5 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
7 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
8 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
9 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
11 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
12 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
13 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
15 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
16 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
19 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
21 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
23 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
24 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
25 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
26 code on a vulnerable client or server.
28 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
29 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
31 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
32 are subject to a denial of service attack.
34 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
35 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
36 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
38 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
40 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
42 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
44 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
46 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
47 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
49 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
51 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
52 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
55 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
56 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
57 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
58 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
60 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
61 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
62 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
63 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
65 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
66 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
67 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
69 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
71 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
72 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
73 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
74 is at least 512 bytes long.
76 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
78 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
80 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
81 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
82 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
85 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
86 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
87 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
90 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
91 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
92 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
93 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
94 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
95 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
96 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
98 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
100 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
101 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
102 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
104 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
106 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
108 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
109 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
110 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
112 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
113 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
114 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
115 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
117 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
119 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
120 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
121 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
122 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
123 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
127 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
128 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
131 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
132 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
134 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
135 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
136 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
137 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
138 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
140 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
143 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
147 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
149 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
150 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
152 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
153 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
157 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
158 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
161 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
165 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
167 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
168 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
169 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
170 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
171 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
172 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
173 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
174 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
175 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
176 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
179 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
180 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
181 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
182 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
183 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
184 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
188 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
190 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
191 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
192 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
194 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
195 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
197 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
199 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
202 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
203 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
205 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
206 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
207 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
208 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
209 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
210 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
211 Most broken servers should now work.
212 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
213 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
216 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
219 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
221 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
222 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
225 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
226 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
227 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
228 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
229 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
232 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
233 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
234 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
235 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
236 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
239 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
240 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
242 *) Add support for SCTP.
243 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
245 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
246 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
248 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
250 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
251 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
252 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
253 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
254 - s390x: z196 support;
255 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
259 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
260 (removal of unnecessary code)
261 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
263 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
266 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
269 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
270 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
271 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
273 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
275 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
276 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
277 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
278 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
279 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
281 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
282 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
283 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
285 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
286 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
287 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
289 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
290 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
292 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
294 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
295 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
296 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
299 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
300 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
304 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
305 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
306 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
309 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
310 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
311 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
312 the appropriate parameters.
315 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
316 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
317 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
318 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
319 against a number of sample certificates.
322 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
323 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
325 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
326 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
328 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
329 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
333 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
337 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
338 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
339 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
343 *) Session-handling fixes:
344 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
345 but also support Session Tickets.
346 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
347 presented a ticket with an expired session.
348 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
349 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
350 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
351 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
353 *) Fix PSK session representation.
356 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
358 This work was sponsored by Intel.
361 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
362 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
363 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
364 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
365 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
368 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
369 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
372 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
373 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
374 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
377 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
378 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
379 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
380 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
383 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
384 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
385 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
388 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
389 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
391 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
394 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
395 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
398 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
401 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
402 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
405 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
406 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
409 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
412 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
413 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
414 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
417 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
420 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
423 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
424 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
427 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
428 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
429 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
432 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
435 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
439 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
440 FIPS modules versions.
443 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
444 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
445 until after the certificate request message is received.
448 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
449 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
450 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
451 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
454 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
455 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
456 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
457 support yet and no support for client certificates.
460 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
461 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
462 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
463 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
464 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
465 and version checking.
468 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
469 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
470 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
471 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
475 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
477 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
480 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
481 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
482 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
484 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
485 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
486 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
489 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
490 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
492 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
493 a few changes are required:
495 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
497 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
498 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
499 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
502 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
504 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
506 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
507 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
508 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
510 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
511 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
512 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
513 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
515 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
517 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
518 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
521 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
522 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
523 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
524 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
526 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
528 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
531 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
533 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
536 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS

540 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
544 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.

555 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
557 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
559 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
561 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
562 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
563 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
564 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
565 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
566 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
567 an MMA defence is not necessary.
568 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
569 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
572 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
573 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
574 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
577 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
579 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
580 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
581 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
582 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
585 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
587 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
588 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
589 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
590 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
591 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
592 paper describing this attack can be found at:

627 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
628 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
629 [Adam Langley (Google)]
631 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
632 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
633 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
635 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
636 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
637 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
638 the last update always remained unused).
639 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
641 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
642 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
644 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
646 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
647 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
648 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
650 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
651 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
652 [Adam Langley (Google)]
654 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
657 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
658 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
659 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
662 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
663 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
665 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
667 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
669 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
671 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
672 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
674 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
675 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
679 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
681 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
682 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
683 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
686 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
687 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
688 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
691 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
693 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
694 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
695 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
698 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
702 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
704 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
706 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
708 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
710 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
711 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
712 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
715 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
718 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
719 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
720 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
722 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
723 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
724 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
727 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
728 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
731 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
732 some responders need this.
735 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
737 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
739 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
740 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
741 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
744 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
747 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
748 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
749 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
750 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
751 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
752 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
753 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
754 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
757 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
758 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
759 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
760 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
762 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
763 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
765 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
769 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
770 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
771 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
772 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
773 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
774 attempting to work them out.
777 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
778 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
779 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
780 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
783 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
784 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
785 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
786 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
787 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
790 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
791 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
798 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
800 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
804 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
805 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
807 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
808 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
810 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
811 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
812 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
813 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
814 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
817 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
818 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
819 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
822 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
823 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
826 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
827 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
829 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
830 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
833 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
836 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
837 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
838 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
842 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
843 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
844 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
845 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
846 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
847 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
850 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
851 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
853 This work was sponsored by Google.
856 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
857 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
858 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
859 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
860 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
861 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
862 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
865 This work was sponsored by Google.
868 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
870 This work was sponsored by Google.
873 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
874 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
875 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
876 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
878 This work was sponsored by Google.
881 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
882 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
883 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
884 CRL functionality in future.
886 This work was sponsored by Google.
889 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
891 This work was sponsored by Google.
894 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
895 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
897 This work was sponsored by Google.
900 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
901 and URI types are currently supported.
903 This work was sponsored by Google.
906 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
907 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
908 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
909 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
910 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
911 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
912 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
913 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
915 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
916 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
917 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
919 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
920 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
921 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
922 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
924 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
925 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
926 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
927 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
928 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
929 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
930 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
931 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
933 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
935 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
936 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
937 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
939 This work was sponsored by Google.
942 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
945 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
946 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
947 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
950 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
951 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
954 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
955 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
958 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
959 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
960 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
961 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
962 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
963 content types and variants.
966 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
969 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
970 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
971 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
972 files from the associated perl scripts.
975 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
976 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
977 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
979 *) s390x assembler pack.
982 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
986 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
987 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
988 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
989 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
990 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
991 to use. For example, specify an option
993 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
995 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
996 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
997 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
998 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
999 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1000 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1002 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1003 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1004 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1005 return non-zero for success.
1007 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1010 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1011 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1015 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1018 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1019 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1020 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1021 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1022 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1023 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1024 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1025 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1026 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1028 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1029 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1030 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1031 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1032 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1033 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1035 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1036 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1037 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1038 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1039 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1040 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1044 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1047 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1049 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1050 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1051 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1054 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1055 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1058 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1059 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1060 with no application modification.
1062 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1063 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1065 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1066 or server extensions to be examined.
1068 This work was sponsored by Google.
1071 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1072 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1073 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1075 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1076 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1077 ciphersuite support.
1078 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1080 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1081 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1082 to output in BER and PEM format.
1085 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1086 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1087 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1088 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1089 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1092 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1093 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1094 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1098 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1099 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1100 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1101 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1102 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1103 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1104 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1105 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1108 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1109 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1110 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1111 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1113 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1114 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1115 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1119 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1120 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1121 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1122 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1123 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1124 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1125 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1126 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1127 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1129 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1130 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1131 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1132 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1133 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1134 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1135 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1136 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1137 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1138 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1139 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1142 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1143 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1144 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1146 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1147 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1151 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1152 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1153 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1156 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1157 it yet and it is largely untested.
1160 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1163 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1164 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1165 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1168 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1171 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1172 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1173 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1174 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1177 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1178 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1179 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1180 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1181 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1184 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1185 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1188 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1189 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1190 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1191 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1194 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1195 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1196 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1197 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1200 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1201 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1204 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1205 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1206 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1207 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1210 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1211 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1212 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1215 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1219 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1220 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1223 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1224 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1225 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1229 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1230 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1231 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1234 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1235 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1236 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1237 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1240 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1241 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1242 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1243 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1244 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1245 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1248 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1249 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1250 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1251 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1252 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1254 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1255 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1256 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1257 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1258 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1261 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1262 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1263 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1264 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1266 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1267 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1268 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1269 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1270 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1276 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1277 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1281 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1282 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1285 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1286 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1289 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1290 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1291 functional reference processing.
1294 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1295 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1299 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1300 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1301 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1304 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1305 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1306 application to support multiple signers.
1309 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1313 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1314 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1315 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1316 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1317 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1320 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1324 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1325 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1326 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1327 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1331 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1332 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1333 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1334 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1335 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1336 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1337 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1338 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1341 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1342 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1343 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1344 between digests and public key types.
1347 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1348 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1349 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1350 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1353 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1354 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1358 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1361 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1365 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1366 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1367 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1368 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1373 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1375 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1377 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1379 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1380 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1381 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1382 functionality for RSA.
1385 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1386 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1387 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1390 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1391 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1394 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1395 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1396 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1399 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1400 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1403 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1404 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1407 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1408 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1412 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1413 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1414 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1418 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1419 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1420 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1421 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1422 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1423 of public and private key structures.
1426 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1427 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1430 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1431 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1432 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1435 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1439 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1440 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1441 SSL_get_psk_identity
1442 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1444 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1446 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1447 and response verification functionality.
1448 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1450 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1451 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1452 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1453 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1454 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1455 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1456 server_name extension.
1458 New functions (subject to change):
1460 SSL_get_servername()
1461 SSL_get_servername_type()
1464 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1466 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1467 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1468 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1469 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1470 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1472 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1474 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1475 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1476 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1477 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1478 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1479 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1482 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1484 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1487 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1488 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1489 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1490 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1491 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1494 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1495 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1499 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1500 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1501 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1502 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1505 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1506 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1507 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1508 using the maximum available value.
1511 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1512 in addition to the text details.
1515 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1516 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1517 handle several customised structures at all.
1520 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1521 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1522 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1525 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1528 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1529 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1530 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1533 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1534 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1535 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1538 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1539 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1543 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1546 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
1549 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
1551 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
1553 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
1554 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
1555 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
1557 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1558 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1559 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
1560 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
1562 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1564 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1565 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1568 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1569 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1570 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1571 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1572 (This is a backport)
1573 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1575 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1578 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
1580 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1583 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1584 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1588 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1589 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1592 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
1594 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
1595 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
1596 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
1597 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
1598 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1600 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
1602 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1603 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1604 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1606 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1607 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1609 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1611 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
1613 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1614 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1615 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1616 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1617 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1618 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1619 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1620 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1621 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1624 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1625 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1626 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1629 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
1631 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1632 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1633 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1634 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1637 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
1639 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1640 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1641 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1642 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1643 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1644 paper describing this attack can be found at:

