5 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
10 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
13 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
14 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
15 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
16 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
17 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
18 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
22 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
23 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
26 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
27 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
28 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
31 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
32 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
33 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
37 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
38 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
41 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
42 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
43 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
44 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
47 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
48 initialised value as BN_new().
49 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
51 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
54 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
55 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
56 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
57 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
58 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
59 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
60 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
61 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
62 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
63 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
64 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
65 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
66 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
67 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
68 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
70 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
71 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
72 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
73 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
76 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
77 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
78 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
79 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
80 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
81 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
82 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
83 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
84 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
87 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
88 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
89 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
90 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
91 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
92 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
93 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
96 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
97 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
98 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
99 these have been updated also.
102 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
103 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
104 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
105 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
106 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
110 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
111 structure of type "other".
114 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
115 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
116 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
117 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
118 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
119 situation in the script.
120 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
122 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
123 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
124 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
125 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
126 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
127 used as premaster secret.
128 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
130 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
131 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
132 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
134 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
135 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
137 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
138 control of the error stack.
141 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
144 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
145 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
146 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
147 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
150 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
151 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
152 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
155 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
156 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
157 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
161 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
162 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
163 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
164 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
167 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
168 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
169 the following flags are defined:
171 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
172 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
173 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
176 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
177 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
178 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
179 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
183 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
184 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
185 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
186 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
187 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
190 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
191 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
192 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
195 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
196 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
197 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
198 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
199 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
200 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
203 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
207 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
210 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
213 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
216 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
217 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
218 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
219 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
222 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
223 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
224 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
225 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
226 default implementation more easily.
229 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
233 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
234 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
237 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
238 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
239 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
240 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
242 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
243 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
244 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
248 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
249 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
253 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
254 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
255 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
256 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
257 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
259 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
261 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
262 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
263 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
267 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
268 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
269 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
270 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
271 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
272 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
273 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
274 linker additions, eg;
275 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
278 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
279 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
280 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
283 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
284 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
285 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
289 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
290 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
291 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
292 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
295 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
296 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
297 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
298 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
299 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
300 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
301 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
302 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
303 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
304 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
306 Example for using the new callback interface:
308 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
312 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
314 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
315 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
316 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
317 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
318 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
319 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
324 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
325 available to TLS with the number defined in
326 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
329 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
330 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
332 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
333 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
334 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
335 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
337 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
338 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
340 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
341 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
345 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
346 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
349 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating new macros that behave like
352 void BN_set_sign(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
353 int BN_get_sign(const BIGNUM *a);
355 and avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
356 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
358 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
359 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
360 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
362 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
364 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
367 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
368 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
369 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
370 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
372 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
373 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
374 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
375 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
376 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
377 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
378 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
379 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
381 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
382 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
385 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
386 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
388 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
389 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
390 files while avoiding the low level API.
392 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
393 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
394 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
395 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
397 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
398 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
399 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
400 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
401 instead of the low level API.
404 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
405 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
406 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
407 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
408 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
411 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
412 down to the template encoder.
415 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
416 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
419 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
420 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
421 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
422 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
424 *) Add ECDH engine support.
425 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
427 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
428 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
430 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
431 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
434 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
435 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
436 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
439 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
440 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
442 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
443 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
445 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
446 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
449 EC_GF2m_simple_method
453 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
454 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
455 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
456 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
457 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
458 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
460 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
461 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
464 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
465 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
466 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
467 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
468 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
469 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
470 various internal method names.)
472 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
473 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
475 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
476 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
478 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
479 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
481 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
482 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
483 methods are undefined.
485 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
486 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
488 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
489 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
490 length of the modulus.
492 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
493 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
495 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
496 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
498 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
499 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
501 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
502 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
503 used) in the following functions [macros]:
506 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
507 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
508 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
509 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
511 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
512 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
513 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
514 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
516 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
517 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
519 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
520 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
521 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
522 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
523 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
525 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
526 This applies to the following functions:
531 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
532 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
535 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
539 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
544 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
546 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
547 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
548 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
549 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
550 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
552 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
553 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
555 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
556 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
557 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
559 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
560 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
562 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
563 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
564 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
565 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
566 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
568 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
570 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
571 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
572 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
573 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
574 These control ASN1 encoding details:
575 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
576 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
577 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
578 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
579 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
580 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
581 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
583 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
587 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
588 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
589 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
591 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
592 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
593 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
594 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
601 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
602 EC_POINT_oct2point().
603 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
605 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
606 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
607 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
609 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
610 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
611 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
612 adding different types of curves.
613 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
615 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
616 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
617 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
620 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
621 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
623 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
624 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
625 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
626 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
628 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
630 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
631 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
633 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
634 library. Most notably,
635 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
636 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
637 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
638 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
639 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
640 extracted before the specific public key;
641 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
642 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
644 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
645 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
647 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(),
648 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
649 EC_get_builtin_curves().
650 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
654 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
656 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
657 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
658 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
659 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
660 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
661 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
665 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [xx XXX XXXX]
667 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
668 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
669 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
670 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
671 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
675 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
676 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
677 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
678 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
679 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
682 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
683 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
684 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
688 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
689 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
691 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
694 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
696 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
698 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
699 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
701 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CAN-2003-0545).
703 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
704 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
708 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
709 exiting on the first error in a request.
712 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
713 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
717 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
718 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
719 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
720 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
722 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
723 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
726 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
727 blocks during encryption.
730 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
731 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
732 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
733 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
737 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
738 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
739 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
740 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
741 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
745 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
747 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
748 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
749 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
750 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
753 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
754 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
755 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
756 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
757 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
759 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
760 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
761 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
762 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
763 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
764 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
765 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
766 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
767 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
770 yet to be integrated into this CVS branch:
771 - Geoff's ENGINE_set_default() fix
773 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
774 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
777 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
779 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
780 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
781 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
782 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
783 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
785 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
786 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
787 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
789 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
790 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
791 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
792 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
793 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
795 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
796 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
797 used by default when no-err is given.
800 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
801 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
803 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
804 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
805 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
806 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
807 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
809 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
810 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
811 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
812 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
814 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
816 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
818 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
820 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
821 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
822 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
823 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
827 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
828 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
830 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
831 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
834 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
835 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
836 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
837 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
840 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
841 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
842 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
843 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
844 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
845 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
849 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
850 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
853 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
854 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
855 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
856 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
858 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
860 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
863 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
864 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
865 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
866 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
868 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
872 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
873 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
877 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
878 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
879 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
880 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
881 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
882 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
884 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
885 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
886 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
887 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
888 have to be made anyway).
891 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
892 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
893 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
896 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
897 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
898 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
901 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
902 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
903 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
905 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
906 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
907 edit numbers of the version.
908 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
910 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
911 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
912 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
914 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
917 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
918 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
921 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
924 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
927 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
930 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
933 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
937 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
938 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
941 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
942 representations in a platform independent manner.
