5 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2001]
7 OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001 and 9 July 2001)
8 and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were developed in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
10 Change log entries are tagged as follows:
11 -) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c only
12 *) applies to 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c and 0.9.7
13 +) applies to 0.9.7 only
15 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
16 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
17 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
19 +) New experimental application configuration code.
22 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
25 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
26 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
28 +) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
29 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
30 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
31 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
33 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
34 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
35 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
37 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6c released [21 dec 2001]
39 +) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
40 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
42 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
43 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
44 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
45 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
48 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
52 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
53 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
54 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
55 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
56 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
58 +) Add option to output public keys in req command.
59 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
61 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
62 returns early because it has nothing to do.
63 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
65 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine and 0.9.7 release:]
66 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
67 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
69 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
70 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
71 (Use engine 'keyclient')
72 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
74 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
75 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
76 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
78 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
80 +) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
81 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
84 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
85 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
87 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
89 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
90 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
91 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
92 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
94 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
95 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
96 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
97 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
99 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
100 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
102 +) New functions/macros
104 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
105 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
106 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
107 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
109 to request calling a callback function
111 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
112 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
114 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
115 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
116 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
117 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
118 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
119 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
120 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
121 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
122 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
123 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
125 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
126 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
129 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
130 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
131 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
134 +) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
135 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
136 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
137 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
138 the configuration scripts.
140 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
141 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
142 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
144 +) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
145 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
147 +) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
148 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
149 when reusing an existing buffer.
152 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
153 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
154 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
156 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
158 +) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
159 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
162 +) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
163 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
166 +) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
167 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
168 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
170 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
172 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
173 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
174 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
175 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
176 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
177 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
178 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
181 +) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
182 with DES_ instead. This because there are increasing clashes with
183 libdes and other des libraries that are currently used by other
184 projects. The old libdes interface is provided, as well as crypt(),
185 if openssl/des_old.h is included. Note that crypt() is no longer
186 declared in openssl/des.h.
188 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
189 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
190 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
191 will be completely removed.
194 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
195 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
196 one of the SSL handshake functions.
197 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
199 +) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
200 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
201 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
202 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
203 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
204 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
205 particular extension is supported.
208 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
209 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
210 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
211 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
212 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
213 the client will at least see that alert.
216 +) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
217 to retain compatibility with existing code.
220 +) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
221 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
222 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
223 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
224 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
225 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
226 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
227 requires the destination to be valid.
229 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
230 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
233 +) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
234 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
235 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
238 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
242 +) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
243 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
245 +) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
246 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
247 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
248 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
249 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
250 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
251 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
252 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
253 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
254 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
255 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
256 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
257 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
258 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
259 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
260 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
261 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
262 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
263 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
267 +) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
270 +) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
271 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
272 become part of libeay.num as well.
275 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
276 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
277 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
279 +) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
280 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
281 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
282 false once a handshake has been completed.
283 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
284 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
285 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
286 client has followed the request.)
289 +) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
290 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
291 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
292 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
295 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
296 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
297 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
298 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
301 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
302 before just sending a HelloRequest.
303 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
305 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
306 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
307 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
308 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
309 may leak via logfiles.)
311 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
312 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
313 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
314 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
318 +) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
321 +) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
322 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
323 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
326 +) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
327 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
330 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
331 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
334 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
335 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
336 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
337 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
338 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
341 +) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
342 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
343 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
344 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
347 +) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
348 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
349 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
350 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
351 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
352 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
355 +) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
356 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
357 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
358 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
359 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
360 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
361 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
362 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
366 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
368 +) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
369 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
372 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
373 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
374 followed by modular reduction.
375 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
377 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
378 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
381 +) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
384 +) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
385 md_data void pointer.
388 +) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
389 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
390 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
391 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
392 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
393 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
396 +) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
397 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
398 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
399 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
400 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
401 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
402 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
403 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
404 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
405 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
406 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
407 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
408 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
409 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
410 rather than letting it slide.
412 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
413 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
414 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
417 +) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
418 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
419 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
420 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
421 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
422 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
423 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
424 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
425 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
428 +) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
429 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
430 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
431 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
432 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
434 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
437 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
438 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
439 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
440 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
443 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
446 +) Add EVP test program.
449 +) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
452 +) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
453 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
454 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
455 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
456 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
459 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
460 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
463 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
464 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
465 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
466 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
467 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
468 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
470 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
472 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
473 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
474 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
475 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
476 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
478 +) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
479 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
480 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
481 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
482 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
483 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
484 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
486 +) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
487 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions. This also reduces
488 the number of header dependencies.
491 +) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
492 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
493 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
494 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
498 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
501 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
502 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
503 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
504 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
505 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
506 to allow the necessary settings.
509 +) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
510 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
511 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
512 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
513 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
514 functions prevents this.
517 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
518 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
519 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
520 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
523 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
524 dh->length and always used
526 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
528 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
529 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
530 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
531 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
532 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
537 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
539 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
545 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
546 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
547 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
548 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
550 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
551 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
552 always reject numbers >= n.
555 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
556 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
557 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
558 variable) is not atomic.
561 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
562 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
563 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
564 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
566 +) Cleanup of EVP macros.
569 +) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
573 +) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
574 revocation information is handled using the text based index
575 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
576 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
577 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
580 +) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
583 +) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
584 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
585 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
586 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
588 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
589 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
591 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
592 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
593 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
596 +) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
597 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
598 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
599 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
602 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
603 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
605 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
607 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
609 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
612 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6b released [9 July 2001]
614 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
615 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
616 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
617 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
618 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
619 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
620 to traverse all of 'state'.
622 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
623 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
624 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
626 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
627 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
629 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
630 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
631 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
632 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
633 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
634 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
635 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
636 further strengthens the PRNG.
639 +) Speed up EVP routines.

657 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
660 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
661 an error message in this case.
664 +) Added the OS2-EMX target.
665 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
667 +) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
668 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
669 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
670 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
671 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
672 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
675 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
678 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
679 positive and less than q.
