5 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
8 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
9 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
10 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
11 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
12 or the 1.1.0 releases.
14 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
15 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
16 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
17 support for the deprecated features from the library and
18 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
19 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
20 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
21 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
24 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
25 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
26 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
27 compile with later releases.
29 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
30 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
31 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
32 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
33 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
36 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
37 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
38 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
39 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
40 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
41 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
42 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
43 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
46 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
49 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
50 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
51 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
54 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
55 include the ec.h header file instead.
58 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
59 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
60 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
63 *) Make EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD and HMAC_CTX opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the
64 following constructors and destructors were added:
66 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
67 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
69 For EVP_MD, a complete API to create, fill and destroy such
70 methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for
74 1) HMAC_CTX_cleanup() and EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() were removed,
75 HMAC_CTX_init() and EVP_MD_CTX_init() should be called instead
76 to reinitialise and already created structure. Also,
77 HMAC_CTX_init() and EVP_MD_CTX_init() now return 0 for failure
78 and 1 for success (they previously had the return type void).
79 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
80 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
81 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
82 for deprecated builds.
85 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
86 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
87 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
88 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
89 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
90 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
91 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
94 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
95 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
96 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
97 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
100 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
101 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
104 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
105 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
108 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
109 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
110 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
111 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
112 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
113 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
114 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
118 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
119 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
120 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
123 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
126 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
128 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
130 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
132 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
133 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
141 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
142 set a mandatory field to NULL.
144 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
145 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
146 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
150 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
153 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
154 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
155 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
156 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
159 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
160 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
161 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
162 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
165 *) Fix no-stdio build.
166 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
167 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
169 *) New testing framework
170 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
171 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
172 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
173 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
174 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
175 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
177 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
179 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
180 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
184 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
185 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
186 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
187 and others were changed. All are now documented.
190 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
192 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
194 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
195 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
197 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
198 original RSA_PSK patch.
201 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
202 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
203 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
204 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
207 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
208 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
211 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
212 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
213 hasn't been working properly for a while.
216 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
217 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
218 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
219 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
223 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
224 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
225 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
226 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
229 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
230 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
231 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
232 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
233 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
234 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
237 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
238 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
239 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
240 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
241 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
242 header file has been removed.
245 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
246 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
249 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
250 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
251 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
253 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
257 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
260 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
264 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
267 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
268 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
269 initial patch which was a great help during development.
272 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
273 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
274 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
275 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
278 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
279 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
280 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
281 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
282 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
283 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
286 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
287 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
288 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
289 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
292 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
293 compatible client hello.
296 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
297 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
298 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
300 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
303 *) Removed old DES API.
306 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
312 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
317 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
320 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
321 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
322 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
323 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
324 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
325 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
326 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
327 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
328 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
329 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
330 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
333 *) Cleaned up dead code
334 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
337 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
338 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
339 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
342 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
343 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
344 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
347 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
348 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
349 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
351 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
352 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
353 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
355 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
357 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
359 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
360 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
361 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
363 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
364 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
366 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
367 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
370 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
371 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
372 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
373 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
375 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
376 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
377 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
378 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
380 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
381 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
382 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
384 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
385 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
388 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
390 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
391 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
393 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
394 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
396 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
399 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
403 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
404 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
405 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
406 algorithms and include tests cases.
409 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
413 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
414 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
417 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
418 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
420 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
421 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
424 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
425 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
429 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
430 sign or verify all in one operation.
433 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
434 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
435 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
438 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
441 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
444 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
445 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
446 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
447 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
448 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
451 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
455 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
456 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
457 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
460 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
461 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
464 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
467 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
468 POST to handle HMAC cases.
471 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
472 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
475 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
476 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
477 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
480 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
481 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
482 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
483 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
484 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
485 requested amount of entropy.
488 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
489 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
492 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
493 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
494 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
498 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
499 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
500 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
503 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
504 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
505 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
506 will never use XTS mode.
509 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
510 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
511 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
512 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
513 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
514 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
517 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
518 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
519 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
520 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
523 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
524 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
525 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
528 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
531 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
534 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
535 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
538 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
539 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
542 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
543 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
546 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
547 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
548 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
549 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
550 and rename any affected symbols.
