5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
7 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
8 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
9 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
10 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
12 TODO: COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT do not handle ECCdraft
13 cipher suites correctly.
15 *) Add ECDH engine support.
16 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
18 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
19 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
21 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
22 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
25 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
26 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
27 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
30 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
31 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
33 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
34 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
36 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
37 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
44 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
45 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
46 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
47 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
48 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
49 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
51 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
52 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
55 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
56 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
57 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
58 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
59 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
60 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
61 various internal method names.)
63 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
64 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
66 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
67 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
69 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
70 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
72 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
73 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
74 methods are undefined.
76 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
77 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
79 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
80 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
81 length of the modulus.
83 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
84 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
86 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
87 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
89 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
90 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
92 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
93 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
94 used) in the following functions [macros]:
97 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
98 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
99 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
100 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
102 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
103 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
104 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
105 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
107 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
108 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
110 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
111 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
112 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
113 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
114 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
116 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
117 This applies to the following functions:
122 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
123 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
126 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
130 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
135 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
137 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
138 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
139 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
140 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
141 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
143 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
144 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
146 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
147 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
148 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
150 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
151 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
153 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
154 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
155 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
156 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
157 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
159 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
161 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
162 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
163 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
164 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
165 These control ASN1 encoding details:
166 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
167 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
168 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
169 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
170 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
171 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
172 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
174 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
178 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
179 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
180 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
182 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
183 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
184 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
185 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
192 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
193 EC_POINT_oct2point().
194 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
196 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
197 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
198 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
200 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
201 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
202 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
203 adding different types of curves.
204 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
206 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
207 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
208 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
211 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
212 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
214 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
215 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
216 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
217 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
219 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
221 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
222 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
224 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
225 library. Most notably,
226 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
227 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
228 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
229 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
230 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
231 extracted before the specific public key;
232 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
233 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
235 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
236 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. The curves can be obtained from the new
238 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid()
239 EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
240 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
244 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
246 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.7 [XX xxx 2002]
248 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
249 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
250 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
251 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
253 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
254 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
255 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
257 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
258 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
259 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
260 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
262 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
263 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
264 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
267 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
268 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
269 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
270 mkdir -p objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
271 cd objtree/`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`
272 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f -o -type l) | while read F; do
273 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
274 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
277 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
278 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
279 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
282 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
283 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
284 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
285 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
286 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
288 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
289 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
291 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
292 error in AES-CFB decryption.
295 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
296 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
297 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
298 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
299 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
300 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
303 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
304 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
305 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
308 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
309 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
312 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
313 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
314 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
315 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
316 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
317 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
318 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
321 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
322 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
323 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
324 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
325 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
326 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
329 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
330 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
331 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
332 declaration has been changed from
335 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
336 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
337 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
338 has been changed into
339 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
341 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
342 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
343 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
345 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
346 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
348 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
349 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
350 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
351 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
352 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
353 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
354 always load it have also been added.
357 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
358 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
359 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
361 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
363 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
364 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
365 because it couldn't be used for anything.
367 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
368 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
369 command line option can be used to specify an
373 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
374 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
377 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
378 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
379 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
382 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
383 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
384 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
385 to work with the new engine framework.
386 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
388 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
389 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
390 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
391 to work with the new engine framework.
394 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
395 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
396 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
398 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
399 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
401 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
402 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
403 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
404 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
406 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
408 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
409 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
411 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
412 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
414 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
415 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
416 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
421 ERR_peek_last_error_line
422 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
426 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
427 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
428 still in the error queue.
429 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
431 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
433 default_algorithms = ALL
434 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
437 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
440 *) New experimental application configuration code.
443 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
444 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
445 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
446 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
448 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
449 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
451 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
452 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
454 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
455 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
458 *) New functions/macros
460 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
461 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
462 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
463 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
465 to request calling a callback function
467 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
468 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
470 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
471 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
472 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
473 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
474 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
475 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
476 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
477 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
478 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
479 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
481 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
482 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
485 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
486 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
487 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
488 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
489 the configuration scripts.
491 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
492 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
493 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
495 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
496 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
498 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
499 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
500 when reusing an existing buffer.
503 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
504 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
507 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
508 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
511 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
512 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
513 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
515 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
517 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
518 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
519 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
520 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
521 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
522 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
525 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
526 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
527 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
528 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
530 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
531 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
532 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
533 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
535 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
536 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
539 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
540 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
541 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
542 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
543 default), and then completely removed.