682 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
683 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
686 +) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
687 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
688 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
689 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
691 +) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
692 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
693 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
694 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
695 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
696 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
700 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
701 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
702 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
703 and interrupts/cancellations.
706 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
707 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
709 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
711 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
712 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
715 +) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
716 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
720 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
722 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
723 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
724 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
725 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
726 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
727 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
728 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
731 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
732 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
733 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
734 detect the supposedly ignored error.
736 Both problems are now fixed.
739 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
740 (previously it was 1024).
743 +) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
744 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
745 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
747 +) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
748 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
752 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
753 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
756 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
759 +) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
760 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
761 than this minimum value is recommended.
764 +) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
765 that are easily reachable.
768 +) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
769 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
771 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
773 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
774 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
775 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
776 needed for static libraries under Win32.
779 +) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
780 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
781 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
784 +) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
785 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
786 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
787 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
788 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
789 internally such as S/MIME.
791 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
792 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
793 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
795 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
799 +) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
800 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
801 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
802 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
804 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
806 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
808 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
809 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
810 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
814 +) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
815 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
816 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
817 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
818 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
819 a window system and the like.
822 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
823 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
824 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
827 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
828 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
829 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
830 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
831 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
832 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
833 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
834 environment variables.
836 +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
837 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
840 +) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
841 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
842 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
843 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
844 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
845 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
846 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
847 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
848 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
852 +) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
853 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
857 +) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
858 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
859 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
860 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
861 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
862 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
863 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
864 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
867 +) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
868 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
869 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
870 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
871 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
872 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
873 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
874 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
875 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
876 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
877 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
878 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
879 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
880 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
881 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
882 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
883 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
886 +) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
887 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
888 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
889 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
890 internal engine_int.h header.
893 +) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
894 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
895 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
896 modify their own ones).
899 +) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
900 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
901 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
902 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
903 later on via ctrl() commands.
904 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
905 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
906 structural references.
907 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
908 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
909 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
910 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
911 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
912 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
913 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
914 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
915 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
916 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
917 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
918 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
921 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
922 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
923 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
926 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
927 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
928 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
929 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
930 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
931 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
934 +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
935 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
936 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
937 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
938 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
939 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
940 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
941 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
944 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
948 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6a released [5 Apr 2001]
950 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
951 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
953 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
954 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
955 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
956 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
960 +) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
961 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
964 -) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
965 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
966 amount of data available.
967 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
968 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
970 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
971 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
972 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
973 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
976 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
977 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
981 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
982 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
983 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
984 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
987 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
990 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
993 -) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
994 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
996 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
998 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
999 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
1000 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
1001 (but broken) behaviour.
1004 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
1006 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
1008 +) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1009 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1012 +) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1013 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1014 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1015 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1016 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1017 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1018 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1021 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
1022 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
1025 +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1026 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1027 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1028 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1029 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1031 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1032 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1036 +) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1038 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1039 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1040 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1042 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1043 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1045 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1046 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1047 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1049 +) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1050 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1052 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1053 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1055 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1057 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1058 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1059 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1062 +) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1063 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1066 +) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1067 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1068 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1069 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1070 is 40 of more characters long.
1073 +) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1074 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1078 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
1082 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
1083 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
1085 +) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1086 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1089 +) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1090 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1094 +) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1096 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1097 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1100 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1102 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1103 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1104 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1106 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1107 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1109 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1112 +) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1116 +) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1117 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1118 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1119 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1121 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1123 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1124 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1126 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
1129 +) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1130 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1131 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1132 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1133 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1134 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1136 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1137 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1139 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1140 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1142 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1143 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1145 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1146 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1147 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1148 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1150 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1151 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1153 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1154 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1156 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1157 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1158 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1159 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1160 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1163 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
1164 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
1165 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
1167 +) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1168 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1169 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1170 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1173 +) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1174 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1175 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1179 +) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1180 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1181 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1182 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1183 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1184 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1185 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1186 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1190 +) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1191 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1194 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
1195 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
1196 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
1199 +) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1200 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1201 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1202 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1205 +) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1206 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1207 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1208 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1209 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1210 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1211 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1212 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1213 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1214 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1217 +) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1218 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1219 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1220 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1221 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1222 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1223 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1224 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1226 +) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1227 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1228 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1229 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1232 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
1233 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
1236 +) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1237 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1238 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1239 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1241 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1242 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1243 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1244 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1245 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1249 +) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1250 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1251 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1252 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1256 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
1257 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
1259 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
1261 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
1263 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
1264 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
1265 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
1266 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
1269 +) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1270 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1271 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1274 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
1277 +) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1278 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1279 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1280 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1281 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1284 +) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1287 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
1288 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
1289 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
1291 +) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1292 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1293 option to ocsp utility.
1296 +) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1297 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1298 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1299 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1300 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1301 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1302 the request is nonce-less.
1305 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
1308 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1310 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
1311 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
1312 but the code is actually correct.
1315 +) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1316 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1317 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1320 +) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1321 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1322 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1325 +) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1326 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1327 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1328 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1329 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1332 +) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1333 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1337 +) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1338 additional certificates supplied.
1341 +) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1342 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1346 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
1347 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
1348 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
1349 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
1350 and leaves the highest bit random.
1351 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
1353 +) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1354 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1355 AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
1356 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
1357 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1359 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
1360 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
1361 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
1362 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
1363 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
1364 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
1365 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
1368 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
1371 +) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1372 request to response.
1375 +) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1376 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1377 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1378 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1379 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1380 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1381 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1382 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1383 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1384 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1385 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1388 +) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1389 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1390 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1391 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1394 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
1395 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
1398 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
1399 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
1400 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
1401 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
1405 +) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1406 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1408 +) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1409 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1410 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1413 -) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
1414 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
1415 and break the signature.
1417 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1419 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
1423 +) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1424 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1425 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1426 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1427 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1429 +) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1430 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1431 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1434 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
1435 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
1436 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
1437 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
1438 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
1441 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
1442 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
1444 *) ./config script fixes.