1650 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)

1653 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
1654 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
1656 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1658 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1660 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1661 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1662 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)

1670 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1671 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1673 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1674 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1676 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1677 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1678 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1680 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1681 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1682 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1684 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1685 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1686 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1687 the last update always remained unused).
1688 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1690 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1691 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
1692 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1694 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1697 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper

1716 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1717 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1718 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1721 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1722 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1723 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1726 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
1728 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1729 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1730 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1733 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
1736 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
1737 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
1738 some broken encodings work correctly.
1741 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
1742 is also one of the inputs.
1743 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1745 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
1746 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
1747 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add

1757 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
1758 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
1760 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
1761 common in certificates and some applications which only call
1762 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
1766 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com

1771 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
1773 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
1774 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
1775 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
1776 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
1777 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
1778 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
1779 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
1780 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
1782 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
1783 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
1784 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
1786 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
1788 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
1789 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
1791 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
1792 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
1795 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
1796 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
1797 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
1800 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
1801 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
1802 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
1803 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
1804 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
1805 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
1808 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
1809 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
1810 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
1813 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
1814 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
1815 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
1816 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
1817 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
1818 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
1822 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
1823 change when encrypting or decrypting.
1826 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
1827 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
1828 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
1831 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
1834 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
1835 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
1836 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
1837 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
1838 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
1839 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
1840 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
1841 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
1842 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
1845 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
1846 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
1847 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
1850 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
1851 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
1854 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
1855 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
1856 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
1857 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
1858 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
1859 know what you are doing.
1860 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1862 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
1863 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
1864 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
1865 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
1866 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
1867 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
1871 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
1872 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
1873 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
1875 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1877 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
1878 warnings in other configurations.
1881 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
1882 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
1883 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
1885 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
1887 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
1888 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
1889 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
1891 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
1892 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
1893 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
1894 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
1897 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
1901 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
1902 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
1904 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1906 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
1907 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
1908 other than a simple chain.
1909 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
1911 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
1912 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
1913 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
1914 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
1917 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
1918 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
1919 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
1920 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
1921 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
1922 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
1923 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
1924 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
1925 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1927 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
1928 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
1929 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
1930 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
1931 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
1932 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
1934 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
1936 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
1937 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
1940 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
1941 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
1944 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
1946 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
1948 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
1949 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1950 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1951 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1952 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1956 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1958 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1959 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1960 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1961 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1963 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1964 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1965 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1966 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1968 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1969 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1970 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1973 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1974 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1978 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1979 to handle some structures.
1982 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1984 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1986 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1989 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1992 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1995 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1996 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2000 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2002 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2004 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2006 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2009 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2010 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2011 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2012 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2014 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2015 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2017 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2018 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2021 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2022 s_client and s_server.
2025 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2026 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2028 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2029 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2031 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2032 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2033 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2034 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2035 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2038 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2040 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2041 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2044 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2045 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2048 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2049 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2050 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2051 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2053 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2054 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2056 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2058 *) Various precautionary measures:
2060 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2062 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2063 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2064 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2066 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2067 outside the expected range.
2069 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2072 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2074 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2075 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2076 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2078 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2081 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2084 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2086 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2089 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2090 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2091 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2093 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2096 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2097 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2098 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2102 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2104 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2105 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2106 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2107 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2109 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2110 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2113 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2115 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2116 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2117 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2119 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2121 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2122 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2123 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2124 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2127 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2128 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2129 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2130 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2131 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2132 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2133 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2135 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2137 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2138 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2139 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2140 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2141 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2143 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2144 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2146 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2147 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2148 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2149 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2150 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2152 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2154 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2155 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2156 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2157 sets may exist with different names.
2160 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2161 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2162 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2163 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2164 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2165 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2166 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2167 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2168 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2170 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2172 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2173 implemention in the following ways:
2175 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2178 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2179 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2180 ignored for embedded content.
2182 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2183 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2186 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2187 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2188 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2189 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2191 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2192 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2195 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2196 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2199 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2200 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2201 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2202 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2203 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2204 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2208 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2209 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2210 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2214 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2215 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2216 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2217 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2218 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2219 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2220 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2221 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2223 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2224 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2225 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2226 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2227 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2228 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2229 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2231 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2232 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2233 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2234 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2235 to s_client and s_server.
2238 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2240 *) Fix various bugs:
2241 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2242 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2243 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2244 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2245 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2247 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2249 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2250 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2251 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2252 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2253 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2254 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2255 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2256 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2259 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2260 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2261 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2264 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2265 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2266 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2269 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2270 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2273 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2274 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2275 with no application modification.
2277 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2278 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2280 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2281 or server extensions to be examined.
2283 This work was sponsored by Google.
2286 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2287 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2288 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2289 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2290 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2291 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2292 server_name extension.
2294 New functions (subject to change):
2296 SSL_get_servername()
2297 SSL_get_servername_type()
2300 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2302 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2303 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2304 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2305 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2306 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2308 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2310 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2311 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2312 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2313 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2314 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2315 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2318 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2320 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2323 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2326 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2327 (which previously caused an internal error).
2330 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2333 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2334 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2336 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2337 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2338 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2340 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2341 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2342 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2343 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2345 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2346 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2347 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2348 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2350 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2351 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2352 information. For detailed background information, see
2353 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2354 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2355 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2356 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2357 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2358 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2359 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2360 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2361 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2362 remove a conditional branch.
2364 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2365 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2366 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2367 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2368 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2369 remains as a deprecated alias.
2371 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2372 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2373 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2374 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2376 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2377 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2378 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2379 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2380 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2381 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2382 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2383 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2385 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2387 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2388 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2389 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2390 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2391 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2392 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2393 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2394 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2395 in a different context.
2398 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2399 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2400 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2403 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2404 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2405 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2407 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2409 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2410 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2411 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2412 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2413 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2416 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2417 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2418 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2419 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2420 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2421 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2424 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2425 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2426 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2427 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2428 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2431 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2432 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2434 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2435 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2436 Improve header file function name parsing.
2439 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2440 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2443 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2445 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2446 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2447 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2449 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2450 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2452 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2453 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2455 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2456 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2457 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2459 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2460 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2461 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2462 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2463 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2464 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2465 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2466 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2467 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2469 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2470 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2471 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2472 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2473 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2475 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2476 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2477 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2478 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2479 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2480 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2481 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2482 multiple values to extend the available space.
2486 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2488 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2489 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2491 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2494 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2495 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2496 undesirable limitations.
2497 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2499 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2500 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2501 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2502 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2503 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2504 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2505 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2508 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2510 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2511 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2512 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2514 The latter two were purportedly from
2515 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2518 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2519 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2520 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2523 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2524 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2527 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2528 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2529 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2530 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2532 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2533 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2534 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2537 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2538 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2539 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2540 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2541 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2542 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2545 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2547 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2548 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2551 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2552 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2554 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2555 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2556 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2557 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2560 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2561 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2564 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2565 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2566 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2567 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2568 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2569 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2570 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2574 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2575 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2576 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2577 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2580 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2581 under VC++ build system.
2584 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2585 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2588 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2590 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2591 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2592 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2593 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2594 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2596 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2597 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2598 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2600 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2603 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2604 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2607 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2608 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2610 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2613 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2614 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2616 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2617 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2620 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2621 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2625 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2627 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2630 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2633 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2634 key into the same file any more.
2637 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2640 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2641 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2643 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2644 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2647 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2648 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2649 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2650 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2651 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2652 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2654 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2655 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2656 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2659 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2660 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2661 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2662 - add new function for parameter creation
2663 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2664 BN_BLINDING parameters
2665 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2666 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2667 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2671 *) Add support for DTLS.
2672 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2674 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2675 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2678 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2679 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2682 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2683 the apps/openssl applications.
2686 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2687 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2688 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2691 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2692 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2694 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2695 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2697 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2698 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2699 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2700 avoid this algorithm.)
2704 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2705 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2706 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2709 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2710 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2713 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2714 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2715 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2718 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2720 The blank line is mandatory.
2724 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2725 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2729 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2730 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2732 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2733 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2734 to support policy checking and print out.
2737 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2738 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2739 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2740 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2742 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2745 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2746 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2748 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2749 implementation contributed by IBM.
2750 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2752 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2753 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2754 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2755 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2757 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2758 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2760 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2761 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2762 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2763 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2764 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2765 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2768 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2769 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
2770 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
2771 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
2772 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
2773 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
2774 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
2777 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
2780 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
2781 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
2782 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
2783 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
2784 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
2785 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
2786 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
2787 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
2790 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
2791 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
2792 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
2793 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
2796 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
2799 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
2802 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
2803 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
2804 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
2805 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
2806 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
2807 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
2808 BN_CTX's "bundling".
2811 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
2812 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
2815 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
2816 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
2817 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
2820 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
2821 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
2822 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
2826 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
2827 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
2830 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
2831 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
2832 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
2833 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
2836 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
2837 initialised value as BN_new().
2838 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
2840 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
2843 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
2844 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
2845 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
2846 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
2847 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
2848 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
2849 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
2850 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
2851 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
2852 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
2853 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
2854 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
2855 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
2856 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
2857 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
2859 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
2860 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
2861 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
2862 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
2865 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
2866 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
2867 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
2868 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