546 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
547 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
548 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
549 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
550 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
551 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
552 particular extension is supported.
555 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
556 to retain compatibility with existing code.
559 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
560 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
561 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
562 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
563 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
564 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
565 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
566 requires the destination to be valid.
568 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
569 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
572 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
573 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
574 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
577 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
578 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
580 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
581 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
582 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
583 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
584 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
585 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
586 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
587 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
588 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
589 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
590 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
591 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
592 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
593 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
594 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
595 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
596 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
597 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
598 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
602 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
605 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
606 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
607 become part of libeay.num as well.
610 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
611 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
612 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
613 false once a handshake has been completed.
614 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
615 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
616 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
617 client has followed the request.)
620 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
621 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
622 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
623 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
625 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
626 more bits available for options that should not be part of
627 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
630 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
633 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
634 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
635 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
638 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
639 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
642 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
643 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
644 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
645 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
648 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
649 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
650 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
651 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
652 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
653 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
656 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
657 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
658 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
659 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
660 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
661 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
662 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
663 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
666 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
667 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
670 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
673 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
674 md_data void pointer.
677 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
678 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
679 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
680 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
681 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
682 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
685 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
686 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
687 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
688 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
689 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
690 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
691 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
692 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
693 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
694 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
695 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
696 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
697 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
698 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
699 rather than letting it slide.
701 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
702 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
703 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
706 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
707 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
708 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
709 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
710 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
711 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
712 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
713 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
714 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
717 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
718 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
719 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
720 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
721 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
723 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
726 *) Add EVP test program.
729 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
732 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
733 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
734 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
735 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
736 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
739 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
740 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
741 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
742 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
743 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
744 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
745 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
747 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
748 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
749 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
754 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
755 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
756 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
757 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
758 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
762 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
763 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
764 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
765 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
770 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
771 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
773 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
776 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
777 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
778 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
779 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
780 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
781 functions prevents this.
784 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
787 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
791 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
792 revocation information is handled using the text based index
793 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
794 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
795 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
798 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
801 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
802 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
803 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
804 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
806 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
807 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
809 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
810 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
811 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
814 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
815 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
816 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
817 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
820 *) Speed up EVP routines.
823 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
824 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

838 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
839 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
841 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
842 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
843 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
844 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
845 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
846 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
849 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
850 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
853 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
854 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
855 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
856 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
858 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
859 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
860 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
861 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
862 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
863 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
867 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
868 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
869 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
870 and interrupts/cancellations.
873 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
874 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
877 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
878 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
879 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
881 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
882 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
886 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
887 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
888 than this minimum value is recommended.
891 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
892 that are easily reachable.
895 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
896 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
898 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
900 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
901 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
902 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
903 needed for static libraries under Win32.
906 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
907 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
908 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
911 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
912 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
913 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
914 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
915 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
916 internally such as S/MIME.
918 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
919 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
920 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
922 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
926 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
927 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
928 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
929 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
931 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
933 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
935 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
936 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
937 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
941 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
942 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
943 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
944 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
945 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
946 a window system and the like.
949 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
950 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
953 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
954 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
955 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
956 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
957 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
958 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
959 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
960 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
961 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
965 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
966 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
970 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
971 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
972 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
973 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
974 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
975 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
976 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
977 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
980 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
981 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
982 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
983 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
984 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
985 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
986 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
987 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
988 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
989 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
990 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
991 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
992 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
993 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
994 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
995 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
996 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
999 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1000 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1001 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1002 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1003 internal engine_int.h header.
1006 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1007 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1008 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1009 modify their own ones).
1012 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1013 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1014 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1015 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1016 later on via ctrl() commands.
1017 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1018 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1019 structural references.
1020 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1021 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1022 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1023 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1024 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1025 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1026 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1027 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1028 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1029 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1030 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1031 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1034 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1035 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1036 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1037 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1038 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1039 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1040 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1041 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1044 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1045 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1048 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1049 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1052 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1053 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1054 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1055 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1056 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1057 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1058 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1061 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1062 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1063 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1064 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1065 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1067 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1068 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1072 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1074 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1075 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1076 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1078 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1079 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1081 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1082 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1083 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1085 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1086 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1088 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1089 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1091 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1093 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1094 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1095 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1098 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1099 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1102 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1103 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1104 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1105 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1106 is 40 of more characters long.