1445 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
1447 +) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1448 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1449 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1450 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1451 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1452 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1453 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1454 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1456 +) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1457 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1458 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1459 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1460 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1461 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1464 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
1467 +) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1468 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1469 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1470 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1471 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1472 printout format cleaned up.
1475 +) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1476 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1477 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1478 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1479 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1480 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1481 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1482 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1485 +) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1486 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1487 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1488 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1489 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1490 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1491 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1492 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1495 +) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1496 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1497 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1498 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1500 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1502 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
1503 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
1504 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
1505 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
1506 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
1508 +) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1509 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1510 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1511 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1514 +) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1515 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1516 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1517 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1519 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1521 +) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1522 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1523 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1524 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1526 +) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1527 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1529 +) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1530 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1531 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1534 +) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1535 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1536 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1539 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
1540 call failed, free the DSA structure.
1543 +) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1544 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1545 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1546 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1547 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1548 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1549 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1550 functions are provided:
1552 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1553 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1554 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1555 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1557 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1558 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1559 extended allocation function is enabled.
1560 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1561 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1562 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1564 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
1565 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
1568 +) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1569 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1570 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1571 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1572 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1575 +) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1576 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1577 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1579 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1580 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1581 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1584 +) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1585 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1586 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1587 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1588 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1589 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1590 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1591 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1592 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1595 +) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1596 provide utility functions which an application needing
1597 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1598 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1599 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1601 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1602 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1603 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1604 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1605 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1606 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1607 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1608 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1609 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1611 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1612 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1613 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1614 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1617 +) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1618 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1619 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1620 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1621 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1622 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1623 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1624 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1625 will be added elsewhere.
1628 +) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1629 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1630 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1631 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1634 +) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1635 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1636 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1637 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1638 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1639 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1640 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1641 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1642 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1643 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1644 to produce the required SET OF.
1647 +) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1648 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1649 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1652 +) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1653 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1654 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1655 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1656 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1657 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1660 +) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1661 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1662 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1665 +) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1666 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1667 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1670 +) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1671 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1672 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1673 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1674 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1677 +) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1678 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1681 +) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1682 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1683 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1684 certifcates and CRLs.
1687 +) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1688 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1689 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1692 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
1693 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
1694 when writing a 32767 byte record.
1695 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
1697 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
1698 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
1700 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
1701 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
1702 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
1703 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
1704 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
1706 +) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1707 entries for variables.
1710 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
1713 +) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1714 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1715 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1716 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1719 +) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1720 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1721 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1722 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1723 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1724 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1727 +) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1728 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1730 +) Move common extension printing code to new function
1731 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1732 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1735 +) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1739 +) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1740 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1741 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1742 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1743 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1744 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1747 +) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1750 +) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1751 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1752 for now but they will eventually go away.
1755 +) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1756 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1757 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1758 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1759 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1760 has also been converted to the new form.
1763 +) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1764 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1765 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1766 for negative moduli.
1769 +) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1770 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1773 +) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1777 +) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1778 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1779 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1780 type-specific callbacks.
1783 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
1786 +) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1788 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1789 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1791 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
1794 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
1797 +) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1798 in sections depending on the subject.
1801 +) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1805 +) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1806 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1807 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1808 be handled deterministically).
1809 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1811 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
1812 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
1815 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
1816 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
1817 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
1818 result of the server certificate verification.)
1821 +) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1822 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1823 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1826 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
1827 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
1828 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
1832 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
1833 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
1834 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
1835 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
1836 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
1837 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
1838 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
1839 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
1842 +) New function BN_kronecker.
1845 +) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1846 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1847 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1848 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1849 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1852 +) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1853 sign of the number in question.
1855 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1857 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1858 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1859 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1860 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1861 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1864 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
1865 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
1866 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
1867 happening the other way round.
1870 +) New function BN_swap.
1873 +) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1874 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1875 results on negative inputs.
1878 +) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1879 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1880 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1883 +) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1884 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1885 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1886 and add new functions:
1895 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1899 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1901 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1902 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1904 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1905 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1906 be reduced modulo m.
1907 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1909 +) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1910 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1911 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1912 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1913 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1914 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1918 +) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1919 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1920 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1921 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1922 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1924 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1925 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1926 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1930 +) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1933 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
1934 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
1937 +) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1938 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1941 +) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1942 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1943 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1944 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1948 +) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1951 +) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1954 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
1955 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
1956 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
1957 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
1960 +) Add the following functions:
1962 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1964 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1966 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1968 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1969 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1970 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1971 libraries unless it's really needed.
1973 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1974 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1975 declarations (they differed!).
1978 +) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1981 +) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1984 +) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1987 +) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1988 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1991 +) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1992 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1993 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1995 +) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1996 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1999 +) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2002 +) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2005 +) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2008 +) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2009 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2010 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2012 +) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2013 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2014 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2015 different shared library filenames on each system.
2018 +) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2021 +) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2022 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2023 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2025 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2028 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2029 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2030 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2031 binary backward compatibility.
2032 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2033 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2034 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2038 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2039 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2041 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2043 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2044 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2045 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2048 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2050 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2052 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2056 +) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2057 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2058 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2059 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2063 +) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2066 +) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2067 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2068 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2069 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2073 +) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2076 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2078 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2079 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2080 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2081 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2082 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2084 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2085 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2089 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2092 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2094 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2095 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2096 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2097 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2098 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2099 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2100 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2101 by the Finished messages.
2104 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2105 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2107 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2108 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2109 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2110 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2111 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2115 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2116 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2117 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2118 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2119 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2120 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2121 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2122 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2123 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2127 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2128 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2129 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2130 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2132 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2133 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2134 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2135 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2136 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2139 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2140 been tested well enough.
2143 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2144 it can return incorrect results.
2145 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2146 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2149 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2150 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2151 include zero length content when signing messages.
2154 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2155 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2158 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2161 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2165 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2166 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2167 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2168 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2169 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2170 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2173 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2174 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2176 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2177 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2179 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2180 random number < q in the DSA library.
