5 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
8 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
11 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
12 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
13 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
14 setting is used: whether to trust or reject.
17 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
21 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
22 Add CMAC pkey methods.
25 *) Experiemental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
26 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
27 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
30 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
31 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
32 multi-process servers.
35 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
36 a few changes are required:
38 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
40 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
41 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
42 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
45 *) Experiemental password based recipient info support for CMS library:
49 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
50 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
51 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
55 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
56 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
57 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
58 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
59 RAND_METHOD structure.
62 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
63 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
64 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
65 whose return value is often ignored.
68 Changes between 0.9.8m and 1.0.0 [25 Feb 2010]
70 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
71 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
72 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
75 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
78 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
79 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
80 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
82 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
83 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
84 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
87 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
88 change when encrypting or decrypting.
91 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
92 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
95 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
96 some responders need this.
99 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
101 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
103 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
104 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
105 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
108 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
111 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
112 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
113 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
114 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
115 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
116 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
117 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
118 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
121 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
122 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
123 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
124 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
126 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
127 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
129 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
133 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
134 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
135 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
136 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
137 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
138 attempting to work them out.
141 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
142 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
143 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
144 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
147 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
148 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
149 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
150 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
151 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
154 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
155 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
162 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
164 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
168 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
169 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
171 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
172 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
174 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
175 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
176 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
177 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
178 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
181 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
182 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
183 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
186 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
187 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
190 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
191 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
193 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
194 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
197 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
200 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
201 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
202 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
206 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
207 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
208 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
209 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
210 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
211 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
214 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
215 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
217 This work was sponsored by Google.
220 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
221 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
222 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
223 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
224 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
225 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
226 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
229 This work was sponsored by Google.
232 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
234 This work was sponsored by Google.
237 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
238 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
239 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
240 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
242 This work was sponsored by Google.
245 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
246 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
247 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
248 CRL functionality in future.
250 This work was sponsored by Google.
253 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
255 This work was sponsored by Google.
258 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
259 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
261 This work was sponsored by Google.
264 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
265 and URI types are currently supported.
267 This work was sponsored by Google.
270 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
271 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
272 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
273 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
274 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
275 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
276 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
277 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
279 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
280 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
281 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
283 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
284 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
285 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
286 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
288 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
289 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
290 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
291 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
292 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
293 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
294 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
295 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
297 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
299 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
300 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
301 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
303 This work was sponsored by Google.
306 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
309 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
310 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
311 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
314 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
315 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
318 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
319 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
322 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
323 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
324 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
325 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
326 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
327 content types and variants.
330 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
333 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
334 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
335 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
336 files from the associated perl scripts.
339 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
340 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
341 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
343 *) s390x assembler pack.
346 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
350 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
351 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
352 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
353 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
354 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
355 to use. For example, specify an option
357 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
359 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
360 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
361 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
362 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
363 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
364 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
366 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
367 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
368 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
369 return non-zero for success.
371 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
374 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
375 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
379 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
382 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
383 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
384 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
385 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
386 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
387 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
388 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
389 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
390 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
392 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
393 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
394 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
395 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
396 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
397 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
399 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
400 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
401 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
402 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
403 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
404 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
408 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
411 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
413 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
414 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
415 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
418 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
419 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
422 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
423 protection in servers so again support should be possible
424 with no application modification.
426 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
427 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
429 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
430 or server extensions to be examined.
432 This work was sponsored by Google.
435 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
436 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
437 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
439 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
440 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
442 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
444 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
445 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
446 to output in BER and PEM format.
449 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
450 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
451 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
452 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
453 -macopt options to dgst utility.
456 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
457 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
458 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
462 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
463 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
464 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
465 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
466 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
467 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
468 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
469 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
472 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
473 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
474 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
475 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
477 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
478 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
479 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
483 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
484 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
485 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
486 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
487 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
488 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
489 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
490 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
491 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
493 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
494 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
495 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
496 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
497 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
498 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
499 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
500 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
501 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
502 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
503 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
506 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
507 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
508 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
510 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
511 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
515 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
516 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
517 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
520 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
521 it yet and it is largely untested.
