5 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
8 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
9 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
10 CRL functionality in future.
12 This work was sponsored by Google.
16 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
18 This work was sponsored by Google.
21 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
22 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
24 This work was sponsored by Google.
27 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
28 and URI types are currently supported.
30 This work was sponsored by Google.
33 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
34 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
35 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
36 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
37 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
38 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
39 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
40 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
42 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
43 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
44 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
46 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
47 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
48 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
49 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
50 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
51 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
52 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
53 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
55 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
57 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
58 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
59 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
61 This work was sponsored by Google.
64 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
67 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
68 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
69 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
72 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
73 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
76 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
77 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
80 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
81 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
82 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
83 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
84 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
85 content types and variants.
88 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
91 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
92 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
93 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
94 files from the associated perl scripts.
97 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
98 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
99 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
101 *) s390x assembler pack.
104 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
108 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
109 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
110 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
111 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
112 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
113 to use. For example, specify an option
115 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
117 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
118 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
119 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
120 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
121 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
122 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
124 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
125 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
126 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
127 return non-zero for success.
129 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
132 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
133 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
137 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
140 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
141 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
142 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
143 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
144 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
145 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
146 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
147 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
148 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
150 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
151 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
152 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
153 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
154 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
155 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
157 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
158 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
159 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
160 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
161 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
162 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
166 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
169 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
171 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
172 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
173 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
176 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
177 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
180 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
181 protection in servers so again support should be possible
182 with no application modification.
184 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
185 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
187 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
188 or server extensions to be examined.
190 This work was sponsored by Google.
193 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
194 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
195 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
197 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
198 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
200 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
202 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
203 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
204 to output in BER and PEM format.
207 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
208 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
209 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
210 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
211 -macopt options to dgst utility.
214 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
215 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
216 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
220 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
221 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
222 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
223 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
224 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
225 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
226 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
227 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
230 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
231 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
232 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
233 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
235 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
236 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
237 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
241 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
242 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
243 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
244 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
245 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
246 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
247 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
248 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
249 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
251 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
252 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
253 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
254 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
255 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
256 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
257 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
258 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
259 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
260 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
261 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
264 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
265 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
266 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
268 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
269 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
273 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
274 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
275 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
278 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
279 it yet and it is largely untested.
282 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
285 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
286 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
287 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
290 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
293 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
294 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
295 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
296 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
299 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
300 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
301 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
302 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
303 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
306 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
307 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
310 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
311 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
312 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
313 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
316 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
317 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
318 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
319 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
322 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
323 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
326 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
327 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
328 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
329 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
332 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
333 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
334 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
337 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
341 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
342 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
345 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
346 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
347 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
351 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
352 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
353 to free up any added signature OIDs.
356 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
357 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
358 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
359 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
362 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
363 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
364 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
365 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
366 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
367 the array representation useful in a more general context.
370 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
371 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
372 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
373 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
374 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
376 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
377 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
378 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
379 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
380 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
383 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
384 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
385 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
386 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
388 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
389 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
390 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
391 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
392 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
398 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
399 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
403 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
404 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
407 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
408 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
411 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
412 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
413 functional reference processing.
416 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
417 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
421 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
422 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
423 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
426 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
427 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
428 application to support multiple signers.
431 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
435 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
436 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
437 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
438 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
439 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
442 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
446 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
447 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
448 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
449 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
453 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
454 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
455 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
456 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
457 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
458 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
459 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
460 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
463 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
464 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
465 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
466 between digests and public key types.
469 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
470 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
471 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
472 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
475 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
476 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
480 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
483 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
487 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
488 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
489 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
490 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
495 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
497 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
499 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
501 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
502 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
503 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
504 functionality for RSA.
507 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
508 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
509 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
512 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
513 key API, doesn't do much yet.
516 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
517 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
518 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
521 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
522 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
525 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
526 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
529 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
530 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
534 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
535 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
536 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
540 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
541 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
542 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
543 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
544 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
545 of public and private key structures.
548 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
549 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
552 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
553 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
554 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
557 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
561 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
562 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
564 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
566 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
568 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
569 and response verification functionality.
570 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
572 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
573 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
574 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
575 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
576 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
577 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
578 server_name extension.