2183 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2184 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2185 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2186 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2187 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2188 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2189 just makes things more complicated.)
2192 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2196 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2197 work better on such systems.
2198 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2200 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2201 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2202 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2205 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2206 if there was more than one signature.
2207 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2209 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2210 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2211 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2212 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2215 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2216 rather than always using the current time.
2219 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2220 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2221 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2222 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2223 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2224 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2226 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2227 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2229 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2231 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2232 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2233 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2234 the same hash value.
2236 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2237 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2238 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2239 with X509_STORE internally.
2241 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2242 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2244 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2245 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2246 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2247 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2248 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2249 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2250 entirely (maybe later...).
2252 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2254 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2255 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2256 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2257 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2258 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2259 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2260 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2261 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2263 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2264 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2266 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2267 to customise the verify behaviour.
2270 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2271 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2274 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2275 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2276 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2277 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2278 request is improperly encoded.
2281 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2282 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2285 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2286 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2288 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2289 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2293 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2294 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2295 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2298 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2299 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2300 BIO/fp routines also added.
2303 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2304 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2306 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2307 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2308 demos/state_machine.
2311 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2312 generation and verification.
2315 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2316 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2317 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2318 encode and decode it manually.
2321 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2323 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2325 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2326 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2327 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2328 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2330 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2331 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2332 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2333 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2334 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2337 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2340 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2341 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2342 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2344 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2345 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
2346 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
2347 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2348 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2349 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2350 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2351 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
2353 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
2354 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
2356 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
2358 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
2359 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
2360 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
2364 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
2365 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
2366 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
2367 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
2371 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
2373 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
2376 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
2377 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
2378 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
2379 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
2380 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
2381 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
2382 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
2383 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
2384 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
2385 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
2386 short or long names are found.
2389 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
2390 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
2392 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
2393 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
2394 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
2395 version rollback attacks was not effective.
2397 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
2398 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
2399 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
2400 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
2403 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
2404 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
2405 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
2408 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
2409 these print out strings and name structures based on various
2410 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
2411 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
2412 to allow the various flags to be set.
2415 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
2416 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
2417 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
2418 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
2419 dates to be checked.
2422 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
2423 negative public key encodings) on by default,
2424 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
2427 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
2428 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
2429 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
2432 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
2433 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
2436 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
2437 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
2438 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
2439 are always statically linked for now, but there are
2440 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
2441 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
2444 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
2445 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
2449 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
2453 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
2454 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
2455 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
2456 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
2457 form signing output easier to verify.
2460 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
2463 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
2464 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
2465 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
2466 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
2467 are needed because all other string types have virtually
2468 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
2469 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
2470 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
2471 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
2472 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
2475 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
2477 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
2478 the syntax given in objects.README.
2479 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
2481 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
2484 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
2485 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
2486 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
2487 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
2488 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
2489 consistent name changes.
2492 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
2495 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
2496 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
2497 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
2498 environment variable, or the default random state file.
2501 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
2502 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
2503 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
2507 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
2508 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
2509 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
2510 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
2513 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
2514 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
2515 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
2516 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
2517 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
2518 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
2519 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
2520 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
2521 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
2522 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
2523 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
2526 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
2527 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
2528 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
2529 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
2530 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
2531 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
2532 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
2533 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
2534 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
2535 algorithm to openssl-dev.
2538 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
2539 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
2540 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
2541 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
2543 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
2544 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
2545 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
2546 omit any duplicate addresses.
2549 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
2550 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
2553 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
2554 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
2555 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
2556 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
2557 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
2560 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
2562 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
2563 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
2564 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
2565 Free => OPENSSL_free
2568 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
2569 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
2572 *) CygWin32 support.
2573 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
2575 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
2576 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
2577 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
2578 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
2579 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
2583 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
2584 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
2585 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
2586 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
2587 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
2588 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
2589 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
2592 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
2593 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
2594 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
2595 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
2596 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
2597 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
2598 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
2599 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
2600 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
2601 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
2602 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
2605 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
2606 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
2607 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
2608 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
2609 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
2611 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
2612 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
2613 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
2614 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
2615 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
2617 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
2620 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
2621 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
2622 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
2623 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
2625 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
2627 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
2630 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
2631 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
2632 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
2635 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
2636 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
2637 any installed hardware versions can.
2640 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
2641 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
2642 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
2646 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
2647 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
2648 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
2649 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
2650 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
2652 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
2653 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
2656 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
2657 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
2660 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
2661 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
2662 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
2666 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
2669 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
2670 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
2671 but no ssl client purpose.
2672 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
2674 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
2675 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
2676 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
2677 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
2678 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
2679 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
2680 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
2681 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
2682 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
2683 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
2684 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
2687 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
2688 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
2689 be obtained from the error queue.
2692 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
2693 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
2694 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
2695 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
2698 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
2701 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
2702 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
2703 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
2704 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
2705 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
2708 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
2709 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
2710 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
2711 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
2712 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
2715 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
2716 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
2717 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
2719 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
2721 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
2722 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
2723 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
2724 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
2725 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
2726 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
2727 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
2728 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
2729 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
2730 or "the configuration storage API"...
2732 The new configuration file reading functions are:
2734 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
2735 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
2737 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
2739 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
2741 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
2742 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
2743 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
2744 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
2745 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
2746 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
2747 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
2749 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
2750 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
2753 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
2754 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
2755 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
2756 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
2759 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
2760 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
2761 them in a portable way.
2762 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
2764 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
2766 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
2768 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
2769 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
2771 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
2772 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
2773 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
2776 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
2777 was larger than the MD block size.
2778 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
2780 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
2781 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
2782 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
2783 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
2787 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
2788 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
2789 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
2791 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
2793 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
2795 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
2796 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
2797 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
2798 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
2799 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
2800 Additional arguments are always ignored.
2802 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
2803 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
2805 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
2806 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
2809 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
2812 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
2813 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
2815 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
2816 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
2817 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
2818 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
2821 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
2822 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
2823 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
2824 does not suppress any output.
