5 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
8 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
9 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
11 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
12 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
13 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
15 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
17 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
19 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
21 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
23 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
24 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
26 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
27 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
30 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
31 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
32 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
33 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
35 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
36 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
37 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
38 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
40 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
41 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
42 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
44 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
45 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
48 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
50 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
51 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
53 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
54 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
56 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
59 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
63 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
64 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
65 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
66 algorithms and include tests cases.
69 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
73 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
74 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
77 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
78 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
79 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
82 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
83 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
85 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
86 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
89 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
90 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
94 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
95 sign or verify all in one operation.
98 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporaing all the algorithm
99 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
100 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
103 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
106 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
109 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
110 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
111 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
112 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
113 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
116 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
120 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
121 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
122 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
125 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
126 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
129 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
132 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
133 POST to handle HMAC cases.
136 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
137 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
140 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
141 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
142 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
145 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
146 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
147 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
148 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
149 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
150 requested amount of entropy.
153 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
154 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
157 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
158 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
159 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
163 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
164 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
165 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
168 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
169 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
170 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
171 will never use XTS mode.
174 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
175 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
176 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
177 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
178 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
179 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
182 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
183 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
184 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
185 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
188 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
189 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
190 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
193 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
196 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
199 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
200 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
203 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
204 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
207 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
208 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
211 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
212 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
213 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
214 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
215 and rename any affected symbols.
218 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
219 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
222 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
223 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
224 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
227 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
230 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
231 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
232 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
235 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
236 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
239 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
240 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
241 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
242 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
243 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
244 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
248 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
249 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
250 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
251 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
252 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
253 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
254 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
255 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
258 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
259 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
262 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
264 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
265 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
267 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
268 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
269 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
270 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
271 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
272 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
274 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
275 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
276 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
278 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
280 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
284 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
285 Add CMAC pkey methods.
288 *) Experimental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
289 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
290 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
293 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
294 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
295 multi-process servers.
298 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
299 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
300 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
301 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
302 RAND_METHOD structure.
305 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
306 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
307 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
308 whose return value is often ignored.
311 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
313 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
314 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
315 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
318 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
320 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
321 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
322 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
323 is at least 512 bytes long.
325 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
327 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
329 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
331 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
332 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
333 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
334 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
335 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
336 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
337 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
339 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
340 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
343 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
344 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
345 summary of the connection parameters.
348 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
349 of connection parameters.
352 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
353 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
355 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
356 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
359 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
362 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
363 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
366 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
367 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
370 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
374 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
375 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
376 CRLs using the OCSP API.
379 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
382 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
383 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
386 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
387 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
388 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
392 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
393 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
396 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
400 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
404 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
405 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
406 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
407 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
410 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
411 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
414 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
415 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
416 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
420 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
421 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
422 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
426 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
429 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
430 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
431 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
432 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
433 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
434 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
435 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
437 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
438 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
442 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
443 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
444 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
447 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
448 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
449 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
450 supported signature algorithms.
453 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
456 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
457 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
458 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
459 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
460 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
461 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
462 certificate and specify the whole chain.
465 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
466 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
467 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
468 to have similar checks in it.
470 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
471 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
472 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
473 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
474 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
477 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
478 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
479 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
480 shared signature algorithms.
483 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
484 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
488 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
489 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
490 it couldn't be removed.
493 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
494 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
497 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
498 functions. Add manual page.
499 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
501 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
502 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
506 *) Fix OCSP checking.
507 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
509 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
510 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
511 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
512 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
516 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
517 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
520 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
521 platform support for Linux and Android.
524 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
527 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
528 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
529 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
530 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
531 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
534 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
535 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
536 the new parameter format automatically.
539 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
540 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
543 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
546 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
547 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
548 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
549 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
550 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
553 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
554 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
555 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
556 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
557 to set list of supported curves.
560 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
561 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
562 to print out received values.
565 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
566 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
567 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
570 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
571 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
574 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
575 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
578 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
582 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
584 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
585 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
586 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
588 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
590 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
592 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
593 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
594 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
596 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
597 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
598 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
599 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
601 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
603 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
604 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
605 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
606 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
607 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
611 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
612 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
615 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
616 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
618 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
619 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
620 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
621 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
622 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
624 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
627 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
631 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
633 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
634 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
636 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
637 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
641 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
642 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
645 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
649 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
651 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
652 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
653 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
654 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
655 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
656 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
657 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
658 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
659 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
660 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
663 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
664 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
665 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
666 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
667 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
668 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
672 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
674 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
675 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
676 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
678 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
679 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
681 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
683 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
686 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
687 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
689 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
690 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
691 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
692 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
693 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
694 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
695 Most broken servers should now work.
696 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
697 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
700 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
703 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
705 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
706 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
709 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
710 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
711 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
712 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
713 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
716 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
717 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
718 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
719 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
720 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
723 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
724 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
726 *) Add support for SCTP.