580 New functions (subject to change):
583 SSL_get_servername_type()
586 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
588 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
589 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
590 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
591 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
592 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
594 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
596 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
597 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
598 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
599 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
600 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
601 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
604 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
606 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
609 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
610 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
611 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
612 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
613 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
616 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
617 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
621 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
622 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
623 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
624 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
627 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
628 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
629 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
630 using the maximum available value.
633 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
634 in addition to the text details.
637 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
638 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
639 handle several customised structures at all.
642 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
643 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
644 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
647 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
650 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
651 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
652 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
655 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
656 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
657 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
660 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
661 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
665 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
668 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
671 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [xx XXX xxxx]
673 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
676 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
679 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
681 This work was sponsored by Logica.
684 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
685 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
686 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
688 This work was sponsored by Logica.
691 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
693 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
694 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
695 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
696 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
698 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
699 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
702 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
704 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
705 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
706 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
708 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
710 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
711 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
712 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
713 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
716 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
717 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
718 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
719 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
720 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
721 invalid read after the end of 'db').
722 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
724 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
725 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
726 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
727 sets may exist with different names.
730 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
731 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
732 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
733 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
734 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
735 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
736 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
737 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
738 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
740 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
742 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
743 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
744 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
745 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>, Geoff Thorpe]
747 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
748 uncompresses any data passed through it.
751 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
752 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
755 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
756 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
757 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
758 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
759 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
760 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
764 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
765 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.

785 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
787 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
788 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
789 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
790 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
791 to s_client and s_server.
794 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
797 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
798 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
799 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
800 + Fix ia64 assembler code
801 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
803 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
805 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
806 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
807 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
808 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
809 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
810 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
811 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
812 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
815 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
816 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
817 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
820 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
821 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
822 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
825 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
826 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
829 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
830 protection in servers so again support should be possible
831 with no application modification.
833 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
834 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
836 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
837 or server extensions to be examined.
839 This work was sponsored by Google.
842 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
843 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
844 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
845 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
846 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
847 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
848 server_name extension.
850 New functions (subject to change):
853 SSL_get_servername_type()
856 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
858 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
859 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
860 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
861 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
862 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
864 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
866 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
867 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
868 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
869 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
870 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
871 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
874 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
876 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
879 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
882 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
883 (which previously caused an internal error).
886 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
889 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
890 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
892 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
893 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
894 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
896 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
897 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
898 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
899 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
901 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
902 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
903 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
906 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
907 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
908 information. For detailed background information, see
909 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
910 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
911 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
912 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
913 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
914 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
915 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
916 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
917 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
918 remove a conditional branch.
920 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
921 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
922 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
923 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
924 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
925 remains as a deprecated alias.
927 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
928 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
929 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
930 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
932 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
933 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
934 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
935 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
936 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
937 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
938 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
939 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
941 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
943 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
944 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
945 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
946 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
947 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
948 with applications using a single external cache for quite
949 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
950 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
951 in a different context.
954 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
955 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
956 authentication-only ciphersuites.
959 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
961 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
962 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
963 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
964 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
965 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
968 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
969 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
970 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
971 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
972 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
973 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
976 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
977 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
978 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
979 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
980 message has informed the client about his choice.)
983 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
984 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
986 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
987 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
988 Improve header file function name parsing.
991 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
992 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
995 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
997 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
998 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
999 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1001 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1002 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1004 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1005 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1007 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1008 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1009 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1011 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1012 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1013 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1014 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1015 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1016 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1017 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1018 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1019 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1021 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1022 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1023 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1024 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1025 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1027 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1028 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1029 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1030 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1031 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1032 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1033 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1034 multiple values to extend the available space.
1038 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1040 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1041 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1043 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1046 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1047 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1048 undesirable limitations.
1049 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1051 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1052 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1053 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1054 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1055 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1056 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1057 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1060 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1062 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1063 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1064 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1066 The latter two were purportedly from
1067 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1070 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1071 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1072 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1075 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1076 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1079 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1080 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1081 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1082 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1084 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1085 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1086 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1089 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1090 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1091 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1092 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1093 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1094 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1097 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1099 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1100 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1103 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1104 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1106 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1107 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1108 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1109 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1112 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1113 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1116 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1117 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1118 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1119 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1120 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1121 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1122 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1126 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1127 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1128 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1129 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1132 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1133 under VC++ build system.