945 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
946 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
949 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
953 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
956 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
960 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
961 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
964 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
968 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
971 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
974 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
977 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
980 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
984 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
987 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
990 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
991 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
995 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
996 the 0.9.6 release series:
998 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
999 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1001 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1003 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1006 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1007 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1009 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1010 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1012 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1013 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1014 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1015 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1017 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1018 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1019 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1021 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1022 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1023 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1024 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1026 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1027 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1028 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1031 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1032 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1033 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1034 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1035 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1036 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1037 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1038 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1041 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1042 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1043 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1046 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1047 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1048 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1049 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1050 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1052 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1053 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1055 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1056 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1059 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1060 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1061 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1062 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1063 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1064 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1067 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1068 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1069 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1072 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1073 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1076 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1077 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1078 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1079 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1080 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1081 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1082 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1085 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1086 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1087 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1088 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1089 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1090 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1093 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1094 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1095 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1096 declaration has been changed from
1099 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1100 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1101 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1102 has been changed into
1103 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1105 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1106 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1107 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1109 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1110 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1112 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1113 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1114 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1115 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1116 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1117 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1118 always load it have also been added.
1121 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1122 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1123 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1125 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1127 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1128 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1129 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1131 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1132 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1133 command line option can be used to specify an
1137 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1138 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1141 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1142 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1143 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1146 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1147 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1148 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1149 to work with the new engine framework.
1150 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1152 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1153 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1154 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1155 to work with the new engine framework.
1158 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1159 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1160 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1162 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1163 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1165 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1166 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1167 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1168 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1170 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1172 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1173 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1175 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1176 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1178 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1179 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1180 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1183 *) Add new functions
1185 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1186 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1187 These are similar to
1190 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1191 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1192 still in the error queue.
1193 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1195 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1197 default_algorithms = ALL
1198 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1201 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1204 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1207 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1208 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1209 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1210 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1212 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1213 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1215 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1216 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1218 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1219 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1222 *) New functions/macros
1224 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1225 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1226 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1227 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1229 to request calling a callback function
1231 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1232 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1234 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1235 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1236 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1237 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1238 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1239 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1240 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1241 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1242 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1243 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1245 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1246 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1249 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1250 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1251 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1252 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1253 the configuration scripts.
1255 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1256 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1257 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1259 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1260 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1262 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1263 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1264 when reusing an existing buffer.
1267 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1268 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1271 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1272 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1275 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1276 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1277 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1278 has the same effect.
1279 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1281 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1282 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1283 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1284 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1285 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1286 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1289 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1290 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1291 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1292 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1294 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1295 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1296 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1297 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1299 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1300 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1303 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1304 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1305 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1306 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1307 default), and then completely removed.
1310 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1311 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1312 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1313 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1314 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1315 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1316 particular extension is supported.
1319 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1320 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1323 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1324 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1325 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1326 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1327 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1328 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1329 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1330 requires the destination to be valid.
1332 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1333 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1336 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1337 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1338 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1341 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1342 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1344 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1345 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1346 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1347 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1348 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1349 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1350 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1351 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1352 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1353 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1354 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1355 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1356 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1357 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1358 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1359 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1360 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1361 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1362 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1366 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1369 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1370 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1371 become part of libeay.num as well.
1374 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1375 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1376 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1377 false once a handshake has been completed.
1378 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1379 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1380 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1381 client has followed the request.)
1384 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1385 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1386 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1387 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1389 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1390 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1391 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1394 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1397 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1398 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1399 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1402 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1403 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1406 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1407 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1408 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1409 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1412 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1413 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1414 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1415 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1416 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1417 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1420 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1421 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1422 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1423 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1424 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1425 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1426 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1427 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1430 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1431 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1434 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1437 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1438 md_data void pointer.
1441 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1442 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1443 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1444 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1445 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1446 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1449 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1450 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1451 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1452 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1453 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1454 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1455 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1456 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1457 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1458 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1459 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1460 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1461 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1462 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1463 rather than letting it slide.
1465 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1466 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1467 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1470 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1471 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1472 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1473 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1474 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1475 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1476 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1477 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1478 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1481 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1482 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1483 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1484 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1485 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1487 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1490 *) Add EVP test program.
1493 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1496 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1497 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1498 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1499 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1500 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1503 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1504 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1505 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1506 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1507 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1508 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1509 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1511 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1512 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1513 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1518 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1519 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1520 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1521 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1522 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1526 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1527 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1528 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1529 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1532 des_key_schedule ks;
1534 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1535 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1537 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1540 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1541 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1542 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1543 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1544 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1545 functions prevents this.
1548 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1551 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1552 correct _ecb suffix.
1555 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1556 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1557 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1558 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1559 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1562 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1565 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1566 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1567 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1568 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1570 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1571 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1573 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1574 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1575 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1576 via Richard Levitte]
1578 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1579 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1580 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1581 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1584 *) Speed up EVP routines.
1587 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

1602 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1603 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1605 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1606 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1607 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1608 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1609 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1610 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1613 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1614 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1617 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1618 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1619 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1620 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1622 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1623 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1624 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1625 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1626 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1627 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1631 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1632 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1633 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1634 and interrupts/cancellations.
1637 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1638 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1641 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1642 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1643 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1645 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1646 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1650 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1651 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1652 than this minimum value is recommended.
1655 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1656 that are easily reachable.
1659 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1660 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1662 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1664 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1665 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1666 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1667 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1670 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1671 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1672 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1675 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1676 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1677 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1678 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1679 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1680 internally such as S/MIME.
1682 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1683 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1684 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1686 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1690 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1691 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1692 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1693 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1695 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1697 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1699 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1700 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1701 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1705 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1706 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1707 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1708 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1709 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1710 a window system and the like.
1713 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1714 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1717 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1718 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1719 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1720 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1721 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1722 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1723 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1724 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1725 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1729 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1730 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1734 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1735 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1736 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1737 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1738 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1739 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1740 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1741 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1744 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1745 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1746 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1747 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1748 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1749 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1750 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1751 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1752 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1753 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1754 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1755 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1756 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1757 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1758 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1759 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1760 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1763 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1764 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1765 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1766 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1767 internal engine_int.h header.
1770 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1771 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1772 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1773 modify their own ones).
1776 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1777 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1778 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1779 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1780 later on via ctrl() commands.
1781 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1782 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1783 structural references.
1784 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1785 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1786 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1787 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1788 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1789 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1790 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1791 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1792 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1793 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1794 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1795 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1798 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1799 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1800 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1801 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1802 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1803 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1804 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1805 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1808 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1809 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1812 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1813 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1816 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1817 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1818 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1819 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1820 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1821 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1822 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1825 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1826 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1827 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1828 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1829 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1831 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1832 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1836 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1838 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1839 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1840 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1842 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1843 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1845 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1846 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1847 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1849 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1850 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1852 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1853 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1855 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1857 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1858 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1859 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1862 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1863 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1866 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1867 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1868 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1869 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1870 is 40 of more characters long.