727 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
729 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
730 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
732 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
734 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
735 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
736 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
737 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
738 - s390x: z196 support;
739 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
743 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
744 (removal of unnecessary code)
745 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
747 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
750 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
753 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
754 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
755 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
757 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
759 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
760 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
761 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
762 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
763 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
765 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
766 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
767 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
769 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
770 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
771 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
773 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
774 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
776 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
778 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
779 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
780 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
783 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
784 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
788 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
789 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
790 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
793 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
794 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
795 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
796 the appropriate parameters.
799 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
800 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
801 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
802 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
803 against a number of sample certificates.
806 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
807 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
809 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
810 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
812 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
813 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
817 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
821 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
822 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
823 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
827 *) Session-handling fixes:
828 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
829 but also support Session Tickets.
830 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
831 presented a ticket with an expired session.
832 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
833 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
834 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
835 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
837 *) Fix PSK session representation.
840 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
842 This work was sponsored by Intel.
845 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
846 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
847 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
848 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
849 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
852 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
853 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
856 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
857 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
858 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
861 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
862 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
863 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
864 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
867 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
868 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
869 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
872 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
873 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
875 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
878 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
879 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
882 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
885 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
886 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
889 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
890 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
893 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
896 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
897 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
898 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
901 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
904 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
907 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
908 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
911 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
912 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
913 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
916 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
919 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
923 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
924 FIPS modules versions.
927 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
928 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
929 until after the certificate request message is received.
932 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
933 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
934 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
935 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
938 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
939 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
940 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
941 support yet and no support for client certificates.
944 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
945 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
946 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
947 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
948 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
949 and version checking.
952 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
953 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
954 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
955 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
959 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
961 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
964 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
965 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
966 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
968 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
969 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
970 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
973 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
974 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
976 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
977 a few changes are required:
979 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
981 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
982 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
983 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
986 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
988 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
990 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
991 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
992 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
994 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
995 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
996 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
997 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
999 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1001 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1002 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1005 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1006 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1007 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1008 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1009 (This is a backport)
1010 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1012 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1015 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
1017 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
1020 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1023 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1024 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1028 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1029 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1032 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
1034 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1035 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1036 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1038 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1039 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1041 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1043 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1045 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1046 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1047 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1048 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1049 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1050 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1051 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1052 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1053 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1056 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1057 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1058 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1061 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1063 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1064 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1065 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1066 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1069 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1071 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1072 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1073 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1074 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1075 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1076 paper describing this attack can be found at:

1078 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1079 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1080 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1081 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1082 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1083 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1085 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1087 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1089 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1090 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1091 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)

1094 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
1095 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
1097 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1098 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1099 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1100 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1102 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1103 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1105 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1106 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1108 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1109 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1111 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1112 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1113 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1115 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1116 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1117 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1119 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1120 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1121 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1122 the last update always remained unused).
1123 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1125 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1126 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1128 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1130 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1131 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1132 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1134 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1135 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1136 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1138 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1141 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1142 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1143 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1146 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1147 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1149 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1151 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1153 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1155 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1156 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1158 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1159 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1163 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1165 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1166 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1167 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1170 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1171 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1172 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1175 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1177 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1178 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1179 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1182 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1186 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1188 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1190 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1192 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1194 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1195 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1196 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1199 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1202 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1203 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1204 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1206 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1207 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1208 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1211 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1212 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1215 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1216 some responders need this.
1219 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1221 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1223 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1224 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1225 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1228 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1231 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1232 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1233 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1234 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1235 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1236 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1237 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1238 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1241 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1242 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1243 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1244 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1246 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1247 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1249 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1253 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1254 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1255 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1256 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1257 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1258 attempting to work them out.
1261 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1262 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1263 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1264 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1267 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1268 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1269 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1270 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1271 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1274 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1275 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1282 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1284 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1288 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1289 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1291 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1292 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1294 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1295 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1296 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1297 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1298 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1301 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1302 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1303 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1306 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1307 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1310 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1311 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1313 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1314 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1317 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1320 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1321 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1322 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1326 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1327 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1328 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1329 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1330 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1331 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1334 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1335 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1337 This work was sponsored by Google.