1136 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1137 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1140 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1142 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1143 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1144 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1145 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1146 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1148 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1149 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1150 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1152 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1155 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1156 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1159 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1160 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1162 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1165 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1166 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1168 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1169 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1172 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1173 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to

1179 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1182 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1185 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1186 key into the same file any more.
1189 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1192 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1193 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1195 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1196 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1199 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1200 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1201 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1202 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1203 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1204 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1206 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1207 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1208 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1211 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1212 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1213 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1214 - add new function for parameter creation
1215 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1216 BN_BLINDING parameters
1217 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1218 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1219 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1223 *) Add support for DTLS.
1224 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1226 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1227 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1230 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1231 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1234 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1235 the apps/openssl applications.
1238 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1239 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1240 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1243 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1244 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1246 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1247 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1249 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1250 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1251 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1252 avoid this algorithm.)
1256 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1257 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1258 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1261 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1262 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1265 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1266 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1267 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1270 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1272 The blank line is mandatory.
1276 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1277 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1281 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1282 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1284 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1285 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1286 to support policy checking and print out.
1289 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1290 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1291 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1292 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1294 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1297 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1298 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1300 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1301 implementation contributed by IBM.
1302 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1304 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1305 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1306 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1307 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1309 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1310 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1312 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1313 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1314 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1315 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1316 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1317 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1320 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1321 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1322 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1323 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1324 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1325 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1326 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1329 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1332 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1333 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1334 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1335 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1336 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1337 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1338 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1339 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1342 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1343 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1344 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1345 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1348 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1351 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1354 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1355 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1356 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1357 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1358 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1359 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1360 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1363 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1364 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1367 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1368 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1369 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1372 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1373 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1374 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1378 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1379 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1382 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1383 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1384 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1385 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1388 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1389 initialised value as BN_new().
1390 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1392 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1395 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1396 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1397 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1398 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1399 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1400 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1401 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1402 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1403 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1404 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1405 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1406 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1407 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1408 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1409 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1411 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1412 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1413 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1414 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1417 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1418 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1419 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1420 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1421 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1422 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1423 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1424 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1425 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1428 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1429 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1430 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1431 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1432 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1433 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1434 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1437 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1438 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1439 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1440 these have been updated also.
1443 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1444 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1445 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1446 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1447 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1451 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1452 structure of type "other".
1455 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1456 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1457 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1458 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1459 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1460 situation in the script.
1461 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1463 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1464 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1465 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1466 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1467 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1468 used as premaster secret.
1469 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1471 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1472 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1473 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1475 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1476 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1478 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1479 control of the error stack.
1482 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1485 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1486 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1487 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1488 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1491 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1492 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1493 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1496 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1497 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1498 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1502 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1503 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1504 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1505 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1508 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1509 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1510 the following flags are defined:
1512 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1513 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1514 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1517 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1518 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1519 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1520 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1524 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1525 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1526 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1527 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1528 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1531 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1532 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1533 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1536 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1537 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1538 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1539 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1540 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1541 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1544 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1548 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1551 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1554 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1557 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1558 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1559 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1560 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1561 default implementation more easily.
1564 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1568 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1569 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1572 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1573 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1574 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1575 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1577 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1578 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1579 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1580 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1583 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1584 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1588 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1589 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1590 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1591 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1592 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1593 scalar * generator).
1594 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1596 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1597 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1598 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1602 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1603 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1604 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1605 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1606 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1607 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1608 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1609 linker additions, eg;
1610 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1613 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1614 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1615 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1618 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1619 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1620 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1624 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1625 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1626 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1627 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1630 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1631 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1632 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1633 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1634 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1635 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1636 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
1637 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
1638 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
1639 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
1641 Example for using the new callback interface:
1643 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
1647 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
1649 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
1650 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
1651 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
1652 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
1653 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
1654 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
1659 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
1660 available to TLS with the number defined in
1661 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
1664 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
1665 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
1667 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
1668 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1669 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
1670 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
1672 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
1673 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
1675 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
1676 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
1680 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
1681 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
1684 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
1685 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
1686 and a macro that behave like
1687 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
1689 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
1692 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
1693 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
1694 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
1696 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1698 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
1701 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
1702 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
1703 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
1704 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
1706 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
1707 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
1708 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
1709 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
1710 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
1711 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
1712 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
1713 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
1715 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
1716 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
1719 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
1720 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
1722 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
1723 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
1724 files while avoiding the low level API.
