5 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
10 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
11 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
15 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
16 sign or verify all in one operation.
19 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporaing all the algorithm
20 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
21 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
24 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
27 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
30 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
31 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
32 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
33 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
34 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
37 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
41 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
42 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
43 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
46 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
47 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
50 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
53 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
54 POST to handle HMAC cases.
57 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
58 to return numberical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
61 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
62 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implmeneted
63 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
66 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
67 there is no mutiple of the block length between min_len and
68 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
69 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
70 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
71 requested amount of entropy.
74 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
75 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
78 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
79 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
80 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
84 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
85 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
86 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
89 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
90 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
91 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
92 will never use XTS mode.
95 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
96 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
97 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
98 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
99 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
100 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
103 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
104 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
105 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
106 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
109 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
110 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
111 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
114 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
117 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
120 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
121 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
124 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
125 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
128 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
129 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
132 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
133 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
134 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
135 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
136 and rename any affected symbols.
139 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
140 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
143 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
144 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
145 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
148 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
151 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
152 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
153 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
156 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
157 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
160 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
161 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
162 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
163 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
164 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
165 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
169 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
170 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
171 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
172 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
173 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
174 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
175 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
176 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
179 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
180 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
183 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
185 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
186 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
188 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
189 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
190 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
191 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
192 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
193 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
195 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
196 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
197 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
199 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
201 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
204 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
207 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
210 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
211 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
212 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
214 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
216 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_diff to find the difference in days
217 and seconds between two tm structures. This will be used to provide
218 additional functionality for ASN1_TIME.
221 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
222 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
225 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
226 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
227 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
228 setting is used: whether to trust or reject.
231 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
235 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
236 Add CMAC pkey methods.
239 *) Experimental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
240 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
241 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
244 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
245 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
246 multi-process servers.
249 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
250 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
251 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
252 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
253 RAND_METHOD structure.
256 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
257 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
258 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
259 whose return value is often ignored.
262 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
264 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
265 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
266 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
267 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
268 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
270 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
271 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
272 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
274 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
275 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
276 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
278 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
279 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
281 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
283 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
284 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
285 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
288 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
289 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
293 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
294 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
295 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
298 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
299 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
300 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
301 the appropriate parameters.
304 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
305 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
306 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
307 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
308 against a number of sample certificates.
311 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
312 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
314 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
315 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
317 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
318 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
322 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
326 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
327 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
328 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
332 *) Session-handling fixes:
333 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
334 but also support Session Tickets.
335 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
336 presented a ticket with an expired session.
337 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
338 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
339 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
340 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
342 *) Fix PSK session representation.
345 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
347 This work was sponsored by Intel.
350 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
351 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
352 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
353 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
354 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
357 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
358 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
361 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
362 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
363 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
366 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
367 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
368 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
369 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
372 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
373 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
374 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
377 *) Add -attime option to openssl verify.
378 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org> and Ben Laurie]
380 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
383 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
384 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
387 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
390 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
391 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
394 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
395 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
398 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
401 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
402 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
403 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
406 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
409 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
412 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
413 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
416 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
417 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
418 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
421 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
424 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
428 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
429 FIPS modules versions.
432 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
433 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
434 until after the certificate request message is received.
437 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
438 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
439 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
440 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
443 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
444 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
445 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
446 support yet and no support for client certificates.
449 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
450 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
451 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
452 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
453 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
454 and version checking.
457 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
458 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
459 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
460 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
464 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
466 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
469 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
470 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
471 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
473 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
474 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
475 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
478 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
479 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
481 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
482 a few changes are required:
484 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
486 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
487 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
488 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
491 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [xx XXX xxxx]
493 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
494 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
495 [Adam Langley (Google)]
497 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
498 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
499 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
501 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
502 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
503 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
504 the last update always remained unused).
