyway).
2853 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2854 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2855 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2858 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2859 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2860 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2863 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2864 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2865 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2867 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2868 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2869 edit numbers of the version.
2870 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2872 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2873 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2874 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2876 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2877 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2879 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2880 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2881 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2883 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2884 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2886 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2887 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2889 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2890 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2892 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2893 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2895 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2897 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2899 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2900 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2901 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2903 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2904 representations in a platform independent manner.
2905 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2907 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2908 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2909 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2911 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2913 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2915 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2916 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2918 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2920 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2922 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2923 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
2924 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2926 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2928 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2930 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2931 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2933 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2934 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2936 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
2937 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2939 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.

2942 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2944 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2946 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().

2952 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2953 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2955 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2957 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2958 the 0.9.6 release series:
2960 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2961 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2963 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2965 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2968 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2969 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2971 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2972 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2974 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2975 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2976 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2977 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2979 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2980 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2981 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2983 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2984 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2985 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2986 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2988 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2989 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2990 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2993 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2994 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2995 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2996 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2997 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2998 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2999 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3000 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3003 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3004 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3005 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3008 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3009 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3010 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3011 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3012 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3014 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3015 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3017 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3018 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3021 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3022 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3023 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3024 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3025 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3026 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3029 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3030 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3031 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3034 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3035 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3038 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3039 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3040 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3041 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3042 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3043 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3044 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3047 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3048 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3049 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3050 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3051 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3052 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3055 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3056 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3057 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3058 declaration has been changed from
3061 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3062 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3063 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3064 has been changed into
3065 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3067 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3068 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3069 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3071 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3072 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3074 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3075 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3076 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3077 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3078 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3079 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3080 always load it have also been added.
3083 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3084 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3085 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3087 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3089 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3090 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3091 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3093 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3094 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3095 command line option can be used to specify an
3099 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3100 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3103 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3104 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3105 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3108 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3109 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3110 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3111 to work with the new engine framework.
3112 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3114 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3115 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3116 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3117 to work with the new engine framework.
3120 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3121 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3122 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3124 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3125 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3127 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3128 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3129 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3130 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3132 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3134 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3135 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3137 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3138 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3140 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3141 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3142 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3145 *) Add new functions
3147 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3148 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3149 These are similar to
3152 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3153 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3154 still in the error queue.
3155 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3157 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3159 default_algorithms = ALL
3160 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3163 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3166 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3169 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3170 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3171 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3172 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3174 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3175 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3177 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3178 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3180 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3181 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3184 *) New functions/macros
3186 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3187 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3188 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3189 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3191 to request calling a callback function
3193 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3194 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3196 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3197 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3198 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3199 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3200 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3201 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3202 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3203 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3204 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3205 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3207 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3208 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3211 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3212 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3213 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3214 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3215 the configuration scripts.
3217 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3218 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3219 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3221 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3222 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3224 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3225 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3226 when reusing an existing buffer.
3229 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3230 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3233 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3234 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3237 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3238 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3239 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3240 has the same effect.
3241 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3243 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3244 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3245 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3246 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3247 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3248 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3251 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3252 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3253 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3254 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3256 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3257 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3258 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3259 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3261 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3262 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3265 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3266 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3267 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3268 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3269 default), and then completely removed.
3272 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3273 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3274 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3275 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3276 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3277 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3278 particular extension is supported.
3281 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3282 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3285 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3286 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3287 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3288 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3289 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3290 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3291 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3292 requires the destination to be valid.
3294 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3295 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3298 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3299 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3300 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3303 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3304 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3306 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3307 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3308 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3309 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3310 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3311 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3312 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3313 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3314 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3315 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3316 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3317 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3318 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3319 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3320 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3321 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3322 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3323 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3324 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3328 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3331 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3332 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3333 become part of libeay.num as well.
3336 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3337 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3338 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3339 false once a handshake has been completed.
3340 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3341 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3342 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3343 client has followed the request.)
3346 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3347 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3348 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3349 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3351 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3352 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3353 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3356 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3359 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3360 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3361 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3364 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3365 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3368 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3369 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3370 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3371 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3374 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3375 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3376 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3377 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3378 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3379 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3382 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3383 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3384 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3385 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3386 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3387 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3388 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3389 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3392 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3393 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3396 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3399 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3400 md_data void pointer.
3403 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3404 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3405 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3406 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3407 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3408 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3411 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3412 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3413 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3414 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3415 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3416 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3417 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3418 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3419 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3420 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3421 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3422 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3423 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3424 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3425 rather than letting it slide.
3427 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3428 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3429 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3432 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3433 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3434 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3435 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3436 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3437 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3438 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3439 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3440 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3443 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3444 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3445 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3446 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3447 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3449 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3452 *) Add EVP test program.
3455 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3458 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3459 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3460 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3461 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3462 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3465 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3466 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3467 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3468 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3469 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3470 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3471 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3473 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3474 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3475 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3480 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3481 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3482 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3483 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3484 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3488 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3489 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3490 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3491 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3494 des_key_schedule ks;
3496 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3497 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3499 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3502 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3503 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3504 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3505 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3506 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3507 functions prevents this.
3510 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3513 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3514 correct _ecb suffix.
3517 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3518 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3519 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3520 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3521 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3524 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3527 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3528 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3529 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3530 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3532 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3533 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3535 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.

3537 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3538 via Richard Levitte]
3540 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3541 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3542 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3543 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3546 *) Speed up EVP routines.

3567 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3568 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3569 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3570 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3571 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3572 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3575 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3576 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3579 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3580 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3581 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3582 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3584 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3585 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3586 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3587 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3588 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3589 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3593 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3594 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3595 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3596 and interrupts/cancellations.
3599 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3600 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3603 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3604 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3605 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3607 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3608 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3612 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3613 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3614 than this minimum value is recommended.
3617 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3618 that are easily reachable.