1726 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
1727 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
1728 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
1729 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
1731 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
1732 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
1733 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
1734 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
1735 instead of the low level API.
1738 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
1739 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
1740 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
1741 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
1742 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
1745 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
1746 down to the template encoder.
1749 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
1750 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
1753 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
1754 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
1755 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
1756 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1758 *) Add ECDH engine support.
1759 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1761 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
1762 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1764 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
1765 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
1768 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
1769 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
1770 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
1773 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
1774 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
1776 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1777 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1779 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
1780 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
1783 EC_GF2m_simple_method
1787 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
1788 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
1789 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
1790 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1791 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
1792 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
1794 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
1795 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
1798 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
1799 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
1800 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
1801 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
1802 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
1803 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
1804 various internal method names.)
1806 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
1807 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
1809 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1810 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1812 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
1813 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
1815 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
1816 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
1817 methods are undefined.
1819 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1820 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1822 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
1823 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
1824 length of the modulus.
1826 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1827 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1829 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
1830 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
1832 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1833 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1835 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
1836 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
1837 used) in the following functions [macros]:

1850 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
1851 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
1853 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
1854 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
1855 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
1856 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
1857 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
1859 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
1860 This applies to the following functions:

1866 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
1868 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr

1873 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
1878 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
1880 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
1881 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
1882 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
1883 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
1884 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
1886 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
1887 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1889 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
1890 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
1891 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
1893 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
1894 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
1896 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
1897 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
1898 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
1899 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
1900 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1902 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
1904 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
1905 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
1906 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
1907 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
1908 These control ASN1 encoding details:
1909 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
1910 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
1911 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
1912 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
1913 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
1914 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
1915 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
1917 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
1920 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
1921 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
1922 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
1923 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1925 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1926 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1927 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1928 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1933 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1934 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1935 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1936 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1937 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1939 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1940 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1941 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1942 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1943 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1944 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1945 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1946 adding different types of curves.
1947 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1949 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1950 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1951 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1954 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1955 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1957 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1958 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1959 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1960 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1962 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1964 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1965 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1967 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1968 library. Most notably,
1969 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1970 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1971 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1972 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1973 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1974 extracted before the specific public key;
1975 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1976 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1978 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1979 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1981 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1982 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1983 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1984 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1986 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1987 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1988 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1990 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1991 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1992 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1993 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1994 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1995 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1999 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2001 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2002 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2003 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2004 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2005 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2006 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2007 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2008 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2009 in a different context.
2012 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2014 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2016 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2018 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2019 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2020 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2023 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2024 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2025 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2028 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2031 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2032 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2035 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2036 run algorithm test programs.
2039 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2042 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2043 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2044 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2045 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2046 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2049 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2050 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2053 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2055 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2056 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2057 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2059 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2060 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2062 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2063 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2065 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2066 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2067 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2069 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2070 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2071 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2072 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2073 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2074 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2075 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2078 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2080 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2081 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2083 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2084 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2085 undesirable limitations.
2086 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2088 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2090 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2091 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2092 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2094 The latter two were purportedly from
2095 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2098 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2099 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2100 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2103 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2104 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2107 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2109 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2110 module in FIPS mode.
2113 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2116 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2117 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2118 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2119 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2122 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2124 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2125 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2126 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2127 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2128 the difference induced by this change.
2131 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2133 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2134 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2135 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2136 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2137 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2139 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2140 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2141 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2143 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2144 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2147 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2148 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2149 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2150 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2154 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2155 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2156 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2157 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2158 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2160 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2161 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2162 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2163 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2164 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2165 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2167 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2169 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2170 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2171 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2172 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2173 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2176 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2180 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2181 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2182 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2185 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2186 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2187 structures constant.
2190 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2192 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2195 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2196 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2197 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2198 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2199 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2200 some needed definitions.
2203 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2206 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2207 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2208 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2209 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2212 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2214 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2215 server and client random values. Previously
2216 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2217 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2219 This change has negligible security impact because:
2221 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2224 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2227 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2228 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2231 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2234 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2236 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2239 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2240 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2241 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2243 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2246 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2247 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2250 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2251 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2252 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2254 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2257 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2258 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2259 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2263 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2264 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2265 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2266 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2268 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2269 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2270 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2271 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2275 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2277 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2278 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2279 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2280 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2281 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2284 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2287 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2288 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2290 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2291 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2292 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2293 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2294 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2295 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2296 rather than being initialized to 1.