524 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
527 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
528 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
529 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
532 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
535 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
536 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
537 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
538 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
541 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
542 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
543 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
544 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
545 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
548 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
549 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
552 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
553 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
554 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
555 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
558 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
559 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
560 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
561 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
564 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
565 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
568 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
569 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
570 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
571 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
574 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
575 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
576 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
579 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
583 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
584 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
587 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
588 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
589 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
593 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
594 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
595 to free up any added signature OIDs.
598 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
599 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
600 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
601 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
604 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
605 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
606 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
607 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
608 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
609 the array representation useful in a more general context.
612 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
613 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
614 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
615 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
616 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
618 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
619 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
620 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
621 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
622 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
625 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
626 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
627 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
628 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
630 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
631 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
632 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
633 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
634 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
640 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
641 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
645 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
646 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
649 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
650 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
653 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
654 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
655 functional reference processing.
658 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
659 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
663 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
664 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
665 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
668 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
669 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
670 application to support multiple signers.
673 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
677 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
678 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
679 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
680 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
681 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
684 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
688 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
689 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
690 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
691 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
695 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
696 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
697 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
698 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
699 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
700 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
701 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
702 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
705 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
706 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
707 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
708 between digests and public key types.
711 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
712 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
713 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
714 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
717 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
718 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
722 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
725 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
729 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
730 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
731 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
732 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
737 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
739 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
741 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
743 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
744 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
745 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
746 functionality for RSA.
749 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
750 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
751 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
754 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
755 key API, doesn't do much yet.
758 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
759 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
760 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
763 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
764 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
767 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
768 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
771 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
772 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
776 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
777 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
778 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
782 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
783 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
784 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
785 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
786 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
787 of public and private key structures.
790 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
791 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
794 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
795 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
796 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
799 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
803 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
804 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
806 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
808 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
810 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
811 and response verification functionality.
812 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
814 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
815 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
816 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
817 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
818 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
819 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
820 server_name extension.
822 New functions (subject to change):
825 SSL_get_servername_type()
828 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
830 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
831 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
832 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
833 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
834 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
836 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
838 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
839 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
840 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
841 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
842 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
843 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
846 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
848 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
851 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
852 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
853 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
854 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
855 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
858 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
859 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
863 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
864 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
865 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
866 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
869 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
870 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
871 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
872 using the maximum available value.
875 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
876 in addition to the text details.
879 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
880 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
881 handle several customised structures at all.
884 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
885 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
886 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
889 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
892 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
893 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
894 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
897 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
898 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
899 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
902 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
903 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
907 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
910 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
913 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [xx XXX xxxx]
915 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
916 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
919 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
920 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
921 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
924 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
925 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
926 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
927 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
928 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
929 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
932 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
933 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
934 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
937 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
938 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
939 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
940 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
941 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
942 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
946 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
947 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
948 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
951 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
954 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
955 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
956 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
957 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
958 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
959 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
960 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
961 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
962 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
965 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
966 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
967 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
970 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
971 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
974 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
975 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
976 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
977 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
978 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
979 know what you are doing.
980 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
982 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
983 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
984 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
985 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
986 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
987 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
991 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
992 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
993 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
995 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
997 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
998 warnings in other configurations.
1001 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1002 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1003 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1005 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1007 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1008 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1009 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1011 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1012 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1013 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1014 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1017 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1021 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1022 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1024 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1026 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1027 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1028 other than a simple chain.
1029 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1031 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1032 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1033 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1034 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1037 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1038 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1039 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1040 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1041 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1042 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1043 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1044 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1045 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1047 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1048 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1049 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1050 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1051 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1052 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1054 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1056 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1057 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1060 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1061 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1064 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1066 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1068 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1069 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1070 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1071 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1072 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1076 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1078 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1079 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1080 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1081 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1083 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1084 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1085 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1086 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1088 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1089 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1090 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1093 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1094 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1098 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1099 to handle some structures.