1109 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1110 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1114 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1115 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1118 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1119 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1123 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1125 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1126 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1129 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1131 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1132 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1133 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1135 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1136 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1138 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1141 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1145 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1146 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1147 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1148 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1150 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1152 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1153 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1155 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1156 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1157 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1158 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1159 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1160 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1162 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1163 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1165 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1166 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1168 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1169 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1171 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1172 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1173 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1174 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1176 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1177 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1179 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1180 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1182 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1183 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1184 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1185 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1186 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1189 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1190 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1191 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1192 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1195 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1196 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1197 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1201 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1202 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1203 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1204 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1205 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1206 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1207 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1208 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1212 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1213 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1216 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1217 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1218 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1219 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1222 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1223 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1224 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1225 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1226 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1227 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1228 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1229 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1230 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1231 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1234 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1235 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1236 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1237 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1238 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1239 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1240 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1241 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1243 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1244 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1245 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1246 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1249 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1250 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1251 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1252 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1254 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1255 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1256 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1257 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1258 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1262 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1263 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1264 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1265 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1269 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1270 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1271 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1274 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1275 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1276 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1277 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1278 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1281 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1284 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1285 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1286 option to ocsp utility.
1289 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1290 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1291 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1292 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1293 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1294 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1295 the request is nonce-less.
1298 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1299 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1300 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1303 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1304 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1305 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1308 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1309 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1310 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1311 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1312 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1315 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1316 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1320 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1321 additional certificates supplied.
1324 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1325 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1329 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1330 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1333 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1334 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1335 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1336 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1337 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1338 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1339 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1340 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1341 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1343 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1344 request to response.
1347 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1348 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1349 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1350 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1351 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1352 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1353 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1354 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1355 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1356 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1357 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1360 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1361 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1362 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1363 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1366 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1367 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1369 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1370 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1371 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1374 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1375 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1376 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1377 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1378 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1380 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1381 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1382 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1385 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1386 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1387 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1388 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1389 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1390 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1391 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1392 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1394 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1395 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1396 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1397 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1398 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1399 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1402 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1403 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1404 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1405 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1406 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1407 printout format cleaned up.
1410 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1411 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1412 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1413 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1414 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1415 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1416 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1417 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1420 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1421 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1422 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1423 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1424 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1425 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1426 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1427 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1430 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1431 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1432 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1433 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1435 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1437 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1438 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1439 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1440 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1443 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1444 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1445 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1446 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1448 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1450 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1451 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1452 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1453 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1455 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1456 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1458 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1459 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1460 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1463 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1464 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1465 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1468 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1469 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1470 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1471 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1472 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1473 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1474 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1475 functions are provided:
1477 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1478 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1479 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1480 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1482 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1483 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1484 extended allocation function is enabled.
1485 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1486 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1487 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1489 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1490 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1491 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1492 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1493 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1496 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1497 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1498 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1500 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1501 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1502 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1505 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1506 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1507 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1508 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1509 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1510 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1511 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1512 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1513 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1516 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1517 provide utility functions which an application needing
1518 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1519 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1520 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1522 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1523 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1524 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1525 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1526 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1527 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1528 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1529 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1530 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1532 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1533 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1534 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1535 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1538 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1539 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1540 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1541 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1542 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1543 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1544 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1545 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1546 will be added elsewhere.
1549 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1550 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1551 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1552 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1555 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1556 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1557 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1558 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1559 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1560 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1561 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1562 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1563 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1564 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1565 to produce the required SET OF.
1568 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1569 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1570 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1573 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1574 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1575 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1576 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1577 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1578 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1581 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1582 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1583 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1586 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1587 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1588 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1591 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1592 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1593 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1594 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1595 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1598 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1599 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1602 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1603 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1604 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1605 certifcates and CRLs.
1608 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1609 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1610 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1613 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1614 entries for variables.
1617 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1618 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1619 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1620 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1623 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1624 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1625 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1626 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1627 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1628 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1631 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1632 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1634 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
1635 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1636 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1639 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1643 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1644 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1645 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1646 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1647 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1648 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1651 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1654 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1655 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1656 for now but they will eventually go away.
1659 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1660 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1661 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1662 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1663 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1664 has also been converted to the new form.
1667 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1668 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1669 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1670 for negative moduli.
1673 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1674 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1677 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1681 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1682 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1683 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1684 type-specific callbacks.