2299 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2301 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2302 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2303 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2305 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2307 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2309 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2310 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2311 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2312 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2313 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2314 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2317 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2318 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2319 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2320 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2321 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2325 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2326 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2327 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2328 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2329 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2332 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2333 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2334 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2338 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2339 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2341 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2344 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2346 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2348 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2349 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2351 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2353 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2354 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2358 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2359 exiting on the first error in a request.
2362 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2363 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2367 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2368 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2369 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2370 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2372 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2373 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2376 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2377 blocks during encryption.
2380 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2381 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2382 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2383 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2387 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2388 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2389 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2390 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2391 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2395 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2397 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2398 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2399 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2400 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2403 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2404 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2405 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2406 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2407 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2409 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2410 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2411 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2412 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2413 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2414 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2415 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2416 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2417 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2420 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2421 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2422 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2423 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2426 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2427 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2430 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2432 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2433 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2434 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2435 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2436 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2438 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2439 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2440 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2442 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2443 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2444 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2445 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2446 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2448 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2449 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2450 used by default when no-err is given.
2453 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2454 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2456 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2457 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2458 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2459 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2460 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2462 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2463 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2464 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2465 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2467 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2469 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2471 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2473 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2474 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2475 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2476 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2480 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2481 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2483 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2484 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2487 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2488 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2489 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2490 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2493 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2494 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2495 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2496 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2497 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2498 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2499 followup to PR #377.
2502 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2503 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2506 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2507 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2508 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
2509 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
2511 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
2513 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
2516 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
2517 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
2518 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
2519 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
2521 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2525 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
2526 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2530 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2531 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2532 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2533 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2534 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2535 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2537 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2538 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2539 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2540 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2541 have to be made anyway).
2544 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2545 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2546 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2549 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2550 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2551 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2554 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2555 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2556 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2558 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
2559 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
2560 edit numbers of the version.
2561 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2563 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
2564 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
2565 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
2567 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
2568 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2570 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2571 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2572 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2574 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
2575 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2577 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
2578 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2580 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
2581 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2583 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
2584 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2586 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
2588 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2590 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
2591 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
2592 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2594 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2595 representations in a platform independent manner.
2596 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2598 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
2599 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
2600 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2602 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
2604 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2606 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
2607 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2609 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
2611 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2613 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
2614 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.

2617 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
2619 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2621 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
2622 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2624 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
2625 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2627 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.

2633 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
2635 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2637 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
2638 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2640 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.

2643 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
2644 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
2646 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2648 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
2649 the 0.9.6 release series:
2651 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2652 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
2654 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2656 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
2659 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
2660 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
2662 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
2663 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
2665 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
2666 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
2667 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
2668 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
2670 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
2671 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
2672 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
2674 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
2675 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
2676 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
2677 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2679 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
2680 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
2681 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
2684 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
2685 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
2686 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
2687 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2688 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
2689 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
2690 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
2691 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
2694 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
2695 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
2696 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
2699 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
2700 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
2701 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
2702 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
2703 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
2705 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
2706 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
2708 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
2709 error in AES-CFB decryption.
2712 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
2713 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
2714 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
2715 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
2716 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
2717 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
2720 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
2721 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
2722 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
2725 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
2726 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
2729 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
2730 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
2731 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
2732 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
2733 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
2734 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
2735 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
2738 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
2739 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
2740 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
2741 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
2742 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
2743 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
2746 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
2747 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
2748 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
2749 declaration has been changed from
2752 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
2753 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
2754 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
2755 has been changed into
2756 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
2758 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
2759 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
2760 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
2762 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
2763 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
2765 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
2766 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
2767 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
2768 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
2769 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
2770 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
2771 always load it have also been added.
2774 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
2775 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
2776 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2778 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
2780 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
2781 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
2782 because it couldn't be used for anything.
2784 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
2785 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
2786 command line option can be used to specify an
2790 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
2791 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
2794 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
2795 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
2796 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
2799 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
2800 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2801 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
2802 to work with the new engine framework.