2869 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
2870 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
2871 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
2872 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
2873 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
2876 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
2877 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
2878 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
2879 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
2880 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
2881 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
2882 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
2885 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
2886 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
2887 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
2888 these have been updated also.
2891 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
2892 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
2893 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
2894 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
2895 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
2899 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
2900 structure of type "other".
2903 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
2904 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
2905 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
2906 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
2907 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
2908 situation in the script.
2909 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
2911 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2912 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
2913 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
2914 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
2915 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
2916 used as premaster secret.
2917 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2919 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
2920 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
2921 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2923 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
2924 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
2926 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
2927 control of the error stack.
2930 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
2933 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
2934 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
2935 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
2936 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
2939 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
2940 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
2941 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
2944 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
2945 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
2946 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2950 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2951 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2952 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2953 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2956 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2957 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2958 the following flags are defined:
2960 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2961 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2962 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2965 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2966 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2967 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2968 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2972 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2973 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2974 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2975 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2976 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2979 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2980 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2981 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2984 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2985 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2986 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2987 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2988 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2989 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2992 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2996 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2999 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3002 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3005 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3006 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3007 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3008 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3009 default implementation more easily.
3012 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3016 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3017 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3020 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3021 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3022 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3023 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3025 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3026 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3027 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3028 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3031 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3032 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3036 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3037 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3038 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3039 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3040 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3041 scalar * generator).
3042 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3044 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3045 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3046 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3050 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3051 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3052 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3053 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3054 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3055 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3056 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3057 linker additions, eg;
3058 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3061 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3062 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3063 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3066 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3067 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3068 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3072 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3073 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3074 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3075 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3078 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3079 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3080 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3081 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3082 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3083 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3084 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3085 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3086 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3087 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3089 Example for using the new callback interface:
3091 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3095 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3097 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3098 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3099 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3100 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3101 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3102 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3107 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3108 available to TLS with the number defined in
3109 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3112 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3113 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3115 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3116 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3117 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3118 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3120 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3121 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3123 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3124 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3128 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3129 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3132 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3133 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3134 and a macro that behave like
3135 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3137 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3140 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3141 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3142 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3144 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3146 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3149 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3150 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3151 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3152 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3154 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3155 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3156 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3157 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3158 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3159 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3160 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3161 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3163 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3164 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3167 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3168 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3170 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3171 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3172 files while avoiding the low level API.
3174 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3175 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3176 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3177 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3179 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3180 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3181 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3182 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3183 instead of the low level API.
3186 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3187 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3188 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3189 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3190 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3193 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3194 down to the template encoder.
3197 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3198 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3201 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3202 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3203 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3204 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3206 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3207 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3209 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3210 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3212 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3213 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3216 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3217 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3218 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3221 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3222 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3224 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3225 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3227 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3228 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3231 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3235 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3236 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3237 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3238 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3239 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3240 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3242 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3243 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3246 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3247 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3248 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3249 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3250 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3251 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3252 various internal method names.)
3254 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3255 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3257 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3258 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3260 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3261 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3263 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3264 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3265 methods are undefined.
3267 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3268 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3270 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3271 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3272 length of the modulus.
3274 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3275 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3277 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3278 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3280 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3281 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3283 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3284 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3285 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3288 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3289 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3290 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3291 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3293 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3294 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3295 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3296 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3298 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3299 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3301 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3302 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3303 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3304 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3305 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3307 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3308 This applies to the following functions:
3313 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3314 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3316 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3317 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3321 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3326 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3328 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3329 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3330 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3331 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3332 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3334 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3335 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3337 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3338 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3339 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3341 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3342 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3344 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3345 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3346 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3347 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3348 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3350 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3352 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3353 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3354 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3355 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3356 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3357 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3358 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3359 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3360 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3361 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3362 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3363 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3365 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3368 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3369 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3370 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3371 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3373 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3374 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3375 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3376 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3381 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3382 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3383 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3384 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3385 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3387 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3388 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3389 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3390 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3391 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3392 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3393 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3394 adding different types of curves.
3395 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3397 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3398 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3399 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3402 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3403 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3405 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3406 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3407 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3408 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3410 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3412 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3413 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3415 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3416 library. Most notably,
3417 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3418 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3419 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3420 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3421 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3422 extracted before the specific public key;
3423 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3424 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3426 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3427 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3429 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3430 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3431 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3432 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3434 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3435 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3436 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3438 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3439 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3440 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3441 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3442 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3443 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3447 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3449 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3451 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3453 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3454 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3455 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3458 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3459 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3460 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3463 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3466 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3467 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3470 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3471 run algorithm test programs.
3474 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3477 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3478 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3479 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3480 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3481 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3484 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3485 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3488 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3490 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3491 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3492 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3494 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3495 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3497 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3498 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3500 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3501 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3502 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3504 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3505 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3506 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3507 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3508 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3509 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3510 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3513 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3515 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3516 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3518 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3519 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3520 undesirable limitations.
3521 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3523 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3525 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3526 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3527 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3529 The latter two were purportedly from
3530 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3533 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3534 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3535 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3538 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3539 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3542 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3544 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3545 module in FIPS mode.
3548 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3551 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3552 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3553 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3554 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3557 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3559 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3560 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3561 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3562 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3563 the difference induced by this change.
3566 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3568 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3569 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3570 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3571 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3572 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3574 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3575 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3576 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3578 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3579 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3582 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3583 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3584 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3585 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3589 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3590 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3591 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3592 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3593 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3595 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3596 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3597 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3598 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3599 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3600 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3602 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3604 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3605 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3606 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3607 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3608 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3611 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3615 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3616 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3617 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3620 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3621 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3622 structures constant.
3625 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3627 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3630 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3631 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3632 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3633 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3634 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3635 some needed definitions.
3638 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3641 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3642 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3643 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3644 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3647 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3649 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3650 server and client random values. Previously
3651 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3652 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3654 This change has negligible security impact because:
3656 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3659 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3662 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3663 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3666 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3669 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3671 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3674 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3675 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3676 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3678 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3681 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3682 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3685 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3686 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3687 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3689 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3692 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3693 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3694 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3698 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3699 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3700 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3701 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3703 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3704 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3705 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3706 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3710 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3712 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3713 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3714 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3715 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3716 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3719 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3722 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3723 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3725 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3726 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3727 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3728 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3729 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3730 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3731 rather than being initialized to 1.
3734 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3736 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3737 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3738 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3740 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3742 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3744 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3745 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3746 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3747 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3748 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3749 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3752 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3753 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3754 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3755 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3756 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3760 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3761 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3762 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3763 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3764 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3767 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3768 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3769 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
3773 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
3774 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3776 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
3779 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
3781 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3783 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3784 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3786 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
3788 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3789 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3793 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
3794 exiting on the first error in a request.
3797 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3798 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3802 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3803 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3804 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3805 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3807 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3808 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3811 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
3812 blocks during encryption.
3815 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
3816 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
3817 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
3818 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
3822 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
3823 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
3824 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
3825 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
3826 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
3830 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
3832 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3833 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3834 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3835 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3838 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3839 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3840 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3841 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3842 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3844 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3845 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3846 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3847 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3848 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3849 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3850 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3851 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3852 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3855 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
3856 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
3857 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
3858 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
3861 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
3862 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
3865 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
3867 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3868 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3869 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3870 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3871 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3873 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3874 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3875 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3877 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
3878 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
3879 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
3880 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
3881 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
3883 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
3884 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
3885 used by default when no-err is given.
3888 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
3889 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
3891 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
3892 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
3893 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
3894 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
3895 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
3897 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
3898 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
3899 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
3900 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
3902 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
3904 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
3906 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
3908 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
3909 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
3910 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
3911 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
3915 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
3916 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3918 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
3919 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
3922 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3923 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3924 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
3925 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
3928 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
3929 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
3930 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
3931 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
3932 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
3933 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3934 followup to PR #377.
3937 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
3938 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
3941 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
3942 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
3943 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
3944 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
3946 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
3948 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
3951 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
3952 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
3953 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
3954 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
3956 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
3960 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
3961 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
3965 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
3966 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
3967 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
3968 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
3969 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
3970 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
3972 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
3973 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
3974 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3975 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3976 have to be made anyway).
3979 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3980 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3981 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3984 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3985 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3986 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3989 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3990 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3991 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3993 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3994 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3995 edit numbers of the version.
3996 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3998 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3999 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
4000 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
4002 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
4003 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4005 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4006 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4007 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4009 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
4010 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4012 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
4013 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4015 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
4016 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4018 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
4019 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4021 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
4023 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4025 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
4026 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
4027 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4029 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
4030 representations in a platform independent manner.
4031 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4033 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4034 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4035 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4037 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4039 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4041 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4042 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4044 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4046 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4048 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4049 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4050 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4052 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4054 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4056 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4057 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4059 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4060 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4062 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4063 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4065 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.