505 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
507 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
508 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
510 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
512 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
513 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
514 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
516 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
517 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
518 [Adam Langley (Google)]
520 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
523 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
524 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
525 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
528 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
529 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
531 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
533 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
535 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
537 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
538 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
540 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
541 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
545 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
547 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
548 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
549 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
552 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
553 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
554 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
557 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
559 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
560 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
561 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
564 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
568 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
570 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
572 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
574 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
576 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
577 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
578 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
581 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
584 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
585 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
586 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
588 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
589 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
590 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
593 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
594 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
597 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
598 some responders need this.
601 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
603 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
605 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
606 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
607 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
610 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
613 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
614 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
615 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
616 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
617 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
618 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
619 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
620 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
623 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
624 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
625 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
626 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
628 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
629 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
631 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
635 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
636 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
637 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
638 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
639 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
640 attempting to work them out.
643 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
644 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
645 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
646 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
649 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
650 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
651 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
652 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
653 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
656 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
657 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
664 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
666 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
670 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
671 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
673 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
674 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
676 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
677 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
678 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
679 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
680 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
683 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
684 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
685 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
688 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
689 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
692 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
693 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
695 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
696 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
699 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
702 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
703 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
704 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
708 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
709 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
710 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
711 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
712 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
713 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
716 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
717 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
719 This work was sponsored by Google.
722 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
723 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
724 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
725 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
726 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
727 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
728 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
731 This work was sponsored by Google.
734 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
736 This work was sponsored by Google.
739 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
740 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
741 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
742 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
744 This work was sponsored by Google.
747 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
748 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
749 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
750 CRL functionality in future.
752 This work was sponsored by Google.
755 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
757 This work was sponsored by Google.
760 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
761 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
763 This work was sponsored by Google.
766 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
767 and URI types are currently supported.
769 This work was sponsored by Google.
772 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
773 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
774 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
775 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
776 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
777 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
778 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
779 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
781 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
782 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
783 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
785 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
786 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
787 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
788 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
790 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
791 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
792 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
793 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
794 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
795 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
796 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
797 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
799 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
801 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
802 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
803 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
805 This work was sponsored by Google.
808 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
811 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
812 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
813 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
816 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
817 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
820 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
821 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
824 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
825 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
826 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
827 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
828 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
829 content types and variants.
832 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
835 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
836 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
837 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
838 files from the associated perl scripts.
841 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
842 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
843 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
845 *) s390x assembler pack.
848 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
852 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
853 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
854 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
855 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
856 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
857 to use. For example, specify an option
859 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
861 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
862 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
863 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
864 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
865 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
866 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
868 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
869 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
870 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
871 return non-zero for success.
873 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
876 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
877 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
881 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
884 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
885 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
886 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
887 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
888 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
889 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
890 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
891 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
892 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
894 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
895 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
896 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
897 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
898 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
899 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
901 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
902 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
903 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
904 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
905 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
906 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
910 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
913 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
915 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
916 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
917 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
920 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
921 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
924 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
925 protection in servers so again support should be possible
926 with no application modification.
928 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
929 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
931 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
932 or server extensions to be examined.
934 This work was sponsored by Google.
937 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
938 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
939 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
941 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
942 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
944 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
946 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
947 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
948 to output in BER and PEM format.
951 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
952 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
953 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
954 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
955 -macopt options to dgst utility.
958 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
959 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
960 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
964 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
965 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
966 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
967 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
968 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
969 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
970 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
971 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
974 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
975 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
976 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
977 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
979 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
980 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
981 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
985 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
986 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
987 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
988 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
989 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
990 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
991 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
992 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
993 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
995 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
996 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
997 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
998 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
999 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1000 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1001 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1002 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1003 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1004 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1005 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1008 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1009 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1010 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1012 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1013 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1017 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1018 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1019 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1022 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1023 it yet and it is largely untested.