1687 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1689 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1690 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1692 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1693 in sections depending on the subject.
1696 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1700 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1701 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1702 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1703 be handled deterministically).
1704 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1706 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1707 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1708 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1711 *) New function BN_kronecker.
1714 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1715 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1716 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1717 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1718 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
1721 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
1722 sign of the number in question.
1724 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
1726 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
1727 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
1728 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
1729 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
1730 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
1733 *) New function BN_swap.
1736 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
1737 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
1738 results on negative inputs.
1741 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
1742 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
1743 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
1746 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
1747 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
1748 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
1749 and add new functions:
1758 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
1762 These functions always generate non-negative results.
1764 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
1765 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
1767 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
1768 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
1769 be reduced modulo m.
1770 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1772 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1773 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1774 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1775 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1776 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1777 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1781 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
1782 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
1783 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
1784 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
1785 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
1787 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
1788 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
1789 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
1793 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
1796 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
1797 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
1800 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
1801 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
1802 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
1803 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
1807 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
1810 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
1813 *) Add the following functions:
1815 ENGINE_load_cswift()
1817 ENGINE_load_atalla()
1819 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
1821 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
1822 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
1823 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
1824 libraries unless it's really needed.
1826 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
1827 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
1828 declarations (they differed!).
1831 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
1834 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
1837 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
1840 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
1841 identity, and test if they are actually available.
1844 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
1845 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
1846 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1848 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
1849 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
1852 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
1855 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
1858 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
1861 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
1862 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
1863 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
1865 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
1866 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
1867 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
1868 different shared library filenames on each system.
1871 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
1874 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
1875 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
1876 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
1878 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
1881 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
1882 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
1883 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
1884 binary backward compatibility.
1885 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
1886 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
1887 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
1891 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
1892 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
1893 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
1894 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
1898 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
1901 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
1902 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
1903 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
1904 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
1908 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
1911 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [XX xxx XXXX]
1915 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
1917 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
1918 and get fix the header length calculation.
1919 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
1920 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
1923 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
1924 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
1925 assertions could call abort()).
1926 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
1928 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
1930 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1931 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1932 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1934 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1936 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
1937 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
1938 by the selection routines (PR #130).
1941 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
1945 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
1946 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
1947 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
1949 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
1950 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
1951 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
1952 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
1953 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
1957 *) Changes in security patch:
1959 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
1960 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
1961 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
1964 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
1965 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
1966 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
1967 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
1968 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
1970 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
1972 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1974 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
1975 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
1976 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
1978 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1979 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1981 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1983 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1984 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
1985 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1987 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
1988 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
1989 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1991 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
1993 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
1994 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
1995 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
1997 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
1998 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2000 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2001 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2002 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2003 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2004 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2005 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2008 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2009 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2010 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2011 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2014 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2017 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2018 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2019 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2020 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2021 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2022 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2024 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2025 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2026 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2027 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2028 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2031 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2032 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2033 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2034 BN_generate_prime().)
2036 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2037 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2038 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2042 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2043 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2046 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2047 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2048 when using non-blocking I/O.
2049 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2051 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2052 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2054 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2055 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2058 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2059 configuration for the versions before that.
2060 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2062 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2063 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2064 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2065 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2068 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2069 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2070 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2073 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2077 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2078 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2080 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2081 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2082 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2084 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2085 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2086 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2087 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2088 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2089 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2090 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2093 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2094 using a local variable.
2095 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2097 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2098 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2099 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2101 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2104 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2105 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2107 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2108 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2109 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2111 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2113 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2114 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2115 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2116 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2119 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2123 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2124 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2125 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2126 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2127 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2129 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2130 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2131 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2133 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2134 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2135 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2137 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2138 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2139 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2140 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2142 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2143 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2144 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2146 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2148 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2149 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2151 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2153 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2154 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2155 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2156 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2158 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2159 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2160 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2161 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2163 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2164 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2166 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2167 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2168 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2171 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2172 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2173 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2175 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2177 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2178 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2179 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2180 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2181 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2182 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2183 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2186 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2187 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2188 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2189 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2191 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2192 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2193 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2194 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2195 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2196 the client will at least see that alert.
2199 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2203 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2204 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2205 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2207 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2208 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2209 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2210 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2213 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2214 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2215 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2217 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2218 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2219 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2220 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2221 may leak via logfiles.)