4068 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4070 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4072 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().

4078 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4079 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4081 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4083 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4084 the 0.9.6 release series:
4086 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4087 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4089 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4091 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4094 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4095 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4097 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4098 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4100 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4101 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4102 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4103 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4105 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4106 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4107 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4109 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4110 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4111 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4112 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4114 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4115 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4116 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4119 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4120 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4121 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4122 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4123 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4124 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4125 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4126 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4129 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4130 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4131 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4134 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4135 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4136 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4137 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4138 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4140 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4141 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4143 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4144 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4147 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4148 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4149 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4150 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4151 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4152 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4155 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4156 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4157 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4160 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4161 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4164 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4165 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4166 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4167 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4168 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4169 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4170 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4173 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4174 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4175 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4176 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4177 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4178 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4181 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4182 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4183 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4184 declaration has been changed from
4187 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4188 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4189 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4190 has been changed into
4191 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4193 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4194 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4195 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4197 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4198 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4200 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4201 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4202 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4203 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4204 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4205 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4206 always load it have also been added.
4209 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4210 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4211 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4213 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4215 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4216 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4217 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4219 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4220 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4221 command line option can be used to specify an
4225 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4226 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4229 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4230 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4231 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4234 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4235 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4236 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4237 to work with the new engine framework.
4238 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4240 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4241 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4242 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4243 to work with the new engine framework.
4246 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4247 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4248 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4250 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4251 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4253 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4254 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4255 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4256 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4258 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4260 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4261 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4263 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4264 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4266 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4267 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4268 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4271 *) Add new functions
4273 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4274 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4275 These are similar to
4278 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4279 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4280 still in the error queue.
4281 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4283 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4285 default_algorithms = ALL
4286 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4289 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4292 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4295 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4296 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4297 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4298 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4300 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4301 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4303 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4304 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4306 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4307 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4310 *) New functions/macros
4312 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4313 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4314 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4315 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4317 to request calling a callback function
4319 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4320 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4322 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4323 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4324 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4325 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4326 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4327 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4328 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4329 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4330 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4331 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4333 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4334 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4337 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4338 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4339 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4340 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4341 the configuration scripts.
4343 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4344 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4345 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4347 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4348 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4350 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4351 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4352 when reusing an existing buffer.
4355 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4356 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4359 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4360 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4363 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4364 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4365 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4366 has the same effect.
4367 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4369 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4370 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4371 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4372 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4373 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4374 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4377 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4378 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4379 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4380 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4382 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4383 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4384 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4385 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4387 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4388 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4391 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4392 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4393 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4394 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4395 default), and then completely removed.
4398 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4399 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4400 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4401 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4402 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4403 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4404 particular extension is supported.
4407 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4408 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4411 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4412 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4413 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4414 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4415 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4416 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4417 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4418 requires the destination to be valid.
4420 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4421 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4424 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4425 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4426 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4429 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4430 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4432 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4433 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4434 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4435 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4436 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4437 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4438 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4439 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4440 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4441 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4442 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4443 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4444 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4445 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4446 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4447 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4448 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4449 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4450 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4454 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4457 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4458 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4459 become part of libeay.num as well.
4462 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4463 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4464 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4465 false once a handshake has been completed.
4466 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4467 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4468 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4469 client has followed the request.)
4472 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4473 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4474 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4475 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4477 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4478 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4479 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4482 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4485 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4486 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4487 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4490 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4491 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4494 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4495 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4496 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4497 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4500 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4501 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4502 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4503 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4504 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4505 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4508 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4509 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4510 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4511 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4512 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4513 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4514 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4515 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4518 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4519 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4522 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4525 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4526 md_data void pointer.
4529 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4530 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4531 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4532 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4533 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4534 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4537 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4538 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4539 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4540 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4541 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4542 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4543 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4544 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4545 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4546 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4547 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4548 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4549 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4550 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4551 rather than letting it slide.
4553 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4554 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4555 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4558 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4559 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4560 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4561 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4562 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4563 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4564 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4565 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4566 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4569 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4570 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4571 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4572 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4573 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4575 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4578 *) Add EVP test program.
4581 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4584 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4585 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4586 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4587 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4588 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4591 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4592 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4593 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4594 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4595 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4596 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4597 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4599 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4600 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4601 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4606 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4607 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4608 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4609 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4610 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4614 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4615 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4616 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4617 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4620 des_key_schedule ks;
4622 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4623 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4625 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4628 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4629 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4630 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4631 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4632 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4633 functions prevents this.
4636 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4639 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4640 correct _ecb suffix.
4643 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4644 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4645 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4646 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4647 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4650 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4653 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4654 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4655 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4656 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4658 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4659 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4661 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4662 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4663 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4664 via Richard Levitte]
4666 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4667 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4668 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4669 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4672 *) Speed up EVP routines.