1873 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1874 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1878 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1879 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1882 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1883 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1887 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1889 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1890 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1893 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1895 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1896 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1897 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1899 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1900 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1902 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1905 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1909 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1910 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1911 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1912 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1914 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1916 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1917 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1919 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1920 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1921 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1922 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1923 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1924 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1926 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1927 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1929 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1930 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1932 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1933 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1935 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1936 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1937 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1938 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1940 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1941 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1943 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1944 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1946 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1947 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1948 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1949 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1950 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1953 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1954 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1955 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1956 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1959 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1960 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1961 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1965 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1966 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1967 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1968 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1969 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1970 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1971 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1972 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1976 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1977 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1980 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1981 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1982 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1983 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1986 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1987 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1988 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1989 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1990 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1991 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1992 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1993 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1994 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1995 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1998 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1999 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2000 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2001 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2002 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2003 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2004 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2005 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2007 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2008 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2009 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2010 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2013 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2014 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2015 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2016 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2018 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2019 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2020 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2021 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2022 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2026 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2027 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2028 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2029 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2033 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2034 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2035 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2038 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2039 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2040 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2041 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2042 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2045 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2048 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2049 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2050 option to ocsp utility.
2053 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2054 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2055 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2056 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2057 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2058 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2059 the request is nonce-less.
2062 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2063 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2064 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2067 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2068 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2069 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2072 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2073 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2074 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2075 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2076 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2079 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2080 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2084 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2085 additional certificates supplied.
2088 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2089 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2093 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2094 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2097 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2098 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2099 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2100 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2101 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2102 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2103 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2104 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2105 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2107 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2108 request to response.
2111 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2112 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2113 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2114 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2115 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2116 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2117 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2118 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2119 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2120 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2121 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2124 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2125 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2126 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2127 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2130 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2131 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2133 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2134 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2135 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2138 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2139 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2140 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2141 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2142 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2144 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2145 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2146 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2149 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2150 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2151 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2152 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2153 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2154 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2155 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2156 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2158 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2159 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2160 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2161 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2162 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2163 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2166 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2167 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2168 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2169 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2170 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2171 printout format cleaned up.
2174 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2175 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2176 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2177 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2178 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2179 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2180 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2181 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2184 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2185 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2186 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2187 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2188 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2189 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2190 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2191 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2194 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2195 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2196 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2197 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2199 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2201 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2202 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2203 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2204 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2207 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2208 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2209 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2210 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2212 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2214 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2215 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2216 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2217 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2219 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2220 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2222 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2223 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2224 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2227 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2228 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2229 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2232 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2233 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2234 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2235 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2236 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2237 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2238 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2239 functions are provided:
2241 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2242 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2243 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2244 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2246 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2247 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2248 extended allocation function is enabled.
2249 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2250 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2251 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2253 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2254 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2255 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2256 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2257 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2260 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2261 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2262 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2264 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2265 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2266 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2269 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2270 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2271 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2272 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2273 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2274 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2275 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2276 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2277 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2280 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2281 provide utility functions which an application needing
2282 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2283 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2284 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2286 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2287 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2288 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2289 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2290 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2291 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2292 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2293 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2294 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2296 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2297 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2298 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2299 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2302 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2303 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2304 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2305 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2306 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2307 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2308 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2309 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2310 will be added elsewhere.
2313 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2314 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2315 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2316 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2319 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2320 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2321 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2322 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2323 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2324 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2325 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2326 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2327 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2328 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2329 to produce the required SET OF.
2332 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2333 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2334 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2337 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2338 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2339 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2340 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2341 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2342 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2345 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2346 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2347 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2350 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2351 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2352 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2355 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2356 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2357 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2358 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2359 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2362 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2363 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2366 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2367 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2368 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2369 certifcates and CRLs.
2372 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2373 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2374 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2377 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2378 entries for variables.
2381 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2382 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2383 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2384 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2387 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2388 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2389 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2390 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2391 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2392 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2395 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2396 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2398 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2399 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2400 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2403 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2407 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2408 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2409 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2410 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2411 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2412 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2415 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2418 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2419 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2420 for now but they will eventually go away.
2423 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2424 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2425 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2426 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2427 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2428 has also been converted to the new form.
2431 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2432 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2433 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2434 for negative moduli.
2437 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2438 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2441 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2445 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2446 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2447 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2448 type-specific callbacks.
2451 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2453 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2454 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2456 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2457 in sections depending on the subject.
2460 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2464 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2465 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2466 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2467 be handled deterministically).
2468 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2470 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2471 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2472 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2475 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2478 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2479 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2480 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2481 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2482 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2485 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2486 sign of the number in question.
2488 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2490 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2491 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2492 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2493 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2494 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2497 *) New function BN_swap.
2500 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2501 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2502 results on negative inputs.
2505 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2506 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2507 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2510 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2511 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2512 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2513 and add new functions:
2522 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2526 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2528 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2529 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2531 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2532 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2533 be reduced modulo m.
2534 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2537 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2538 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2539 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2541 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2542 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2543 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2544 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2545 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2546 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2551 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2552 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2553 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2554 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2555 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2557 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2558 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2559 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2563 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2566 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2567 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2570 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2571 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2572 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2573 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2577 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2580 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2583 *) Add the following functions:
2585 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2587 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2589 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2591 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2592 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2593 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2594 libraries unless it's really needed.
2596 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2597 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2598 declarations (they differed!).
2601 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2604 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2607 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2610 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2611 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2614 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2615 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2616 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2618 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2619 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2622 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2625 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2628 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2631 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2632 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2633 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2635 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2636 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2637 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2638 different shared library filenames on each system.
2641 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2644 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2645 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2646 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2648 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2651 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2652 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2653 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2654 binary backward compatibility.
2655 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2656 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2657 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2661 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2662 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2663 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2664 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2668 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2671 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2672 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2673 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2674 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2678 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2681 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
2683 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2685 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2686 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2688 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2689 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2693 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2695 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2696 invalid tags (CAN-2003-0543 and CAN-2003-0544).
2698 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2699 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2703 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2704 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2708 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2709 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2710 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2711 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2713 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2714 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2717 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
2719 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2720 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2721 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2722 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2725 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2726 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2727 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2728 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2729 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2731 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2732 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2733 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2734 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2735 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2736 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2737 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2738 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2739 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2742 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
2744 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2745 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2746 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2747 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2748 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
2750 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2751 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2752 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2754 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
2756 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
2757 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
2758 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
2759 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
2760 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
2761 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
2764 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
2765 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
2766 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
2767 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
2768 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
2771 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
2772 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
2773 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
2775 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
2776 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
2777 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
2781 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
2782 being properly terminated.
2785 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
2786 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
2787 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
2788 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
2790 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
2791 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
2792 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
2793 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
2794 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
2795 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
2796 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
2798 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
2800 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
2801 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
2804 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
2805 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
2806 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
2807 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
2808 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
2809 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
2810 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
2811 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
2813 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
2814 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
2815 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
2816 (see [openssl.org #212]).