2827 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
2828 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
2829 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
2830 with all the associated security issues.
2832 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
2833 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
2834 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
2835 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
2836 use the value in the default purpose.
2839 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
2840 and fix a memory leak.
2843 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
2844 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
2845 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
2846 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
2849 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
2850 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
2851 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
2852 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
2855 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
2856 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
2857 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
2860 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
2861 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
2864 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
2865 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
2869 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
2870 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
2873 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
2874 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
2875 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
2878 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
2879 number generation fails.
2882 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
2885 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
2886 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
2888 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
2891 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
2892 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
2894 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
2895 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
2897 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
2899 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
2900 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
2903 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
2904 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
2906 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
2907 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
2910 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
2911 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
2912 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
2913 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
2914 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
2915 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
2917 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
2918 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
2919 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
2923 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
2924 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
2925 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
2926 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
2927 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
2928 counter, some don't.)
2929 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
2930 counters or duplicate objects.
2933 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
2934 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
2937 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
2938 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
2939 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
2941 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
2942 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
2943 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
2947 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
2948 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
2951 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
2952 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
2953 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
2957 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
2958 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
2959 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
2962 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
2963 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
2964 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
2965 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
2966 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
2967 should work without changes.
2970 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
2971 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
2972 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
2973 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
2974 must be defined. E.g.,
2975 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
2976 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
2977 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
2978 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
2980 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
2984 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
2985 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
2986 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
2989 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
2990 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
2991 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
2992 request header lines. Some software needs this.
2995 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
2996 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
2997 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
2998 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
2999 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3000 is prompted for as usual.
3003 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3004 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3005 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3006 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3008 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3009 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3010 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3011 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3014 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3017 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3021 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3024 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3027 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3031 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3034 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3037 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3038 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3041 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3042 options to produce them.
3045 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3046 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3049 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3053 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3054 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3055 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3056 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3057 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3058 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3059 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3062 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3065 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3066 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3067 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3070 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3071 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3073 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3074 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3077 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3078 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3079 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3083 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3084 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3086 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3087 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3088 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3089 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3090 generation becomes much faster.
3092 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3093 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3094 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3095 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3096 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3097 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3098 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3099 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3100 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3101 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3104 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3105 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3106 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3107 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3108 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3109 trial division stage.
3112 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3116 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3119 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3122 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3123 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3124 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3128 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3129 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3130 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3133 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3134 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3135 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3136 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3138 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3139 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3142 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3145 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3146 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3147 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3148 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3151 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3152 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3153 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3156 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3157 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3158 (instead of parameters) in future.
3161 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3162 when a new cipher list is set.
3165 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3166 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3169 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3170 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3171 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3173 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3174 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3175 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3176 an error is flagged.
3178 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3179 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3180 the readability was also increased :-)
3181 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3183 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3184 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3185 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3186 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3190 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3191 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3194 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3195 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3196 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3197 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3200 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3201 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3202 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3203 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3204 because they handle more complex structures.)
3207 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3208 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3209 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3210 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3212 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3213 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3214 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3215 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3216 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3217 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3218 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3221 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3222 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3223 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3224 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3225 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3228 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3231 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3232 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3233 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3234 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3235 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3238 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3242 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3243 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3244 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3245 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3248 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3251 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3252 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3253 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3254 international characters are used.
3256 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3257 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3258 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3262 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3263 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3264 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3267 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3268 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3269 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3270 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3271 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3272 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3274 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3275 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3276 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3277 be handled by the string table functions.
3279 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3280 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3281 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3282 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3283 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3287 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3288 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3289 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3290 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3291 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3293 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3294 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3295 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3296 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3299 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3300 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3301 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3302 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3303 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3307 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3308 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3309 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3310 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3311 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3312 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3313 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3314 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3316 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3317 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3318 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3321 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3322 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3323 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3324 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3325 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3326 support to pkcs8 application.
3329 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3330 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3331 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3332 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3333 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3334 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
3337 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
3338 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
3339 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
3340 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
3341 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
3345 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
3346 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
3347 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
3348 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
3352 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
3353 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
3354 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
3355 and any application specific purposes.
3357 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
3358 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
3359 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
3360 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
3361 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
3362 if the certificate is self signed.
3365 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
3366 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
3369 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
3370 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
3371 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
3372 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
3375 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
3376 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
3377 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
3378 Update documentation.
3381 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
3382 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
3383 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
3384 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
3385 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
3388 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
3390 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
3392 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
3393 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
3394 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
3395 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
3396 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
3397 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
3398 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
3399 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
3400 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
3401 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
3403 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
3405 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3406 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3407 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
3408 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
3409 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
3411 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
3412 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
3413 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
3414 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
3415 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
3416 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
3417 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
3418 request additional information:
3419 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
3420 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
3422 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
3423 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
3424 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
3427 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
3428 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
3431 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
3434 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
3435 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3437 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
3438 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
3439 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
3443 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
3444 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
3445 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
3447 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
3448 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
3449 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
3450 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
3451 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
3452 included in OpenSSL.
3455 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
3456 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
3457 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
3458 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
3459 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
3460 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
3463 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
3467 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
3468 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
3469 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
3470 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
3471 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
3475 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
3479 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
3480 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
3481 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
3482 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
3483 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
3484 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
3485 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
3486 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
3487 be maintained manually.
3489 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
3490 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
3491 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
3492 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
3493 work because people forget to call this function]
3494 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
3495 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
3496 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
3499 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
3500 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
3501 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
3502 should be discouraged from doing it.
3505 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
3506 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
3507 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
3508 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
3509 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
3510 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
3513 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
3514 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
3515 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
3517 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
3518 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
3519 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
3521 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
3522 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
3523 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
3524 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
3525 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
3526 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
3528 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
3529 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
3530 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
3532 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
3533 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
3536 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
3537 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
3538 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
3539 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
3542 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
3545 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
3546 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
3547 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
3548 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
3549 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
3550 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
3551 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
3552 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
3553 keys so we should be OK.