553 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
554 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
557 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
558 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
559 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
562 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
565 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
566 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
567 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
570 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
571 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
574 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
575 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
576 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
577 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
578 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
579 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
583 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
584 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
585 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
586 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
587 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
588 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
589 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
590 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
593 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
594 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
597 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
599 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
600 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
602 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
603 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
604 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
605 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
606 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
607 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
609 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
610 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
611 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
613 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
615 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
619 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
620 Add CMAC pkey methods.
623 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
624 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
625 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
628 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
629 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
630 multi-process servers.
633 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
634 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
635 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
636 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
637 RAND_METHOD structure.
640 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
641 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
642 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
643 whose return value is often ignored.
646 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
648 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
650 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
651 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
652 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
653 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
654 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
655 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
656 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
657 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
658 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
659 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
660 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
661 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
663 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
667 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
669 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
670 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
671 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
672 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
673 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
674 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
675 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
678 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
682 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
684 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
685 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
686 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
687 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
689 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
694 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
695 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
696 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
697 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
700 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,

704 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
706 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
708 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
709 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
710 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
711 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
712 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
713 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
715 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
719 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
721 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
722 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
726 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
728 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
730 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
731 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
734 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
735 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
736 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
737 client authentication enabled.
739 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
743 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
745 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
746 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
747 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
750 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
751 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
752 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
753 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
754 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
757 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
758 independently by Hanno Böck.
762 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
764 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
765 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
766 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
768 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
769 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
770 servers are not affected.
772 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
776 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
778 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
779 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
780 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
782 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
786 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
788 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
789 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
790 a double free of the ticket data.
794 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
795 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
796 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
799 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
801 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
803 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
804 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
805 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
807 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
810 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
812 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
814 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
815 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
816 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
817 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
818 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
819 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
820 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
821 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
823 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
827 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
829 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
830 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
831 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
832 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
833 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
834 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
835 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
836 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
839 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
843 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
845 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
846 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
847 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
848 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
849 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
850 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
854 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
856 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
857 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
858 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
859 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
860 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
861 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
862 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
864 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
868 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
870 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
871 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
872 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
874 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
875 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
876 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
881 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
883 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
884 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
885 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
887 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
888 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
889 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
891 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
895 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
897 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
898 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
899 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
901 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
902 (OpenSSL development team).
906 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
908 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
909 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
910 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
914 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
916 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
917 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
918 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
919 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
920 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
921 SSL_client_methodv23)
922 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
923 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
925 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
926 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
927 output may be predictable.
929 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
930 succeed on an unpatched platform:
932 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
936 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
938 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
939 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
940 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
941 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
942 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
943 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
945 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
950 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
952 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
953 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
955 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
959 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
962 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
964 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
965 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
966 So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise
967 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
968 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
969 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
972 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
973 (other platforms pending).
974 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
976 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
977 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
980 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
981 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
982 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
985 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
986 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
987 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
988 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
991 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
992 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
994 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
995 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
996 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
997 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
998 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1000 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1003 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1004 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1005 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1006 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1008 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1010 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1012 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1013 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1014 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1017 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1020 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1021 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1022 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1025 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1026 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1029 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1030 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1033 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1034 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1035 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1036 algorithms and include tests cases.
1039 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1041 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1043 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1044 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1047 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1048 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1049 summary of the connection parameters.
1052 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1053 of connection parameters.
1056 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1057 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1059 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1060 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1063 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1066 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1067 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1070 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1071 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1074 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1078 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1079 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1080 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1083 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1086 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1087 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1090 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1091 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1092 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1096 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1097 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1100 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1104 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1108 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1109 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1110 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1111 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1114 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1115 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1118 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1119 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1120 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1124 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1125 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1126 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1127 use the certificate.
1130 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1133 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1134 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1135 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
1136 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1137 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
1138 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1139 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1141 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1142 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1146 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1147 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1148 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1151 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1152 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1153 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1154 supported signature algorithms.
1157 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1160 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1161 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1162 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1163 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1164 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1165 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1166 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1169 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1170 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1171 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1172 to have similar checks in it.
1174 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1175 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1176 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1177 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1178 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1181 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1182 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1183 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1184 shared signature algorithms.
1187 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1188 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1192 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1193 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1194 it couldn't be removed.
1197 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1198 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
1201 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
1202 functions. Add manual page.
1203 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
1205 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
1206 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
1210 *) Fix OCSP checking.
1211 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
1213 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
1214 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
1215 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
1216 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
1220 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
1221 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
1224 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
1225 platform support for Linux and Android.
1228 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
1231 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1232 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
1233 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
1234 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
1235 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
1238 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
1239 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
1240 the new parameter format automatically.