1102 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1104 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1106 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1109 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1112 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1115 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1116 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1120 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1122 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1124 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1126 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1129 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1130 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1131 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1132 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1134 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1135 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1137 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1138 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1141 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1142 s_client and s_server.
1145 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1146 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1148 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1149 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1151 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1152 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1153 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1154 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1155 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1158 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1160 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1161 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1164 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1165 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1168 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1169 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1170 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1171 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1173 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1174 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1176 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1178 *) Various precautionary measures:
1180 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1182 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1183 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1184 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1186 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1187 outside the expected range.
1189 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1192 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1194 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1195 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1196 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1198 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1201 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1204 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1206 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1209 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1210 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1211 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1213 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1216 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1217 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1218 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1222 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1224 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1225 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1226 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1227 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1229 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1230 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1233 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1235 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1236 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1237 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1239 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1241 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1242 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1243 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1244 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1247 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1248 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1249 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1250 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1251 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1252 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1253 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1255 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1257 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1258 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1259 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1260 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1261 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1263 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1264 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1266 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1267 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1268 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1269 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1270 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1272 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1274 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1275 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1276 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1277 sets may exist with different names.
1280 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1281 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1282 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1283 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1284 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1285 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1286 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1287 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1288 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1290 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1292 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1293 implemention in the following ways:
1295 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1298 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1299 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1300 ignored for embedded content.
1302 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1303 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1306 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1307 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1308 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1309 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1311 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1312 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1315 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1316 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1319 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1320 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1321 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1322 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1323 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1324 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1328 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1329 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1330 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]

1349 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1351 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1352 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1353 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1354 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1355 to s_client and s_server.
1358 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1360 *) Fix various bugs:
1361 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1362 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1363 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1364 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1365 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1367 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1369 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1370 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1371 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1372 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1373 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1374 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1375 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1376 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1379 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1380 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1381 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1384 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1385 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1386 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1389 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1390 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1393 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1394 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1395 with no application modification.
1397 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1398 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1400 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1401 or server extensions to be examined.
1403 This work was sponsored by Google.
1406 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1407 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1408 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1409 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1410 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1411 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1412 server_name extension.
1414 New functions (subject to change):
1416 SSL_get_servername()
1417 SSL_get_servername_type()
1420 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1422 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1423 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1424 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1425 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1426 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1428 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1430 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1431 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1432 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1433 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1434 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1435 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1438 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1440 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1443 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1446 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1447 (which previously caused an internal error).
1450 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1453 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1454 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1456 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1457 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1458 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1460 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1461 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1462 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1463 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1465 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1466 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1467 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1468 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1470 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1471 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1472 information. For detailed background information, see
1473 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1474 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1475 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1476 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1477 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1478 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1479 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1480 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1481 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1482 remove a conditional branch.
1484 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1485 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1486 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1487 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1488 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1489 remains as a deprecated alias.
1491 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1492 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1493 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1494 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1496 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1497 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1498 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1499 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1500 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1501 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1502 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1503 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1505 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1507 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1508 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1509 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1510 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1511 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1512 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1513 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1514 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1515 in a different context.
1518 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1519 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1520 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1523 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1524 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1525 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1527 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1529 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1530 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1531 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1532 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1533 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1536 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1537 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1538 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1539 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1540 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1541 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1544 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1545 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1546 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1547 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1548 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1551 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1552 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1554 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1555 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1556 Improve header file function name parsing.
1559 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1560 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1563 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1565 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1566 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1567 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1569 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1570 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1572 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1573 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1575 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1576 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1577 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1579 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1580 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1581 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1582 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1583 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1584 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1585 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1586 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1587 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1589 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1590 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1591 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1592 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1593 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1595 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1596 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1597 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1598 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1599 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1600 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1601 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1602 multiple values to extend the available space.
1606 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1608 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1609 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1611 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1614 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1615 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1616 undesirable limitations.
