5 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.1 [xx XXX xxxx]
9 *) 'openssl passwd' can now produce SHA256 and SHA512 based output,
10 using the algorithm defined in
11 https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
14 Changes between 1.1.0b and 1.1.0c [xx XXX xxxx]
16 *) Removed automatic addition of RPATH in shared libraries and executables,
17 as this was a remainder from OpenSSL 1.0.x and isn't needed any more.
20 Changes between 1.1.0a and 1.1.0b [26 Sep 2016]
22 *) Fix Use After Free for large message sizes
24 The patch applied to address CVE-2016-6307 resulted in an issue where if a
25 message larger than approx 16k is received then the underlying buffer to
26 store the incoming message is reallocated and moved. Unfortunately a
27 dangling pointer to the old location is left which results in an attempt to
28 write to the previously freed location. This is likely to result in a
29 crash, however it could potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
31 This issue only affects OpenSSL 1.1.0a.
33 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Święcki.
37 Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.1.0a [22 Sep 2016]
39 *) OCSP Status Request extension unbounded memory growth
41 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request
42 extension. If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a
43 large OCSP Status Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded
44 memory growth on the server. This will eventually lead to a Denial Of
45 Service attack through memory exhaustion. Servers with a default
46 configuration are vulnerable even if they do not support OCSP. Builds using
47 the "no-ocsp" build time option are not affected.
49 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
53 *) SSL_peek() hang on empty record
55 OpenSSL 1.1.0 SSL/TLS will hang during a call to SSL_peek() if the peer
56 sends an empty record. This could be exploited by a malicious peer in a
57 Denial Of Service attack.
59 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Alex Gaynor.
63 *) Excessive allocation of memory in tls_get_message_header() and
64 dtls1_preprocess_fragment()
66 A (D)TLS message includes 3 bytes for its length in the header for the
67 message. This would allow for messages up to 16Mb in length. Messages of
68 this length are excessive and OpenSSL includes a check to ensure that a
69 peer is sending reasonably sized messages in order to avoid too much memory
70 being consumed to service a connection. A flaw in the logic of version
71 1.1.0 means that memory for the message is allocated too early, prior to
72 the excessive message length check. Due to way memory is allocated in
73 OpenSSL this could mean an attacker could force up to 21Mb to be allocated
74 to service a connection. This could lead to a Denial of Service through
75 memory exhaustion. However, the excessive message length check still takes
76 place, and this would cause the connection to immediately fail. Assuming
77 that the application calls SSL_free() on the failed conneciton in a timely
78 manner then the 21Mb of allocated memory will then be immediately freed
79 again. Therefore the excessive memory allocation will be transitory in
80 nature. This then means that there is only a security impact if:
82 1) The application does not call SSL_free() in a timely manner in the event
83 that the connection fails
85 2) The application is working in a constrained environment where there is
86 very little free memory
88 3) The attacker initiates multiple connection attempts such that there are
89 multiple connections in a state where memory has been allocated for the
90 connection; SSL_free() has not yet been called; and there is insufficient
91 memory to service the multiple requests.
93 Except in the instance of (1) above any Denial Of Service is likely to be
94 transitory because as soon as the connection fails the memory is
95 subsequently freed again in the SSL_free() call. However there is an
96 increased risk during this period of application crashes due to the lack of
97 memory - which would then mean a more serious Denial of Service.
99 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Shi Lei (Gear Team, Qihoo 360 Inc.)
100 (CVE-2016-6307 and CVE-2016-6308)
103 *) solaris-x86-cc, i.e. 32-bit configuration with vendor compiler,
104 had to be removed. Primary reason is that vendor assembler can't
105 assemble our modules with -KPIC flag. As result it, assembly
106 support, was not even available as option. But its lack means
107 lack of side-channel resistant code, which is incompatible with
108 security by todays standards. Fortunately gcc is readily available
109 prepackaged option, which we firmly point at...