1243 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
1244 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
1247 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
1250 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
1251 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
1252 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
1253 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
1254 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
1257 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
1258 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
1259 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
1260 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
1261 to set list of supported curves.
1264 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
1265 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
1266 to print out received values.
1269 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
1270 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
1271 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
1274 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
1275 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
1278 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
1279 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
1282 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
1286 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
1288 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
1289 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
1290 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
1292 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
1294 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
1295 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
1297 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
1299 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
1300 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
1301 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
1302 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
1306 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
1307 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
1308 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
1309 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
1310 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
1311 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
1315 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
1316 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
1317 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
1318 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
1322 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
1325 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
1326 reporting this issue.
1330 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
1331 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
1332 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
1333 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
1334 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
1335 INRIA or reporting this issue.
1339 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
1340 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
1341 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
1342 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
1343 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
1344 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
1345 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
1350 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
1351 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
1353 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
1354 and can vary with the CTX.
1357 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
1359 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
1360 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
1361 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
1362 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
1363 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
1365 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
1367 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
1368 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
1370 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
1372 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
1373 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
1374 errors for some broken certificates.
1376 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
1378 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
1380 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
1381 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
1383 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
1384 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
1385 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
1386 (negative or with leading zeroes).
1388 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
1389 of the OpenSSL core team.
1394 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
1395 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
1396 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
1397 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
1398 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
1399 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
1400 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
1401 the OpenSSL core team.
1405 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
1406 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
1407 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
1408 sanity and breaks all known clients.
1409 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
1411 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
1412 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
1413 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
1416 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
1417 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
1418 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1419 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
1420 announced in the initial ServerHello.
1422 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
1423 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
1424 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
1427 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
1429 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
1431 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
1432 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
1433 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
1434 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
1435 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
1436 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
1437 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
1439 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
1443 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
1445 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
1446 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
1447 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
1448 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
1449 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
1454 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
1456 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
1457 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
1458 configured to send them.
1460 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
1462 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
1463 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
1464 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
1466 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1468 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
1470 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
1471 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
1472 DigestInfo structures.
1474 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
1478 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
1480 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
1481 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
1482 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
1484 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
1485 Group for discovering this issue.
1489 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
1490 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
1491 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
1492 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
1493 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
1495 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
1496 researching this issue.
1500 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
1501 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
1502 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
1503 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
1505 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
1510 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
1511 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1512 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1516 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
1517 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
1518 Denial of Service attack.
1519 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
1523 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
1524 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
1525 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
1526 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
1531 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
1532 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
1533 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
1535 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
1540 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
1541 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
1542 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
1543 Denial of Service attack.
1545 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
1546 discovering and researching this issue.
1550 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
1551 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
1552 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
1553 output to the attacker.
1555 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
1557 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
1559 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1560 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1561 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1564 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
1566 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
1567 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
1568 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
1570 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
1571 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
1572 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
1574 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
1575 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
1578 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
1580 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
1582 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
1583 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
1584 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
1585 code on a vulnerable client or server.
1587 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
1588 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
1590 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
1591 are subject to a denial of service attack.
1593 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
1594 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
1595 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
1597 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
1599 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1601 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
1602 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
1603 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1605 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
1606 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
1608 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
1610 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
1611 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
1614 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
1615 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
1616 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
1617 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
1619 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
1620 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
1621 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
1622 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
1624 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
1625 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
1626 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
1628 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
1630 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
1631 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
1632 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
1633 is at least 512 bytes long.
1635 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
1637 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
1639 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
1640 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
1641 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
1644 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
1645 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
1646 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
1649 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
1650 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
1651 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
1652 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
1653 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
1654 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
1655 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
1657 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
1659 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
1660 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
1661 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1663 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
1665 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1667 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1668 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1669 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1671 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1672 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1673 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1674 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1676 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1678 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
1679 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
1680 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
1681 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
1682 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
1686 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1687 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1690 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
1691 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1693 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1694 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1695 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1696 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1697 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1699 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1702 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
1706 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
1708 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
1709 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
1711 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1712 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1716 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1717 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1720 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
1724 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
1726 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
1727 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
1728 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
1729 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
1730 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
1731 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
1732 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
1733 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
1734 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
1735 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
1738 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
1739 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
1740 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
1741 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
1742 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
1743 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
1747 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
1749 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1750 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1751 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1753 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1754 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1756 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1758 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
1761 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
1762 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
1764 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
1765 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
1766 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
1767 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
1768 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
1769 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
1770 Most broken servers should now work.
1771 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
1772 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
1775 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
1778 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
1780 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
1781 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
1784 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
1785 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
1786 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
1787 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
1788 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
1791 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
1792 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
1793 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
1794 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
1795 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
1798 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
1799 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1801 *) Add support for SCTP.