3555 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
3556 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
3557 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
3558 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
3559 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
3560 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
3561 stay in the name of compatibility.
3563 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
3564 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
3565 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
3567 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
3568 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
3569 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
3570 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
3571 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
3572 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
3576 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
3577 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
3578 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
3579 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
3580 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
3581 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
3582 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
3583 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
3584 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
3585 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
3586 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
3587 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
3588 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
3591 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
3594 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
3595 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
3596 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
3597 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
3598 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
3599 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
3600 single self signed certificate. This means that:
3601 openssl verify ss.pem
3602 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
3603 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
3607 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
3608 (and add it to external session representation).
3609 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
3610 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
3611 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
3612 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
3613 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
3614 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
3616 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
3618 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
3619 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
3620 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
3621 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
3623 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
3624 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
3625 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
3628 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
3629 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
3630 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
3634 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
3635 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
3636 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
3638 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
3639 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
3640 certificate auxiliary information.
3643 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
3647 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
3648 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
3649 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
3650 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
3651 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
3652 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
3653 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
3656 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
3657 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
3660 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
3661 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
3662 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
3663 manpages and fix a few bugs.
3666 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
3669 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
3670 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
3673 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
3674 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
3675 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
3676 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
3677 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
3678 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
3679 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
3680 using the new 'x509' options.
3682 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
3683 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
3684 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
3685 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
3689 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
3690 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
3691 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
3692 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
3693 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
3696 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
3697 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
3698 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
3699 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
3700 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
3701 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
3702 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
3703 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
3704 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
3705 the key length and effective key length are equal.
3708 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
3709 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
3710 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
3711 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
3712 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
3713 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
3714 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
3717 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
3718 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
3719 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
3720 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
3721 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
3722 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
3723 openssl.cnf for more info.
3726 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
3727 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
3728 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
3729 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
3730 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
3731 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
3732 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
3733 md should be large enough anyway.
3736 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
3737 for handling the random seed file.
3739 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
3741 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
3744 x509 (when signing).
3745 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
3746 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
3747 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
3749 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
3750 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
3751 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
3752 that support '-rand'.
3755 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
3756 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
3759 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
3760 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
3763 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
3764 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
3765 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
3766 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
3770 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
3771 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
3772 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
3773 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
3776 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
3777 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
3778 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
3779 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
3780 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
3781 print out all the purposes.
3784 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
3788 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
3789 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
3790 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
3791 single function call.
3794 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
3795 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
3798 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
3799 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
3800 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
3803 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
3804 when producing the local key id.
3805 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3807 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
3808 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
3809 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
3813 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
3814 a public key to be input or output. For example:
3815 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
3816 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
3819 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
3820 in the message. This was handled by allowing
3821 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
3822 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
3824 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
3825 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
3826 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
3827 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3829 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
3830 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
3831 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
3832 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
3833 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
3834 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
3835 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
3836 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
3837 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
3838 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
3839 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
3840 trivial: move one line.
3841 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
3843 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
3844 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
3845 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
3846 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
3847 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
3848 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
3849 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
3850 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
3851 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
3852 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
3853 with an event loop for example.
3856 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
3857 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
3858 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
3859 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
3860 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
3861 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
3862 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
3863 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
3864 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
3867 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
3868 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
3869 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
3870 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
3871 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
3872 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
3875 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
3876 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
3877 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
3878 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
3880 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
3881 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
3882 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
3883 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
3887 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
3888 (still largely untested)
3891 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
3892 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
3895 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
3896 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
3899 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
3900 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
3901 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
3904 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
3905 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
3906 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
3907 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
3908 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
3911 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
3914 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
3915 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
3916 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
3917 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
3918 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
3922 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
3923 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
3926 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
3929 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
3930 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
3931 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
3932 are otherwise ignored at present.
3935 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
3936 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
3937 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
3938 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
3939 copied until the next read.
3942 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
3943 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
3944 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
3947 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
3948 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
3949 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
3950 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
3951 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
3952 associated functions.
3955 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
3956 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
3957 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
3958 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
3959 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
3960 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
3961 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
3962 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
3963 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
3967 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
3968 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
3969 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
3970 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
3973 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
3974 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
3975 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
3976 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
3977 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
3981 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
3982 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
3986 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
3987 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
3988 extensions to be obtained and added.
3991 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
3992 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
3995 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
3997 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
3998 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4000 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4001 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4003 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4007 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4008 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4009 DH parameters contain its length).
4011 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4012 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4013 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4014 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
4015 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
4016 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
4017 utter importance to use
4018 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4020 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4021 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
4022 attacks may become possible!
4025 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
4028 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
4029 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
4032 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
4033 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
4034 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
4038 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
4039 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
4040 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
4041 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
4042 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
4043 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
4044 private key operations.
4047 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
4050 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
4051 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
4053 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
4054 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
4055 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
4056 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
4057 the password callback is called.
4058 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
4060 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
4062 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
4063 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
4064 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
4065 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
4066 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
4067 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
4070 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
4071 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
4072 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
4073 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
4074 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
4075 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
4078 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
4081 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
4082 delete an unused file.
4085 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
4086 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
4087 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
4088 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
4091 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
4092 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
4093 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
4097 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
4098 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
4099 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4101 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
4102 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
4103 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
4104 comparison" warnings.
4105 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
4108 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
4109 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
4110 derived keys are printed to stderr.
4113 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
4114 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
4116 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
4117 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
4119 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
4120 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
4121 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
4123 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
4124 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
4125 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
4126 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
4127 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
4129 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
4131 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
4132 The interface is as follows:
4133 Applications can use
4134 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
4135 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
4136 "off" is now the default.
4137 The library internally uses
4138 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
4139 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
4140 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
4142 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
4143 even the default) are now avoided.
4145 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
4146 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
4147 than just having a counter.
4149 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
4151 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
4155 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
4156 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
4157 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
4158 Initial "mode" flags are:
4160 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
4161 a single record has been written.