3621 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3622 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3624 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3626 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3627 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3628 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3629 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3632 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3633 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3634 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3637 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3638 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3639 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3640 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3641 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3642 internally such as S/MIME.
3644 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3645 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3646 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3648 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3652 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3653 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3654 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3655 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3657 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3659 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3661 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3662 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3663 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3667 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3668 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3669 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3670 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3671 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3672 a window system and the like.
3675 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3676 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3679 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3680 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3681 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3682 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3683 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3684 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3685 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3686 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3687 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3691 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3692 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3696 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3697 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3698 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3699 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3700 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3701 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3702 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3703 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3706 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3707 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3708 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3709 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3710 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3711 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3712 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3713 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3714 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3715 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3716 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3717 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3718 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3719 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3720 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3721 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3722 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3725 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3726 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3727 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3728 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3729 internal engine_int.h header.
3732 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3733 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3734 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3735 modify their own ones).
3738 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3739 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3740 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3741 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3742 later on via ctrl() commands.
3743 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3744 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3745 structural references.
3746 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3747 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3748 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3749 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3750 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3751 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3752 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3753 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3754 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3755 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3756 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3757 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3760 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3761 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3762 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3763 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3764 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3765 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3766 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3767 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3770 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3771 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3774 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3775 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3778 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3779 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3780 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3781 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3782 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3783 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3784 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3787 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3788 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3789 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3790 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3791 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3793 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3794 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3798 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3800 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3801 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3802 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3804 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3805 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3807 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3808 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3809 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3811 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3812 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3814 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3815 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3817 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3819 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3820 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3821 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3824 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3825 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3828 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3829 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3830 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3831 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3832 is 40 of more characters long.
3835 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3836 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3840 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3841 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3844 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3845 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3849 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3851 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3852 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3855 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3857 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3858 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3859 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3861 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3862 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3864 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3867 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3871 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3872 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3873 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3874 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3876 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3878 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3879 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3881 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3882 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3883 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3884 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3885 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3886 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3888 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3889 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3891 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3892 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3894 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3895 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3897 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3898 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3899 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3900 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3902 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3903 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3905 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3906 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3908 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3909 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3910 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3911 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3912 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3915 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3916 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3917 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3918 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3921 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3922 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3923 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3927 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3928 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3929 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3930 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3931 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3932 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3933 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3934 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3938 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3939 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3942 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3943 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3944 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3945 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3948 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3949 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3950 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3951 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3952 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3953 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3954 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3955 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3956 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3957 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3960 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3961 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3962 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3963 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3964 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3965 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3966 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3967 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3969 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3970 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3971 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3972 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3975 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3976 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3977 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3978 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3980 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3981 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3982 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3983 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3984 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3988 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3989 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3990 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3991 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3995 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3996 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3997 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4000 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4001 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4002 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4003 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4004 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4007 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4010 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4011 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4012 option to ocsp utility.
4015 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4016 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4017 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4018 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4019 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4020 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4021 the request is nonce-less.
4024 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4025 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4026 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4029 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4030 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4031 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4034 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4035 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4036 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4037 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4038 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4041 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4042 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4046 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4047 additional certificates supplied.
4050 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4051 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4055 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4056 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4059 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4060 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4061 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4062 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4063 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4064 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4065 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4066 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4067 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4069 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4070 request to response.
4073 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4074 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4075 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4076 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4077 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4078 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4079 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4080 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4081 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4082 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4083 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4086 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4087 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4088 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4089 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4092 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4093 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4095 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4096 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4097 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4100 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4101 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4102 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4103 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4104 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4106 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4107 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4108 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4111 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4112 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4113 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4114 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4115 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4116 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4117 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4118 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4120 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4121 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4122 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4123 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4124 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4125 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4128 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4129 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4130 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4131 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4132 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4133 printout format cleaned up.
4136 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4137 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4138 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4139 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4140 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4141 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4142 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4143 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4146 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4147 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4148 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4149 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4150 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4151 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4152 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4153 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4156 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4157 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4158 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4159 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4161 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4163 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4164 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4165 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4166 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4169 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4170 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4171 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4172 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4174 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4176 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4177 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4178 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4179 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4181 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4182 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4184 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4185 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4186 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4189 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4190 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4191 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4194 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4195 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4196 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4197 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4198 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4199 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4200 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4201 functions are provided:
4203 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4204 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4205 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4206 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4208 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4209 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4210 extended allocation function is enabled.
4211 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4212 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4213 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4215 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4216 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4217 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4218 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4219 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4222 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4223 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4224 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4226 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4227 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4228 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4231 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4232 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4233 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4234 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4235 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4236 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4237 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4238 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4239 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4242 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4243 provide utility functions which an application needing
4244 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4245 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4246 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4248 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4249 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4250 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4251 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4252 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4253 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4254 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4255 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4256 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4258 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4259 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4260 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4261 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4264 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4265 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4266 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4267 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4268 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4269 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4270 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4271 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4272 will be added elsewhere.
4275 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4276 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4277 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4278 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4281 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4282 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4283 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4284 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4285 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4286 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4287 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4288 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4289 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4290 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4291 to produce the required SET OF.
4294 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4295 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4296 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4299 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4300 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4301 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4302 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4303 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4304 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4307 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4308 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4309 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4312 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4313 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4314 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4317 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4318 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4319 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4320 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4321 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4324 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4325 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4328 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4329 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4330 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4331 certifcates and CRLs.
4334 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4335 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4336 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4339 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4340 entries for variables.
4343 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4344 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4345 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4346 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4349 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4350 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4351 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4352 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4353 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4354 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4357 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4358 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4360 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4361 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4362 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4365 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4369 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4370 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4371 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4372 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4373 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4374 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4377 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4380 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4381 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4382 for now but they will eventually go away.
4385 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4386 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4387 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4388 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4389 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4390 has also been converted to the new form.
4393 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4394 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4395 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4396 for negative moduli.