4690 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4691 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4693 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4694 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4695 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4696 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4697 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4698 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4701 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4702 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4705 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4706 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4707 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4708 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4710 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4711 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4712 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4713 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4714 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4715 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4719 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4720 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4721 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4722 and interrupts/cancellations.
4725 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4726 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4729 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4730 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4731 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4733 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4734 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4738 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4739 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4740 than this minimum value is recommended.
4743 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4744 that are easily reachable.
4747 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4748 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4750 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4752 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4753 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4754 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4755 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4758 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4759 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4760 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4763 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4764 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4765 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4766 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4767 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4768 internally such as S/MIME.
4770 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
4771 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
4772 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
4774 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
4778 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
4779 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
4780 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
4781 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
4783 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4785 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
4787 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
4788 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
4789 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
4793 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
4794 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
4795 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
4796 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
4797 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
4798 a window system and the like.
4801 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
4802 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
4805 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
4806 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
4807 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
4808 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
4809 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
4810 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
4811 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
4812 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
4813 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
4817 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
4818 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
4822 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
4823 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
4824 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
4825 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
4826 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
4827 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
4828 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
4829 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
4832 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
4833 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
4834 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
4835 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
4836 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
4837 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
4838 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
4839 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
4840 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
4841 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
4842 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
4843 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
4844 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
4845 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
4846 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
4847 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
4848 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
4851 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
4852 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
4853 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
4854 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
4855 internal engine_int.h header.
4858 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
4859 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
4860 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
4861 modify their own ones).
4864 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
4865 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
4866 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
4867 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
4868 later on via ctrl() commands.
4869 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
4870 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
4871 structural references.
4872 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
4873 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
4874 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
4875 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
4876 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
4877 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
4878 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
4879 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
4880 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
4881 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
4882 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
4883 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
4886 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
4887 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
4888 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
4889 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
4890 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
4891 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
4892 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
4893 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
4896 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
4897 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
4900 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
4901 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
4904 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
4905 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
4906 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
4907 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
4908 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
4909 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
4910 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
4913 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
4914 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
4915 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
4916 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
4917 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
4919 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
4920 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
4924 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
4926 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
4927 operations and provides various method functions that can also
4928 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
4930 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
4931 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
4933 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
4934 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
4935 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
4937 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
4938 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
4940 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
4941 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
4943 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
4945 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
4946 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
4947 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4950 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4951 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4954 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4955 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4956 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4957 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4958 is 40 of more characters long.
4961 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4962 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4966 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4967 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4970 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4971 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4975 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4977 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4978 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4981 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4983 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4984 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4985 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4987 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4988 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4990 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4993 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4997 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4998 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4999 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5000 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5002 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5004 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5005 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5007 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5008 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5009 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5010 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5011 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5012 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5014 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5015 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5017 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5018 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5020 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5021 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5023 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5024 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5025 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5026 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5028 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5029 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5031 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5032 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5034 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5035 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5036 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5037 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5038 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5041 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5042 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5043 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5044 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5047 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5048 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5049 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5053 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5054 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5055 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5056 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5057 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5058 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5059 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5060 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5064 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5065 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5068 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5069 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5070 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5071 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5074 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5075 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5076 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5077 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5078 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5079 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5080 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5081 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5082 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5083 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5086 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5087 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5088 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5089 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5090 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5091 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5092 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5093 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5095 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5096 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5097 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5098 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5101 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5102 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5103 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5104 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5106 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5107 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5108 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5109 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5110 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5114 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5115 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5116 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5117 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5121 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5122 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5123 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5126 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5127 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5128 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5129 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5130 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5133 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5136 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5137 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5138 option to ocsp utility.
5141 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5142 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5143 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5144 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5145 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5146 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5147 the request is nonce-less.
5150 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5151 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5152 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5155 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5156 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5157 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5160 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5161 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5162 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5163 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5164 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5167 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5168 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5172 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5173 additional certificates supplied.
5176 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5177 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5181 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5182 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5185 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5186 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5187 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5188 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5189 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5190 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5191 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5192 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5193 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5195 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5196 request to response.
5199 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5200 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5201 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5202 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5203 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5204 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5205 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5206 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5207 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5208 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5209 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5212 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5213 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5214 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5215 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5218 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5219 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5221 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5222 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5223 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5226 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5227 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5228 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5229 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5230 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5232 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5233 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5234 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5237 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5238 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5239 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5240 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5241 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5242 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5243 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5244 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5246 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5247 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5248 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5249 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5250 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5251 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5254 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5255 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5256 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5257 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5258 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5259 printout format cleaned up.
5262 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5263 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5264 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5265 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5266 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5267 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5268 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5269 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5272 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5273 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5274 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5275 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5276 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5277 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5278 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5279 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5282 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5283 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5284 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5285 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5287 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5289 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5290 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5291 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5292 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5295 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5296 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5297 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5298 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5300 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5302 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5303 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5304 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5305 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5307 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5308 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5310 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5311 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5312 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5315 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5316 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5317 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5320 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5321 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5322 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5323 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5324 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5325 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5326 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5327 functions are provided:
5329 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5330 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5331 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5332 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5334 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5335 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5336 extended allocation function is enabled.
5337 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5338 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5339 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5341 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5342 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5343 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5344 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5345 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5348 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5349 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5350 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5352 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5353 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5354 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5357 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5358 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5359 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5360 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5361 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5362 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5363 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5364 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5365 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5368 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5369 provide utility functions which an application needing
5370 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5371 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5372 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5374 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5375 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5376 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5377 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5378 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5379 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5380 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5381 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5382 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5384 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5385 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5386 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5387 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5390 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5391 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5392 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5393 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5394 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5395 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5396 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5397 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5398 will be added elsewhere.
5401 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5402 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5403 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5404 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5407 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5408 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5409 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5410 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5411 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5412 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5413 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5414 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5415 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5416 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5417 to produce the required SET OF.
5420 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5421 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5422 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5425 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5426 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5427 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5428 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5429 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5430 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5433 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5434 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5435 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5438 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5439 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5440 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5443 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5444 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5445 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5446 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5447 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5450 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5451 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5454 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5455 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5456 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5457 certifcates and CRLs.
5460 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5461 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5462 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5465 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5466 entries for variables.
5469 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5470 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5471 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5472 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5475 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5476 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5477 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5478 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5479 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5480 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5483 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5484 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5486 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5487 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5488 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5491 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5495 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5496 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5497 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5498 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5499 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5500 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5503 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5506 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5507 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5508 for now but they will eventually go away.
5511 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5512 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5513 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5514 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5515 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5516 has also been converted to the new form.
5519 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5520 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5521 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5522 for negative moduli.
5525 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5526 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5529 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5533 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5534 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5535 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5536 type-specific callbacks.
5539 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5541 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5542 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5544 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5545 in sections depending on the subject.
5548 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5552 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5553 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5554 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5555 be handled deterministically).
5556 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5558 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5559 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5560 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5563 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5566 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5567 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5568 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5569 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5570 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5573 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5574 sign of the number in question.
5576 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5578 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5579 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5580 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5581 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5582 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5585 *) New function BN_swap.
5588 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5589 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5590 results on negative inputs.
5593 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5594 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5595 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5598 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5599 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5600 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5601 and add new functions:
5610 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5614 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5616 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5617 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5619 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5620 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5621 be reduced modulo m.
5622 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5625 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5626 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5627 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5629 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5630 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5631 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5632 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5633 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5634 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5639 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5640 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5641 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5642 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5643 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5645 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5646 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5647 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5651 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5654 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5655 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5658 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5659 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5660 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5661 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5665 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5668 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5671 *) Add the following functions:
5673 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5675 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5677 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5679 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5680 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5681 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5682 libraries unless it's really needed.
5684 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5685 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5686 declarations (they differed!).
5689 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5692 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5695 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5698 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5699 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5702 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5703 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5704 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5706 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5707 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5710 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5713 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5716 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5719 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5720 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5721 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5723 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5724 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5725 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5726 different shared library filenames on each system.
5729 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5732 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5733 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5734 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5736 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5739 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5740 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5741 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5742 binary backward compatibility.
5743 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5744 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5745 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5749 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5750 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5751 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5752 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5756 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5759 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5760 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5761 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5762 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5766 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5769 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
5771 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5772 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5773 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5775 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
5777 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
5779 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
5780 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
5783 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
5785 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5787 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5788 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5790 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5791 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5795 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5796 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5800 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5801 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5802 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5803 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5805 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5806 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5809 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
5811 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5812 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5813 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5814 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5817 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5818 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5819 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5820 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5821 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5823 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5824 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5825 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5826 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5827 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5828 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5829 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5830 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5831 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5834 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
5836 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5837 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
5838 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5839 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5840 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5842 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5843 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5844 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5846 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
5848 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
5849 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
5850 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
5851 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
5852 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
5853 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
5856 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
5857 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
5858 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
5859 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
5860 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
5863 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
5864 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
5865 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
5867 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
5868 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
5869 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
5873 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
5874 being properly terminated.
5877 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
5878 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
5879 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
5880 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
5882 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
5883 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
5884 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
5885 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
5886 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
5887 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
5888 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
5890 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
5892 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
5893 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
5896 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
5897 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
5898 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),

5902 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
5903 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
5905 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
5906 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
5907 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
5908 (see [openssl.org #212]).
5909 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5911 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
5912 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
5915 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
5917 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
5918 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
5919 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
5921 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
5923 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
5924 and get fix the header length calculation.
5925 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
5926 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
5929 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
5930 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
5931 assertions could call abort()).
5932 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
5934 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
5936 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5937 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5938 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5940 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5942 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
5943 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
5944 by the selection routines (PR #130).
5947 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5951 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5952 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5953 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5955 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5956 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5957 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5958 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5959 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5963 *) Changes in security patch:
5965 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5966 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5967 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5970 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5971 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5972 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5973 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5974 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5976 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to

5980 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5981 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5982 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>

5985 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5986 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5988 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5989 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5990 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5992 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5994 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5995 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5996 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5998 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5999 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6001 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6002 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6003 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6004 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6005 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6006 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6009 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6010 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6011 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6012 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6015 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6018 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6019 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6020 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6021 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6022 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6023 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6025 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6026 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6027 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6028 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6029 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6032 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6033 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6034 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6035 BN_generate_prime().)
6037 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6038 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6039 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6043 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6044 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6047 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6048 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6049 when using non-blocking I/O.
6050 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6052 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6053 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6055 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6056 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6059 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6060 configuration for the versions before that.
6061 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6063 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6064 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6065 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6066 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6069 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6070 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6071 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.