1340 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1341 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1342 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1343 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1344 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1345 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1346 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1349 This work was sponsored by Google.
1352 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1354 This work was sponsored by Google.
1357 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1358 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1359 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1360 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1362 This work was sponsored by Google.
1365 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1366 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1367 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1368 CRL functionality in future.
1370 This work was sponsored by Google.
1373 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1375 This work was sponsored by Google.
1378 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1379 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1381 This work was sponsored by Google.
1384 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1385 and URI types are currently supported.
1387 This work was sponsored by Google.
1390 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1391 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1392 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1393 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1394 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1395 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1396 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1397 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1399 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1400 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1401 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1403 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1404 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1405 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1406 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1408 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1409 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1410 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1411 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1412 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1413 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1414 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1415 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1417 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1419 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1420 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1421 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1423 This work was sponsored by Google.
1426 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1429 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1430 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1431 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1434 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1435 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1438 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1439 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1442 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1443 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1444 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1445 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1446 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1447 content types and variants.
1450 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1453 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1454 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1455 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1456 files from the associated perl scripts.
1459 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1460 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1461 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1463 *) s390x assembler pack.
1466 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1470 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1471 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1472 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1473 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1474 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1475 to use. For example, specify an option
1477 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1479 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1480 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1481 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1482 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1483 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1484 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1486 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1487 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1488 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1489 return non-zero for success.
1491 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1494 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1495 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1499 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1502 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1503 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1504 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1505 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1506 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1507 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1508 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1509 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1510 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1512 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1513 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1514 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1515 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1516 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1517 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1519 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1520 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1521 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1522 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1523 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1524 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1528 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1531 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1533 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1534 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1535 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1538 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1539 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1542 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1543 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1544 with no application modification.
1546 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1547 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1549 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1550 or server extensions to be examined.
1552 This work was sponsored by Google.
1555 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1556 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1557 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1559 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1560 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1561 ciphersuite support.
1562 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1564 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1565 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1566 to output in BER and PEM format.
1569 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1570 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1571 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1572 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1573 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1576 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1577 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1578 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1582 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1583 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1584 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1585 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1586 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1587 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1588 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1589 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1592 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1593 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1594 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1595 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1597 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1598 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1599 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1603 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1604 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1605 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1606 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1607 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1608 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1609 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1610 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1611 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1613 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1614 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1615 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1616 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1617 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1618 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1619 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1620 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1621 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1622 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1623 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1626 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1627 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1628 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1630 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1631 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1635 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1636 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1637 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1640 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1641 it yet and it is largely untested.
1644 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1647 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1648 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1649 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1652 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1655 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1656 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1657 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1658 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1661 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1662 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1663 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1664 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1665 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1668 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1669 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1672 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1673 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1674 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1675 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1678 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1679 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1680 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1681 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1684 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1685 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1688 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1689 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1690 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1691 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1694 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1695 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1696 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1699 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1703 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1704 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1707 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1708 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1709 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1713 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1714 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1715 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1718 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1719 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1720 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1721 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1724 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1725 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1726 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1727 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1728 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1729 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1732 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1733 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1734 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1735 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1736 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1738 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1739 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1740 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1741 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1742 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1745 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1746 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1747 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1748 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1750 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1751 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1752 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1753 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1754 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1760 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1761 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1765 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1766 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1769 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1770 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1773 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1774 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1775 functional reference processing.
1778 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1779 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1783 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1784 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1785 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1788 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1789 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1790 application to support multiple signers.
1793 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1797 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1798 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1799 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1800 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1801 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1804 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1808 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1809 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1810 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1811 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1815 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1816 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1817 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1818 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1819 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1820 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1821 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1822 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1825 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1826 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1827 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1828 between digests and public key types.
1831 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1832 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1833 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1834 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1837 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1838 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1842 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1845 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1849 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1850 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1851 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1852 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1857 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1859 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1861 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1863 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1864 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1865 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1866 functionality for RSA.
1869 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1870 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1871 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1874 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1875 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1878 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1879 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1880 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1883 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1884 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1887 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1888 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1891 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1892 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1896 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1897 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1898 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1902 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1903 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1904 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1905 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1906 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1907 of public and private key structures.
1910 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1911 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1914 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members

1928 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1930 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1931 and response verification functionality.