2817 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2819 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
2820 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
2823 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
2825 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
2826 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
2827 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
2829 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
2831 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
2832 and get fix the header length calculation.
2833 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
2834 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
2837 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
2838 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
2839 assertions could call abort()).
2840 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
2842 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
2844 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2845 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2846 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2848 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2850 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
2851 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
2852 by the selection routines (PR #130).
2855 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
2859 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
2860 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
2861 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
2863 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
2864 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
2865 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
2866 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
2867 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
2871 *) Changes in security patch:
2873 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
2874 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
2875 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
2878 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2879 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2880 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2881 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
2882 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2884 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
2886 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2888 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
2889 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
2890 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
2892 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2893 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
2894 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2896 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
2897 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
2898 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2900 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
2902 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
2903 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
2904 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
2906 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
2907 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2909 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2910 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2911 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2912 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2913 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2914 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2917 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2918 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2919 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2920 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2923 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2926 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2927 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2928 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2929 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2930 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2931 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2933 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2934 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2935 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2936 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2937 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2940 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2941 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2942 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2943 BN_generate_prime().)
2945 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2946 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2947 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2951 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2952 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2955 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2956 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2957 when using non-blocking I/O.
2958 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2960 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2961 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2963 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2964 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2967 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2968 configuration for the versions before that.
2969 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2971 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2972 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2973 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2974 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2977 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2978 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2979 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2982 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2986 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2987 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2988 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2990 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2991 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2993 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2994 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2995 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2996 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2997 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2998 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2999 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3002 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3003 using a local variable.
3004 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3006 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3007 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3008 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3010 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3013 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3014 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3016 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3017 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3018 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3020 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3022 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3023 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3024 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3025 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3028 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3032 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3033 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3034 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3035 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3036 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3038 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3039 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3040 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3042 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3043 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3044 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3046 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3047 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3048 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3049 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3051 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3052 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3053 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3055 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3057 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3058 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3060 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3062 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3063 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3064 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3065 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3067 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3068 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3069 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3070 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3072 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3073 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3075 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3076 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3077 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3080 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3081 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3082 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3084 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3086 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3087 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3088 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3089 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3090 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3091 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3092 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3095 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3096 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3097 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3098 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3100 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3101 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3102 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3103 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3104 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3105 the client will at least see that alert.
3108 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3112 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3113 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3114 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3116 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3117 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3118 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3119 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3122 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3123 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3124 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3126 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3127 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3128 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3129 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3130 may leak via logfiles.)
3132 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3133 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3134 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3135 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3139 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3140 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3143 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3144 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3145 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3146 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3147 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3150 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3151 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3153 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3154 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3155 followed by modular reduction.
3156 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3158 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3159 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3162 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3163 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3164 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3165 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3168 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3171 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3172 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3175 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3176 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3177 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3178 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3179 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3180 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3182 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3184 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3185 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3186 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3187 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3188 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3190 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3193 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3194 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3195 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3196 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3197 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3198 to allow the necessary settings.
3201 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3202 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3203 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3204 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3207 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3208 dh->length and always used
3210 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3212 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3213 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3214 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3215 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3216 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3221 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3223 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3229 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3230 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3231 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3232 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3234 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3235 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3236 always reject numbers >= n.
3239 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3240 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3241 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3242 variable) is not atomic.
3245 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3246 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3247 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3248 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3250 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3251 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3253 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3255 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3257 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3260 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3262 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3263 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3264 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3265 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3266 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3267 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3268 to traverse all of 'state'.
3270 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3271 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3272 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3274 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3275 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3277 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3278 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3279 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3280 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3281 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3282 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3283 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3284 further strengthens the PRNG.
3287 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3290 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3291 an error message in this case.
3294 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3297 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3298 positive and less than q.
3301 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3302 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3304 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3306 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3307 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3311 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3313 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3314 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3315 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3316 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3317 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3318 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3319 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3322 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3323 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3324 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3325 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3327 Both problems are now fixed.
3330 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3331 (previously it was 1024).
3334 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3335 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3338 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3341 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3342 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3343 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3346 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3347 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3348 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3349 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3350 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3351 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3352 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3353 environment variables.
3355 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3356 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3357 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3360 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3361 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3362 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3363 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3364 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3365 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3368 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3372 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3374 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3375 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3377 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3378 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3379 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3380 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3384 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3385 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3386 amount of data available.
3387 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3388 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3390 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3391 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3392 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3393 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3396 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3397 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3401 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3402 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3403 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3404 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3407 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3410 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3413 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3414 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3416 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3418 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3419 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3420 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3421 (but broken) behaviour.
3424 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3426 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3428 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3429 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3432 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3436 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3437 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3439 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3442 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3443 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3444 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3446 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3447 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3448 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3451 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3452 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3455 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3456 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3458 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3460 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3462 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3463 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3464 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3465 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3468 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3471 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3472 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3473 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3475 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3478 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3480 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3481 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3482 but the code is actually correct.
3485 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3486 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3487 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3488 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3489 and leaves the highest bit random.
3490 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3492 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3493 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3494 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3495 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3496 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3497 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3498 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3501 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3504 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3505 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3508 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3509 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3510 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3511 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3515 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3516 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3517 and break the signature.
3519 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3521 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3525 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3526 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3527 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3528 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3529 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3532 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3533 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3535 *) ./config script fixes.
3536 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3538 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3541 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3542 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3543 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3544 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3545 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3547 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3548 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3551 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3552 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3555 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3556 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3557 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3558 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3560 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3561 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3563 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3564 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3565 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3566 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3567 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3569 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3572 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3575 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3578 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3581 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3582 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3585 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3586 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3587 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3588 result of the server certificate verification.)
3591 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3592 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3593 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3597 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3598 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3599 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3600 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3601 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3602 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3603 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3604 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3607 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3608 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3609 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3610 happening the other way round.
3613 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3614 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3617 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3618 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3619 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3620 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3623 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3624 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3626 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3628 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3629 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3630 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3633 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3635 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3637 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3641 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3643 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3644 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3645 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3646 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3647 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3649 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3650 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3654 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3657 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3659 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3660 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3661 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3662 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3663 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3664 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3665 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3666 by the Finished messages.
3669 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3670 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3672 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3673 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3674 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3675 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3676 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3680 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3681 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3682 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3683 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3684 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3685 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3686 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3687 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3688 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3692 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3693 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3694 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3695 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3697 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3698 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3699 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3700 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3701 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3704 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3705 been tested well enough.
3708 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3709 it can return incorrect results.
3710 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3711 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3714 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3715 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3716 include zero length content when signing messages.
3719 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
3720 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
3723 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
3726 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
3730 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
3731 packages. The default package contains applications, application
3732 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
3733 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
3734 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
3735 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
3738 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
3739 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3741 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
3742 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
3744 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
3745 random number < q in the DSA library.