6082 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6083 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6085 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6086 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6087 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6088 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6089 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6090 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6091 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6094 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6095 using a local variable.
6096 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6098 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6099 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6100 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6102 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6105 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6106 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6108 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6109 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6110 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6112 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6114 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6115 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6116 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6117 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6120 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6124 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6125 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6126 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6127 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6128 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6130 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6131 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6132 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6134 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6135 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6136 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6138 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6139 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6140 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6141 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6143 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6144 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6145 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6147 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6149 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6150 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6152 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6154 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6155 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6156 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6157 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6159 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6160 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6161 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6162 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6164 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6165 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6167 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6168 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6169 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6172 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6173 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6174 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6176 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6178 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6179 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6180 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6181 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6182 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6183 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6184 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6187 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6188 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6189 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6190 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6192 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6193 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6194 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6195 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6196 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6197 the client will at least see that alert.
6200 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6204 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6205 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6206 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6208 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6209 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6210 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6211 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6214 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6215 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6216 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6218 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6219 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6220 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6221 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6222 may leak via logfiles.)
6224 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6225 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6226 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6227 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6231 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6232 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6235 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6236 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6237 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6238 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6239 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6242 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6243 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6245 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6246 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6247 followed by modular reduction.
6248 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6250 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6251 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6254 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6255 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6256 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6257 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6260 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6263 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6264 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6267 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6268 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6269 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6270 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6271 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6272 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6274 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6276 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6277 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6278 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6279 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6280 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6282 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6285 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6286 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6287 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6288 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6289 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6290 to allow the necessary settings.
6293 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6294 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6295 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6296 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6299 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6300 dh->length and always used
6302 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6304 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6305 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6306 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6307 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6308 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6313 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6315 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6321 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6322 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6323 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6324 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6326 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6327 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6328 always reject numbers >= n.
6331 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6332 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6333 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6334 variable) is not atomic.
6337 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6338 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6339 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6340 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6342 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6343 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6345 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6347 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6349 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6352 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6354 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6355 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6356 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6357 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6358 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6359 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6360 to traverse all of 'state'.
6362 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6363 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6364 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6366 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6367 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6369 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6370 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6371 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6372 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6373 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6374 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6375 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6376 further strengthens the PRNG.
6379 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6382 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6383 an error message in this case.
6386 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6389 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6390 positive and less than q.
6393 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6394 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6396 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6398 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6399 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6403 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6405 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6406 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6407 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6408 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6409 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6410 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6411 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6414 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6415 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6416 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6417 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6419 Both problems are now fixed.
6422 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6423 (previously it was 1024).
6426 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6427 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6430 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6433 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6434 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6435 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6438 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6439 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6440 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6441 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6442 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6443 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6444 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6445 environment variables.
6447 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6448 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6449 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6452 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6453 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6454 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6455 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6456 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6457 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6460 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6464 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6466 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6467 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6469 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6470 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6471 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6472 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6476 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6477 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6478 amount of data available.
6479 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6480 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6482 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6483 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6484 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6485 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6488 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6489 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6493 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6494 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6495 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6496 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6499 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6502 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6505 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6506 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6508 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6510 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6511 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6512 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6513 (but broken) behaviour.
6516 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6518 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6520 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6521 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6524 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6528 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6529 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6531 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6534 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6535 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6536 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6538 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6539 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6540 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6543 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6544 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6547 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6548 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6550 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6552 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6554 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6555 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6556 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6557 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6560 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6563 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6564 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6565 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6567 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6570 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6572 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6573 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6574 but the code is actually correct.
6577 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6578 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6579 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6580 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6581 and leaves the highest bit random.
6582 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6584 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6585 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6586 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6587 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6588 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6589 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6590 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6593 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6596 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6597 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6600 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6601 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6602 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6603 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6607 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6608 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6609 and break the signature.
6611 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6613 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6617 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6618 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6619 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6620 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6621 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6624 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6625 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6627 *) ./config script fixes.
6628 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6630 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6633 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6634 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6635 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6636 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6637 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6639 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6640 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6643 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6644 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6647 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6648 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6649 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6650 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6652 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6653 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6655 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6656 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6657 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6658 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6659 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6661 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6664 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6667 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6670 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6673 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6674 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6677 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6678 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6679 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6680 result of the server certificate verification.)
6683 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6684 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6685 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6689 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6690 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6691 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6692 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6693 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6694 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6695 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6696 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6699 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6700 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6701 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6702 happening the other way round.
6705 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6706 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6709 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6710 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6711 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6712 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6715 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6716 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6718 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6720 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6721 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6722 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6725 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6727 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6729 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6733 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6735 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6736 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6737 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6738 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6739 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6741 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6742 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6746 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6749 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6751 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6752 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6753 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6754 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6755 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6756 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6757 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6758 by the Finished messages.
6761 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6762 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6764 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6765 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6766 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6767 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6768 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
6772 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
6773 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
6774 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
6775 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
6776 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
6777 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
6778 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
6779 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
6780 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
6784 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
6785 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
6786 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
6787 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
6789 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
6790 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
6791 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
6792 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
6793 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
6796 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
6797 been tested well enough.
6800 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
6801 it can return incorrect results.
6802 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
6803 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
6806 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
6807 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
6808 include zero length content when signing messages.
6811 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
6812 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
6815 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
6818 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
6822 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
6823 packages. The default package contains applications, application
6824 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
6825 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
6826 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
6827 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
6830 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
6831 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6833 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
6834 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
6836 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
6837 random number < q in the DSA library.
6840 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
6841 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
6842 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
6843 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
6844 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
6845 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
6846 just makes things more complicated.)
6849 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
6853 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
6854 work better on such systems.
6855 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6857 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
6858 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
6859 keyid to the certificates aux info.
6862 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
6863 if there was more than one signature.
6864 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
6866 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
6867 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
6868 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
6869 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
6872 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
6873 rather than always using the current time.
6876 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
6877 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
6878 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
6879 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
6880 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
6881 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
6883 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
6884 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
6886 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
6888 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
6889 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
6890 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
6891 the same hash value.
6893 As a result various functions (which were all internal
6894 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
6895 structure. This will break anything that messed round
6896 with X509_STORE internally.
6898 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
6899 exact match, rather than just subject name.
6901 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
6902 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
6903 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
6904 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
6905 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
6906 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
6907 entirely (maybe later...).
6909 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
6911 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
6912 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
6913 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
6914 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
6915 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
6916 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
6917 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
6918 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
6920 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
6921 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6923 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
6924 to customise the verify behaviour.
6927 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
6928 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
6931 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
6932 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
6933 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
6934 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
6935 request is improperly encoded.
6938 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
6939 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
6942 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
6943 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
6945 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
6946 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6950 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6951 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6952 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6955 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6956 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6957 BIO/fp routines also added.
6960 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6961 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6963 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6964 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6965 demos/state_machine.
6968 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6969 generation and verification.
6972 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6973 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6974 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6975 encode and decode it manually.
6978 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6980 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6982 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6983 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6984 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6985 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6987 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6988 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6989 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6990 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6991 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6994 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6997 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6998 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6999 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7001 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7002 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7003 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7004 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7005 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7006 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7007 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7008 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7010 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7011 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7013 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7015 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7016 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7017 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7021 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7022 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7023 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7024 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7028 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7030 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7033 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7034 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7035 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7036 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7037 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7038 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7039 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7040 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7041 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7042 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7043 short or long names are found.
7046 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7047 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7049 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7050 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7051 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7052 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7054 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7055 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7056 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7057 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7060 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7061 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7062 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7065 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7066 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7067 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7068 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7069 to allow the various flags to be set.
7072 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7073 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7074 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7075 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7076 dates to be checked.
7079 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7080 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7081 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7084 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7085 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7086 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7089 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7090 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7093 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7094 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7095 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7096 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7097 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7098 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7101 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7102 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7106 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7110 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7111 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7112 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7113 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7114 form signing output easier to verify.
7117 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7120 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7121 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7122 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7123 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7124 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7125 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7126 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7127 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7128 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7129 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7132 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7134 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7135 the syntax given in objects.README.
7136 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7138 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7141 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7142 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7143 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7144 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7145 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7146 consistent name changes.
7149 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7152 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7153 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7154 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7155 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7158 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7159 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7160 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7164 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7165 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7166 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7167 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7170 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7171 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7172 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7173 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7174 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7175 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7176 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7177 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7178 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7179 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7180 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7183 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7184 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7185 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7186 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7187 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7188 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7189 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7190 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7191 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7192 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7195 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7196 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7197 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7198 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7200 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7201 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7202 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7203 omit any duplicate addresses.
7206 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7207 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7210 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7211 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7212 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7213 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7214 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7217 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7219 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7220 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7221 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7222 Free => OPENSSL_free
7225 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7226 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7229 *) CygWin32 support.
7230 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7232 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7233 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7234 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7235 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7236 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7240 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7241 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7242 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7243 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7244 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7245 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7246 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7249 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7250 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7251 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7252 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7253 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7254 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7255 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7256 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7257 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7258 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7259 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7262 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7263 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7264 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7265 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7266 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7268 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7269 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7270 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7271 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7272 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7274 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7277 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7278 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7279 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7280 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7282 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7284 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7287 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7288 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7289 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7292 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7293 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7294 any installed hardware versions can.
7297 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7298 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7299 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7303 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7304 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7305 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7306 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7307 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7309 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7310 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7313 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7314 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7317 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7318 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7319 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7323 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7326 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7327 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7328 but no ssl client purpose.
7329 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7331 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7332 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7333 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7334 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7335 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7336 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7337 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7338 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7339 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7340 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7341 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7344 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7345 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7346 be obtained from the error queue.
7349 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7350 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7351 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7352 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7355 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7358 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7359 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7360 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7361 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7362 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7365 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7366 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7367 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7368 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7369 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7372 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7373 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7374 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7376 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7378 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7379 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7380 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7381 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7382 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7383 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7384 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7385 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7386 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7387 or "the configuration storage API"...
7389 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7391 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7392 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7394 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7396 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7398 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7399 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7400 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7401 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7402 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7403 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7404 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7406 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7407 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7410 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7411 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7412 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7413 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7416 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7417 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7418 them in a portable way.
7419 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7421 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7423 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7425 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7426 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7428 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7429 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7430 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7433 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7434 was larger than the MD block size.