2803 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
2805 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
2806 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2807 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
2808 to work with the new engine framework.
2811 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
2812 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
2813 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
2815 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
2816 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
2818 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
2819 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
2820 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
2821 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
2823 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2825 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2826 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2828 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
2829 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
2831 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
2832 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
2833 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
2836 *) Add new functions
2838 ERR_peek_last_error_line
2839 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
2840 These are similar to
2843 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
2844 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
2845 still in the error queue.
2846 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
2848 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
2850 default_algorithms = ALL
2851 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
2854 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
2857 *) New experimental application configuration code.
2860 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
2861 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
2862 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
2863 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
2865 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
2866 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
2868 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
2869 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2871 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
2872 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
2875 *) New functions/macros
2877 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
2878 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2879 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
2880 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
2882 to request calling a callback function
2884 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
2885 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
2887 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
2888 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
2889 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
2890 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
2891 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
2892 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
2893 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
2894 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
2895 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
2896 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
2898 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
2899 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
2902 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
2903 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
2904 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
2905 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
2906 the configuration scripts.
2908 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
2909 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
2910 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
2912 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
2913 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2915 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
2916 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
2917 when reusing an existing buffer.
2920 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
2921 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
2924 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
2925 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
2928 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
2929 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
2930 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
2931 has the same effect.
2932 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
2934 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
2935 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
2936 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
2937 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
2938 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
2939 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
2942 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
2943 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
2944 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
2945 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
2947 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
2948 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
2949 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
2950 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
2952 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
2953 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
2956 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
2957 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
2958 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
2959 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
2960 default), and then completely removed.
2963 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
2964 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
2965 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
2966 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
2967 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
2968 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
2969 particular extension is supported.
2972 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
2973 to retain compatibility with existing code.
2976 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
2977 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
2978 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
2979 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
2980 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
2981 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
2982 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
2983 requires the destination to be valid.
2985 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
2986 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
2989 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
2990 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
2991 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
2994 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
2995 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
2997 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
2998 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
2999 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3000 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3001 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3002 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3003 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3004 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3005 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3006 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3007 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3008 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3009 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3010 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3011 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3012 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3013 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3014 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3015 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3019 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3022 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3023 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3024 become part of libeay.num as well.
3027 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3028 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3029 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3030 false once a handshake has been completed.
3031 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3032 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3033 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3034 client has followed the request.)
3037 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3038 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3039 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3040 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3042 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3043 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3044 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3047 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3050 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3051 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3052 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3055 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3056 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3059 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3060 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3061 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3062 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3065 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3066 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3067 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3068 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3069 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3070 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3073 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3074 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3075 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3076 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3077 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3078 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3079 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3080 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3083 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3084 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3087 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3090 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3091 md_data void pointer.
3094 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3095 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3096 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3097 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3098 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3099 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3102 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3103 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3104 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3105 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3106 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3107 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3108 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3109 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3110 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3111 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3112 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3113 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3114 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3115 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3116 rather than letting it slide.
3118 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3119 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3120 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3123 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3124 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3125 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3126 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3127 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3128 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3129 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3130 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3131 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3134 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3135 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3136 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3137 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3138 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3140 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3143 *) Add EVP test program.
3146 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3149 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3150 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3151 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3152 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3153 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3156 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3157 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3158 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3159 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3160 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3161 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3162 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3164 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3165 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3166 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3171 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3172 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3173 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3174 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3175 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3179 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3180 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3181 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3182 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3185 des_key_schedule ks;
3187 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3188 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3190 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3193 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3194 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3195 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3196 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3197 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3198 functions prevents this.
3201 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3204 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3205 correct _ecb suffix.
3208 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3209 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3210 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3211 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3212 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3215 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3218 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3219 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3220 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3221 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3223 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3224 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3226 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3227 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3228 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3229 via Richard Levitte]
3231 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3232 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3233 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3234 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3237 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3240 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3241 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3255 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3256 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3258 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3259 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3260 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3261 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3262 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3263 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3266 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3267 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3270 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3271 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3272 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3273 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3275 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3276 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3277 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3278 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3279 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3280 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3284 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3285 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3286 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3287 and interrupts/cancellations.
3290 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3291 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3294 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3295 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3296 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3298 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3299 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3303 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3304 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3305 than this minimum value is recommended.