1802 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
1804 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1805 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1807 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
1809 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
1810 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
1811 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
1812 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
1813 - s390x: z196 support;
1814 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
1818 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
1819 (removal of unnecessary code)
1820 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
1822 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
1825 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
1828 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
1829 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
1830 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
1832 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
1834 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
1835 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
1836 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
1837 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
1838 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
1840 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
1841 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
1842 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
1844 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
1845 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
1846 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
1848 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
1849 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
1851 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1853 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
1854 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
1855 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
1858 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
1859 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
1863 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
1864 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
1865 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
1868 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
1869 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
1870 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
1871 the appropriate parameters.
1874 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
1875 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
1876 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
1877 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
1878 against a number of sample certificates.
1881 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
1882 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
1884 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
1885 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
1887 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
1888 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
1892 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
1896 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
1897 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
1898 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
1899 password based CMS).
1902 *) Session-handling fixes:
1903 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
1904 but also support Session Tickets.
1905 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
1906 presented a ticket with an expired session.
1907 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
1908 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
1909 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
1910 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1912 *) Fix PSK session representation.
1915 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
1917 This work was sponsored by Intel.
1920 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
1921 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
1922 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
1923 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
1924 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
1927 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
1928 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
1931 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
1932 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
1933 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
1936 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
1937 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
1938 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
1939 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
1942 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
1943 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
1944 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
1947 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
1948 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
1950 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
1953 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
1954 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
1957 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1960 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
1961 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
1964 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
1965 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
1968 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
1971 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
1972 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
1973 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
1976 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1979 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
1982 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
1983 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
1986 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
1987 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
1988 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
1991 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
1994 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
1998 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
1999 FIPS modules versions.
2002 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2003 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2004 until after the certificate request message is received.
2007 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2008 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2009 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2010 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2013 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2014 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2015 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2016 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2019 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2020 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2021 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2022 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2023 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2024 and version checking.
2027 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2028 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2029 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2030 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2034 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2036 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2039 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2040 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2041 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2043 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2044 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2045 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2048 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2049 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2051 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2052 a few changes are required:
2054 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2055 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2056 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2057 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2058 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2061 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2063 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2064 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2065 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2066 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2067 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2068 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2069 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2070 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2071 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2074 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2075 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2076 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2079 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2081 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2082 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2083 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2084 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2087 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2089 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2090 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2091 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2092 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2093 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2094 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2095 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2096 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2097 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2098 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2099 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2100 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2101 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2103 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2105 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2107 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2108 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2109 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2110 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2112 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2113 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2115 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2116 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2117 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2118 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2120 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2121 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2123 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2124 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2126 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2127 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2129 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2130 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2131 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2133 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2134 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2135 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2137 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2138 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2139 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2140 the last update always remained unused).
2141 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2143 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2144 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2146 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2148 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2149 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2150 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2152 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2153 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2154 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2156 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2159 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2160 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2161 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2164 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2165 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2167 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2169 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2171 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2173 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2174 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2176 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2177 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2181 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2183 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2184 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2185 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2188 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2189 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2190 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2193 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2195 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2196 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2197 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2200 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
2204 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
2206 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
2208 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
2210 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
2212 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
2213 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
2214 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
2217 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
2220 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
2221 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
2222 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
2224 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
2225 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
2226 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
2229 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
2230 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
2233 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
2234 some responders need this.
2237 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
2239 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2241 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
2242 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
2243 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
2246 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
2249 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
2250 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
2251 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
2252 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
2253 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
2254 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
2255 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
2256 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
2259 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
2260 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
2261 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
2262 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2264 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
2265 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
2267 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
2271 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
2272 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
2273 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
2274 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
2275 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
2276 attempting to work them out.