2223 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2224 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2225 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2226 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2230 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2231 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2234 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2235 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2236 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2237 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2238 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2241 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2242 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2244 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2245 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2246 followed by modular reduction.
2247 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2249 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2250 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2253 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2254 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2255 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2256 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2259 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2262 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2263 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2266 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2267 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2268 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2269 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2270 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2271 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
2273 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
2275 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
2276 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
2277 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
2278 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
2279 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
2281 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
2284 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
2285 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
2286 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
2287 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
2288 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
2289 to allow the necessary settings.
2292 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
2293 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
2294 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
2295 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
2298 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
2299 dh->length and always used
2301 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
2303 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
2304 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
2305 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
2306 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
2307 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
2312 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
2314 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
2320 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
2321 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
2322 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
2323 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
2325 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
2326 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
2327 always reject numbers >= n.
2330 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
2331 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
2332 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
2333 variable) is not atomic.
2336 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
2337 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
2338 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.

2341 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
2342 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
2344 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
2346 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
2348 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
2351 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
2353 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
2354 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
2355 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
2356 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
2357 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
2358 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
2359 to traverse all of 'state'.
2361 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
2362 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
2363 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
2365 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
2366 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
2368 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
2369 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
2370 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
2371 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
2372 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
2373 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
2374 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
2375 further strengthens the PRNG.
2378 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
2381 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
2382 an error message in this case.
2385 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
2388 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
2389 positive and less than q.
2392 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
2393 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
2395 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
2397 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
2398 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
2402 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
2404 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
2405 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
2406 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
2407 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
2408 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
2409 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
2410 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
2413 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
2414 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
2415 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
2416 detect the supposedly ignored error.
2418 Both problems are now fixed.
2421 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
2422 (previously it was 1024).
2425 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
2426 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
2429 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
2432 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
2433 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
2434 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
2437 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
2438 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
2439 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
2440 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
2441 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
2442 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
2443 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
2444 environment variables.
2446 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
2447 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
2448 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
2451 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
2452 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
2453 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
2454 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
2455 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
2456 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
2459 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
2463 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
2465 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
2466 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
2468 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
2469 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
2470 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
2471 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
2475 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
2476 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
2477 amount of data available.
2478 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
2479 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2481 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
2482 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
2483 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
2484 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
2487 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
2488 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
2492 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
2493 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
2494 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
2495 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
2498 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
2501 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
2504 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
2505 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
2507 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2509 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
2510 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
2511 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
2512 (but broken) behaviour.
2515 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
2517 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
2519 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
2520 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
2523 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
2527 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
2528 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
2530 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
2533 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
2534 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
2535 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
2537 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
2538 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
2539 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
2542 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
2543 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
2546 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
2547 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
2549 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
2551 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
2553 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
2554 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
2555 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
2556 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
2559 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
2562 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
2563 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
2564 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2566 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
2569 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2571 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
2572 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
2573 but the code is actually correct.
2576 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
2577 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
2578 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
2579 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
2580 and leaves the highest bit random.
2581 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
2583 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
2584 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
2585 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
2586 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
2587 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
2588 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
2589 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
2592 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
2595 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
2596 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
2599 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
2600 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
2601 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
2602 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
2606 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
2607 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
2608 and break the signature.
2610 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
2612 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
2616 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
2617 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
2618 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
2619 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
2620 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
2623 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
2624 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
2626 *) ./config script fixes.
2627 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
2629 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
2632 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
2633 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
2634 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
2635 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
2636 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
2638 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
2639 call failed, free the DSA structure.
2642 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
2643 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
2646 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
2647 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
2648 when writing a 32767 byte record.
2649 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
2651 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
2652 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
2654 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
2655 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
2656 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
2657 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
2658 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
2660 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
2663 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
2666 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
2669 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
2672 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
2673 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
2676 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
2677 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
2678 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
2679 result of the server certificate verification.)
2682 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
2683 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
2684 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
2688 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
2689 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
2690 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
2691 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
2692 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
2693 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
2694 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
2695 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
2698 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2699 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2700 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2701 happening the other way round.
2704 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2705 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2708 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2709 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2710 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2711 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2714 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2715 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2717 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2719 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2720 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2721 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2724 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2726 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2728 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2732 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2734 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2735 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2736 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2737 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2738 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2740 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2741 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2745 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2748 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2750 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2751 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2752 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2753 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2754 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2755 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2756 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2757 by the Finished messages.