1932 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1934 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1935 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1936 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1937 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1938 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1939 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1940 server_name extension.
1942 New functions (subject to change):
1944 SSL_get_servername()
1945 SSL_get_servername_type()
1948 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1950 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1951 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1952 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1953 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1954 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1956 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1958 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1959 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1960 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1961 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1962 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1963 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1966 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1968 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1971 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1972 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1973 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1974 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1975 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1978 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1979 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1983 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1984 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1985 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1986 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1989 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1990 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1991 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1992 using the maximum available value.
1995 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1996 in addition to the text details.
1999 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
2000 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2001 handle several customised structures at all.
2004 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2005 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2006 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2009 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2012 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2013 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2014 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2017 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2018 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2019 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2022 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2023 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2027 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2030 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2033 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
2035 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2037 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2038 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2039 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2041 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2042 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2043 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2044 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2046 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2048 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2049 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2052 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2053 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2056 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2057 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2058 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2059 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.

2061 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2063 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2066 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
2068 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
2071 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2072 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2076 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2077 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2080 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
2082 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
2083 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
2084 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
2085 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
2086 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2088 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
2090 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2091 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2092 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2094 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2095 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2097 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2099 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
2101 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2102 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2103 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2104 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2105 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2106 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2107 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2108 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2109 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2112 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2113 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2114 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2117 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
2119 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2120 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2121 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2122 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2125 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
2127 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2128 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2129 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2130 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2131 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2132 paper describing this attack can be found at:

2138 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2139 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2141 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
2142 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
2144 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2146 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2148 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2149 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2150 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2151 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2153 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2154 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2155 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2156 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2158 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2159 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2161 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2162 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2164 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2165 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2166 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2168 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2169 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2170 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2172 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2173 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2174 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2175 the last update always remained unused).
2176 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2178 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2179 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
2180 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2182 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2185 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2186 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2188 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf

2197 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2198 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2202 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
2204 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2205 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2206 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2209 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2210 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2211 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2214 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
2216 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2217 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2218 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2221 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
2224 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
2225 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
2226 some broken encodings work correctly.
2229 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
2230 is also one of the inputs.
2231 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2233 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
2234 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
2235 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add

2241 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.8o and later 0.9.8 patch levels were released after

2245 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
2246 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
2248 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
2249 common in certificates and some applications which only call
2250 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
2254 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com

2256 Allow use of C files from original directories in maketests.com
2257 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
2259 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2261 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2262 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2263 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2264 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2265 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2266 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2267 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2268 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2270 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2271 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2272 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2274 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2276 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2277 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2279 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2280 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2283 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2284 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2285 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2288 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2289 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2290 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2291 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2292 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2293 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2296 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2297 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2298 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2301 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2302 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2303 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2304 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2305 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2306 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2310 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2311 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2314 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2315 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2316 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2319 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2322 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2323 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2324 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2325 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2326 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2327 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2328 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2329 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2330 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2333 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2334 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2335 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2338 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2339 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2342 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2343 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2344 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2345 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2346 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2347 know what you are doing.
2348 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2350 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2351 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2352 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2353 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2354 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2355 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2359 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2360 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2361 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2363 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2365 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2366 warnings in other configurations.
2369 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2370 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2371 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2373 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2375 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2376 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2377 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2379 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2380 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2381 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2382 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2385 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2389 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2390 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2392 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2394 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2395 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2396 other than a simple chain.
2397 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2399 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2400 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2401 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2402 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2405 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2406 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2407 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2408 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2409 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2410 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2411 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2412 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2413 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2415 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2416 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2417 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2418 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2419 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2420 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2422 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2424 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2425 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2428 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.

2432 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2434 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2436 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2437 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2438 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2439 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2440 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2444 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2446 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2447 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2448 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2449 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2451 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2452 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2453 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2454 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2456 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2457 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2458 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2461 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2462 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2466 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2467 to handle some structures.
2470 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2472 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2474 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2477 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2480 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2483 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2484 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2488 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2490 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2492 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2494 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2497 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2498 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2499 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2500 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2502 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2503 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2505 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2506 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2509 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2510 s_client and s_server.
2513 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2514 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2516 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2517 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2519 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2520 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2521 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2522 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2523 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2526 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2528 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2529 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2532 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2533 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2536 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2537 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2538 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2539 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2541 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2542 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2544 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2546 *) Various precautionary measures:
2548 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2550 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2551 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2552 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2554 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2555 outside the expected range.