3748 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
3749 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
3750 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
3751 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
3752 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
3753 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
3754 just makes things more complicated.)
3757 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
3761 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
3762 work better on such systems.
3763 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3765 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
3766 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
3767 keyid to the certificates aux info.
3770 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
3771 if there was more than one signature.
3772 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
3774 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
3775 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
3776 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
3777 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
3780 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
3781 rather than always using the current time.
3784 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
3785 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
3786 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
3787 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
3788 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
3789 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
3791 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
3792 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
3794 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
3796 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
3797 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
3798 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
3799 the same hash value.
3801 As a result various functions (which were all internal
3802 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
3803 structure. This will break anything that messed round
3804 with X509_STORE internally.
3806 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
3807 exact match, rather than just subject name.
3809 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
3810 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
3811 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
3812 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
3813 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
3814 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
3815 entirely (maybe later...).
3817 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
3819 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
3820 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
3821 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
3822 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
3823 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
3824 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
3825 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
3826 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
3828 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
3829 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3831 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
3832 to customise the verify behaviour.
3835 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
3836 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
3839 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
3840 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
3841 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
3842 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
3843 request is improperly encoded.
3846 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
3847 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
3850 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
3851 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
3853 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
3854 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
3858 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
3859 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
3860 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
3863 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
3864 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
3865 BIO/fp routines also added.
3868 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
3869 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
3871 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
3872 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
3873 demos/state_machine.
3876 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
3877 generation and verification.
3880 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
3881 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
3882 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
3883 encode and decode it manually.
3886 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
3888 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
3890 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3891 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
3892 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
3893 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
3895 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
3896 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
3897 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
3898 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
3899 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
3902 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
3905 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
3906 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
3907 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3909 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3910 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3911 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3912 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3913 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3914 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3915 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3916 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3918 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3919 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3921 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3923 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3924 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3925 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3929 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3930 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3931 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3932 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3936 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3938 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3941 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3942 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3943 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3944 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3945 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3946 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3947 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3948 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3949 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3950 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3951 short or long names are found.
3954 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3955 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3957 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3958 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3959 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3960 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3962 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3963 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3964 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3965 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3968 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3969 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3970 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3973 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3974 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3975 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3976 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3977 to allow the various flags to be set.
3980 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3981 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3982 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3983 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3984 dates to be checked.
3987 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3988 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3989 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3992 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3993 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3994 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3997 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3998 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4001 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4002 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4003 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4004 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4005 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4006 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4009 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4010 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4014 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4018 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4019 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4020 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4021 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4022 form signing output easier to verify.
4025 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4028 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4029 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4030 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4031 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4032 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4033 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4034 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4035 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4036 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4037 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4040 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4042 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4043 the syntax given in objects.README.
4044 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4046 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4049 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4050 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4051 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4052 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4053 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4054 consistent name changes.
4057 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4060 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4061 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4062 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4063 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4066 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4067 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4068 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4072 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4073 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4074 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4075 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4078 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4079 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4080 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4081 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4082 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4083 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4084 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4085 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4086 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4087 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4088 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4091 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4092 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4093 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4094 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4095 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4096 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4097 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4098 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4099 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4100 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4103 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4104 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4105 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4106 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4108 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4109 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4110 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4111 omit any duplicate addresses.
4114 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4115 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4118 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4119 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4120 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4121 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4122 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4125 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
4127 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
4128 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4129 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4130 Free => OPENSSL_free
4133 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4134 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4137 *) CygWin32 support.
4138 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4140 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4141 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4142 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4143 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4144 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4148 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4149 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4150 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4151 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4152 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4153 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4154 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4157 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4158 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4159 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4160 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4161 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4162 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4163 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4164 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4165 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4166 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4167 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4170 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4171 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4172 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4173 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4174 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4176 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4177 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4178 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4179 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4180 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4182 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4185 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4186 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4187 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4188 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4190 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4192 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4195 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4196 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4197 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4200 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4201 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4202 any installed hardware versions can.
4205 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4206 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4207 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4211 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4212 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4213 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4214 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4215 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4217 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4218 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4221 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4222 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4225 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4226 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4227 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4231 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4234 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4235 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4236 but no ssl client purpose.
4237 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4239 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4240 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4241 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4242 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4243 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4244 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4245 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4246 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4247 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4248 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4249 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4252 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4253 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4254 be obtained from the error queue.
4257 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4258 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4259 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4260 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4263 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4266 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4267 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4268 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4269 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4270 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4273 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4274 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4275 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4276 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4277 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4280 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4281 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4282 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4284 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4286 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4287 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4288 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4289 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4290 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4291 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4292 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4293 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4294 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4295 or "the configuration storage API"...
4297 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4299 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4300 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4302 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4304 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4306 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4307 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4308 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4309 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4310 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4311 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4312 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4314 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4315 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4318 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4319 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4320 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4321 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4324 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4325 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4326 them in a portable way.
4327 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4329 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4331 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4333 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4334 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4336 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4337 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4338 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4341 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4342 was larger than the MD block size.
4343 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4345 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4346 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4347 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4348 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4352 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4353 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4354 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4356 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4358 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4360 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4361 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4362 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4363 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4364 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4365 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4367 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4368 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4370 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4371 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4374 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4377 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4378 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4380 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4381 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4382 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4383 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4386 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4387 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4388 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4389 does not suppress any output.
4392 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4393 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4394 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4395 with all the associated security issues.
4397 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4398 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4399 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4400 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4401 use the value in the default purpose.
4404 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4405 and fix a memory leak.
4408 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4409 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4410 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4411 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4414 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4415 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4416 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4417 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4420 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4421 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4422 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4425 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4426 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4429 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4430 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4434 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4435 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4438 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4439 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4440 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4443 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4444 number generation fails.
4447 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4450 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4451 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4453 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4456 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4457 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4459 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4460 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4462 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4464 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4465 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4468 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4469 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4471 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4472 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4475 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4476 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4477 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4478 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4479 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4480 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4482 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4483 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4484 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4488 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4489 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4490 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4491 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4492 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4493 counter, some don't.)
4494 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4495 counters or duplicate objects.
4498 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4499 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4502 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4503 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4504 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4506 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4507 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4508 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4512 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4513 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4516 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4517 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4518 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4522 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4523 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4524 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4527 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4528 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4529 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4530 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4531 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4532 should work without changes.
4535 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4536 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4537 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4538 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4539 must be defined. E.g.,
4540 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4541 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4542 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4543 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4545 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4549 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4550 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
4551 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
4554 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
4555 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
4556 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
4557 request header lines. Some software needs this.
4560 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
4561 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
4562 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
4563 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
4564 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
4565 is prompted for as usual.
4568 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
4569 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
4570 autodetect the card and use it if present.
4571 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
4573 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
4574 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
4575 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
4576 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
4579 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
4582 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
4586 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
4589 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
4592 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
4596 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
4599 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
4602 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
4603 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
4606 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
4607 options to produce them.