1026 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1029 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1030 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1031 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1034 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1037 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1038 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1039 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1040 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1043 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1044 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1045 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1046 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1047 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1050 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1051 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1054 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1055 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1056 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1057 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1060 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1061 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1062 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1063 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1066 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1067 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1070 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1071 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1072 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1073 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1076 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1077 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1078 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1081 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1085 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1086 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1089 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1090 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1091 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1095 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1096 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1097 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1100 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1101 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1102 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1103 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1106 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1107 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1108 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1109 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1110 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1111 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1114 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1115 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1116 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1117 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1118 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1120 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1121 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1122 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1123 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1124 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1127 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1128 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1129 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1130 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1132 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1133 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1134 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1135 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1136 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1142 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1143 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1147 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1148 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1151 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1152 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1155 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1156 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1157 functional reference processing.
1160 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1161 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1165 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1166 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1167 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1170 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1171 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1172 application to support multiple signers.
1175 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1179 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1180 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1181 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1182 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1183 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1186 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1190 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1191 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1192 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1193 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1197 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1198 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1199 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1200 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1201 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1202 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1203 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1204 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1207 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1208 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1209 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1210 between digests and public key types.
1213 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1214 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1215 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1216 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1219 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1220 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1224 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1227 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1231 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1232 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1233 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1234 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1239 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1241 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1243 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1245 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1246 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1247 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1248 functionality for RSA.
1251 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1252 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1253 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1256 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1257 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1260 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1261 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1262 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1265 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1266 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1269 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1270 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1273 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1274 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1278 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1279 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1280 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1284 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1285 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1286 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1287 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1288 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1289 of public and private key structures.
1292 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1293 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1296 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1297 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1298 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1301 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1305 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1306 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1307 SSL_get_psk_identity
1308 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1310 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1312 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1313 and response verification functionality.
1314 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1316 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1317 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1318 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1319 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1320 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1321 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1322 server_name extension.
1324 New functions (subject to change):
1326 SSL_get_servername()
1327 SSL_get_servername_type()
1330 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1332 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1333 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1334 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1335 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1336 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1338 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1340 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1341 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1342 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1343 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1344 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1345 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1348 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1350 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1353 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1354 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1355 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1356 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1357 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1360 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1361 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1365 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1366 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1367 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1368 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1371 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1372 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1373 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1374 using the maximum available value.
1377 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1378 in addition to the text details.
1381 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1382 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1383 handle several customised structures at all.
1386 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1387 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1388 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1391 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1394 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1395 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1396 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1399 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1400 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1401 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1404 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1405 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1409 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1412 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1415 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [xx XXX xxxx]
1417 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1418 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1419 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1421 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1422 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1423 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1425 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1426 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1427 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1428 the last update always remained unused).
1429 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1431 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1432 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1433 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1435 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1438 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1439 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1441 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1443 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1445 Changes between 0.9.8q and 0.9.8r [8 Feb 2011]
1447 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1448 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1450 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1451 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1455 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
1457 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1458 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1459 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1462 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1463 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1464 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1467 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1469 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1470 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1471 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1474 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1477 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1478 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1479 some broken encodings work correctly.
1482 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1483 is also one of the inputs.
1484 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1486 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1487 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1488 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add
1492 Changes between 0.9.8n and 0.9.8o [01 Jun 2010]
1494 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after
1497 *) Correct a typo in the CMS ASN1 module which can result in invalid memory
1498 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
1499 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
1501 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
1502 common in certificates and some applications which only call
1503 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
1507 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com
1508 Don't try to use blank CA certificate in CA.com
1509 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
1510 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
1512 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1514 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1515 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1516 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1517 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1518 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1519 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1520 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1521 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1523 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1524 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1525 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1527 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1529 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1530 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1532 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1533 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1536 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1537 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1538 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1541 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1542 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1543 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1544 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1545 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1546 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1549 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1550 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1551 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1554 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1555 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1556 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1557 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1558 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1559 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1563 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1564 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1567 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1568 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1569 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1572 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1575 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1576 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1577 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1578 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1579 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1580 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1581 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1582 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1583 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1586 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1587 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1588 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1591 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1592 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1595 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1596 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1597 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1598 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1599 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1600 know what you are doing.