2279 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
2280 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
2281 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
2282 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
2285 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
2286 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
2287 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
2288 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
2289 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
2292 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
2293 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
2300 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
2302 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
2306 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
2307 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2309 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
2310 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
2312 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
2313 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
2314 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
2315 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
2316 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
2319 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
2320 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
2321 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
2324 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
2325 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
2328 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
2329 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
2331 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
2332 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
2335 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
2338 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
2339 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
2340 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
2344 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
2345 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
2346 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
2347 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
2348 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
2349 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
2352 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
2353 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
2355 This work was sponsored by Google.
2358 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
2359 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
2360 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
2361 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
2362 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
2363 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
2364 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
2367 This work was sponsored by Google.
2370 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
2372 This work was sponsored by Google.
2375 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
2376 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
2377 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
2378 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
2380 This work was sponsored by Google.
2383 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
2384 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
2385 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
2386 CRL functionality in future.
2388 This work was sponsored by Google.
2391 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
2393 This work was sponsored by Google.
2396 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
2397 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
2399 This work was sponsored by Google.
2402 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
2403 and URI types are currently supported.
2405 This work was sponsored by Google.
2408 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
2409 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
2410 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
2411 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
2412 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
2413 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
2414 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
2415 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
2417 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
2418 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
2419 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
2421 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
2422 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
2423 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
2424 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
2426 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
2427 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
2428 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
2429 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
2430 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
2431 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
2432 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
2433 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
2435 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
2437 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
2438 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
2439 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
2441 This work was sponsored by Google.
2444 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
2447 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2448 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
2449 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
2452 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
2453 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
2456 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
2457 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
2460 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
2461 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
2462 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
2463 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
2464 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
2465 content types and variants.
2468 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
2471 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
2472 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
2473 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
2474 files from the associated perl scripts.
2477 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
2478 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
2479 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2481 *) s390x assembler pack.
2484 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
2488 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
2489 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
2490 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
2491 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
2492 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
2493 to use. For example, specify an option
2495 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
2497 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
2498 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
2499 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
2500 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
2501 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
2502 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
2504 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
2505 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
2506 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
2507 return non-zero for success.
2509 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
2512 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
2513 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
2517 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
2520 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
2521 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
2522 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
2523 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
2524 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
2525 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
2526 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
2527 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
2528 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
2530 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
2531 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
2532 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
2533 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
2534 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
2535 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
2537 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
2538 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
2539 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
2540 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
2541 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
2542 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
2546 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
2549 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
2551 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2552 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2553 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2556 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2557 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2560 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2561 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2562 with no application modification.
2564 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2565 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2567 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2568 or server extensions to be examined.

2573 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
2574 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
2575 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
2577 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
2578 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
2579 ciphersuite support.
2580 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
2582 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
2583 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
2584 to output in BER and PEM format.
2587 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
2588 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
2589 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
2590 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
2591 -macopt options to dgst utility.
2594 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
2595 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
2596 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
2600 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
2601 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
2602 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
2603 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
2604 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
2605 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
2606 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
2607 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
2610 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
2611 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
2612 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
2613 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
2615 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
2616 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
2617 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
2621 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
2622 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
2623 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
2624 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
2625 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
2626 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
2627 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
2628 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
2629 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
2631 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
2632 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
2633 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
2634 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
2635 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
2636 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
2637 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
2638 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
2639 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
2640 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
2641 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
2644 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
2645 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
2646 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
2648 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
2649 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
2653 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
2654 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
2655 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
2658 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
2659 it yet and it is largely untested.
2662 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
2665 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
2666 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
2667 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
2670 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
2673 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
2674 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
2675 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
2676 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
2679 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
2680 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
2681 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
2682 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
2683 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
2686 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
2687 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
2690 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
2691 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
2692 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
2693 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
2696 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
2697 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
2698 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
2699 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
2702 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
2703 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
2706 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
2707 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
2708 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
2709 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
2712 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
2713 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
2714 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
2717 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
2721 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
2722 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
2725 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
2726 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
2727 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
2731 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
2732 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
2733 to free up any added signature OIDs.
2736 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
2737 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
2738 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
2739 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
2742 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
2743 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
2744 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
2745 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
2746 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
2747 the array representation useful in a more general context.
2750 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
2751 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
2752 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
2753 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
2754 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
2756 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
2757 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
2758 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
2759 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
2760 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
2763 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
2764 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
2765 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
2766 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
2768 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
2769 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
2770 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
2771 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
2772 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
2778 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
2779 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
2783 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
2784 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
2787 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
2788 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
2791 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
2792 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
2793 functional reference processing.
2796 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
2797 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
2801 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
2802 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
2803 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
2806 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
2807 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
2808 application to support multiple signers.