4610 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
4611 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
4614 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
4618 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
4619 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
4620 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
4621 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
4622 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
4623 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
4624 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
4627 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
4630 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
4631 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
4632 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
4635 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
4636 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
4638 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
4639 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
4642 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
4643 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
4644 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
4648 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
4649 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
4651 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
4652 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
4653 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
4654 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
4655 generation becomes much faster.
4657 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
4658 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
4659 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
4660 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
4661 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
4662 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
4663 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
4664 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
4665 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
4666 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
4669 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
4670 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
4671 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
4672 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
4673 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
4674 trial division stage.
4677 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
4681 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
4684 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
4687 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
4688 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
4689 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
4693 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
4694 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
4695 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
4698 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
4699 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
4700 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
4701 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
4703 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
4704 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
4707 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
4710 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
4711 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
4712 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
4713 Rabin-Miller iterations.
4716 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
4717 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
4718 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
4721 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
4722 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
4723 (instead of parameters) in future.
4726 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
4727 when a new cipher list is set.
4730 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
4731 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
4734 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
4735 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
4736 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
4738 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
4739 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
4740 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
4741 an error is flagged.
4743 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
4744 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
4745 the readability was also increased :-)
4746 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4748 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
4749 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
4750 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
4751 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
4755 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
4756 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
4759 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
4760 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
4761 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
4762 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
4765 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
4766 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
4767 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
4768 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
4769 because they handle more complex structures.)
4772 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
4773 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
4774 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
4775 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4777 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
4778 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
4779 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
4780 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
4781 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
4782 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
4783 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
4786 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
4787 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
4788 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
4789 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
4790 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
4793 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
4796 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
4797 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
4798 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
4799 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
4800 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
4803 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
4807 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
4808 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
4809 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
4810 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
4813 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
4816 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
4817 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
4818 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
4819 international characters are used.
4821 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
4822 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
4823 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
4827 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
4828 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
4829 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
4832 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
4833 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
4834 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
4835 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
4836 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
4837 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
4839 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
4840 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
4841 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
4842 be handled by the string table functions.
4844 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
4845 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
4846 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
4847 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
4848 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
4852 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
4853 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
4854 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
4855 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
4856 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
4858 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
4859 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
4860 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
4861 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
4864 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
4865 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
4866 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
4867 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
4868 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
4872 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
4873 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
4874 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
4875 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
4876 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
4877 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
4878 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
4879 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
4881 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
4882 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
4883 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
4886 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
4887 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
4888 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
4889 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
4890 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
4891 support to pkcs8 application.
4894 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
4895 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
4896 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
4897 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
4898 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
4899 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
4902 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
4903 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
4904 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
4905 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
4906 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
4910 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
4911 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
4912 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
4913 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
4917 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
4918 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
4919 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
4920 and any application specific purposes.
4922 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
4923 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
4924 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
4925 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
4926 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
4927 if the certificate is self signed.
4930 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4931 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4934 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4935 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4936 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4937 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4940 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4941 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4942 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4943 Update documentation.
4946 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4947 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4948 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4949 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4950 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4953 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4955 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4957 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4958 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4959 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4960 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4961 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4962 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4963 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4964 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4965 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4966 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4968 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4970 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4971 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4972 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4973 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4974 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4976 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4977 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4978 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4979 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4980 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4981 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4982 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4983 request additional information:
4984 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4985 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4987 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4988 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4989 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4992 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4993 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4996 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4999 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5000 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5002 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5003 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5004 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5008 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5009 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5010 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5012 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5013 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5014 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5015 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5016 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5017 included in OpenSSL.
5020 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5021 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5022 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5023 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5024 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5025 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5028 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5032 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5033 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5034 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5035 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5036 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5040 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5044 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5045 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5046 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5047 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5048 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5049 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5050 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5051 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5052 be maintained manually.
5054 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5055 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5056 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5057 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5058 work because people forget to call this function]
5059 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5060 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5061 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5064 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5065 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5066 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5067 should be discouraged from doing it.
5070 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5071 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5072 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5073 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5074 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5075 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5078 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5079 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5080 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5082 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5083 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5084 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5086 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5087 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5088 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5089 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5090 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5091 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5093 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5094 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5095 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5097 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5098 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5101 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5102 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5103 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5104 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5107 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5110 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5111 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5112 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5113 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5114 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5115 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5116 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5117 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5118 keys so we should be OK.
5120 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5121 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5122 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5123 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5124 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5125 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5126 stay in the name of compatibility.
5128 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5129 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5130 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5132 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5133 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5134 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5135 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5136 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5137 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5141 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5142 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5143 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5144 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5145 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5146 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5147 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5148 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5149 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5150 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5151 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5152 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5153 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5156 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5159 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5160 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5161 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5162 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5163 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5164 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5165 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5166 openssl verify ss.pem
5167 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5168 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5172 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5173 (and add it to external session representation).
5174 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5175 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5176 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5177 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5178 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5179 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5181 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5183 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5184 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5185 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5186 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5188 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5189 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5190 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5193 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5194 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5195 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5199 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5200 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5201 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5203 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5204 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5205 certificate auxiliary information.
5208 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5212 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5213 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5214 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5215 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5216 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5217 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5218 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5221 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5222 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5225 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5226 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5227 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5228 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5231 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5234 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5235 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5238 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5239 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5240 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5241 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5242 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5243 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5244 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5245 using the new 'x509' options.
5247 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5248 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5249 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5250 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5254 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5255 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5256 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5257 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5258 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5261 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5262 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5263 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5264 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5265 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5266 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5267 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5268 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5269 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5270 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5273 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5274 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5275 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5276 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5277 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5278 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5279 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5282 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5283 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5284 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5285 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5286 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5287 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5288 openssl.cnf for more info.
5291 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5292 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5293 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5294 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5295 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5296 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5297 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5298 md should be large enough anyway.
5301 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5302 for handling the random seed file.
5304 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5306 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5309 x509 (when signing).
5310 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5311 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5312 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5314 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5315 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5316 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5317 that support '-rand'.
5320 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5321 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5324 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5325 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5328 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5329 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5330 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5331 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5335 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5336 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5337 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5338 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5341 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5342 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5343 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5344 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5345 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5346 print out all the purposes.
5349 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5353 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5354 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5355 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5356 single function call.
5359 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5360 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5363 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5364 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5365 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5368 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5369 when producing the local key id.
5370 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5372 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5373 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5374 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5378 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5379 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5380 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5381 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5384 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5385 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5386 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5387 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5389 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5390 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5391 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
5392 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5394 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
5395 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
5396 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
5397 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
5398 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
5399 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
5400 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
5401 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
5402 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
5403 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
5404 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
5405 trivial: move one line.
5406 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
5408 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
5409 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
5410 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
5411 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
5412 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
5413 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
5414 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
5415 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
5416 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
5417 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
5418 with an event loop for example.