1601 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1603 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1604 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1605 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1606 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1607 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1608 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1612 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1613 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1614 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1616 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1618 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1619 warnings in other configurations.
1622 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1623 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1624 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1626 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1628 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1629 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1630 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1632 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1633 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1634 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1635 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1638 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1642 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1643 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1645 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1647 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1648 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1649 other than a simple chain.
1650 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1652 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1653 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1654 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1655 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1658 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1659 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1660 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1661 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1662 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1663 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1664 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1665 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1666 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1668 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1669 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1670 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1671 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1672 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1673 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1675 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1677 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1678 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1681 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1682 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1685 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1687 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1689 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1690 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1691 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1692 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1693 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1697 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1699 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1700 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1701 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1702 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1704 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1705 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1706 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1707 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1709 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1710 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1711 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1714 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1715 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1719 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1720 to handle some structures.
1723 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1725 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1727 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1730 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1733 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1736 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1737 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1741 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1743 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1745 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1747 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1750 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1751 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1752 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1753 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1755 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1756 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1758 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1759 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1762 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1763 s_client and s_server.
1766 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1767 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1769 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1770 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1772 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1773 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1774 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1775 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1776 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1779 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1781 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1782 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1785 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1786 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1789 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1790 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1791 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1792 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1794 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1795 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1797 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1799 *) Various precautionary measures:
1801 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1803 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1804 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1805 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1807 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1808 outside the expected range.
1810 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1813 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1815 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1816 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1817 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1819 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1822 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1825 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1827 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1830 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1831 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1832 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1834 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1837 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1838 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1839 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1843 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1845 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1846 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1847 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1848 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1850 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1851 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1854 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1856 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1857 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1858 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1860 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1862 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1863 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1864 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1865 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1868 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1869 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1870 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1871 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1872 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1873 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1874 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1876 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1878 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1879 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1880 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1881 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1882 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1884 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1885 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1887 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1888 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1889 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1890 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1891 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1893 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1895 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1896 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1897 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1898 sets may exist with different names.
1901 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1902 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1903 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1904 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1905 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1906 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1907 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1908 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1909 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an

1913 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1914 implemention in the following ways:
1916 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1919 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1920 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1921 ignored for embedded content.
1923 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1924 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1927 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1928 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1929 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1930 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1932 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1933 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1936 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1937 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1940 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1941 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1942 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1943 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1944 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1945 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1949 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1950 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1951 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1955 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets

1957 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1958 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1959 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1960 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,

1970 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1972 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1973 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1974 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1975 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1976 to s_client and s_server.
1979 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1981 *) Fix various bugs:
1982 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1983 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1984 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1985 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1986 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1988 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1990 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1991 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1992 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1993 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1994 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1995 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1996 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1997 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2000 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2001 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2002 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2005 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2006 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2007 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2010 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2011 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2014 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2015 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2016 with no application modification.
2018 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2019 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2021 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2022 or server extensions to be examined.
2024 This work was sponsored by Google.
2027 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2028 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2029 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2030 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2031 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2032 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2033 server_name extension.
2035 New functions (subject to change):
2037 SSL_get_servername()
2038 SSL_get_servername_type()
2041 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2043 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2044 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2045 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2046 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2047 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2049 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2051 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2052 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2053 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2054 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2055 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2056 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2059 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2061 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2064 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2067 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2068 (which previously caused an internal error).
2071 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2074 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2075 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2077 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2078 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2079 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2081 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2082 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2083 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2084 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2086 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2087 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2088 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2089 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2091 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2092 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2093 information. For detailed background information, see
2094 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2095 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2096 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2097 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2098 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2099 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2100 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2101 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2102 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2103 remove a conditional branch.