7435 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7437 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7438 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7439 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7440 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7444 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7445 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7446 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7448 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7450 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7452 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7453 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7454 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7455 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7456 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7457 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7459 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7460 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7462 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7463 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7466 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7469 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7470 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7472 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7473 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7474 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7475 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7478 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7479 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7480 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7481 does not suppress any output.
7484 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7485 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7486 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7487 with all the associated security issues.
7489 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7490 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7491 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7492 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7493 use the value in the default purpose.
7496 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7497 and fix a memory leak.
7500 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7501 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7502 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7503 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7506 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7507 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7508 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7509 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7512 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7513 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7514 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7517 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7518 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7521 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7522 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7526 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7527 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7530 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7531 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7532 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7535 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7536 number generation fails.
7539 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7542 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7543 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7545 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7548 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7549 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7551 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7552 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7554 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7556 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7557 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7560 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7561 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7563 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7564 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7567 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7568 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7569 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7570 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7571 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7572 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7574 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7575 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7576 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7580 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7581 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7582 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7583 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7584 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7585 counter, some don't.)
7586 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7587 counters or duplicate objects.
7590 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7591 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7594 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7595 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7596 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7598 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7599 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7600 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7604 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7605 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7608 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7609 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7610 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7614 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7615 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7616 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7619 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7620 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7621 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7622 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7623 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7624 should work without changes.
7627 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7628 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7629 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7630 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7631 must be defined. E.g.,
7632 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7633 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7634 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7635 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7637 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7641 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7642 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7643 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7646 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7647 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7648 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7649 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7652 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7653 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7654 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7655 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7656 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7657 is prompted for as usual.
7660 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7661 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7662 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7663 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7665 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7666 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7667 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7668 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7671 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7674 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7678 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7681 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7684 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7688 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7691 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7694 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7695 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7698 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7699 options to produce them.
7702 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7703 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7706 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7710 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7711 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7712 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7713 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7714 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7715 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7716 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7719 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7722 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7723 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7724 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7727 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7728 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7730 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7731 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7734 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7735 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7736 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7740 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7741 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7743 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7744 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7745 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7746 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7747 generation becomes much faster.
7749 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7750 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7751 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7752 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7753 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7754 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7755 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7756 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7757 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7758 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7761 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7762 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7763 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7764 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7765 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7766 trial division stage.
7769 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
7773 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
7776 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
7779 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
7780 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
7781 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
7785 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
7786 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
7787 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
7790 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
7791 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
7792 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
7793 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
7795 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
7796 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
7799 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
7802 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
7803 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
7804 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
7805 Rabin-Miller iterations.
7808 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
7809 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
7810 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
7813 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
7814 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
7815 (instead of parameters) in future.
7818 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
7819 when a new cipher list is set.
7822 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
7823 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
7826 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
7827 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
7828 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
7830 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
7831 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
7832 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
7833 an error is flagged.
7835 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
7836 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
7837 the readability was also increased :-)
7838 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7840 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
7841 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
7842 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
7843 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
7847 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
7848 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
7851 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
7852 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
7853 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
7854 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
7857 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
7858 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
7859 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
7860 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
7861 because they handle more complex structures.)
7864 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
7865 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
7866 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
7867 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
7869 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
7870 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
7871 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
7872 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
7873 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
7874 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
7875 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
7878 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
7879 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
7880 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
7881 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
7882 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
7885 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
7888 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
7889 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
7890 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
7891 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
7892 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
7895 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
7899 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
7900 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
7901 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
7902 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
7905 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
7908 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
7909 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
7910 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
7911 international characters are used.
7913 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
7914 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
7915 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
7919 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
7920 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
7921 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
7924 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
7925 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
7926 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
7927 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
7928 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
7929 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
7931 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
7932 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
7933 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
7934 be handled by the string table functions.
7936 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
7937 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
7938 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
7939 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
7940 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
7944 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
7945 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
7946 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
7947 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
7948 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7950 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7951 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7952 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7953 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7956 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7957 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7958 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7959 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7960 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7964 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7965 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7966 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7967 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7968 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7969 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7970 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7971 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7973 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7974 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7975 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7978 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7979 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7980 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7981 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7982 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7983 support to pkcs8 application.
7986 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7987 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7988 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7989 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7990 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7991 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7994 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7995 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7996 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7997 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7998 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8002 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8003 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8004 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8005 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8009 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8010 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8011 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8012 and any application specific purposes.
8014 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8015 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8016 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8017 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8018 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8019 if the certificate is self signed.
8022 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8023 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8026 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8027 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8028 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8029 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8032 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8033 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8034 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8035 Update documentation.
8038 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8039 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8040 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8041 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8042 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8045 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8047 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8049 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8050 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8051 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8052 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8053 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8054 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8055 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8056 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8057 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8058 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8060 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8062 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8063 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8064 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8065 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8066 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8068 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8069 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8070 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8071 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8072 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8073 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8074 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8075 request additional information:
8076 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8077 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8079 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8080 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8081 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8084 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8085 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8088 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8091 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8092 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8094 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8095 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8096 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8100 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8101 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8102 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8104 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8105 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8106 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8107 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8108 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8109 included in OpenSSL.
8112 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8113 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8114 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8115 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8116 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8117 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8120 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8124 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8125 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8126 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8127 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8128 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8132 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8136 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8137 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8138 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8139 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8140 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8141 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8142 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8143 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8144 be maintained manually.
8146 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8147 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8148 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8149 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8150 work because people forget to call this function]
8151 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8152 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8153 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8156 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8157 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8158 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8159 should be discouraged from doing it.
8162 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8163 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8164 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8165 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8166 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8167 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8170 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8171 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8172 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8174 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8175 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8176 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8178 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8179 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8180 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8181 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8182 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8183 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8185 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8186 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8187 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8189 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8190 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8193 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8194 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8195 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8196 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8199 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8202 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8203 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8204 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8205 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8206 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8207 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8208 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8209 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8210 keys so we should be OK.
8212 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8213 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8214 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8215 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8216 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8217 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8218 stay in the name of compatibility.
8220 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8221 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8222 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8224 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8225 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8226 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8227 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8228 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8229 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8233 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8234 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8235 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8236 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8237 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8238 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8239 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8240 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8241 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8242 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8243 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8244 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8245 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8248 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8251 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8252 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8253 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8254 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8255 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8256 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8257 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8258 openssl verify ss.pem
8259 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8260 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8264 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8265 (and add it to external session representation).
8266 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8267 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8268 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8269 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8270 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8271 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8273 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8275 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8276 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8277 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8278 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8280 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8281 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8282 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8285 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8286 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8287 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8291 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8292 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8293 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8295 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8296 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8297 certificate auxiliary information.
8300 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8304 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8305 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8306 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8307 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8308 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8309 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8310 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8313 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8314 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8317 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8318 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8319 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8320 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8323 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8326 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8327 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8330 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8331 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8332 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8333 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8334 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8335 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8336 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8337 using the new 'x509' options.
8339 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8340 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8341 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8342 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8346 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8347 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8348 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8349 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8350 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8353 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8354 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8355 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8356 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8357 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8358 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8359 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8360 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8361 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8362 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8365 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8366 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8367 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8368 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8369 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8370 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8371 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8374 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8375 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8376 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8377 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8378 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8379 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8380 openssl.cnf for more info.
8383 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8384 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8385 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8386 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8387 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8388 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8389 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8390 md should be large enough anyway.
8393 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8394 for handling the random seed file.
8396 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8398 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8401 x509 (when signing).
8402 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8403 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8404 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8406 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8407 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8408 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8409 that support '-rand'.
8412 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8413 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8416 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8417 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8420 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8421 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8422 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8423 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8427 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8428 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8429 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8430 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8433 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8434 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8435 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8436 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8437 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8438 print out all the purposes.
8441 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8445 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8446 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8447 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8448 single function call.
8451 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8452 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8455 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8456 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8457 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8460 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8461 when producing the local key id.
8462 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8464 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8465 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8466 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8470 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8471 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8472 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8473 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8476 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8477 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8478 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8479 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8481 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8482 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8483 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8484 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8486 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8487 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8488 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8489 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8490 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8491 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8492 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8493 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8494 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8495 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8496 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8497 trivial: move one line.
8498 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8500 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8501 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8502 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8503 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8504 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8505 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8506 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8507 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8508 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8509 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8510 with an event loop for example.
8513 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8514 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8515 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8516 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8517 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8518 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8519 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8520 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8521 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8524 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8525 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8526 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8527 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8528 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8529 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8532 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8533 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8534 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8535 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8537 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8538 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8539 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8540 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8544 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8545 (still largely untested)
8548 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8549 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8552 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8553 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8556 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8557 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8558 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8561 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8562 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8563 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8564 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8565 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8568 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8571 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8572 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8573 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8574 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8575 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8579 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8580 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8583 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8586 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8587 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8588 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8589 are otherwise ignored at present.
8592 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8593 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8594 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8595 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8596 copied until the next read.
8599 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8600 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8601 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8604 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8605 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8606 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8607 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8608 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8609 associated functions.
8612 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8613 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8614 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8615 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8616 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8617 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8618 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8619 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8620 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8624 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8625 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8626 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8627 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8630 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8631 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8632 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8633 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8634 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8638 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8639 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8643 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8644 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8645 extensions to be obtained and added.
8648 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8649 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8652 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8654 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8655 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8657 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8658 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8660 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8664 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8665 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8666 DH parameters contain its length).
8668 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8669 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8670 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8671 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8672 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8673 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8674 utter importance to use
8675 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8677 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8678 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8679 attacks may become possible!
8682 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8685 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8686 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8689 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8690 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8691 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8695 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8696 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8697 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8698 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8699 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8700 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8701 private key operations.
8704 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8707 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8708 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8710 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8711 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8712 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8713 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8714 the password callback is called.
8715 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8717 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8719 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8720 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8721 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8722 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8723 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8724 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8727 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8728 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8729 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8730 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8731 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8732 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8735 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8738 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8739 delete an unused file.
8742 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8743 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8744 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8745 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8748 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8749 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8750 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8754 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8755 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8756 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8758 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8759 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8760 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8761 comparison" warnings.
8762 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8765 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8766 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8767 derived keys are printed to stderr.
8770 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
8771 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
8773 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
8774 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
8776 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
8777 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
8778 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
8780 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
8781 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
8782 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
8783 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
8784 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
8786 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
8788 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
8789 The interface is as follows:
8790 Applications can use
8791 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
8792 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
8793 "off" is now the default.
8794 The library internally uses
8795 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
8796 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
8797 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
8799 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
8800 even the default) are now avoided.
8802 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