2760 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2761 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2763 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2764 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2765 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2766 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2767 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2771 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2772 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2773 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2774 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2775 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2776 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2777 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2778 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2779 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2783 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2784 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2785 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2786 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2788 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2789 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2790 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2791 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2792 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2795 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2796 been tested well enough.
2799 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2800 it can return incorrect results.
2801 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2802 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2805 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2806 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2807 include zero length content when signing messages.
2810 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2811 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2814 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2817 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2821 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2822 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2823 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2824 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2825 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2826 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2829 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2830 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2832 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2833 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2835 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2836 random number < q in the DSA library.
2839 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2840 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2841 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2842 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2843 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2844 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2845 just makes things more complicated.)
2848 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2852 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2853 work better on such systems.
2854 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2856 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2857 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2858 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2861 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2862 if there was more than one signature.
2863 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2865 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2866 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2867 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2868 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2871 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2872 rather than always using the current time.
2875 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2876 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2877 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2878 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2879 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2880 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2882 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2883 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2885 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2887 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2888 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2889 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2890 the same hash value.
2892 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2893 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2894 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2895 with X509_STORE internally.
2897 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2898 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2900 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2901 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2902 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2903 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2904 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2905 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2906 entirely (maybe later...).
2908 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2910 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2911 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2912 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2913 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2914 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2915 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2916 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2917 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2919 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2920 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2922 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2923 to customise the verify behaviour.
2926 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2927 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2930 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2931 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2932 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2933 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2934 request is improperly encoded.
2937 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2938 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2941 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2942 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2944 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2945 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2949 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2950 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2951 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2954 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2955 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2956 BIO/fp routines also added.
2959 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2960 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2962 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2963 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2964 demos/state_machine.
2967 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2968 generation and verification.
2971 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2972 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2973 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2974 encode and decode it manually.
2977 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2979 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2981 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2982 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2983 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2984 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2986 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2987 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2988 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2989 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2990 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2993 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2996 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2997 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2998 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3000 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3001 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3002 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3003 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3004 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3005 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3006 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3007 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3009 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3010 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3012 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3014 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3015 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3016 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3020 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3021 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3022 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3023 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3027 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3029 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3032 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3033 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3034 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3035 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3036 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3037 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3038 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3039 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3040 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3041 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3042 short or long names are found.
3045 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3046 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3048 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3049 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3050 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3051 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3053 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3054 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3055 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3056 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3059 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3060 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3061 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3064 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3065 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3066 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3067 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3068 to allow the various flags to be set.
3071 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3072 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3073 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3074 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3075 dates to be checked.
3078 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3079 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3080 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3083 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3084 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3085 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3088 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3089 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3092 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3093 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3094 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3095 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3096 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3097 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3100 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3101 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3105 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3109 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3110 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3111 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3112 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3113 form signing output easier to verify.
3116 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3119 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3120 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3121 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3122 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3123 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3124 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3125 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3126 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3127 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3128 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3131 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3133 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3134 the syntax given in objects.README.
3135 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3137 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3140 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3141 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3142 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3143 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3144 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3145 consistent name changes.
3148 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3151 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3152 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3153 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3154 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3157 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3158 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3159 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3163 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3164 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3165 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3166 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3169 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3170 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3171 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3172 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3173 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3174 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3175 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3176 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3177 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3178 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3179 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3182 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3183 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3184 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3185 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3186 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3187 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3188 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3189 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3190 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3191 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3194 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3195 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3196 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3197 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3199 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3200 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3201 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3202 omit any duplicate addresses.
3205 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3206 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3209 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3210 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3211 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3212 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3213 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3216 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3218 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3219 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3220 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3221 Free => OPENSSL_free
3224 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3225 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3228 *) CygWin32 support.
3229 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3231 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3232 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3233 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3234 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3235 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3239 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3240 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3241 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3242 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3243 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3244 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3245 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3248 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3249 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3250 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3251 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3252 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3253 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3254 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3255 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3256 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3257 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3258 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3261 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3262 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3263 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3264 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3265 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3267 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3268 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3269 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3270 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3271 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
3273 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
3276 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
3277 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
3278 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
3279 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
3281 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
3283 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
3286 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
3287 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
3288 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
3291 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
3292 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
3293 any installed hardware versions can.