2105 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2106 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2107 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2108 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2109 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2110 remains as a deprecated alias.
2112 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2113 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2114 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2115 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2117 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2118 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2119 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2120 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2121 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2122 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2123 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2124 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2126 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2128 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2129 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2130 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2131 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2132 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2133 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2134 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2135 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2136 in a different context.
2139 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2140 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2141 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2144 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2145 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2146 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2148 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2150 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2151 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2152 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2153 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2154 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2157 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2158 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2159 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2160 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2161 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2162 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2165 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2166 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2167 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2168 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2169 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2172 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2173 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2175 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2176 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2177 Improve header file function name parsing.
2180 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2181 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2184 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2186 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2187 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2188 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2190 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2191 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2193 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2194 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2196 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2197 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2198 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2200 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2201 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2202 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2203 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2204 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2205 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2206 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2207 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2208 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2210 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2211 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2212 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2213 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2214 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2216 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2217 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2218 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2219 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2220 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2221 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2222 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2223 multiple values to extend the available space.
2227 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2229 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2230 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2232 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2235 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2236 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2237 undesirable limitations.
2238 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2240 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2241 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2242 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2243 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2244 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2245 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2246 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2249 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2251 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2252 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2253 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2255 The latter two were purportedly from
2256 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2259 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2260 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2261 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2264 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2265 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2268 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2269 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2270 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2271 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2273 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2274 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2275 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2278 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2279 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2280 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2281 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2282 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2283 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2286 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2288 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2289 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2292 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2293 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2295 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2296 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2297 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2298 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2301 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2302 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2305 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2306 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2307 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2308 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2309 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2310 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2311 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2315 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2316 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2317 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2318 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2321 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2322 under VC++ build system.
2325 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2326 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2329 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2331 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2332 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2333 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2334 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2335 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2337 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2338 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2339 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2341 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2344 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2345 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2348 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2349 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2351 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2354 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2355 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2357 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2358 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2361 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2362 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2366 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2368 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2371 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2374 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2375 key into the same file any more.
2378 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2381 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2382 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2384 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2385 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2388 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2389 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2390 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2391 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2392 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2393 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2395 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2396 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2397 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2400 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2401 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2402 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2403 - add new function for parameter creation
2404 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2405 BN_BLINDING parameters
2406 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2407 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2408 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2412 *) Add support for DTLS.
2413 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2415 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2416 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2419 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2420 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2423 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2424 the apps/openssl applications.
2427 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2428 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2429 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2432 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2433 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2435 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2436 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2438 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2439 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2440 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2441 avoid this algorithm.)
2445 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2446 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2447 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2450 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2451 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2454 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2455 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2456 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2459 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2461 The blank line is mandatory.
2465 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2466 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2470 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2471 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2473 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2474 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2475 to support policy checking and print out.
2478 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2479 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2480 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2481 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2483 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2486 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2487 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2489 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2490 implementation contributed by IBM.
2491 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2493 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2494 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2495 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2496 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2498 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2499 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2501 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2502 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2503 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2504 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2505 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2506 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2509 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2510 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2511 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2512 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2513 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2514 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2515 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2518 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2521 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2522 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2523 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2524 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2525 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2526 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2527 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2528 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2531 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2532 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2533 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2534 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2537 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2540 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2543 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2544 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2545 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2546 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2547 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2548 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2549 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2552 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2553 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2556 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2557 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2558 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2561 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2562 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2563 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2567 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2568 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2571 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2572 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2573 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2574 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2577 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2578 initialised value as BN_new().
2579 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2581 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2584 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2585 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2586 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2587 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2588 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2589 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2590 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2591 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2592 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2593 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2594 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2595 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2596 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2597 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2598 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2600 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2601 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2602 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2603 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2606 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2607 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2608 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2609 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2610 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2611 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2612 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2613 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2614 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2617 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2618 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2619 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2620 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2621 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2622 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2623 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2626 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2627 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2628 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2629 these have been updated also.