3308 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3309 that are easily reachable.
3312 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3313 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3315 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3317 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3318 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3319 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3320 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3323 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3324 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3325 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3328 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3329 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3330 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3331 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3332 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3333 internally such as S/MIME.
3335 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3336 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3337 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3339 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3343 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3344 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3345 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3346 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3348 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3350 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3352 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3353 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3354 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3358 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3359 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3360 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3361 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3362 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3363 a window system and the like.
3366 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3367 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3370 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3371 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3372 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3373 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3374 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3375 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3376 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3377 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3378 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3382 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3383 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3387 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3388 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3389 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3390 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3391 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3392 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3393 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3394 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3397 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3398 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3399 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3400 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3401 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3402 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3403 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3404 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3405 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3406 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3407 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3408 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3409 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3410 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3411 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3412 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3413 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3416 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3417 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3418 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3419 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3420 internal engine_int.h header.
3423 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3424 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3425 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3426 modify their own ones).
3429 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3430 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3431 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3432 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3433 later on via ctrl() commands.
3434 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3435 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3436 structural references.
3437 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3438 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3439 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3440 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3441 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3442 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3443 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3444 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3445 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3446 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3447 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3448 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3451 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3452 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3453 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3454 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3455 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3456 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3457 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3458 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3461 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3462 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3465 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3466 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3469 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3470 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3471 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3472 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3473 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3474 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3475 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3478 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3479 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3480 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3481 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3482 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3484 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3485 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3489 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3491 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3492 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3493 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3495 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3496 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3498 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3499 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3500 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3502 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3503 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3505 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3506 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3508 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3510 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3511 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3512 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3515 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3516 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3519 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3520 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3521 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3522 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3523 is 40 of more characters long.
3526 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3527 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3531 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3532 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3535 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3536 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3540 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3542 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3543 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3546 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3548 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3549 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3550 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3552 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3553 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3555 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3558 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3562 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3563 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3564 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3565 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3567 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3569 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3570 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3572 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3573 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3574 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3575 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3576 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3577 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3579 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3580 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3582 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3583 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3585 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3586 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3588 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3589 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3590 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3591 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3593 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3594 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3596 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3597 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3599 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3600 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3601 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3602 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3603 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3606 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3607 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3608 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3609 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3612 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3613 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3614 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3618 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3619 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3620 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3621 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3622 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3623 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3624 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3625 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3629 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3630 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3633 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3634 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3635 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3636 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
3639 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
3640 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
3641 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
3642 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
3643 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
3644 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
3645 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
3646 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
3647 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
3648 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
3651 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
3652 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
3653 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
3654 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
3655 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
3656 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
3657 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
3658 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3660 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
3661 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
3662 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
3663 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
3666 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
3667 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
3668 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
3669 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
3671 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
3672 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
3673 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
3674 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
3675 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
3679 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
3680 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
3681 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
3682 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
3686 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
3687 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
3688 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
3691 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
3692 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
3693 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
3694 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
3695 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
3698 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
3701 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
3702 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
3703 option to ocsp utility.
3706 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
3707 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
3708 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
3709 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
3710 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
3711 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
3712 the request is nonce-less.
3715 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
3716 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
3717 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
3720 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
3721 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
3722 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
3725 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
3726 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
3727 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
3728 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
3729 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
3732 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
3733 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
3737 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
3738 additional certificates supplied.
3741 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
3742 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
3746 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
3747 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
3750 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
3751 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
3752 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
3753 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
3754 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
3755 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
3756 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
3757 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
3758 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3760 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
3761 request to response.
3764 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
3765 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
3766 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
3767 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
3768 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
3769 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
3770 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
3771 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
3772 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
3773 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
3774 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
3777 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
3778 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
3779 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
3780 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
3783 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
3784 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3786 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
3787 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
3788 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
3791 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
3792 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
3793 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
3794 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3795 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3797 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
3798 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
3799 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
3802 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
3803 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
3804 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
3805 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
3806 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
3807 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
3808 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
3809 <support@securenetterm.com>]
3811 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
3812 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
3813 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
3814 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
3815 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
3816 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
3819 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
3820 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
3821 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
3822 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
3823 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
3824 printout format cleaned up.