112 Changes between 1.0.2h and 1.1.0 [25 Aug 2016]
114 *) Windows command-line tool supports UTF-8 opt-in option for arguments
115 and console input. Setting OPENSSL_WIN32_UTF8 environment variable
116 (to any value) allows Windows user to access PKCS#12 file generated
117 with Windows CryptoAPI and protected with non-ASCII password, as well
118 as files generated under UTF-8 locale on Linux also protected with
122 *) To mitigate the SWEET32 attack (CVE-2016-2183), 3DES cipher suites
123 have been disabled by default and removed from DEFAULT, just like RC4.
124 See the RC4 item below to re-enable both.
127 *) The method for finding the storage location for the Windows RAND seed file
128 has changed. First we check %RANDFILE%. If that is not set then we check
129 the directories %HOME%, %USERPROFILE% and %SYSTEMROOT% in that order. If
130 all else fails we fall back to C:\.
133 *) The EVP_EncryptUpdate() function has had its return type changed from void
134 to int. A return of 0 indicates and error while a return of 1 indicates
138 *) The flags RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME and
139 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME which previously provided the ability to switch
140 off the constant time implementation for RSA, DSA and DH have been made
141 no-ops and deprecated.
144 *) Windows RAND implementation was simplified to only get entropy by
145 calling CryptGenRandom(). Various other RAND-related tickets
147 [Joseph Wylie Yandle, Rich Salz]
149 *) The stack and lhash API's were renamed to start with OPENSSL_SK_
150 and OPENSSL_LH_, respectively. The old names are available
151 with API compatibility. They new names are now completely documented.
154 *) Unify TYPE_up_ref(obj) methods signature.
155 SSL_CTX_up_ref(), SSL_up_ref(), X509_up_ref(), EVP_PKEY_up_ref(),
156 X509_CRL_up_ref(), X509_OBJECT_up_ref_count() methods are now returning an
157 int (instead of void) like all others TYPE_up_ref() methods.
158 So now these methods also check the return value of CRYPTO_atomic_add(),
159 and the validity of object reference counter.
160 [fdasilvayy@gmail.com]
162 *) With Windows Visual Studio builds, the .pdb files are installed
163 alongside the installed libraries and executables. For a static
164 library installation, ossl_static.pdb is the associate compiler
165 generated .pdb file to be used when linking programs.
168 *) Remove openssl.spec. Packaging files belong with the packagers.
171 *) Automatic Darwin/OSX configuration has had a refresh, it will now
172 recognise x86_64 architectures automatically. You can still decide
173 to build for a different bitness with the environment variable
174 KERNEL_BITS (can be 32 or 64), for example:
176 KERNEL_BITS=32 ./config
180 *) Change default algorithms in pkcs8 utility to use PKCS#5 v2.0,
181 256 bit AES and HMAC with SHA256.
184 *) Remove support for MIPS o32 ABI on IRIX (and IRIX only).
187 *) Triple-DES ciphers have been moved from HIGH to MEDIUM.
190 *) To enable users to have their own config files and build file templates,
191 Configure looks in the directory indicated by the environment variable
192 OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR as well as the in-source Configurations/
193 directory. On VMS, OPENSSL_LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR is expected to be a logical
194 name and is used as is.
197 *) The following datatypes were made opaque: X509_OBJECT, X509_STORE_CTX,
198 X509_STORE, X509_LOOKUP, and X509_LOOKUP_METHOD. The unused type
199 X509_CERT_FILE_CTX was removed.
202 *) "shared" builds are now the default. To create only static libraries use
203 the "no-shared" Configure option.
206 *) Remove the no-aes, no-hmac, no-rsa, no-sha and no-md5 Configure options.
207 All of these option have not worked for some while and are fundamental
211 *) Make various cleanup routines no-ops and mark them as deprecated. Most
212 global cleanup functions are no longer required because they are handled
213 via auto-deinit (see OPENSSL_init_crypto and OPENSSL_init_ssl man pages).