4399 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4400 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4403 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4407 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4408 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4409 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4410 type-specific callbacks.
4413 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4415 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4416 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4418 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4419 in sections depending on the subject.
4422 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4426 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4427 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4428 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4429 be handled deterministically).
4430 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4432 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4433 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4434 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4437 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4440 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4441 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4442 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4443 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4444 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4447 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4448 sign of the number in question.
4450 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4452 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4453 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4454 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4455 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4456 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4459 *) New function BN_swap.
4462 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4463 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4464 results on negative inputs.
4467 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4468 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4469 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4472 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4473 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4474 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4475 and add new functions:
4484 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4488 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4490 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4491 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4493 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4494 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4495 be reduced modulo m.
4496 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4499 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4500 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4501 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4503 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4504 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4505 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4506 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4507 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4508 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4513 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4514 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4515 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4516 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4517 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4519 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4520 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4521 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4525 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4528 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4529 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4532 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4533 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4534 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4535 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4539 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4542 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4545 *) Add the following functions:
4547 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4549 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4551 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4553 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4554 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4555 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4556 libraries unless it's really needed.
4558 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4559 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4560 declarations (they differed!).
4563 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4566 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4569 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4572 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4573 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4576 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4577 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4578 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4580 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4581 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4584 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4587 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4590 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4593 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4594 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4595 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4597 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4598 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4599 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4600 different shared library filenames on each system.
4603 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4606 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4607 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4608 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4610 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4613 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4614 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4615 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4616 binary backward compatibility.
4617 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4618 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4619 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4623 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4624 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4625 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4626 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4630 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4633 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4634 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4635 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4636 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4640 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4643 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4645 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4646 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4647 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4649 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4651 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4653 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4654 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4657 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4659 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4661 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4662 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4664 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4665 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4669 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4670 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4674 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4675 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4676 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4677 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4679 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4680 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4683 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4685 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4686 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4687 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4688 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4691 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4692 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4693 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4694 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4695 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4697 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4698 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4699 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4700 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4701 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4702 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4703 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4704 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4705 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4708 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4710 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4711 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4712 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4713 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4714 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4716 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4717 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4718 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4720 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4722 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4723 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4724 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4725 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4726 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4727 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4730 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4731 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4732 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4733 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4734 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4737 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4738 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4739 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4741 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4742 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4743 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4747 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4748 being properly terminated.
4751 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4752 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4753 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4754 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4756 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4757 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4758 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4759 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4760 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4761 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4762 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4764 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4766 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4767 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4770 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4771 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4772 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),

4776 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4777 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4779 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4780 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4781 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4782 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4783 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4785 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4786 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4789 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4791 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4792 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4793 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4795 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4797 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4798 and get fix the header length calculation.
4799 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4800 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4803 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4804 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4805 assertions could call abort()).
4806 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4808 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4810 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4811 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4812 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4814 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4816 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4817 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4818 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4821 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4825 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4826 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4827 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4829 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4830 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4831 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4832 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4833 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4837 *) Changes in security patch:
4839 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4840 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4841 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4844 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4845 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4846 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4847 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4848 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4850 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4852 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4854 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4855 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4856 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4858 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4859 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4860 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4862 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4863 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4864 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4866 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4868 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4869 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4870 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4872 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4873 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4875 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
4876 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
4877 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
4878 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
4879 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
4880 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
4883 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
4884 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
4885 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
4886 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
4889 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
4892 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
4893 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
4894 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
4895 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
4896 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
4897 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
4899 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
4900 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
4901 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
4902 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
4903 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
4906 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
4907 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
4908 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
4909 BN_generate_prime().)
4911 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
4912 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
4913 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
4917 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
4918 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
4921 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
4922 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
4923 when using non-blocking I/O.
4924 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
4926 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
4927 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
4929 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
4930 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
4933 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
4934 configuration for the versions before that.
4935 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
4937 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
4938 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
4939 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
4940 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
4943 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
4944 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
4945 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
4948 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
4952 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
4953 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4954 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4956 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
4957 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
4959 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
4960 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
4961 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
4962 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
4963 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
4964 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
4965 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
4968 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
4969 using a local variable.
4970 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4972 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
4973 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
4974 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4976 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
4979 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
4980 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
4982 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
4983 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
4984 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
4986 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
4988 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
4989 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
4990 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
4991 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
4994 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
4998 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
4999 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5000 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5001 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5002 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5004 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5005 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5006 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5008 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5009 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5010 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5012 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5013 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5014 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5015 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5017 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5018 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5019 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5021 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5023 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5024 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5026 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5028 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5029 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5030 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5031 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5033 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5034 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5035 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5036 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5038 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5039 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5041 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5042 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5043 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5046 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5047 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5048 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5050 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5052 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5053 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5054 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5055 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5056 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5057 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5058 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5061 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5062 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5063 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5064 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5066 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5067 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5068 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5069 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5070 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5071 the client will at least see that alert.
5074 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5078 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5079 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5080 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5082 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5083 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5084 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5085 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5088 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5089 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5090 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5092 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5093 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5094 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5095 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5096 may leak via logfiles.)
5098 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5099 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5100 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5101 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5105 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5106 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5109 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5110 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5111 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5112 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5113 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5116 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5117 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5119 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5120 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5121 followed by modular reduction.
5122 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5124 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5125 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5128 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5129 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5130 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5131 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5134 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5137 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5138 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5141 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5142 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5143 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5144 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5145 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5146 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5148 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5150 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5151 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5152 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5153 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5154 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5156 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5159 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5160 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5161 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5162 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5163 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5164 to allow the necessary settings.
5167 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5168 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5169 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5170 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5173 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5174 dh->length and always used
5176 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5178 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5179 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5180 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5181 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5182 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5187 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5189 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5195 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5196 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5197 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5198 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5200 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5201 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5202 always reject numbers >= n.
5205 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5206 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5207 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5208 variable) is not atomic.