3296 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
3297 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
3298 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
3302 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
3303 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
3304 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
3305 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
3306 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
3308 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
3309 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
3312 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
3313 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
3316 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
3317 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
3318 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
3322 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
3325 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
3326 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
3327 but no ssl client purpose.
3328 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
3330 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
3331 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
3332 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
3333 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
3334 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
3335 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
3336 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
3337 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
3338 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
3339 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
3340 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
3343 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
3344 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
3345 be obtained from the error queue.
3348 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
3349 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
3350 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
3351 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
3354 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
3357 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
3358 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
3359 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
3360 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
3361 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
3364 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
3365 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
3366 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
3367 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
3368 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
3371 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
3372 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
3373 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
3375 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
3377 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
3378 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
3379 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
3380 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
3381 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
3382 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
3383 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
3384 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
3385 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
3386 or "the configuration storage API"...
3388 The new configuration file reading functions are:
3390 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
3391 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
3393 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
3395 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
3397 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
3398 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
3399 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
3400 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
3401 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
3402 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
3403 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
3405 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
3406 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
3409 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
3410 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
3411 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
3412 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
3415 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
3416 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
3417 them in a portable way.
3418 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
3420 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
3422 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
3424 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
3425 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
3427 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
3428 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
3429 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
3432 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
3433 was larger than the MD block size.
3434 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
3436 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
3437 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
3438 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
3439 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
3443 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
3444 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
3445 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
3447 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
3449 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
3451 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
3452 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
3453 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
3454 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
3455 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
3456 Additional arguments are always ignored.
3458 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
3459 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
3461 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
3462 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
3465 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
3468 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
3469 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
3471 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
3472 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
3473 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
3474 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
3477 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
3478 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
3479 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
3480 does not suppress any output.
3483 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
3484 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
3485 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
3486 with all the associated security issues.
3488 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
3489 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
3490 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
3491 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
3492 use the value in the default purpose.
3495 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
3496 and fix a memory leak.
3499 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
3500 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
3501 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
3502 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
3505 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3506 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3507 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3508 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3511 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3512 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3513 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3516 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3517 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3520 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3521 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3525 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3526 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3529 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3530 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3531 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3534 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3535 number generation fails.
3538 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3541 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3542 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3544 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3547 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3548 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3550 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3551 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3553 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3555 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3556 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3559 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3560 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3562 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3563 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3566 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3567 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3568 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3569 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3570 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3571 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3573 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3574 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3575 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3579 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3580 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3581 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3582 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3583 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3584 counter, some don't.)
3585 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3586 counters or duplicate objects.
3589 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3590 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3593 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3594 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3595 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3597 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3598 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3599 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3603 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3604 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3607 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3608 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3609 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3613 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3614 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3615 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3618 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3619 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3620 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3621 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3622 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3623 should work without changes.
3626 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3627 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3628 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3629 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3630 must be defined. E.g.,
3631 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3632 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3633 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3634 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3636 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3640 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3641 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3642 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3645 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3646 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3647 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3648 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3651 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3652 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3653 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3654 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3655 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3656 is prompted for as usual.
3659 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3660 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3661 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3662 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3664 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3665 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3666 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3667 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3670 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3673 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3677 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3680 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3683 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3687 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3690 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3693 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3694 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3697 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3698 options to produce them.
3701 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3702 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3705 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3709 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3710 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3711 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3712 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3713 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3714 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3715 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3718 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3721 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3722 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3723 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3726 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3727 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3729 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3730 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3733 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3734 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3735 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3739 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3740 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3742 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3743 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3744 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3745 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3746 generation becomes much faster.
3748 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3749 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3750 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3751 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3752 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3753 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3754 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3755 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3756 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3757 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3760 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3761 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3762 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3763 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3764 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3765 trial division stage.
3768 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3772 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3775 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3778 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3779 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3780 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3784 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3785 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3786 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3789 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3790 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3791 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3792 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3794 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3795 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3798 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3801 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3802 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3803 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3804 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3807 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3808 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3809 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3812 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3813 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3814 (instead of parameters) in future.
3817 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3818 when a new cipher list is set.
3821 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3822 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3825 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3826 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3827 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3829 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3830 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3831 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3832 an error is flagged.
3834 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3835 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3836 the readability was also increased :-)
3837 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3839 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3840 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3841 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3842 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3846 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3847 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3850 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3851 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3852 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3853 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3856 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3857 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3858 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3859 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3860 because they handle more complex structures.)