1617 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1619 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1620 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1621 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1622 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1623 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1624 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1625 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1628 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1630 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1631 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1632 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1634 The latter two were purportedly from
1635 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1638 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1639 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1640 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1643 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1644 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1647 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1648 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1649 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1650 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1652 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1653 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1654 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1657 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1658 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1659 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1660 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1661 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1662 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1665 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1667 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1668 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1671 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1672 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1674 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1675 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1676 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1677 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1680 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1681 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1684 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1685 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1686 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1687 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1688 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1689 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1690 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1694 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1695 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1696 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1697 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1700 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1701 under VC++ build system.
1704 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1705 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1708 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1710 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1711 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1712 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1713 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1714 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1716 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1717 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1718 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1720 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1723 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1724 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1727 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1728 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1730 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1733 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1734 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1736 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1737 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1740 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1741 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to

1747 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1750 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1753 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1754 key into the same file any more.
1757 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1760 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1761 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1763 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1764 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1767 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1768 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1769 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1770 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1771 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1772 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1774 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1775 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1776 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1779 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1780 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1781 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1782 - add new function for parameter creation
1783 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1784 BN_BLINDING parameters
1785 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1786 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1787 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1791 *) Add support for DTLS.
1792 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1794 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1795 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1798 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1799 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1802 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1803 the apps/openssl applications.
1806 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1807 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1808 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1811 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1812 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1814 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1815 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1817 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1818 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1819 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1820 avoid this algorithm.)
1824 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1825 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1826 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1829 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1830 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1833 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1834 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1835 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1838 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1840 The blank line is mandatory.
1844 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1845 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1849 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1850 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1852 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1853 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1854 to support policy checking and print out.
1857 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1858 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1859 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1860 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1862 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1865 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1866 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1868 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1869 implementation contributed by IBM.
1870 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1872 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1873 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1874 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1875 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1877 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1878 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1880 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1881 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1882 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1883 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1884 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1885 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1888 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1889 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1890 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1891 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1892 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1893 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1894 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1897 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1900 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1901 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1902 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1903 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1904 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1905 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1906 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1907 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1910 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1911 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1912 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1913 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1916 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1919 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1922 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1923 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1924 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1925 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1926 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1927 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1928 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1931 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1932 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1935 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1936 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1937 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1940 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1941 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1942 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1946 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1947 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1950 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1951 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1952 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1953 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1956 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1957 initialised value as BN_new().
1958 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1960 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1963 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1964 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1965 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1966 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1967 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1968 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1969 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1970 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1971 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1972 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1973 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1974 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1975 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1976 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1977 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1979 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1980 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1981 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1982 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1985 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1986 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1987 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1988 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1989 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1990 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1991 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1992 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1993 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1996 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1997 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1998 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1999 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2000 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2001 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2002 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2005 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2006 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2007 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2008 these have been updated also.
2011 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2012 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2013 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2014 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2015 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2019 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2020 structure of type "other".
2023 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2024 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2025 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2026 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2027 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2028 situation in the script.
2029 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2031 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2032 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2033 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2034 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2035 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2036 used as premaster secret.
2037 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2039 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2040 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2041 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2043 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2044 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2046 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2047 control of the error stack.
2050 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2053 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2054 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2055 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2056 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2059 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2060 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2061 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2064 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2065 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2066 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2070 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2071 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2072 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2073 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2076 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2077 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2078 the following flags are defined:
2080 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2081 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2082 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2085 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2086 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2087 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2088 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2092 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2093 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2094 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2095 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2096 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2099 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2100 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2101 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2104 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2105 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2106 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2107 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2108 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2109 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2112 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2116 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2119 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2122 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2125 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2126 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2127 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2128 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2129 default implementation more easily.
2132 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2136 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2137 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2140 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2141 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2142 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2143 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2145 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2146 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2147 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2148 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2151 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2152 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2156 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2157 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2158 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2159 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2160 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2161 scalar * generator).