2811 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
2815 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
2816 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
2817 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
2818 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
2819 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
2822 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
2826 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
2827 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
2828 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
2829 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
2833 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
2834 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
2835 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
2836 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
2837 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
2838 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
2839 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
2840 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
2843 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
2844 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
2845 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
2846 between digests and public key types.
2849 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
2850 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
2851 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
2852 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
2855 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
2856 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
2860 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
2863 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
2867 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
2868 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
2869 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
2870 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
2875 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2877 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
2879 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
2881 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
2882 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
2883 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
2884 functionality for RSA.
2887 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
2888 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
2889 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
2892 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
2893 key API, doesn't do much yet.
2896 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
2897 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
2898 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
2901 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
2902 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2905 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
2906 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
2909 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
2910 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
2914 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
2915 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
2916 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
2920 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
2921 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
2922 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
2923 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
2924 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
2925 of public and private key structures.
2928 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
2929 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
2932 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
2933 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
2934 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
2937 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
2941 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
2942 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
2943 SSL_get_psk_identity
2944 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
2946 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
2948 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
2949 and response verification functionality.
2950 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
2952 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2953 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2954 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2955 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2956 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2957 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2958 server_name extension.
2960 New functions (subject to change):
2962 SSL_get_servername()
2963 SSL_get_servername_type()
2966 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2968 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2969 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2970 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2971 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2972 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2974 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2976 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2977 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2978 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2979 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2980 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
2981 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2984 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
2986 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
2989 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
2990 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
2991 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
2992 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
2993 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
2996 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
2997 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3001 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3002 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3003 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3004 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3007 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3008 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3009 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3010 using the maximum available value.
3013 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3014 in addition to the text details.
3017 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3018 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3019 handle several customised structures at all.
3022 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3023 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3024 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3027 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3030 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3031 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3032 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3035 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3036 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3037 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3040 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3041 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3045 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3048 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3051 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3053 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3054 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3055 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3056 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3057 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3058 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3059 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3060 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3062 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3063 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3064 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3066 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3068 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3069 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3071 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3072 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3075 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3076 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3077 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3080 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3081 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3082 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3083 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3084 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3085 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3088 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3089 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3090 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3093 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3094 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3095 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3096 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3097 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3098 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3102 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3103 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3106 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3107 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3108 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3111 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3114 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3115 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3116 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3117 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3118 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3119 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3120 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3121 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3122 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3125 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3126 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3127 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3130 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3131 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3134 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3135 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3136 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3137 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3138 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3139 know what you are doing.
3140 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3142 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3143 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3144 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3145 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3146 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3147 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3151 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3152 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3153 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3155 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3157 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3158 warnings in other configurations.
3161 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3162 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3163 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3165 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3167 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3168 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3169 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3171 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3172 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3173 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3174 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3177 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3181 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3182 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3184 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3186 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3187 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3188 other than a simple chain.
3189 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3191 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3192 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3193 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3194 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3197 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3198 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3199 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3200 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3201 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
3202 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
3203 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
3204 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
3205 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3207 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
3208 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
3209 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
3210 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
3211 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
3212 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
3214 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
3216 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
3217 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
3220 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
3221 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
3224 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
3226 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
3228 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
3229 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
3230 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
3231 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
3232 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
3236 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
3238 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
3239 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
3240 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
3241 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
3243 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
3244 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
3245 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
3246 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3248 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
3249 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
3250 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
3253 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
3254 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
3258 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
3259 to handle some structures.
3262 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
3264 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
3266 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
3269 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
3272 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
3275 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
3276 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
3280 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
3282 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
3284 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
3286 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
3289 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
3290 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
3291 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
3292 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
3294 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
3295 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
3297 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
3298 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
3301 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
3302 s_client and s_server.
3305 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
3306 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
3308 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
3309 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
3311 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
3312 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
3313 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
3314 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
3315 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
3318 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
3320 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
3321 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
3324 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
3325 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
3328 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
3329 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
3330 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
3331 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
3333 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
3334 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
3336 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
3338 *) Various precautionary measures:
3340 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
3342 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
3343 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
3344 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
3346 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
3347 outside the expected range.
3349 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
3352 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
3354 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
3355 the load fails. Useful for distros.
3356 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
3358 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
3361 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
3364 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
3366 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3369 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
3370 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
3371 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
3373 This work was sponsored by Logica.
3376 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
3377 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
3378 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
3382 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
3384 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
3385 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
3386 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
3387 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
3389 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
3390 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
3393 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
3395 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
3396 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
3397 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
3399 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
3401 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
3402 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
3403 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
3404 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
3407 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
3408 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
3409 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
3410 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
3411 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
3412 invalid read after the end of 'db').