2557 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2560 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2562 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2563 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2564 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2566 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2569 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2572 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2574 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2577 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2578 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2579 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2581 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2584 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2585 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2586 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2590 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2592 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2593 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2594 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2595 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2597 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2598 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2601 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2603 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2604 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2605 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2607 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2609 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2610 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2611 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2612 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2615 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2616 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2617 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2618 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2619 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2620 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2621 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2623 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2625 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2626 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2627 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2628 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2629 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2631 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2632 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2634 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2635 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2636 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2637 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2638 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2640 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2642 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2643 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2644 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2645 sets may exist with different names.
2648 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2649 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2650 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2651 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2652 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2653 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2654 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2655 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2656 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2658 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2660 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2661 implemention in the following ways:
2663 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2666 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2667 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2668 ignored for embedded content.
2670 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2671 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2674 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2675 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2676 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2677 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2679 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2680 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2683 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2684 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2687 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2688 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2689 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2690 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2691 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2692 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2696 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2697 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2698 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2702 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2703 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2704 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2705 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2706 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2707 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2708 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2709 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2711 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2712 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2713 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2714 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2715 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2716 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2717 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2719 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2720 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2721 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2722 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2723 to s_client and s_server.
2726 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2728 *) Fix various bugs:
2729 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2730 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2731 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2732 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2733 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2735 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2737 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2738 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2739 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2740 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2741 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2742 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2743 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2744 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2747 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2748 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2749 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2752 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2753 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2754 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2757 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2758 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2761 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2762 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2763 with no application modification.
2765 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2766 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2768 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2769 or server extensions to be examined.
2771 This work was sponsored by Google.
2774 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2775 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2776 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2777 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2778 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2779 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2780 server_name extension.
2782 New functions (subject to change):
2784 SSL_get_servername()
2785 SSL_get_servername_type()
2788 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2790 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2791 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2792 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2793 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2794 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2796 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2798 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2799 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2800 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2801 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2802 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2803 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2806 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2808 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2811 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2814 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2815 (which previously caused an internal error).
2818 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2821 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2822 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2824 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2825 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2826 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2828 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2829 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2830 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2831 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2833 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2834 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2835 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2836 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2838 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2839 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2840 information. For detailed background information, see
2841 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2842 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2843 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2844 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2845 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2846 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2847 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2848 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2849 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2850 remove a conditional branch.
2852 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2853 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2854 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2855 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2856 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2857 remains as a deprecated alias.
2859 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2860 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2861 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2862 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2864 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2865 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2866 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2867 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2868 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2869 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2870 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2871 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2873 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2875 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2876 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2877 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2878 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2879 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2880 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2881 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2882 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2883 in a different context.
2886 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2887 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2888 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2891 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2892 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2893 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2895 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2897 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2898 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2899 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2900 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2901 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2904 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2905 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2906 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2907 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2908 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2909 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2912 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2913 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2914 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2915 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2916 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2919 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2920 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2922 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2923 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2924 Improve header file function name parsing.
2927 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2928 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2931 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2933 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2934 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2935 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2937 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2938 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2940 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2941 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2943 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2944 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2945 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2947 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2948 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2949 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2950 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2951 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2952 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2953 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2954 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2955 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2957 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2958 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2959 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2960 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2961 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2963 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2964 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2965 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2966 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2967 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2968 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2969 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2970 multiple values to extend the available space.
2974 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2976 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2977 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2979 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2982 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2983 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2984 undesirable limitations.
2985 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2987 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2988 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2989 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2990 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2991 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2992 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2993 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2996 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2998 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2999 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3000 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3002 The latter two were purportedly from
3003 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3006 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3007 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3008 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3011 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3012 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3015 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3016 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3017 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3018 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3020 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3021 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3022 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3025 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3026 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3027 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3028 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3029 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3030 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3033 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3035 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3036 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3039 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3040 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3042 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3043 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3044 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3045 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3048 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3049 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3052 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3053 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3054 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3055 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3056 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3057 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3058 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3062 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3063 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3064 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3065 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3068 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3069 under VC++ build system.
3072 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3073 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3076 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3078 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3079 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3080 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3081 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3082 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3084 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3085 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3086 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3088 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3091 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3092 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3095 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3096 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3098 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3101 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3102 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3104 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3105 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3108 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3109 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3113 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3115 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3118 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3121 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3122 key into the same file any more.