2162 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2164 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2165 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2166 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2170 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2171 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2172 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2173 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2174 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2175 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2176 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2177 linker additions, eg;
2178 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2181 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2182 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2183 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2186 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2187 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2188 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2192 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2193 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2194 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2195 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2198 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2199 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2200 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2201 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2202 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2203 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2204 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2205 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2206 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2207 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2209 Example for using the new callback interface:
2211 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2215 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2217 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2218 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2219 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2220 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2221 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2222 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2227 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2228 available to TLS with the number defined in
2229 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2232 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2233 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2235 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2236 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2237 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2238 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2240 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2241 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2243 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2244 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2248 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2249 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2252 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2253 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2254 and a macro that behave like
2255 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2257 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2260 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2261 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2262 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2264 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2266 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2269 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2270 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2271 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2272 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2274 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2275 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2276 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2277 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2278 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2279 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2280 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2281 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2283 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2284 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2287 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2288 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2290 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2291 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2292 files while avoiding the low level API.
2294 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2295 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2296 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2297 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2299 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2300 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2301 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2302 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2303 instead of the low level API.
2306 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2307 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2308 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2309 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2310 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2313 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2314 down to the template encoder.
2317 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2318 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2321 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2322 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2323 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2324 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2326 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2327 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2329 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2330 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2332 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2333 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2336 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2337 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2338 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2341 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2342 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2344 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2345 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2347 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2348 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2351 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2355 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2356 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2357 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2358 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2359 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2360 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2362 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2363 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2366 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2367 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2368 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2369 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2370 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2371 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2372 various internal method names.)
2374 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2375 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2377 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2378 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2380 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2381 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2383 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2384 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2385 methods are undefined.
2387 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2388 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2390 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2391 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2392 length of the modulus.
2394 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2395 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2397 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2398 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2400 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2401 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2403 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2404 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2405 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2408 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2409 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2410 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2411 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2413 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2414 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2415 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2416 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2418 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2419 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2421 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2422 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2423 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2424 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2425 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2427 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2428 This applies to the following functions:
2433 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2434 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2436 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2437 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2441 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2446 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2448 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2449 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2450 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2451 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2452 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2454 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila

2457 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2458 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2459 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2461 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2462 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2464 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2465 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2466 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2467 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2468 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2470 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2472 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2473 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2474 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2475 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2476 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2477 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2478 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2479 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2480 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2481 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2482 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2483 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2485 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2488 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2489 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2490 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2491 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2493 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2494 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2495 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2496 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2501 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2502 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2503 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2504 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2505 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2507 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2508 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2509 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2510 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2511 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2512 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2513 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2514 adding different types of curves.
2515 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2517 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2518 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2519 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2522 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2523 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2525 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2526 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2527 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2528 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2530 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2532 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2533 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2535 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2536 library. Most notably,
2537 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2538 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2539 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2540 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2541 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2542 extracted before the specific public key;
2543 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2544 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2546 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2547 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2549 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2550 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2551 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2552 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2554 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2555 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2556 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2558 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2559 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2560 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2561 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2562 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2563 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2567 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2569 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2571 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2573 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2574 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2575 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2578 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2579 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2580 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2583 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2586 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2587 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2590 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2591 run algorithm test programs.
2594 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2597 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2598 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2599 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2600 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2601 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2604 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2605 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2608 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2610 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2611 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2612 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2614 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2615 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2617 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2618 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2620 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2621 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2622 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2624 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2625 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2626 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2627 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2628 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2629 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2630 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2633 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2635 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2636 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2638 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2639 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2640 undesirable limitations.
2641 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2643 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2645 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2646 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2647 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2649 The latter two were purportedly from
2650 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2653 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2654 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2655 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2658 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2659 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2662 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2664 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2665 module in FIPS mode.
2668 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2671 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2672 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2673 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2674 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2677 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2679 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2680 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2681 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2682 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2683 the difference induced by this change.
2686 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2688 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2689 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2690 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2691 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2692 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2694 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2695 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2696 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2698 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2699 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2702 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2703 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2704 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2705 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2709 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2710 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2711 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2712 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2713 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2715 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2716 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2717 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2718 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2719 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2720 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2722 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2724 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2725 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2726 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2727 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2728 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2731 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2735 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2736 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2737 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2740 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2741 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2742 structures constant.