3413 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
3415 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
3417 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
3418 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
3419 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
3420 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
3421 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
3423 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
3424 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
3426 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
3427 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
3428 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
3429 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
3430 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
3432 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
3434 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
3435 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
3436 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
3437 sets may exist with different names.
3440 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
3441 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
3442 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
3443 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
3444 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
3445 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
3446 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
3447 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
3448 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
3450 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
3452 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
3453 implemention in the following ways:
3455 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
3458 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
3459 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
3460 ignored for embedded content.
3462 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
3463 with the enable-cms configuration option.
3466 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
3467 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
3468 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
3469 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
3471 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
3472 uncompresses any data passed through it.
3475 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
3476 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
3479 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
3480 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
3481 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
3482 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
3483 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
3484 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
3488 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
3489 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
3490 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
3494 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
3495 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
3496 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
3497 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
3498 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
3499 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
3500 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
3501 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
3503 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
3504 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
3505 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
3506 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
3507 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
3508 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
3509 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
3511 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
3512 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
3513 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
3514 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
3515 to s_client and s_server.
3518 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
3520 *) Fix various bugs:
3521 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
3522 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
3523 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
3524 + Fix ia64 assembler code
3525 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
3527 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
3529 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
3530 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
3531 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
3532 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
3533 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
3534 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
3535 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
3536 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
3539 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
3540 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
3541 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
3544 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3545 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3546 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3549 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3550 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3553 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3554 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3555 with no application modification.
3557 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3558 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3560 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3561 or server extensions to be examined.
3563 This work was sponsored by Google.
3566 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3567 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3568 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3569 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3570 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3571 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3572 server_name extension.
3574 New functions (subject to change):
3576 SSL_get_servername()
3577 SSL_get_servername_type()
3580 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3582 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3583 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3584 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3585 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3586 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3588 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3590 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3591 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3592 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3593 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3594 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3595 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3598 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
3600 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
3603 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
3606 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
3607 (which previously caused an internal error).
3610 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
3613 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
3614 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
3616 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
3617 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
3618 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
3620 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
3621 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
3622 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
3623 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
3625 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3626 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3627 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
3628 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
3630 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
3631 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
3632 information. For detailed background information, see
3633 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
3634 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
3635 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
3636 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
3637 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
3638 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
3639 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
3640 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
3641 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
3642 remove a conditional branch.
3644 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
3645 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
3646 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
3647 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
3648 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
3649 remains as a deprecated alias.
3651 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
3652 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
3653 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
3654 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
3656 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
3657 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
3658 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
3659 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
3660 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
3661 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
3662 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
3663 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
3665 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
3667 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
3668 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
3669 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
3670 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
3671 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
3672 with applications using a single external cache for quite
3673 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
3674 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
3675 in a different context.
3678 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3679 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3680 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3683 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
3684 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
3685 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
3687 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
3689 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
3690 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
3691 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3692 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
3693 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
3696 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
3697 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
3698 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
3699 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
3700 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
3701 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
3704 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3705 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3706 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3707 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3708 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3711 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
3712 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
3714 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3715 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3716 Improve header file function name parsing.
3719 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
3720 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
3723 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
3725 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3726 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3727 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3729 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3730 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3732 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3733 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3735 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3736 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3737 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3739 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
3740 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
3741 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
3742 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
3743 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
3744 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
3745 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
3746 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
3747 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
3749 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
3750 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
3751 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
3752 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
3753 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
3755 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
3756 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
3757 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
3758 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
3759 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
3760 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
3761 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
3762 multiple values to extend the available space.
3766 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
3768 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3769 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3771 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
3774 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3775 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3776 undesirable limitations.
3777 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3779 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
3780 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
3781 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
3782 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
3783 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
3784 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
3785 to avoid potential handshake problems.
3788 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3790 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3791 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3792 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3794 The latter two were purportedly from
3795 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3798 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3799 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3800 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3803 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3804 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3807 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3808 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3809 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3810 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3812 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3813 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3814 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3817 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3818 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3819 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3820 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3821 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3822 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3825 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3827 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3828 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3831 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3832 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3834 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3835 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3836 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3837 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3840 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3841 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3844 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3845 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3846 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3847 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3848 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3849 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3850 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3854 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3855 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3856 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3857 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3860 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3861 under VC++ build system.