5211 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5212 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5213 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5214 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5216 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5217 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5219 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5221 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5223 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5226 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5228 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5229 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5230 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5231 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5232 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5233 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5234 to traverse all of 'state'.
5236 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5237 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5238 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5240 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5241 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5243 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5244 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5245 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5246 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5247 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5248 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5249 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5250 further strengthens the PRNG.
5253 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5256 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5257 an error message in this case.
5260 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5263 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5264 positive and less than q.
5267 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5268 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5270 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5272 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5273 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5277 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5279 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5280 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5281 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5282 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5283 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5284 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5285 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5288 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5289 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5290 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5291 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5293 Both problems are now fixed.
5296 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5297 (previously it was 1024).
5300 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5301 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5304 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5307 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5308 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5309 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5312 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5313 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5314 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5315 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5316 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5317 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5318 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5319 environment variables.
5321 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5322 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5323 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5326 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5327 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5328 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5329 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5330 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5331 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5334 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5338 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5340 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5341 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5343 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5344 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5345 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5346 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5350 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5351 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5352 amount of data available.
5353 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5354 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5356 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5357 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5358 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5359 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5362 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5363 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5367 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5368 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5369 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5370 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5373 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5376 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5379 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5380 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5382 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5384 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5385 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5386 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5387 (but broken) behaviour.
5390 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5392 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5394 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5395 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5398 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5402 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5403 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5405 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5408 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5409 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5410 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5412 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5413 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5414 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5417 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5418 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5421 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5422 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5424 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5426 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5428 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5429 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5430 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5431 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5434 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5437 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5438 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5439 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5441 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5444 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5446 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5447 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5448 but the code is actually correct.
5451 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5452 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5453 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5454 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5455 and leaves the highest bit random.
5456 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5458 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5459 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5460 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5461 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5462 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5463 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5464 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5467 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5470 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5471 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5474 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5475 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5476 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5477 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5481 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5482 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5483 and break the signature.
5485 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5487 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5491 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5492 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5493 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5494 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5495 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5498 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5499 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5501 *) ./config script fixes.
5502 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5504 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5507 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5508 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5509 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5510 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5511 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5513 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5514 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5517 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5518 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5521 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5522 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5523 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5524 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5526 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5527 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5529 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5530 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5531 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5532 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5533 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5535 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5538 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5541 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5544 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5547 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5548 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5551 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5552 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5553 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5554 result of the server certificate verification.)
5557 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5558 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5559 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5563 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5564 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5565 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5566 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5567 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5568 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5569 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5570 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5573 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5574 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5575 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5576 happening the other way round.
5579 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5580 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5583 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5584 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5585 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5586 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5589 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5590 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5592 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5594 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5595 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5596 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5599 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5601 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5603 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5607 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5609 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5610 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5611 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5612 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5613 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5615 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5616 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5620 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5623 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5625 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5626 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5627 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5628 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5629 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5630 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5631 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5632 by the Finished messages.
5635 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5636 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5638 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5639 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5640 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5641 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5642 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5646 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5647 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5648 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5649 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5650 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5651 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5652 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5653 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5654 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5658 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5659 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5660 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5661 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5663 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5664 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5665 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5666 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5667 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5670 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5671 been tested well enough.
5674 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5675 it can return incorrect results.
5676 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5677 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5680 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5681 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5682 include zero length content when signing messages.
5685 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5686 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5689 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5692 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5696 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5697 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5698 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5699 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5700 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5701 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5704 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5705 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5707 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5708 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5710 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5711 random number < q in the DSA library.
5714 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5715 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5716 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5717 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5718 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5719 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5720 just makes things more complicated.)
5723 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5727 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5728 work better on such systems.
5729 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5731 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5732 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5733 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5736 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5737 if there was more than one signature.
5738 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5740 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5741 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5742 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5743 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5746 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5747 rather than always using the current time.
5750 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5751 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5752 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5753 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5754 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5755 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5757 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5758 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5760 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5762 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5763 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5764 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5765 the same hash value.
5767 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5768 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5769 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5770 with X509_STORE internally.
5772 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5773 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5775 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5776 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5777 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5778 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5779 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5780 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5781 entirely (maybe later...).
5783 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5785 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5786 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5787 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5788 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5789 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5790 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5791 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5792 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5794 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5795 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5797 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5798 to customise the verify behaviour.
5801 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5802 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5805 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5806 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5807 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5808 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5809 request is improperly encoded.
5812 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5813 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5816 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5817 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5819 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5820 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5824 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5825 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5826 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5829 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5830 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5831 BIO/fp routines also added.
5834 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5835 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5837 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5838 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5839 demos/state_machine.
5842 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5843 generation and verification.
5846 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5847 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5848 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5849 encode and decode it manually.
5852 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5854 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5856 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5857 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5858 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5859 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5861 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5862 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5863 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5864 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5865 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5868 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5871 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5872 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5873 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5875 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
5876 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
5877 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
5878 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
5879 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
5880 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
5881 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
5882 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
5884 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
5885 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
5887 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
5889 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
5890 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
5891 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
5895 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
5896 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
5897 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
5898 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
5902 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
5904 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
5907 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
5908 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
5909 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
5910 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
5911 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
5912 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
5913 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
5914 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
5915 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
5916 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
5917 short or long names are found.
5920 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
5921 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
5923 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
5924 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
5925 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
5926 version rollback attacks was not effective.
5928 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
5929 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
5930 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
5931 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
5934 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
5935 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
5936 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
5939 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
5940 these print out strings and name structures based on various
5941 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
5942 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
5943 to allow the various flags to be set.
5946 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
5947 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
5948 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
5949 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
5950 dates to be checked.
5953 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
5954 negative public key encodings) on by default,
5955 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
5958 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
5959 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
5960 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
5963 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
5964 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
5967 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
5968 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
5969 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
5970 are always statically linked for now, but there are
5971 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
5972 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
5975 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
5976 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
5980 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
5984 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
5985 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
5986 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
5987 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
5988 form signing output easier to verify.