2745 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2747 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2750 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2751 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2752 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2753 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2754 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2755 some needed definitions.
2758 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2761 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2762 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2763 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2764 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2767 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2769 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2770 server and client random values. Previously
2771 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2772 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2774 This change has negligible security impact because:
2776 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2779 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2782 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2783 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2786 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2789 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2791 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2794 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2795 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2796 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2798 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2801 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2802 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2805 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2806 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2807 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2809 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2812 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2813 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2814 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2818 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2819 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2820 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2821 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2823 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2824 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2825 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2826 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2830 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2832 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2833 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2834 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2835 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2836 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2839 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2842 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2843 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2845 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2846 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2847 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2848 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2849 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2850 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2851 rather than being initialized to 1.
2854 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2856 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2857 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2858 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2860 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2862 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2864 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2865 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2866 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2867 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2868 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2869 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2872 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2873 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2874 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2875 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2876 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2880 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2881 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2882 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2883 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2884 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2887 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2888 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2889 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2893 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2894 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2896 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2899 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2901 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2903 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2904 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2906 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2908 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2909 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2913 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2914 exiting on the first error in a request.
2917 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2918 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2922 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2923 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2924 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2925 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2927 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2928 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2931 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2932 blocks during encryption.
2935 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2936 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2937 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2938 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2942 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2943 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2944 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2945 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2946 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2950 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2952 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2953 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2954 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2955 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2958 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2959 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2960 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2961 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2962 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2964 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2965 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2966 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2967 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2968 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2969 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2970 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2971 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2972 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2975 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2976 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2977 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2978 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2981 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2982 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2985 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2987 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2988 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2989 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2990 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2991 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2993 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2994 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2995 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2997 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2998 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2999 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3000 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3001 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3003 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3004 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3005 used by default when no-err is given.
3008 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3009 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3011 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3012 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3013 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3014 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3015 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3017 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3018 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3019 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3020 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3022 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3024 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3026 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3028 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3029 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are

3031 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3035 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3036 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3038 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3039 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3042 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3043 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3044 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3045 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3048 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3049 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3050 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3051 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3052 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3053 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3054 followup to PR #377.
3057 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3058 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3061 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3062 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3063 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

3068 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3071 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3072 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3073 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3074 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between

3085 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3086 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3087 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3088 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3089 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3090 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3092 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3093 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3094 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3095 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3096 have to be made anyway).
3099 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3100 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3101 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3104 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3105 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3106 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3109 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3110 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3111 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3113 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3114 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3115 edit numbers of the version.
3116 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3118 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3119 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
3120 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
3122 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
3123 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3125 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3126 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.

3150 representations in a platform independent manner.

3204 the 0.9.6 release series:
3206 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3207 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
3209 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3211 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
3214 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3215 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]

3218 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3220 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3221 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3222 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3223 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3225 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3226 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3227 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3229 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3230 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3231 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3232 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3234 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3235 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3236 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3239 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3240 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3241 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3242 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3243 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3244 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3245 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3246 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3249 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3250 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3251 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3254 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3255 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3256 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3257 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3258 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3260 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3261 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3263 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3264 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3267 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3268 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3269 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3270 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3271 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3272 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3275 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3276 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3277 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3280 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3281 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3284 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3285 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3286 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3287 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3288 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3289 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3290 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3293 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3294 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3295 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3296 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3297 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3298 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3301 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3302 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3303 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3304 declaration has been changed from
3307 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3308 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3309 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3310 has been changed into
3311 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3313 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3314 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3315 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3317 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3318 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3320 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3321 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3322 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3323 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3324 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3325 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3326 always load it have also been added.
3329 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3330 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3331 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3333 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3335 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3336 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3337 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3339 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3340 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3341 command line option can be used to specify an
3345 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3346 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3349 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3350 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3351 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3354 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3355 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3356 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3357 to work with the new engine framework.