8803 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
8804 than just having a counter.
8806 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
8808 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
8812 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
8813 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
8814 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
8815 Initial "mode" flags are:
8817 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
8818 a single record has been written.
8819 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
8820 retries use the same buffer location.
8821 (But all of the contents must be
8825 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
8828 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
8829 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
8831 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
8832 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
8833 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
8836 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
8837 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
8839 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
8841 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
8842 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
8843 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
8844 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
8846 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
8847 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
8849 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
8850 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
8851 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
8852 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
8853 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
8854 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
8857 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
8858 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
8859 necessary function names.
8862 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
8863 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
8864 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
8865 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
8868 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
8869 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
8870 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
8873 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
8874 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
8875 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
8876 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
8878 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
8882 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
8883 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
8884 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
8887 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
8888 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
8892 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
8893 for the encoded length.
8894 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
8896 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
8899 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
8900 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
8901 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
8902 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
8905 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
8906 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
8907 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8909 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
8910 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
8911 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
8915 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
8916 to use the new extension code.
8919 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
8920 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
8921 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
8925 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
8926 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
8927 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
8931 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
8934 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
8935 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
8936 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
8939 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
8940 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
8941 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
8942 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
8945 *) DES library cleanups.
8948 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
8949 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8950 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8951 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8952 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8956 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8957 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8960 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8961 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8962 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8963 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8964 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8965 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8966 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8967 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8968 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8971 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8972 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8973 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8974 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8975 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8976 value doesn't matter.
8979 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8983 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8984 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8985 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8986 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8988 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8991 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8992 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8993 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8995 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8996 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8998 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9001 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9004 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9007 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9011 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9013 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9015 *) Updated some demos.
9016 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9018 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9021 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9024 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9027 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9028 instead of using a fixed path.
9031 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9034 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9038 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9040 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9041 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9042 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9044 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9045 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9046 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9047 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9048 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9049 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9050 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9051 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9052 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9053 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9056 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9057 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9060 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9061 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9062 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9063 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9064 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9066 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9069 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9070 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9071 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9074 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9077 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9078 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9079 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9080 key elements as negative integers.
9083 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9084 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9087 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9089 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9090 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9091 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9094 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9095 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9096 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9097 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9098 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9101 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9104 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9105 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9106 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9107 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9109 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9110 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9111 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9113 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9114 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9115 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9116 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9117 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9118 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9119 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9120 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9121 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9123 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9124 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9125 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9126 does not influence s as it used to.
9128 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9129 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9130 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9131 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9132 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9133 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9136 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9137 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9138 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9142 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9143 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9144 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9148 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9149 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9150 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9154 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9155 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9158 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9159 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9164 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9165 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9167 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9168 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9170 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9173 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9176 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9177 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9179 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9180 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9181 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9185 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9186 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9187 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9188 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9189 now it really counts the depth.
9192 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9193 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9194 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9195 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9196 didn't match the private key).
9198 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9199 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9200 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9203 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9206 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9210 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9211 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9212 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9215 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9218 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9219 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9220 such as /usr/local/bin.
9223 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9224 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9226 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9229 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9230 extension adding in x509 utility.
9233 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9236 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9240 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9243 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9244 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9245 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9246 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9247 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9248 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9249 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9250 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9251 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9252 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9255 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9258 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9259 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9262 *) Fix some race conditions.
9265 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9266 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9269 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9272 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9273 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9274 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9275 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9277 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9278 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9280 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9281 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9282 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9284 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9285 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9287 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9290 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9291 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9293 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9296 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9297 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9299 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9300 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9303 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9304 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9307 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9308 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9311 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9312 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9315 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9316 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9319 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9320 support typesafe stack.
9323 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9324 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9326 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9327 old X509V3 handling code.
9330 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9333 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9336 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9339 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9340 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9342 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9343 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9344 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9345 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9346 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9349 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9350 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9351 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9352 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9353 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9355 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9356 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9357 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9358 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9360 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9361 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9362 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9363 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9365 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9366 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9367 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9368 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9369 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9370 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9373 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9374 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9377 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9378 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9381 *) Tweaks to Configure
9382 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9384 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9388 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9391 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9392 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9395 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9396 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9397 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9400 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9403 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9404 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9407 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9408 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9409 to library startup routines.
9412 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9413 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9414 codes along the way.
9417 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9418 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9419 objects to objects.h
9422 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9423 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9426 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9427 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9429 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9430 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9431 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9433 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9434 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9435 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9437 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9438 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9439 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9442 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9444 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9445 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9448 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9449 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9450 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9451 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9452 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9454 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9455 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9456 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9458 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9460 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9462 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9464 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9465 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9467 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9468 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9469 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9470 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9472 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9475 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9476 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9477 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9478 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9481 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9482 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9483 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9486 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9487 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9488 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9489 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9490 installed as `perl').
9491 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9493 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9494 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9496 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9497 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9498 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9499 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9500 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9503 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9506 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9507 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9508 is horrible: I feel ill....
9511 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9512 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9513 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9514 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9517 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9518 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9520 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9521 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9522 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9523 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9525 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9526 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9527 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9528 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9529 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9530 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9532 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9534 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9535 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9537 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9538 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9540 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9543 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9544 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9548 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9549 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9550 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9551 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9552 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9553 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9554 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9555 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9556 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9557 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9558 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9560 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9563 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9564 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9565 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9566 for linking it into DSOs.
9567 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9569 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9573 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9574 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9575 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9576 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9577 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9578 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9580 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9581 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9582 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9583 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9584 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9585 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9586 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9588 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9589 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9590 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9594 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9595 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9596 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9597 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9600 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9601 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9602 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9603 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9604 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9608 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9609 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9610 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9611 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9612 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9614 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9615 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9616 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9618 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9619 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9621 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9622 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9623 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9624 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9625 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9628 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9629 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9630 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9631 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9632 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9633 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9634 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9637 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9639 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9640 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9643 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9644 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9646 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9647 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9650 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9651 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9652 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9653 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9654 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9656 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9657 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9658 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9659 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9660 no way to reconfigure them.
9661 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9662 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9663 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9664 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9665 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9666 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9668 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9669 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9670 recognized by the users.
9671 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9673 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9674 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9675 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9676 already masked variable.
9677 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9679 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9680 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9682 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9683 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9684 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9685 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9687 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9688 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9689 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9691 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9692 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9693 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9694 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9695 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9696 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9697 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9698 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9700 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9702 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9703 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9704 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9706 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9707 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9711 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9712 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9714 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9715 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9716 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9717 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9720 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9723 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9724 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9726 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9729 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9730 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9733 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9734 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9737 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9738 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9739 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9740 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9741 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9742 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9743 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9746 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9747 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9749 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9750 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9751 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9752 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9753 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9755 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9756 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9757 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9760 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9761 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9765 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9766 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9767 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9769 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
9770 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
9771 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
9775 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
9776 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
9777 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
9778 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
9781 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
9782 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
9783 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
9784 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
9787 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
9788 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
9789 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
9790 so it wasn't spotted.
9791 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
9793 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
9794 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
9795 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
9796 vectors if you have them.
9799 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
9800 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
9803 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
9804 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
9805 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
9806 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
9808 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
9809 it will update them.
9812 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
9813 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
9814 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
9815 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
9816 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
9817 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
9818 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
9819 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9821 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
9822 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
9823 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
9824 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
9825 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
9826 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
9827 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
9828 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
9829 the crypto/md/ stuff).
9830 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9832 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
9833 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
9834 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
9835 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
9836 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
9839 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
9843 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
9844 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9846 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
9847 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9849 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
9850 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
9853 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
9854 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
9856 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
9857 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
9859 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
9862 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
9866 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
9867 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
9868 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
9869 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9871 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9874 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
9877 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
9880 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
9881 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
9884 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
9885 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
9889 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
9890 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
9893 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
9894 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
9895 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
9898 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
9899 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
9900 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
9901 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
9902 properly to be processed.
9905 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
9906 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
9907 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
9910 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
9911 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
9913 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
9914 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
9915 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
9916 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
9917 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
9918 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
9919 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
9920 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
9921 or delete all the .err files.
9924 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
9925 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
9926 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
9927 to regenerate it if needed.
9928 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
9929 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
9931 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
9932 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9934 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
9935 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
9936 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
9937 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
9938 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
9941 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
9942 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9944 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
9945 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9947 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
9948 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
9949 error, but didn't set one).
9950 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9952 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9955 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9956 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9959 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9960 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9962 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9963 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9964 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9965 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9966 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9967 OID is not part of the table.
9970 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9971 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9974 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9977 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9978 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9982 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9983 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9985 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9987 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9989 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9990 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9992 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9993 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9995 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9996 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9998 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9999 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10002 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10003 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10006 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10007 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10009 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10010 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10012 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10013 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10015 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10016 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10018 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10019 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10020 unused in the certificate verification process.
10021 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10023 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10024 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10027 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10028 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10029 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10031 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10032 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10033 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10034 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10035 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10037 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10038 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10041 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10044 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10047 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10048 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10050 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10053 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10056 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10059 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10060 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10061 other error libraries.
10064 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10067 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10068 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10072 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10073 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10074 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10075 the new set of documenation files.
10076 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10078 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10079 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10080 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10081 number of arguments.
10082 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10084 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10087 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10088 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10089 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10091 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10094 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10098 unixware-2.0-pentium
10102 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10103 before they are needed.
10106 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10110 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10112 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10113 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10114 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10116 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10119 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10120 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10121 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10123 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10124 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10125 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10127 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10128 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10129 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10131 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10132 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10134 *) Updated the README file.
10135 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10137 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10138 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10139 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10141 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10142 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10143 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10145 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10146 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10147 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10148 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10149 o removed obsolete TODO file
10150 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10151 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10153 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10154 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10155 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f
10156 crypto/pem/gmon.out crypto/perlasm/f crypto/pkcs7/build crypto/rsa/f
10157 crypto/sha/asm/f crypto/threads/f ms/zzz ssl/f ssl/f.mak test/f
10158 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10159 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10161 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10164 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10165 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10166 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10168 [The OpenSSL Project]
10171 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10173 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10176 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10179 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10180 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10183 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10184 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10188 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10190 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10192 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10195 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10198 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10201 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10204 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10207 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10210 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10213 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10216 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10219 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10222 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10225 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10228 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10231 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10234 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10237 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10240 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10243 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10244 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10245 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10248 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10249 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10252 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10255 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10258 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10259 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10262 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10265 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10268 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
10269 bytes sent in the client random.