5991 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
5994 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
5995 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
5996 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
5997 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
5998 are needed because all other string types have virtually
5999 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6000 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6001 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6002 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6003 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6006 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6008 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6009 the syntax given in objects.README.
6010 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6012 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6015 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6016 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6017 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6018 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6019 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6020 consistent name changes.
6023 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6026 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6027 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6028 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6029 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6032 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6033 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6034 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6038 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6039 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6040 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6041 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6044 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6045 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6046 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6047 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6048 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6049 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6050 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6051 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6052 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6053 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6054 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6057 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6058 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6059 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6060 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6061 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6062 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6063 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6064 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6065 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6066 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6069 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6070 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6071 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6072 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6074 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6075 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6076 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6077 omit any duplicate addresses.
6080 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6081 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6084 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6085 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6086 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6087 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6088 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6091 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6093 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6094 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6095 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6096 Free => OPENSSL_free
6099 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6100 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6103 *) CygWin32 support.
6104 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6106 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6107 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6108 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6109 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6110 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6114 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6115 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6116 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6117 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6118 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6119 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6120 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6123 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6124 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6125 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6126 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6127 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6128 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6129 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6130 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6131 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6132 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6133 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6136 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6137 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6138 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6139 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6140 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6142 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6143 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6144 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6145 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6146 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6148 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6151 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6152 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6153 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6154 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6156 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6158 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6161 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6162 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6163 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6166 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6167 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6168 any installed hardware versions can.
6171 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6172 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6173 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6177 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6178 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6179 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6180 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6181 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6183 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6184 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6187 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6188 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6191 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6192 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6193 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6197 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6200 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6201 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6202 but no ssl client purpose.
6203 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6205 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6206 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6207 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6208 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6209 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6210 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6211 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6212 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6213 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6214 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6215 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6218 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6219 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6220 be obtained from the error queue.
6223 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6224 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6225 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6226 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6229 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6232 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6233 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6234 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6235 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6236 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6239 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6240 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6241 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6242 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6243 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6246 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6247 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6248 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6250 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6252 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6253 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6254 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6255 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6256 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6257 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6258 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6259 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6260 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6261 or "the configuration storage API"...
6263 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6265 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6266 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6268 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6270 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6272 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6273 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6274 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6275 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6276 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6277 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6278 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6280 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6281 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6284 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6285 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6286 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6287 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6290 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6291 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6292 them in a portable way.
6293 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6295 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6297 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6299 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6300 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6302 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6303 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6304 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6307 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6308 was larger than the MD block size.
6309 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6311 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6312 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6313 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6314 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6318 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6319 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6320 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6322 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6324 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6326 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6327 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6328 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6329 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6330 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6331 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6333 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6334 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6336 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6337 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6340 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6343 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6344 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6346 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6347 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6348 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6349 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6352 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6353 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6354 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6355 does not suppress any output.
6358 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6359 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6360 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6361 with all the associated security issues.
6363 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6364 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6365 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6366 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6367 use the value in the default purpose.
6370 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6371 and fix a memory leak.
6374 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6375 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6376 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6377 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6380 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6381 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6382 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6383 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6386 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6387 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6388 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6391 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6392 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6395 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6396 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6400 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6401 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6404 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6405 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6406 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6409 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6410 number generation fails.
6413 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6416 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6417 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6419 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6422 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6423 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6425 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6426 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6428 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6430 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6431 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6434 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6435 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6437 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6438 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6441 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6442 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6443 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6444 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6445 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6446 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6448 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6449 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6450 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6454 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6455 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6456 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6457 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6458 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6459 counter, some don't.)
6460 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6461 counters or duplicate objects.
6464 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6465 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6468 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6469 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6470 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6472 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6473 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6474 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6478 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6479 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6482 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6483 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6484 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6488 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6489 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6490 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6493 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6494 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6495 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6496 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6497 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6498 should work without changes.
6501 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6502 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6503 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6504 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6505 must be defined. E.g.,
6506 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6507 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6508 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6509 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6511 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6515 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6516 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6517 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6520 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6521 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6522 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6523 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6526 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6527 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6528 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6529 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6530 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6531 is prompted for as usual.
6534 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6535 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6536 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6537 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6539 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6540 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6541 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6542 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6545 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6548 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6552 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6555 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6558 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6562 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6565 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6568 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6569 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6572 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6573 options to produce them.
6576 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6577 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6580 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6584 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6585 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6586 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6587 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6588 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6589 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6590 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6593 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6596 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6597 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6598 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6601 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6602 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6604 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6605 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6608 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6609 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6610 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6614 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6615 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6617 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6618 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6619 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6620 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6621 generation becomes much faster.
6623 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6624 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6625 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6626 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6627 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6628 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6629 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6630 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6631 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6632 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6635 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6636 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6637 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6638 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6639 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6640 trial division stage.
6643 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6647 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6650 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6653 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6654 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6655 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6659 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6660 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6661 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6664 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6665 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6666 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6667 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6669 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6670 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6673 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6676 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6677 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6678 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6679 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6682 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6683 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6684 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6687 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6688 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6689 (instead of parameters) in future.
6692 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6693 when a new cipher list is set.
6696 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6697 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6700 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6701 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6702 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6704 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6705 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6706 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6707 an error is flagged.
6709 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6710 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6711 the readability was also increased :-)
6712 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6714 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6715 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6716 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6717 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6721 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6722 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6725 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6726 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6727 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6728 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6731 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6732 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6733 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6734 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6735 because they handle more complex structures.)
6738 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6739 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6740 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6741 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6743 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6744 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6745 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6746 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6747 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6748 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6749 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6752 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6753 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6754 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6755 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6756 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6759 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6762 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6763 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6764 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6765 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6766 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6769 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6773 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6774 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6775 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6776 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6779 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6782 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6783 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6784 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6785 international characters are used.