3827 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
3828 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
3829 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
3830 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
3831 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
3832 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
3833 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
3834 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
3837 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
3838 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
3839 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
3840 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
3841 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
3842 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
3843 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
3844 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
3847 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
3848 extensions from a separate configuration file.
3849 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
3850 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
3852 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3854 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
3855 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
3856 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
3857 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
3860 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
3861 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
3862 the given serial number (according to the index file).
3863 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
3865 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
3867 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
3868 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
3869 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
3870 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3872 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
3873 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
3875 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
3876 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
3877 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
3880 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
3881 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
3882 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
3885 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
3886 file name and line number information in additional arguments
3887 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
3888 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
3889 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
3890 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
3891 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
3892 functions are provided:
3894 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
3895 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
3896 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
3897 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
3899 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
3900 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
3901 extended allocation function is enabled.
3902 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
3903 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
3904 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
3906 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
3907 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
3908 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
3909 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
3910 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
3913 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
3914 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
3915 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
3917 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
3918 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
3919 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
3922 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
3923 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
3924 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
3925 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
3926 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
3927 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
3928 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
3929 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
3930 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
3933 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
3934 provide utility functions which an application needing
3935 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
3936 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
3937 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
3939 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
3940 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
3941 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
3942 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
3943 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
3944 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
3945 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
3946 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
3947 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
3949 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
3950 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
3951 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
3952 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
3955 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
3956 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
3957 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
3958 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
3959 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
3960 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
3961 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
3962 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
3963 will be added elsewhere.
3966 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
3967 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
3968 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
3969 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
3972 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
3973 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
3974 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
3975 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
3976 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
3977 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
3978 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
3979 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
3980 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
3981 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
3982 to produce the required SET OF.
3985 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
3986 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
3987 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
3990 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
3991 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
3992 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
3993 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
3994 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
3995 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
3998 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
3999 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4000 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4003 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4004 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4005 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4008 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4009 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4010 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4011 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4012 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4015 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4016 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4019 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4020 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4021 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4022 certifcates and CRLs.
4025 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4026 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4027 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4030 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4031 entries for variables.
4034 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4035 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4036 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4037 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4040 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4041 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4042 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4043 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4044 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4045 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4048 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4049 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4051 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4052 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4053 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4056 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4060 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4061 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4062 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4063 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4064 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4065 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4068 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4071 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4072 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4073 for now but they will eventually go away.
4076 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4077 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4078 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4079 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4080 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4081 has also been converted to the new form.
4084 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4085 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4086 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4087 for negative moduli.
4090 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4091 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4094 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4098 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4099 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4100 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4101 type-specific callbacks.
4104 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4106 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4107 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4109 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4110 in sections depending on the subject.
4113 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4117 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4118 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4119 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4120 be handled deterministically).
4121 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4123 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4124 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4125 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4128 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4131 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4132 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4133 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4134 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4135 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4138 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4139 sign of the number in question.
4141 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4143 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4144 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4145 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4146 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4147 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4150 *) New function BN_swap.
4153 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4154 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4155 results on negative inputs.
4158 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4159 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4160 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4163 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4164 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4165 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4166 and add new functions:
4175 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4179 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4181 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4182 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4184 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4185 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4186 be reduced modulo m.

4190 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4191 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4192 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4194 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4195 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4196 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4197 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4198 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4199 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4204 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4205 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4206 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4207 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4208 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4210 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4211 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4212 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4216 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4219 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4220 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4223 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4224 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4225 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4226 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4230 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4233 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4236 *) Add the following functions:
4238 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4240 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4242 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4244 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4245 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4246 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4247 libraries unless it's really needed.
4249 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4250 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4251 declarations (they differed!).
4254 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4257 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4260 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4263 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4264 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4267 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4268 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4269 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4271 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4272 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4275 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4278 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4281 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4284 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4285 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4286 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4288 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4289 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4290 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4291 different shared library filenames on each system.
4294 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4297 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4298 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4299 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4301 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4304 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4305 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4306 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4307 binary backward compatibility.
4308 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4309 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4310 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4314 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4315 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4316 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4317 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4321 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4324 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4325 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4326 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4327 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4331 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4334 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4336 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4337 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4338 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4340 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4342 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4344 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4345 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4348 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4350 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4352 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4353 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4355 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4356 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4360 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client&nbs