5421 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
5422 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
5423 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
5424 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
5425 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
5426 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
5427 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
5428 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
5429 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
5432 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
5433 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
5434 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
5435 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
5436 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
5437 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
5440 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
5441 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
5442 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
5443 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
5445 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
5446 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
5447 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
5448 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
5452 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
5453 (still largely untested)
5456 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
5457 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
5460 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
5461 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
5464 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
5465 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
5466 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
5469 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
5470 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
5471 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
5472 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
5473 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
5476 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
5479 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
5480 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
5481 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
5482 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
5483 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
5487 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
5488 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
5491 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
5494 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
5495 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
5496 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
5497 are otherwise ignored at present.
5500 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
5501 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
5502 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
5503 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
5504 copied until the next read.
5507 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
5508 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
5509 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
5512 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
5513 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
5514 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
5515 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
5516 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
5517 associated functions.
5520 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
5521 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
5522 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
5523 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
5524 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
5525 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
5526 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
5527 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
5528 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
5532 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
5533 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
5534 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
5535 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
5538 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
5539 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
5540 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
5541 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
5542 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
5546 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
5547 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
5551 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
5552 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
5553 extensions to be obtained and added.
5556 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
5557 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
5560 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
5562 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
5563 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5565 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
5566 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
5568 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
5572 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
5573 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
5574 DH parameters contain its length).
5576 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
5577 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
5578 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
5579 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
5580 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
5581 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
5582 utter importance to use
5583 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5585 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
5586 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
5587 attacks may become possible!
5590 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
5593 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
5594 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
5597 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
5598 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
5599 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
5603 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
5604 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
5605 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
5606 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
5607 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
5608 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
5609 private key operations.
5612 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
5615 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
5616 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
5618 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
5619 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
5620 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
5621 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
5622 the password callback is called.
5623 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
5625 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
5627 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
5628 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
5629 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
5630 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
5631 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
5632 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
5635 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
5636 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
5637 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
5638 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
5639 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
5640 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
5643 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
5646 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
5647 delete an unused file.
5650 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
5651 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
5652 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
5653 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
5656 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
5657 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
5658 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
5662 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
5663 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
5664 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5666 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
5667 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
5668 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
5669 comparison" warnings.
5670 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
5673 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
5674 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
5675 derived keys are printed to stderr.
5678 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
5679 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
5681 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
5682 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
5684 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
5685 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
5686 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
5688 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
5689 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
5690 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
5691 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
5692 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
5694 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
5696 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
5697 The interface is as follows:
5698 Applications can use
5699 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
5700 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
5701 "off" is now the default.
5702 The library internally uses
5703 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
5704 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
5705 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
5707 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
5708 even the default) are now avoided.
5710 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
5711 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
5712 than just having a counter.
5714 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
5716 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
5720 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
5721 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
5722 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
5723 Initial "mode" flags are:
5725 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
5726 a single record has been written.
5727 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
5728 retries use the same buffer location.
5729 (But all of the contents must be
5733 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
5736 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
5737 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
5739 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
5740 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
5741 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
5744 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
5745 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
5747 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
5749 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
5750 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
5751 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
5752 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
5754 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
5755 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
5757 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
5758 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
5759 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
5760 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
5761 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
5762 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
5765 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
5766 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
5767 necessary function names.
5770 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
5771 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
5772 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
5773 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
5776 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
5777 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
5778 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
5781 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
5782 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
5783 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
5784 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
5786 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
5790 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
5791 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
5792 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
5795 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
5796 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
5800 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
5801 for the encoded length.
5802 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
5804 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
5807 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
5808 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
5809 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
5810 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
5813 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
5814 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
5815 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5817 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
5818 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
5819 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
5823 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
5824 to use the new extension code.
5827 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
5828 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
5829 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
5833 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
5834 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
5835 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
5839 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
5842 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
5843 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
5844 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
5847 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
5848 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
5849 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
5850 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
5853 *) DES library cleanups.
5856 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
5857 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
5858 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
5859 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
5860 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
5864 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
5865 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
5868 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
5869 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
5870 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
5871 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
5872 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
5873 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
5874 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
5875 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
5876 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
5879 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
5880 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
5881 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
5882 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
5883 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
5884 value doesn't matter.
5887 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
5891 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
5892 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
5893 "linux-sparc" configuration.
5894 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
5896 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
5899 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
5900 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
5901 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5903 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
5904 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5906 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
5909 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
5912 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
5915 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
5919 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
5921 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
5923 *) Updated some demos.
5924 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
5926 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
5929 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
5932 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
5935 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
5936 instead of using a fixed path.
5939 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
5942 *) Improvements for VMS support.
5946 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
5948 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
5949 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
5950 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5952 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
5953 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
5954 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
5955 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
5956 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
5957 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
5958 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
5959 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
5960 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
5961 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
5964 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
5965 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
5968 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
5969 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
5970 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
5971 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
5972 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
5974 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
5977 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
5978 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
5979 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
5982 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
5985 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
5986 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
5987 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
5988 key elements as negative integers.
5991 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
5992 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
5995 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
5997 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
5998 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
5999 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6002 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6003 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6004 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6005 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6006 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6009 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6012 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6013 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6014 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6015 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6017 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6018 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6019 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6021 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6022 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6023 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6024 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6025 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6026 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6027 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6028 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6029 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6031 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6032 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6033 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6034 does not influence s as it used to.
6036 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6037 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6038 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6039 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6040 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6041 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6044 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6045 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6046 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6050 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6051 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6052 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6056 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6057 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6058 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6062 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6063 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6066 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6067 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6072 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6073 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6075 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6076 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6078 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6081 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6084 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6085 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6087 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6088 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6089 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6093 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6094 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6095 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6096 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6097 now it really counts the depth.
6100 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6101 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6102 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6103 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6104 didn't match the private key).
6106 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6107 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6108 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6111 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6114 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6118 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6119 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6120 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6123 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6126 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6127 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6128 such as /usr/local/bin.
6131 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6132 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6134 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6137 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6138 extension adding in x509 utility.
6141 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6144 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6148 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6151 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6152 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6153 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6154 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6155 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6156 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6157 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6158 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6159 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6160 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6163 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6166 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6167 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6170 *) Fix some race conditions.
6173 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6174 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6177 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6180 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6181 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6182 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6183 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6185 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6186 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6188 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6189 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6190 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6192 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6193 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6195 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6198 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6199 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6201 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6204 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6205 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6207 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6208 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6211 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6212 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6215 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6216 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6219 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6220 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6223 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6224 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6227 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6228 support typesafe stack.
6231 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6232 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6234 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6235 old X509V3 handling code.
6238 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6241 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6244 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6247 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6248 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6250 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6251 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6252 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6253 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6254 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6257 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6258 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6259 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6260 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6261 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6263 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6264 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6265 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6266 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6268 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6269 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6270 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6271 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6273 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6274 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6275 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6276 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6277 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6278 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6281 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6282 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6285 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6286 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6289 *) Tweaks to Configure
6290 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6292 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6296 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6299 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6300 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6303 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6304 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6305 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6308 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6311 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6312 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6315 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6316 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6317 to library startup routines.