6787 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6788 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6789 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6793 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6794 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6795 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6798 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6799 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6800 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6801 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6802 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6803 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6805 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6806 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6807 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6808 be handled by the string table functions.
6810 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6811 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6812 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6813 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6814 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6818 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6819 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6820 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6821 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6822 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6824 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6825 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6826 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6827 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6830 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6831 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6832 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6833 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6834 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6838 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6839 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6840 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6841 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6842 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6843 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6844 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6845 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6847 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6848 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6849 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6852 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6853 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6854 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6855 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6856 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6857 support to pkcs8 application.
6860 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6861 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6862 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6863 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6864 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6865 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6868 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6869 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6870 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6871 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6872 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
6876 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
6877 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
6878 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
6879 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
6883 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
6884 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
6885 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
6886 and any application specific purposes.
6888 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
6889 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
6890 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
6891 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
6892 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
6893 if the certificate is self signed.
6896 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
6897 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
6900 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
6901 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
6902 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
6903 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
6906 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
6907 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
6908 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
6909 Update documentation.
6912 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
6913 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
6914 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
6915 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
6916 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
6919 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
6921 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
6923 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
6924 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
6925 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
6926 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
6927 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
6928 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
6929 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
6930 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
6931 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
6932 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
6934 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
6936 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6937 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
6938 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
6939 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
6940 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
6942 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
6943 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
6944 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
6945 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
6946 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
6947 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
6948 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
6949 request additional information:
6950 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
6951 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
6953 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
6954 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
6955 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
6958 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
6959 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
6962 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
6965 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
6966 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
6968 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
6969 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
6970 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
6974 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
6975 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
6976 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
6978 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
6979 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
6980 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
6981 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
6982 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
6983 included in OpenSSL.
6986 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
6987 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
6988 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
6989 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
6990 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
6991 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
6994 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
6998 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
6999 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7000 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7001 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7002 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7006 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7010 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7011 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7012 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7013 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7014 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7015 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7016 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7017 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7018 be maintained manually.
7020 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7021 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7022 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7023 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7024 work because people forget to call this function]
7025 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7026 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7027 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7030 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7031 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7032 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7033 should be discouraged from doing it.
7036 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7037 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7038 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7039 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7040 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7041 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7044 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7045 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7046 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7048 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7049 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7050 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7052 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7053 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7054 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7055 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7056 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7057 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7059 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7060 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7061 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7063 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7064 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7067 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7068 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7069 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7070 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7073 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7076 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7077 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7078 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7079 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7080 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7081 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7082 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7083 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7084 keys so we should be OK.
7086 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7087 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7088 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7089 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7090 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7091 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7092 stay in the name of compatibility.
7094 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7095 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7096 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7098 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7099 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7100 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7101 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7102 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7103 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7107 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7108 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7109 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7110 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7111 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7112 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7113 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7114 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7115 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7116 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7117 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7118 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7119 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7122 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7125 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7126 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7127 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7128 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7129 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7130 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7131 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7132 openssl verify ss.pem
7133 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7134 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7138 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7139 (and add it to external session representation).
7140 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7141 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7142 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7143 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7144 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7145 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7147 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7149 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7150 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7151 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7152 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7154 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7155 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7156 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7159 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7160 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7161 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7165 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7166 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7167 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7169 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7170 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7171 certificate auxiliary information.
7174 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7178 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7179 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7180 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7181 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7182 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7183 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7184 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7187 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7188 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7191 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7192 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7193 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7194 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7197 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7200 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7201 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7204 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7205 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7206 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7207 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7208 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7209 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7210 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7211 using the new 'x509' options.
7213 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7214 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7215 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7216 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7220 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7221 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7222 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7223 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7224 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7227 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7228 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7229 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7230 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7231 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7232 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7233 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7234 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7235 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7236 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7239 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7240 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7241 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7242 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7243 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7244 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7245 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7248 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7249 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7250 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7251 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7252 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7253 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7254 openssl.cnf for more info.
7257 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7258 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7259 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7260 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7261 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7262 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7263 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7264 md should be large enough anyway.
7267 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7268 for handling the random seed file.
7270 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7272 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7275 x509 (when signing).
7276 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7277 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7278 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7280 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7281 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7282 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7283 that support '-rand'.
7286 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7287 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7290 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7291 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7294 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7295 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7296 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7297 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7301 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7302 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7303 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7304 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7307 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7308 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7309 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7310 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7311 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7312 print out all the purposes.
7315 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7319 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7320 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7321 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7322 single function call.
7325 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7326 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7329 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7330 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7331 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7334 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7335 when producing the local key id.
7336 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7338 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7339 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7340 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7344 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7345 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7346 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7347 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7350 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7351 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7352 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7353 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7355 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7356 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7357 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7358 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7360 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7361 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7362 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7363 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7364 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7365 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7366 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7367 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7368 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7369 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7370 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7371 trivial: move one line.
7372 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7374 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7375 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7376 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7377 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7378 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7379 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7380 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7381 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7382 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7383 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7384 with an event loop for example.
7387 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7388 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7389 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7390 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7391 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7392 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7393 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7394 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7395 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7398 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7399 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7400 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7401 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7402 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7403 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7406 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7407 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7408 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7409 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7411 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7412 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7413 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7414 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7418 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7419 (still largely untested)
7422 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7423 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7426 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7427 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7430 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7431 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7432 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7435 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7436 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7437 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7438 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7439 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7442 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7445 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7446 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7447 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7448 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7449 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7453 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7454 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7457 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7460 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7461 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7462 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7463 are otherwise ignored at present.
7466 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7467 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7468 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7469 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7470 copied until the next read.
7473 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7474 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7475 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7478 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7479 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7480 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7481 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7482 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7483 associated functions.