3358 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3360 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3361 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3362 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3363 to work with the new engine framework.
3366 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3367 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3368 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3370 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3371 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3373 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3374 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3375 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3376 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3378 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3380 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3381 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3383 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3384 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3386 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3387 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3388 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3391 *) Add new functions
3393 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3394 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3395 These are similar to
3398 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3399 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3400 still in the error queue.
3401 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3403 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3405 default_algorithms = ALL
3406 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3409 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3412 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3415 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3416 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3417 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3418 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3420 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3421 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3423 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3424 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3426 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3427 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3430 *) New functions/macros
3432 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3433 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3434 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3435 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3437 to request calling a callback function
3439 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3440 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3442 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3443 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3444 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3445 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3446 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3447 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3448 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3449 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3450 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3451 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3453 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3454 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3457 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3458 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3459 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3460 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3461 the configuration scripts.
3463 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3464 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3465 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3467 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3468 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3470 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3471 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3472 when reusing an existing buffer.
3475 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3476 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3479 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3480 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3483 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3484 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3485 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3486 has the same effect.
3487 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3489 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3490 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3491 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3492 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3493 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3494 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3497 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3498 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3499 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3500 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3502 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3503 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3504 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3505 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3507 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3508 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3511 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3512 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3513 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3514 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3515 default), and then completely removed.
3518 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3519 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3520 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3521 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3522 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3523 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3524 particular extension is supported.
3527 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3528 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3531 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3532 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3533 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3534 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3535 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3536 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3537 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3538 requires the destination to be valid.
3540 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3541 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3544 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3545 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3546 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3549 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3550 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3552 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3553 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3554 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3555 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3556 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3557 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3558 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3559 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3560 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3561 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3562 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3563 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3564 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3565 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3566 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3567 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3568 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3569 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3570 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3574 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3577 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3578 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3579 become part of libeay.num as well.
3582 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3583 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3584 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3585 false once a handshake has been completed.
3586 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3587 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3588 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3589 client has followed the request.)
3592 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3593 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3594 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3595 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3597 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3598 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3599 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3602 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3605 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3606 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3607 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3610 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3611 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3614 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3615 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3616 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3617 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3620 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3621 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3622 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3623 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3624 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3625 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3628 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3629 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3630 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3631 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3632 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3633 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3634 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3635 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3638 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3639 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3642 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3645 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3646 md_data void pointer.
3649 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3650 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3651 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3652 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3653 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3654 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3657 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3658 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3659 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3660 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3661 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3662 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3663 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3664 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3665 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3666 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3667 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3668 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3669 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3670 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3671 rather than letting it slide.
3673 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3674 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3675 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3678 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3679 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3680 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3681 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3682 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3683 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3684 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3685 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3686 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3689 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3690 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3691 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3692 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3693 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3695 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3698 *) Add EVP test program.
3701 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3704 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3705 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3706 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3707 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3708 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3711 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3712 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3713 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3714 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3715 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3716 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3717 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3719 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3720 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3721 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3726 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3727 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3728 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3729 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3730 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3734 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3735 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3736 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3737 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3740 des_key_schedule ks;
3742 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3743 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3745 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3748 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3749 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3750 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3751 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3752 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3753 functions prevents this.
3756 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3759 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3760 correct _ecb suffix.
3763 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3764 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3765 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3766 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3767 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3770 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3773 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3774 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3775 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3776 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3778 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3779 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3781 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3782 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3783 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3784 via Richard Levitte]
3786 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3787 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3788 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3789 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3792 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3795 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3796 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k
3797 des-cbc 4389.55k 5571.17k 5792.23k 5846.91k 5832.11k

3807 des-cbc 3624.96k 5258.21k 5530.91k 5624.30k 5628.26k
3810 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3811 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3813 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3814 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3815 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3816 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3817 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3818 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3821 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3822 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3825 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3826 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3827 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3828 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3830 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3831 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3832 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3833 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3834 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3835 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3839 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3840 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3841 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3842 and interrupts/cancellations.