3864 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3865 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3868 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3870 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3871 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3872 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3873 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3874 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3876 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3877 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3878 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3880 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3883 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3884 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3887 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3888 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3890 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3893 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3894 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3896 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3897 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3900 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3901 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3905 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3907 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3910 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3913 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3914 key into the same file any more.
3917 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3920 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3921 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3923 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3924 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3927 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3928 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3929 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3930 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3931 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3932 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3934 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3935 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3936 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3939 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3940 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3941 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3942 - add new function for parameter creation
3943 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3944 BN_BLINDING parameters
3945 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3946 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3947 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3951 *) Add support for DTLS.
3952 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3954 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3955 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3958 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
3959 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3962 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3963 the apps/openssl applications.
3966 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3967 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3968 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3971 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3972 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3974 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3975 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3977 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3978 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3979 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3980 avoid this algorithm.)
3984 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3985 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3986 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3989 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3990 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3993 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3994 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3995 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3998 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4000 The blank line is mandatory.
4004 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4005 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4009 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4010 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4012 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4013 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4014 to support policy checking and print out.
4017 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4018 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4019 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4020 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4022 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4025 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4026 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4028 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4029 implementation contributed by IBM.
4030 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4032 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4033 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4034 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4035 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4037 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4038 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4040 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4041 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4042 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4043 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4044 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4045 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4048 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4049 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4050 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4051 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4052 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4053 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4054 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4057 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4060 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4061 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4062 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4063 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4064 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4065 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4066 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4067 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4070 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4071 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4072 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4073 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4076 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4079 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4082 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4083 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4084 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4085 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4086 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4087 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4088 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4091 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4092 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4095 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4096 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4097 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4100 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4101 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4102 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4106 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4107 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4110 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4111 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4112 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4113 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4116 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4117 initialised value as BN_new().
4118 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4120 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4123 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4124 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4125 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4126 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4127 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4128 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4129 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4130 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4131 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4132 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4133 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4134 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4135 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4136 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4137 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4139 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4140 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4141 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4142 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4145 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4146 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4147 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4148 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4149 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4150 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4151 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4152 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4153 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4156 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4157 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4158 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4159 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4160 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4161 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4162 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4165 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4166 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4167 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4168 these have been updated also.
4171 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4172 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4173 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4174 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4175 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4179 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4180 structure of type "other".
4183 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4184 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4185 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4186 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4187 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4188 situation in the script.
4189 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4191 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4192 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4193 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4194 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4195 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4196 used as premaster secret.
4197 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4199 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4200 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4201 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4203 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
4204 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
4206 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
4207 control of the error stack.
4210 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
4213 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
4214 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
4215 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
4216 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
4219 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
4220 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
4221 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
4224 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
4225 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
4226 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
4230 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
4231 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
4232 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
4233 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
4236 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
4237 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
4238 the following flags are defined:
4240 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
4241 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4242 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
4245 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
4246 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
4247 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
4248 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
4252 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
4253 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
4254 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
4255 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
4256 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
4259 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
4260 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
4261 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
4264 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
4265 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
4266 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
4267 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
4268 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
4269 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
4272 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
4276 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
4279 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
4282 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
4285 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
4286 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
4287 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
4288 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
4289 default implementation more easily.
4292 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
4296 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
4297 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
4300 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
4301 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
4302 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
4303 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
4305 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
4306 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
4307 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
4308 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
4311 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
4312 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
4316 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
4317 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
4318 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
4319 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
4320 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
4321 scalar * generator).
4322 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
4324 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
4325 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
4326 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
4330 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
4331 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
4332 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
4333 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
4334 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
4335 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
4336 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
4337 linker additions, eg;
4338 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
4341 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
4342 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
4343 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
4346 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4347 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4348 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
4352 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
4353 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
4354 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
4355 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
4358 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
4359 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
4360 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
4361 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
4362 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
4363 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
4364 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
4365 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
4366 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
4367 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
4369 Example for using the new callback interface:
4371 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
4375 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
4377 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
4378 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
4379 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
4380 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
4381 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
4382 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
4387 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
4388 available to TLS with the number defined in
4389 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
4392 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
4393 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
4395 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
4396 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4397 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
4398 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
4400 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
4401 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
4403 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
4404 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
4408 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
4409 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
4412 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
4413 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
4414 and a macro that behave like
4415 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
4417 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