3863 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3864 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3865 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3866 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3868 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3869 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3870 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3871 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3872 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3873 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3874 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3877 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3878 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3879 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3880 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3881 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3884 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3887 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3888 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3889 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3890 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3891 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3894 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3898 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3899 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3900 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3901 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3904 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3907 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3908 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3909 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3910 international characters are used.
3912 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3913 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3914 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3918 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3919 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3920 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3923 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3924 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3925 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3926 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3927 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3928 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3930 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3931 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3932 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3933 be handled by the string table functions.
3935 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3936 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3937 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3938 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3939 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3943 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3944 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3945 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3946 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3947 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3949 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3950 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3951 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3952 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3955 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3956 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3957 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3958 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3959 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3963 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3964 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3965 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3966 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3967 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3968 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3969 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3970 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3972 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3973 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3974 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3977 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3978 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3979 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3980 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3981 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3982 support to pkcs8 application.
3985 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3986 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3987 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3988 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3989 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3990 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
3993 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
3994 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
3995 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
3996 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
3997 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
4001 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
4002 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
4003 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
4004 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
4008 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
4009 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
4010 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
4011 and any application specific purposes.
4013 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
4014 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
4015 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
4016 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
4017 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
4018 if the certificate is self signed.
4021 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
4022 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
4025 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
4026 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
4027 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
4028 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
4031 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
4032 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
4033 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
4034 Update documentation.
4037 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
4038 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
4039 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
4040 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
4041 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
4044 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
4046 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
4048 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
4049 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
4050 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
4051 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
4052 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
4053 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
4054 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
4055 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
4056 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
4057 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
4059 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
4061 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4062 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
4063 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
4064 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
4065 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
4067 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
4068 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
4069 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
4070 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
4071 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
4072 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
4073 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
4074 request additional information:
4075 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
4076 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
4078 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
4079 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
4080 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
4083 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
4084 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
4087 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
4090 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
4091 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4093 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
4094 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
4095 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
4099 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
4100 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
4101 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
4103 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
4104 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
4105 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
4106 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
4107 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
4108 included in OpenSSL.
4111 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
4112 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
4113 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
4114 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
4115 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
4116 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
4119 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
4123 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
4124 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
4125 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
4126 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
4127 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
4131 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
4135 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
4136 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
4137 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
4138 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
4139 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
4140 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
4141 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
4142 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
4143 be maintained manually.
4145 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
4146 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
4147 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
4148 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
4149 work because people forget to call this function]
4150 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
4151 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
4152 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
4155 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
4156 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
4157 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
4158 should be discouraged from doing it.
4161 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
4162 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
4163 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
4164 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
4165 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
4166 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
4169 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
4170 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
4171 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
4173 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
4174 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
4175 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
4177 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
4178 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
4179 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
4180 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
4181 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
4182 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
4184 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
4185 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
4186 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
4188 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
4189 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
4192 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
4193 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
4194 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
4195 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
4198 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
4201 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
4202 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
4203 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
4204 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
4205 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
4206 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
4207 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
4208 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
4209 keys so we should be OK.
4211 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
4212 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
4213 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
4214 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
4215 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
4216 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
4217 stay in the name of compatibility.
4219 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
4220 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
4221 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
4223 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
4224 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
4225 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
4226 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
4227 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
4228 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
4232 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
4233 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
4234 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
4235 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
4236 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
4237 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
4238 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
4239 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
4240 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
4241 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
4242 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
4243 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
4244 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
4247 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
4250 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
4251 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
4252 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
4253 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
4254 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
4255 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
4256 single self signed certificate. This means that:
4257 openssl verify ss.pem
4258 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
4259 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
4263 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
4264 (and add it to external session representation).
4265 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
4266 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
4267 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
4268 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
4269 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
4270 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
4272 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
4274 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
4275 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
4276 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
4277 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
4279 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
4280 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
4281 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
4284 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
4285 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
4286 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
4290 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
4291 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
4292 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
4294 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
4295 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
4296 certificate auxiliary information.
4299 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
4303 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
4304 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
4305 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
4306 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
4307 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
4308 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
4309 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
4312 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
4313 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
4316 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
4317 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
4318 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
4319 manpages and fix a few bugs.
4322 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
4325 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
4326 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
4329 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
4330 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
4331 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
4332 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
4333 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
4334 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
4335 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
4336 using the new 'x509' options.
4338 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
4339 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
4340 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
4341 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