3125 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3128 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3129 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3131 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3132 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3135 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3136 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3137 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3138 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3139 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3140 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3142 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3143 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3144 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3147 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3148 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3149 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3150 - add new function for parameter creation
3151 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3152 BN_BLINDING parameters
3153 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3154 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3155 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3159 *) Add support for DTLS.
3160 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3162 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3163 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3166 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3167 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3170 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3171 the apps/openssl applications.
3174 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3175 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3176 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3179 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3180 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3182 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3183 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3185 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3186 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3187 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3188 avoid this algorithm.)
3192 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3193 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3194 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3197 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3198 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3201 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3202 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3203 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3206 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3208 The blank line is mandatory.
3212 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3213 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3217 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3218 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3220 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3221 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3222 to support policy checking and print out.
3225 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3226 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3227 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3228 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3230 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3233 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3234 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3236 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3237 implementation contributed by IBM.
3238 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3240 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3241 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3242 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3243 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3245 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3246 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3248 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3249 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3250 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3251 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3252 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3253 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3256 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3257 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3258 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3259 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3260 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3261 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3262 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3265 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3268 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3269 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3270 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3271 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3272 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3273 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3274 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3275 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3278 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3279 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3280 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3281 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3284 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3287 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3290 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3291 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3292 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3293 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3294 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3295 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3296 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3299 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3300 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3303 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3304 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3305 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3308 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3309 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3310 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3314 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3315 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3318 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3319 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3320 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3321 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3324 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3325 initialised value as BN_new().
3326 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3328 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3331 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3332 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3333 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3334 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3335 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3336 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3337 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3338 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3339 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3340 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3341 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3342 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3343 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3344 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3345 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3347 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3348 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3349 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3350 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3353 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3354 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3355 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3356 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3357 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3358 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3359 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3360 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3361 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3364 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3365 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3366 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3367 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3368 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3369 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3370 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3373 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3374 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3375 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3376 these have been updated also.
3379 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3380 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3381 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3382 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3383 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3387 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3388 structure of type "other".
3391 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3392 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3393 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3394 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3395 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3396 situation in the script.
3397 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3399 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3400 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3401 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3402 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3403 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3404 used as premaster secret.
3405 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3407 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3408 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3409 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3411 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3412 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3414 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3415 control of the error stack.
3418 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3421 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3422 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3423 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3424 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3427 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3428 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3429 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3432 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3433 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3434 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3438 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3439 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3440 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3441 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3444 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3445 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3446 the following flags are defined:
3448 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3449 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3450 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3453 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3454 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3455 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3456 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3460 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3461 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3462 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3463 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3464 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3467 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3468 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3469 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3472 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3473 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3474 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3475 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3476 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3477 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3480 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3484 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3487 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3490 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3493 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3494 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3495 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3496 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3497 default implementation more easily.
3500 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3504 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3505 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3508 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3509 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3510 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3511 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3513 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3514 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3515 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3516 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3519 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3520 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3524 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3525 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3526 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3527 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3528 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3529 scalar * generator).
3530 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3532 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3533 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3534 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3538 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3539 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3540 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3541 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3542 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3543 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3544 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3545 linker additions, eg;
3546 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3549 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3550 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3551 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3554 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3555 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3556 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3560 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3561 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3562 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3563 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3566 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3567 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3568 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3569 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3570 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3571 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3572 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3573 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3574 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3575 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3577 Example for using the new callback interface:
3579 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3583 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3585 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3586 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3587 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3588 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3589 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3590 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3595 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3596 available to TLS with the number defined in
3597 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3600 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3601 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3603 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3604 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3605 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3606 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3608 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3609 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3611 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3612 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3616 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3617 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3620 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3621 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3622 and a macro that behave like
3623 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3625 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3628 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3629 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3630 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3632 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3634 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3637 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3638 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3639 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3640 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3642 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3643 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3644 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3645 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3646 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3647 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3648 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3649 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3651 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3652 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3655 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3656 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3658 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3659 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3660 files while avoiding the low level API.
3662 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3663 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3664 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3665 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3667 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3668 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3669 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3670 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3671 instead of the low level API.
3674 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3675 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3676 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3677 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3678 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3681 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3682 down to the template encoder.
3685 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3686 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3689 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3690 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3691 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3692 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3694 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3695 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3697 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3698 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3700 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3701 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3704 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3705 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3706 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3709 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3710 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3712 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3713 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3715 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3716 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