7486 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7487 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7488 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7489 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7490 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7491 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7492 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7493 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7494 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7498 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7499 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7500 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7501 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7504 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7505 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7506 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7507 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7508 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7512 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7513 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7517 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7518 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7519 extensions to be obtained and added.
7522 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7523 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7526 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7528 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7529 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7531 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7532 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7534 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7538 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7539 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7540 DH parameters contain its length).
7542 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7543 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7544 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7545 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7546 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7547 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7548 utter importance to use
7549 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7551 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7552 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7553 attacks may become possible!
7556 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7559 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7560 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7563 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7564 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7565 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7569 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7570 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7571 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7572 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7573 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7574 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7575 private key operations.
7578 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7581 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7582 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7584 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7585 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7586 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7587 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7588 the password callback is called.
7589 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7591 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7593 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7594 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7595 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7596 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7597 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7598 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7601 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7602 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7603 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7604 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7605 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7606 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7609 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7612 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7613 delete an unused file.
7616 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7617 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7618 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7619 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7622 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7623 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7624 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7628 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7629 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7630 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7632 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7633 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7634 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7635 comparison" warnings.
7636 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7639 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7640 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7641 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7644 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7645 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7647 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7648 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7650 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7651 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7652 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7654 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7655 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7656 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7657 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7658 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7660 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7662 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7663 The interface is as follows:
7664 Applications can use
7665 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7666 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7667 "off" is now the default.
7668 The library internally uses
7669 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7670 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7671 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7673 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7674 even the default) are now avoided.
7676 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7677 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7678 than just having a counter.
7680 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7682 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7686 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7687 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7688 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7689 Initial "mode" flags are:
7691 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7692 a single record has been written.
7693 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7694 retries use the same buffer location.
7695 (But all of the contents must be
7699 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7702 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7703 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7705 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7706 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7707 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7710 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7711 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7713 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7715 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7716 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7717 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7718 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7720 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7721 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7723 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7724 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7725 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7726 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7727 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7728 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7731 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7732 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7733 necessary function names.
7736 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7737 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7738 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7739 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7742 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7743 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7744 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7747 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7748 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7749 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7750 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7752 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7756 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7757 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7758 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7761 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7762 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7766 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7767 for the encoded length.
7768 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7770 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7773 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7774 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7775 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7776 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7779 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7780 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7781 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7783 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7784 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7785 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7789 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7790 to use the new extension code.
7793 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7794 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7795 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7799 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7800 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7801 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7805 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7808 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7809 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7810 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7813 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7814 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7815 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7816 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7819 *) DES library cleanups.
7822 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7823 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7824 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7825 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7826 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7830 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7831 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7834 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7835 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7836 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7837 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7838 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7839 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7840 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7841 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7842 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7845 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7846 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7847 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7848 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7849 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7850 value doesn't matter.
7853 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7857 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7858 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7859 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7860 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7862 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7865 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7866 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7867 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7869 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7870 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7872 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7875 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
7878 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
7881 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
7885 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
7887 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
7889 *) Updated some demos.
7890 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
7892 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
7895 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
7898 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
7901 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
7902 instead of using a fixed path.
7905 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
7908 *) Improvements for VMS support.
7912 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
7914 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
7915 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
7916 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7918 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
7919 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
7920 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
7921 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
7922 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
7923 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
7924 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
7925 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
7926 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
7927 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
7930 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
7931 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
7934 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
7935 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
7936 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
7937 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
7938 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
7940 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
7943 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
7944 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
7945 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
7948 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
7951 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
7952 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
7953 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
7954 key elements as negative integers.
7957 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
7958 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
7961 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
7963 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
7964 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
7965 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
7968 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
7969 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
7970 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
7971 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
7972 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
7975 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
7978 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
7979 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
7980 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
7981 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7983 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
7984 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
7985 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
7987 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
7988 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
7989 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
7990 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
7991 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
7992 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
7993 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
7994 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
7995 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
7997 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
7998 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
7999 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8000 does not influence s as it used to.
8002 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8003 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8004 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8005 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8006 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8007 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8010 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8011 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8012 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8016 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8017 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8018 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8022 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8023 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8024 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8028 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8029 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8032 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8033 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8038 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8039 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8041 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8042 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8044 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8047 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8050 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8051 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8053 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8054 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8055 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8059 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8060 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8061 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8062 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8063 now it really counts the depth.
8066 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8067 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8068 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8069 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8070 didn't match the private key).
8072 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8073 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8074 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8077 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8080 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8084 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8085 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8086 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8089 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8092 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8093 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8094 such as /usr/local/bin.
8097 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8098 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8100 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8103 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8104 extension adding in x509 utility.
8107 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8110 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8114 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8117 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8118 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8119 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8120 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8121 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8122 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8123 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8124 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8125 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8126 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8129 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8132 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8133 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8136 *) Fix some race conditions.
8139 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8140 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8143 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8146 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8147 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8148 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8149 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8151 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8152 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8154 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8155 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8156 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8158 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8159 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8161 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8164 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8165 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8167 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8170 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8171 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8173 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8174 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8177 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8178 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8181 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8182 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8185 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8186 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8189 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8190 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8193 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8194 support typesafe stack.
8197 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8198 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8200 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8201 old X509V3 handling code.
8204 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8207 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8210 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8213 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8214 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8216 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8217 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8218 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8219 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8220 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8223 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8224 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8225 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8226 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8227 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8229 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8230 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8231 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8232 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8234 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8235 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8236 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8237 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8239 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8240 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8241 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8242 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8243 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8244 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8247 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8248 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8251 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8252 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8255 *) Tweaks to Configure
8256 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8258 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8262 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8265 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8266 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8269 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8270 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8271 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8274 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8277 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8278 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8281 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8282 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8283 to library startup routines.
8286 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8287 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8288 codes along the way.