3845 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3846 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3849 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3850 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3851 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3853 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3854 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3858 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3859 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3860 than this minimum value is recommended.
3863 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3864 that are easily reachable.
3867 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3868 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3870 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3872 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3873 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3874 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3875 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3878 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3879 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3880 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3883 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3884 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3885 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3886 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3887 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3888 internally such as S/MIME.
3890 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3891 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3892 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3894 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3898 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3899 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3900 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3901 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3903 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3905 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3907 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3908 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3909 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3913 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3914 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3915 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3916 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3917 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3918 a window system and the like.
3921 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3922 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3925 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3926 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3927 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3928 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3929 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3930 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3931 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3932 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3933 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3937 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3938 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3942 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3943 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3944 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3945 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3946 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3947 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3948 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3949 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3952 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3953 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3954 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3955 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3956 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3957 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3958 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3959 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3960 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3961 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3962 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3963 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3964 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3965 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3966 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3967 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3968 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3971 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3972 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3973 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3974 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3975 internal engine_int.h header.
3978 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3979 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3980 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3981 modify their own ones).
3984 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3985 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3986 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3987 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3988 later on via ctrl() commands.
3989 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3990 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3991 structural references.
3992 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3993 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3994 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3995 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3996 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3997 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3998 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3999 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4000 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4001 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4002 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4003 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4006 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4007 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4008 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4009 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4010 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4011 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4012 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4013 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4016 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4017 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4020 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4021 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4024 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4025 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4026 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4027 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4028 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4029 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4030 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4033 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4034 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4035 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4036 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4037 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4039 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4040 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4044 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4046 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4047 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4048 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4050 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4051 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4053 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4054 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4055 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4057 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4058 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4060 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4061 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4063 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4065 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4066 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4067 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4070 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4071 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4074 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4075 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4076 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4077 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4078 is 40 of more characters long.
4081 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4082 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4086 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4087 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4090 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4091 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4095 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4097 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4098 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4101 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4103 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4104 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4105 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4107 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4108 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4110 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4113 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4117 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4118 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4119 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4120 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4122 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4124 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4125 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4127 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4128 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4129 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4130 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4131 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4132 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4134 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4135 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4137 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4138 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4140 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4141 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4143 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4144 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4145 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4146 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4148 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4149 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4151 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4152 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4154 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4155 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4156 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4157 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4158 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4161 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4162 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4163 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4164 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4167 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4168 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4169 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4173 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4174 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4175 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4176 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4177 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4178 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4179 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4180 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4184 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4185 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4188 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4189 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4190 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4191 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4194 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4195 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4196 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4197 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4198 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4199 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4200 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4201 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4202 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4203 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4206 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4207 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4208 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4209 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4210 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4211 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4212 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4213 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4215 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4216 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4217 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4218 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4221 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4222 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4223 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4224 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4226 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4227 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4228 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4229 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4230 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4234 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4235 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4236 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4237 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4241 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4242 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4243 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4246 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4247 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4248 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4249 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4250 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4253 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4256 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4257 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4258 option to ocsp utility.
4261 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4262 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4263 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4264 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4265 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4266 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4267 the request is nonce-less.
4270 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4271 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4272 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4275 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4276 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4277 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4280 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4281 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4282 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4283 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4284 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4287 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4288 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4292 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4293 additional certificates supplied.
4296 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4297 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4301 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4302 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4305 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4306 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4307 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4308 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4309 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4310 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4311 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4312 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4313 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4315 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4316 request to response.
4319 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4320 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4321 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4322 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4323 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4324 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4325 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4326 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4327 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4328 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4329 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4332 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4333 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4334 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4335 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4338 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4339 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4341 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4342 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4343 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4346 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4347 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4348 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4349 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4350 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4352 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4353 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4354 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4357 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4358 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4359 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4360 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4361 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4362 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4363 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4364 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4366 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4367 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4368 not consistent with&nb