6320 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6321 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6322 codes along the way.
6325 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6326 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6327 objects to objects.h
6330 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6331 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6334 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6335 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6337 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6338 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6339 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6341 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6342 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6343 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6345 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6346 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6347 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6350 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6352 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6353 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6356 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6357 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6358 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6359 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6360 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6362 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6363 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6364 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6366 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6368 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6370 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6372 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6373 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6375 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6376 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6377 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6378 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6380 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6383 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6384 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6385 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6386 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6389 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6390 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6391 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
6394 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
6395 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
6396 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
6397 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
6398 installed as `perl').
6399 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6401 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
6402 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6404 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
6405 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
6406 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
6407 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
6408 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
6411 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
6414 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
6415 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
6416 is horrible: I feel ill....
6419 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
6420 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
6421 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
6422 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
6425 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
6426 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6428 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
6429 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
6430 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
6431 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6433 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
6434 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
6435 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
6436 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
6437 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
6438 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
6440 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6442 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
6443 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6445 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
6446 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
6448 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
6451 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
6452 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
6456 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
6457 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
6458 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
6459 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
6460 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
6461 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
6462 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
6463 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
6464 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
6465 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
6466 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6468 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
6471 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
6472 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
6473 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
6474 for linking it into DSOs.
6475 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6477 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
6481 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
6482 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
6483 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
6484 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
6485 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
6486 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6488 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
6489 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
6490 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
6491 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
6492 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
6493 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
6494 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6496 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
6497 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
6498 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
6502 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
6503 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
6504 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
6505 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
6508 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
6509 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
6510 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
6511 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
6512 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
6516 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
6517 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
6518 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
6519 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
6520 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6522 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
6523 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
6524 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6526 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
6527 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
6529 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
6530 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
6531 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
6532 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
6533 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
6536 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
6537 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
6538 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
6539 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
6540 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
6541 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
6542 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
6545 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
6547 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
6548 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
6551 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
6552 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
6554 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
6555 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
6558 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
6559 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
6560 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
6561 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
6562 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
6564 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
6565 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
6566 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
6567 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
6568 no way to reconfigure them.
6569 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
6570 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
6571 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
6572 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
6573 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
6574 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6576 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
6577 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
6578 recognized by the users.
6579 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6581 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
6582 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
6583 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
6584 already masked variable.
6585 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6587 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
6588 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6590 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
6591 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
6592 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
6593 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6595 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
6596 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
6597 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6599 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
6600 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
6601 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
6602 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
6603 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
6604 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
6605 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
6606 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
6608 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6610 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
6611 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
6612 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6614 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
6615 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
6619 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
6620 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
6622 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
6623 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
6624 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
6625 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
6628 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
6631 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
6632 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6634 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
6637 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
6638 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
6641 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
6642 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
6645 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
6646 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
6647 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
6648 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
6649 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
6650 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
6651 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
6654 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
6655 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6657 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
6658 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
6659 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
6660 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
6661 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6663 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
6664 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
6665 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
6668 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
6669 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
6673 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
6674 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
6675 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6677 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
6678 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
6679 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
6683 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
6684 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
6685 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
6686 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
6689 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
6690 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
6691 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
6692 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
6695 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
6696 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
6697 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
6698 so it wasn't spotted.
6699 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
6701 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
6702 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
6703 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
6704 vectors if you have them.
6707 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
6708 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
6711 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
6712 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
6713 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
6714 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
6716 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
6717 it will update them.
6720 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
6721 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
6722 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
6723 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
6724 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
6725 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
6726 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
6727 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6729 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
6730 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
6731 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
6732 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
6733 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
6734 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
6735 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
6736 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
6737 the crypto/md/ stuff).
6738 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6740 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
6741 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
6742 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
6743 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
6744 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
6747 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
6751 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
6752 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6754 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
6755 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
6757 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
6758 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
6761 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
6762 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
6764 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
6765 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
6767 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
6770 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
6774 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
6775 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
6776 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
6777 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
6779 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6782 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
6785 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
6788 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
6789 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
6792 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
6793 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
6797 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
6798 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
6801 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
6802 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
6803 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
6806 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
6807 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
6808 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
6809 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
6810 properly to be processed.
6813 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
6814 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
6815 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
6818 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
6819 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
6821 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
6822 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
6823 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
6824 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
6825 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
6826 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
6827 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
6828 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
6829 or delete all the .err files.
6832 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
6833 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
6834 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
6835 to regenerate it if needed.
6836 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
6837 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
6839 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
6840 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6842 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
6843 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
6844 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
6845 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
6846 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
6849 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
6850 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6852 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
6853 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6855 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
6856 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
6857 error, but didn't set one).
6858 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6860 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
6863 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
6864 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
6867 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
6868 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
6870 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
6871 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
6872 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
6873 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
6874 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
6875 OID is not part of the table.
6878 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
6879 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
6882 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
6885 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
6886 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
6890 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
6891 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
6893 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
6895 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6897 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
6898 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6900 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
6901 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
6903 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
6904 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
6906 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
6907 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
6910 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
6911 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
6914 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
6915 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6917 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
6918 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6920 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
6921 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6923 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
6924 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6926 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
6927 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
6928 unused in the certificate verification process.
6929 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6931 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
6932 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
6935 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
6936 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
6937 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
6939 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
6940 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
6941 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
6942 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
6943 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
6945 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
6946 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
6949 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
6952 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
6955 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
6956 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
6958 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
6961 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
6964 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
6967 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
6968 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
6969 other error libraries.
6972 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
6975 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
6976 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
6980 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
6981 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
6982 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
6983 the new set of documenation files.
6984 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6986 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
6987 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
6988 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
6989 number of arguments.
6990 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
6992 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
6995 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
6996 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
6997 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6999 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7002 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7006 unixware-2.0-pentium
7010 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7011 before they are needed.
7014 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7018 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7020 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7021 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7022 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7024 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7027 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7028 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7029 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7031 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7032 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7033 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7035 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
7036 when "ssleay" is still not found.
7037 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7039 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
7040 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
7042 *) Updated the README file.
7043 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7045 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
7046 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
7047 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7049 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
7050 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
7051 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7053 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
7054 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
7055 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
7056 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
7057 o removed obsolete TODO file
7058 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
7059 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7061 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
7062 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
7063 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
7064 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f

7066 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
7067 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7069 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
7072 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
7073 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
7074 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
7076 [The OpenSSL Project]
7079 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7081 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7084 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7087 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7088 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7091 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7092 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7096 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7098 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7100 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7103 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7106 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7109 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7112 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7115 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7118 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7121 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7124 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7127 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7130 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7133 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7136 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7139 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7142 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7145 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7148 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7151 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7152 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7153 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7156 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7157 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7160 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7163 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7166 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7167 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7170 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7173 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7176 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
7177 bytes sent in the client random.