8291 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8292 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8293 objects to objects.h
8296 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8297 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8300 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8301 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8303 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8304 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8305 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8307 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8308 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8309 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8311 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8312 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8313 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8316 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8318 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8319 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8322 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8323 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8324 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8325 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8326 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8328 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8329 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8330 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8332 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8334 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8336 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8338 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8339 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8341 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8342 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8343 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8344 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8346 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8349 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8350 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8351 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8352 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8355 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8356 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8357 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8360 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8361 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8362 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8363 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8364 installed as `perl').
8365 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8367 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8368 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8370 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8371 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8372 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8373 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8374 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8377 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8380 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8381 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8382 is horrible: I feel ill....
8385 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8386 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8387 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8388 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8391 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8392 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8394 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8395 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8396 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8397 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8399 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8400 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8401 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8402 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8403 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8404 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8406 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8408 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8409 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8411 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8412 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8414 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8417 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8418 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8422 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8423 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8424 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8425 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8426 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8427 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8428 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8429 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8430 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8431 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8432 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8434 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8437 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8438 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8439 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8440 for linking it into DSOs.
8441 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8443 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8447 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8448 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8449 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8450 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8451 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8452 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8454 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8455 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8456 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8457 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8458 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8459 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8460 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8462 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8463 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8464 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8468 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8469 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8470 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8471 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8474 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8475 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8476 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8477 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8478 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8482 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8483 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8484 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8485 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8486 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8488 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8489 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8490 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8492 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8493 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8495 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8496 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8497 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8498 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8499 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8502 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8503 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8504 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8505 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8506 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8507 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8508 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8511 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8513 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8514 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8517 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8518 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8520 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8521 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8524 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8525 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8526 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8527 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8528 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8530 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8531 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8532 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8533 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8534 no way to reconfigure them.
8535 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8536 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8537 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8538 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8539 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8540 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8542 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8543 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8544 recognized by the users.
8545 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8547 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8548 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8549 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8550 already masked variable.
8551 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8553 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8554 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8556 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8557 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8558 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8559 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8561 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8562 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8563 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8565 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8566 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8567 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8568 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8569 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8570 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8571 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8572 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8574 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8576 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8577 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8578 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8580 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8581 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8585 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8586 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8588 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8589 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8590 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8591 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8594 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8597 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8598 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8600 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8603 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8604 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8607 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8608 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8611 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8612 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8613 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8614 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8615 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8616 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8617 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8620 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8621 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8623 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8624 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8625 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8626 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8627 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8629 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8630 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8631 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8634 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8635 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8639 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8640 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8641 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8643 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8644 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8645 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8649 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8650 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8651 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8652 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8655 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8656 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8657 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8658 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8661 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8662 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8663 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8664 so it wasn't spotted.
8665 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8667 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8668 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8669 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8670 vectors if you have them.
8673 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8674 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8677 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8678 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8679 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8680 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8682 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8683 it will update them.
8686 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8687 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8688 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8689 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8690 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8691 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8692 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8693 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8695 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8696 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8697 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8698 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8699 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8700 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8701 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8702 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8703 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8704 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8706 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8707 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8708 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8709 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8710 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8713 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8717 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8718 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8720 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8721 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8723 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8724 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8727 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8728 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8730 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8731 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8733 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8736 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8740 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8741 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8742 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8743 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8745 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8748 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8751 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8754 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8755 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8758 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8759 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8763 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8764 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8767 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8768 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8769 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8772 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8773 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8774 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8775 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8776 properly to be processed.
8779 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8780 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8781 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8784 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8785 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8787 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8788 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8789 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8790 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8791 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8792 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8793 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8794 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8795 or delete all the .err files.
8798 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8799 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8800 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8801 to regenerate it if needed.
8802 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8803 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8805 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8806 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8808 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8809 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8810 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8811 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8812 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8815 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8816 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8818 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8819 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8821 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8822 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8823 error, but didn't set one).
8824 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8826 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8829 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8830 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8833 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8834 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8836 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8837 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8838 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8839 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8840 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8841 OID is not part of the table.
8844 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8845 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8848 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8851 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8852 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8856 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8857 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8859 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8861 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8863 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8864 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8866 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8867 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8869 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8870 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8872 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8873 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
8876 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
8877 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
8880 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
8881 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8883 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
8884 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8886 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
8887 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8889 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
8890 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8892 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
8893 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
8894 unused in the certificate verification process.
8895 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8897 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
8898 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
8901 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
8902 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
8903 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
8905 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
8906 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
8907 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
8908 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
8909 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
8911 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
8912 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
8915 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
8918 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
8921 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
8922 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
8924 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
8927 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
8930 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
8933 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
8934 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
8935 other error libraries.
8938 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
8941 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
8942 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
8946 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
8947 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
8948 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
8949 the new set of documenation files.
8950 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8952 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
8953 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
8954 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
8955 number of arguments.
8956 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
8958 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
8961 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
8962 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
8963 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8965 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
8968 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
8972 unixware-2.0-pentium
8976 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
8977 before they are needed.
8980 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
8984 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
8986 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
8987 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
8988 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8990 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
8993 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
8994 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
8995 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8997 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
8998 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
8999 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9001 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9002 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9003 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9005 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9006 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9008 *) Updated the README file.
9009 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9011 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9012 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9013 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9015 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9016 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9017 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9019 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9020 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9021 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9022 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9023 o removed obsolete TODO file
9024 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9025 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9027 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9028 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9029 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
9030 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
9031 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
9032 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9033 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9035 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9038 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9039 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9040 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9042 [The OpenSSL Project]
9045 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9047 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9050 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9053 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9054 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9057 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9058 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9062 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9064 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9066 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9069 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9072 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9075 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9078 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9081 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9084 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9087 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9090 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9093 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9096 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9099 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9102 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9105 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9108 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9111 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9114 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9117 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9118 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9119 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9122 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9123 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
9126 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
9129 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
9132 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
9133 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
9136 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
9139 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
9142 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
9143 bytes sent in the client random.