2632 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2633 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2634 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2635 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2636 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2640 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2641 structure of type "other".
2644 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2645 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2646 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2647 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2648 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2649 situation in the script.
2650 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2652 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2653 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2654 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2655 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2656 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2657 used as premaster secret.
2658 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2660 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2661 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2662 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2664 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2665 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2667 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2668 control of the error stack.
2671 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2674 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2675 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2676 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2677 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2680 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2681 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2682 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2685 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2686 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2687 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2691 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2692 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2693 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2694 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2697 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2698 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2699 the following flags are defined:
2701 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2702 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2703 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2706 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2707 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2708 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2709 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2713 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2714 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2715 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2716 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2717 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2720 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2721 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2722 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2725 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2726 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2727 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2728 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2729 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2730 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2733 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2737 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2740 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2743 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2746 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2747 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2748 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2749 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2750 default implementation more easily.
2753 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2757 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2758 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2761 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2762 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2763 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2764 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2766 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2767 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2768 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2769 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2772 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2773 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2777 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2778 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2779 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2780 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2781 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2782 scalar * generator).
2783 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2785 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2786 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2787 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2791 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2792 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2793 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2794 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2795 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2796 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2797 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2798 linker additions, eg;
2799 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2802 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2803 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2804 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2807 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2808 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2809 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2813 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2814 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2815 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2816 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2819 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2820 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2821 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2822 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2823 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2824 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2825 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2826 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2827 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2828 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2830 Example for using the new callback interface:
2832 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2836 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2838 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2839 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2840 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2841 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2842 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2843 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2848 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2849 available to TLS with the number defined in
2850 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2853 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2854 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2856 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2857 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2858 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2859 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2861 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2862 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2864 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2865 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2869 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2870 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2873 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2874 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2875 and a macro that behave like
2876 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2878 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2881 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2882 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2883 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2885 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2887 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2890 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2891 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2892 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2893 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2895 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2896 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2897 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2898 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2899 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2900 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2901 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2902 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2904 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2905 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2908 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2909 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2911 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2912 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2913 files while avoiding the low level API.
2915 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2916 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2917 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2918 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2920 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2921 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2922 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2923 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2924 instead of the low level API.
2927 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2928 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2929 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2930 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2931 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2934 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2935 down to the template encoder.
2938 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2939 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2942 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2943 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2944 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2945 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2947 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2948 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2950 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2951 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2953 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2954 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2957 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2958 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2959 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2962 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2963 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2965 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2966 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2968 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2969 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2972 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2976 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2977 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2978 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2979 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2980 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2981 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2983 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2984 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2987 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2988 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2989 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2990 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2991 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2992 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2993 various internal method names.)
2995 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2996 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2998 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2999 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3001 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3002 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3004 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3005 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3006 methods are undefined.
3008 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3009 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3011 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3012 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3013 length of the modulus.
3015 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3016 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3018 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3019 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3021 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3022 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3024 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3025 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3026 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3029 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3030 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3031 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3032 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3034 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3035 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3036 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3037 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3039 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3040 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3042 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3043 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3044 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3045 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3046 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3048 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3049 This applies to the following functions:
3054 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3055 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3057 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3058 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3062 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3067 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3069 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3070 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3071 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3072 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3073 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3075 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3076 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3078 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3079 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3080 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3082 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3083 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3085 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3086 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3087 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3088 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3089 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3091 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3093 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3094 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3095 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3096 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3097 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3098 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3099 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3100 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3101 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3102 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3103 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3104 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3106 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3109 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3110 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3111 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3112 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3114 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3115 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3116 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3117 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3122 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3123 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3124 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3125 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3126 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3128 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3129 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3130 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3131 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3132 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3133 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3134 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3135 adding different types of curves.