4162 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
4163 retries use the same buffer location.
4164 (But all of the contents must be
4168 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
4171 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
4172 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
4174 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
4175 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
4176 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
4179 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
4180 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
4182 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
4184 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
4185 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
4186 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
4187 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
4189 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
4190 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
4192 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
4193 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
4194 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
4195 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
4196 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
4197 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
4200 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
4201 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
4202 necessary function names.
4205 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
4206 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
4207 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
4208 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
4211 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
4212 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
4213 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
4216 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
4217 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
4218 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
4219 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
4221 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
4225 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
4226 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
4227 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
4230 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
4231 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
4235 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
4236 for the encoded length.
4237 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
4239 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
4242 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
4243 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
4244 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
4245 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
4248 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
4249 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
4250 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4252 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
4253 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
4254 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
4258 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
4259 to use the new extension code.
4262 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
4263 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
4264 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
4268 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
4269 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
4270 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
4274 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
4277 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
4278 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
4279 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
4282 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
4283 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
4284 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
4285 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
4288 *) DES library cleanups.
4291 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
4292 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
4293 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
4294 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
4295 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
4299 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
4300 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
4303 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
4304 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
4305 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
4306 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
4307 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
4308 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
4309 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
4310 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
4311 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
4314 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
4315 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
4316 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
4317 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
4318 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
4319 value doesn't matter.
4322 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
4326 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
4327 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
4328 "linux-sparc" configuration.
4329 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
4331 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
4334 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
4335 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
4336 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4338 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
4339 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4341 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
4344 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
4347 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
4350 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
4354 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
4356 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
4358 *) Updated some demos.
4359 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
4361 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
4364 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
4367 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
4370 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
4371 instead of using a fixed path.
4374 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
4377 *) Improvements for VMS support.
4381 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
4383 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
4384 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
4385 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4387 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
4388 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
4389 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
4390 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
4391 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
4392 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
4393 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
4394 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
4395 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
4396 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
4399 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
4400 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
4403 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
4404 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
4405 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
4406 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
4407 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
4409 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
4412 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
4413 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
4414 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
4417 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
4420 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
4421 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
4422 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
4423 key elements as negative integers.
4426 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
4427 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4430 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
4432 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
4433 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
4434 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
4437 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
4438 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
4439 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
4440 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
4441 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
4444 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
4447 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
4448 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
4449 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
4450 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4452 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
4453 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
4454 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
4456 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
4457 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
4458 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
4459 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
4460 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
4461 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
4462 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
4463 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
4464 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
4466 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
4467 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
4468 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
4469 does not influence s as it used to.
4471 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
4472 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
4473 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
4474 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
4475 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
4476 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
4479 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
4480 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
4481 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
4485 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
4486 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
4487 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
4491 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
4492 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
4493 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
4497 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
4498 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
4501 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
4502 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4507 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
4508 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4510 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
4511 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4513 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
4516 *) Update HPUX configuration.
4519 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
4520 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4522 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
4523 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
4524 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
4528 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
4529 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
4530 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
4531 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
4532 now it really counts the depth.
4535 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
4536 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
4537 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
4538 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
4539 didn't match the private key).
4541 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
4542 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
4543 connection using the SSL_CTX).
4546 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
4549 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
4553 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
4554 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
4555 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
4558 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
4561 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
4562 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
4563 such as /usr/local/bin.
4566 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
4567 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4569 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
4572 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
4573 extension adding in x509 utility.
4576 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
4579 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
4583 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
4586 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
4587 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
4588 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
4589 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
4590 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
4591 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
4592 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
4593 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
4594 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
4595 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
4598 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
4601 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
4602 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
4605 *) Fix some race conditions.
4608 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
4609 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
4612 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
4615 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
4616 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
4617 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
4618 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
4620 *) Fix lots of warnings.
4621 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4623 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
4624 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
4625 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4627 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
4628 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4630 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
4633 *) Fix typos in error codes.
4634 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
4636 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
4639 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
4640 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4642 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
4643 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
4646 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
4647 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
4650 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
4651 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
4654 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
4655 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
4658 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
4659 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
4662 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
4663 support typesafe stack.
4666 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
4667 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
4669 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
4670 old X509V3 handling code.
4673 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
4676 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
4679 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
4682 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
4683 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
4685 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
4686 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
4687 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
4688 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
4689 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
4692 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
4693 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
4694 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
4695 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
4696 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
4698 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
4699 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
4700 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
4701 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4703 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
4704 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
4705 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
4706 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4708 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
4709 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
4710 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
4711 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
4712 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
4713 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
4716 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
4717 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
4720 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
4721 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
4724 *) Tweaks to Configure
4725 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4727 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
4731 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
4734 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
4735 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
4738 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
4739 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
4740 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
4743 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
4746 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
4747 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
4750 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
4751 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
4752 to library startup routines.
4755 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
4756 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
4757 codes along the way.
4760 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
4761 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
4762 objects to objects.h
4765 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
4766 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
4769 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
4770 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
4772 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
4773 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
4774 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
4776 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
4777 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4778 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4780 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
4781 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
4782 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
4785 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
4787 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
4788 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
4791 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
4792 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
4793 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
4794 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
4795 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
4797 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
4798 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
4799 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
4801 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4803 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
4805 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
4807 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
4808 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4810 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
4811 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
4812 if someone would make that last step automatic.
4813 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
4815 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
4818 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
4819 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
4820 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
4821 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
4824 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
4825 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
4826 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
4829 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
4830 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
4831 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
4832 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
4833 installed as `perl').
4834 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4836 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
4837 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4839 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
4840 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
4841 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
4842 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
4843 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
4846 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
4849 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
4850 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
4851 is horrible: I feel ill....
4854 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
4855 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
4856 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
4857 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
4860 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
4861 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4863 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
4864 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
4865 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
4866 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4868 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
4869 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
4870 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
4871 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
4872 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
4873 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
4875 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4877 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
4878 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
4880 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
4881 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
4883 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
4886 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
4887 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
4891 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
4892 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
4893 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
4894 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
4895 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
4896 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
4897 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
4898 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
4899 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
4900 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
4901 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4903 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
4906 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
4907 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
4908 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
4909 for linking it into DSOs.
4910 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4912 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
4916 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
4917 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
4918 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
4919 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
4920 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
4921 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4923 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
4924 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
4925 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
4926 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
4927 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
4928 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
4929 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4931 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
4932 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
4933 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
4937 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
4938 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
4939 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
4940 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
4943 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
4944 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
4945 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
4946 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
4947 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
4951 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
4952 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
4953 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
4954 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
4955 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4957 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
4958 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
4959 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4961 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
4962 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
4964 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
4965 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
4966 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
4967 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
4968 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
4971 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
4972 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
4973 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
4974 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
4975 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
4976 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
4977 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
4980 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
4982 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
4983 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
4986 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
4987 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
4989 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
4990 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
4993 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
4994 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
4995 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
4996 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
4997 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
4999 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
5000 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
5001 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
5002 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
5003 no way to reconfigure them.
5004 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
5005 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
5006 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
5007 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
5008 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
5009 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5011 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
5012 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
5013 recognized by the users.
5014 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5016 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
5017 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
5018 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
5019 already masked variable.
5020 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5022 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
5023 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5025 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
5026 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
5027 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
5028 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5030 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
5031 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
5032 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5034 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
5035 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
5036 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
5037 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
5038 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
5039 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
5040 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
5041 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
5043 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5045 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
5046 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
5047 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5049 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
5050 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
5054 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
5055 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5057 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
5058 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
5059 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
5060 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
5063 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
5066 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
5067 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5069 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
5072 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
5073 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
5076 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
5077 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
5080 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
5081 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
5082 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
5083 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
5084 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
5085 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
5086 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
5089 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
5090 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5092 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
5093 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
5094 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
5095 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
5096 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5098 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
5099 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
5100 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
5103 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
5104 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
5108 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
5109 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
5110 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5112 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
5113 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
5114 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
5118 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
5119 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
5120 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
5121 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
5124 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
5125 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
5126 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
5127 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
5130 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
5131 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
5132 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
5133 so it wasn't spotted.
5134 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
5136 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
5137 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
5138 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
5139 vectors if you have them.
5142 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
5143 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
5146 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
5147 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
5148 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
5149 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
5151 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
5152 it will update them.
5155 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
5156 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
5157 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
5158 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
5159 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
5160 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
5161 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
5162 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5164 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
5165 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
5166 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
5167 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
5168 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
5169 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
5170 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
5171 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
5172 the crypto/md/ stuff).
5173 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5175 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
5176 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
5177 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
5178 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
5179 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
5182 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
5186 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
5187 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5189 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
5190 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5192 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
5193 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
5196 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
5197 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
5199 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
5200 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
5202 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
5205 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
5209 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
5210 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
5211 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
5212 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5214 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5217 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5220 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
5223 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
5224 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
5227 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
5228 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
5232 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
5233 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
5236 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
5237 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
5238 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
5241 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
5242 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
5243 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
5244 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
5245 properly to be processed.
5248 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
5249 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
5250 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
5253 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
5254 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
5256 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
5257 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
5258 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
5259 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
5260 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
5261 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
5262 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
5263 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
5264 or delete all the .err files.
5267 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
5268 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
5269 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
5270 to regenerate it if needed.
5271 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
5272 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
5274 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
5275 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5277 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
5278 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
5279 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
5280 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
5281 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
5284 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
5285 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5287 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
5288 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5290 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
5291 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
5292 error, but didn't set one).
5293 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5295 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
5298 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
5299 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
5302 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
5303 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
5305 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
5306 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
5307 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
5308 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
5309 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
5310 OID is not part of the table.
5313 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
5314 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
5317 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
5320 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
5321 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
5325 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
5326 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
5328 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
5330 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5332 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
5333 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5335 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
5336 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5338 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
5339 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5341 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
5342 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
5345 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
5346 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
5349 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
5350 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5352 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
5353 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5355 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
5356 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5358 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
5359 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5361 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
5362 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
5363 unused in the certificate verification process.
5364 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5366 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
5367 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
5370 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
5371 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
5372 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
5374 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
5375 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
5376 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
5377 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
5378 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
5380 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
5381 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
5384 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
5387 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
5390 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
5391 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
5393 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
5396 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
5399 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
5402 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
5403 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
5404 other error libraries.
5407 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
5410 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
5411 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
5415 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
5416 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
5417 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
5418 the new set of documenation files.
5419 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5421 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
5422 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
5423 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
5424 number of arguments.
5425 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
5427 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
5430 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
5431 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
5432 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5434 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
5437 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
5441 unixware-2.0-pentium
5445 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
5446 before they are needed.
5449 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
5453 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
5455 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
5456 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
5457 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5459 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
5462 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
5463 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
5464 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5466 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
5467 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
5468 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
5470 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
5471 when "ssleay" is still not found.
5472 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5474 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
5475 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
5477 *) Updated the README file.
5478 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5480 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
5481 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
5482 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5484 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
5485 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
5486 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5488 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
5489 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
5490 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
5491 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
5492 o removed obsolete TODO file
5493 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
5494 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5496 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
5497 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
5498 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
5499 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
5500 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
5501 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
5502 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5504 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
5507 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
5508 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
5509 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
5511 [The OpenSSL Project]
5514 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
5516 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
5519 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
5522 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
5523 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
5526 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
5527 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
5531 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
5533 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
5535 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
5538 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
5541 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
5544 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
5547 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
5550 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
5553 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
5556 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
5559 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
5562 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
5565 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
5568 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
5571 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
5574 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
5577 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
5580 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
5583 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
5586 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
5587 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
5588 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5591 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
5592 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
5595 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
5598 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
5601 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
5602 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
5605 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
5608 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
5611 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
5612 bytes sent in the client random.