3136 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3138 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3139 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3140 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3143 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3144 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3146 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3147 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3148 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3149 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3151 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3153 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3154 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3156 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3157 library. Most notably,
3158 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3159 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3160 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3161 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3162 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3163 extracted before the specific public key;
3164 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3165 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3167 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3168 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3170 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3171 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3172 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3173 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3175 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3176 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3177 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3179 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3180 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3181 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3182 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3183 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3184 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3188 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3190 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3192 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3194 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3195 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3196 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3199 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3200 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3201 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3204 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3207 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3208 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3211 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3212 run algorithm test programs.
3215 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3218 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3219 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3220 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3221 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3222 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3225 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3226 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3229 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3231 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3232 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3233 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3235 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3236 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3238 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3239 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3241 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3242 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3243 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3245 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3246 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3247 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3248 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3249 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3250 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3251 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3254 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3256 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3257 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3259 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3260 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3261 undesirable limitations.
3262 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3264 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3266 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3267 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3268 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3270 The latter two were purportedly from
3271 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3274 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3275 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3276 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3279 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3280 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3283 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3285 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3286 module in FIPS mode.
3289 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3292 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3293 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3294 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3295 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3298 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3300 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3301 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3302 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3303 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3304 the difference induced by this change.
3307 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3309 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3310 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3311 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3312 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3313 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3315 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3316 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3317 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3319 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3320 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3323 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3324 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3325 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3326 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3330 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3331 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3332 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3333 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3334 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3336 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3337 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3338 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3339 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3340 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3341 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3343 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3345 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3346 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3347 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3348 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3349 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3352 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3356 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3357 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3358 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3361 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3362 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3363 structures constant.
3366 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3368 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3371 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3372 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3373 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3374 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3375 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3376 some needed definitions.
3379 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3382 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3383 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3384 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3385 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3388 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3390 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3391 server and client random values. Previously
3392 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3393 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3395 This change has negligible security impact because:
3397 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3400 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3403 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3404 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3407 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3410 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3412 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3415 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3416 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3417 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3419 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3422 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3423 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3426 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3427 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3428 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3430 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3433 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3434 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3435 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3439 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3440 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3441 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3442 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3444 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3445 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3446 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3447 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3451 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3453 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3454 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3455 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3456 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3457 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3460 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3463 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3464 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3466 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3467 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3468 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3469 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3470 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3471 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3472 rather than being initialized to 1.
3475 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3477 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3478 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3479 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3481 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3483 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3485 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3486 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3487 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3488 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3489 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3490 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3493 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3494 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3495 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3496 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3497 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3501 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3502 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3503 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3504 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3505 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3508 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3509 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3510 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3514 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3515 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3517 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3520 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3522 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3524 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3525 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3527 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3529 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3530 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3534 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3535 exiting on the first error in a request.
3538 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3539 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3543 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3544 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3545 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3546 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3548 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3549 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3552 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3553 blocks during encryption.
3556 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3557 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3558 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3559 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3563 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3564 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3565 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3566 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3567 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3571 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3573 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3574 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3575 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3576 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3579 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3580 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3581 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3582 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3583 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3585 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3586 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3587 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3588 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3589 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3590 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3591 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3592 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3593 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3596 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3597 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3598 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3599 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3602 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3603 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3606 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3608 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3609 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3610 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3611 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3612 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3614 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3615 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3616 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3618 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3619 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3620 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3621 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3622 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3624 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3625 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3626 used by default when no-err is given.
3629 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3630 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3632 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3633 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3634 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3635 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3636 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3638 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3639 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3640 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3641 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3643 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3645 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3647 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3649 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3650 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3651 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3652 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the

3659 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3660 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3663 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3664 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3665 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3666 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3669 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3670 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3671 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3672 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3673 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3674 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3675 followup to PR #377.
3678 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3679 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3682 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3683 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3684 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

3707 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3708 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3709 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3710 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3711 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3713 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3714 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3715 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3716 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3717 have to be made anyway).