214 Explicitly de-initing can cause problems (e.g. where a library that uses
215 OpenSSL de-inits, but an application is still using it). The affected
216 functions are CONF_modules_free(), ENGINE_cleanup(), OBJ_cleanup(),
217 EVP_cleanup(), BIO_sock_cleanup(), CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(),
218 RAND_cleanup(), SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods(), ERR_free_strings() and
222 *) --strict-warnings no longer enables runtime debugging options
223 such as REF_DEBUG. Instead, debug options are automatically
224 enabled with '--debug' builds.
225 [Andy Polyakov, Emilia Käsper]
227 *) Made DH and DH_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DH objects
228 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
229 these have been added.
232 *) Made RSA and RSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing RSA
233 objects have been moved out of the public header files. New
234 functions for managing these have been added.
237 *) Made DSA and DSA_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing DSA objects
238 have been moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing
239 these have been added.
242 *) Made BIO and BIO_METHOD opaque. The structures for managing BIOs have been
243 moved out of the public header files. New functions for managing these
247 *) Removed no-rijndael as a config option. Rijndael is an old name for AES.
250 *) Removed the mk1mf build scripts.
253 *) Headers are now wrapped, if necessary, with OPENSSL_NO_xxx, so
254 it is always safe to #include a header now.
257 *) Removed the aged BC-32 config and all its supporting scripts
260 *) Removed support for Ultrix, Netware, and OS/2.
263 *) Add support for HKDF.
266 *) Add support for blake2b and blake2s
269 *) Added support for "pipelining". Ciphers that have the
270 EVP_CIPH_FLAG_PIPELINE flag set have a capability to process multiple
271 encryptions/decryptions simultaneously. There are currently no built-in
272 ciphers with this property but the expectation is that engines will be able
273 to offer it to significantly improve throughput. Support has been extended
274 into libssl so that multiple records for a single connection can be
275 processed in one go (for >=TLS 1.1).
278 *) Added the AFALG engine. This is an async capable engine which is able to
279 offload work to the Linux kernel. In this initial version it only supports
280 AES128-CBC. The kernel must be version 4.1.0 or greater.
283 *) OpenSSL now uses a new threading API. It is no longer necessary to
284 set locking callbacks to use OpenSSL in a multi-threaded environment. There
285 are two supported threading models: pthreads and windows threads. It is
286 also possible to configure OpenSSL at compile time for "no-threads". The
287 old threading API should no longer be used. The functions have been
288 replaced with "no-op" compatibility macros.
289 [Alessandro Ghedini, Matt Caswell]
291 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
292 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
295 *) Add SSL_CIPHER queries for authentication and key-exchange.
298 *) Changes to the DEFAULT cipherlist:
299 - Prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA.
300 - Prefer AEAD ciphers over legacy ciphers.
301 - Prefer ECDSA over RSA when both certificates are available.
302 - Prefer TLSv1.2 ciphers/PRF.
303 - Remove DSS, SEED, IDEA, CAMELLIA, and AES-CCM from the
307 *) Change the ECC default curve list to be this, in order: x25519,
308 secp256r1, secp521r1, secp384r1.
311 *) RC4 based libssl ciphersuites are now classed as "weak" ciphers and are
312 disabled by default. They can be re-enabled using the
313 enable-weak-ssl-ciphers option to Configure.
316 *) If the server has ALPN configured, but supports no protocols that the
317 client advertises, send a fatal "no_application_protocol" alert.
318 This behaviour is SHALL in RFC 7301, though it isn't universally
319 implemented by other servers.
322 *) Add X25519 support.
323 Add ASN.1 and EVP_PKEY methods for X25519. This includes support
324 for public and private key encoding using the format documented in
325 draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-02. The coresponding EVP_PKEY method supports
326 key generation and key derivation.
328 TLS support complies with draft-ietf-tls-rfc4492bis-08 and uses
332 *) Deprecate SRP_VBASE_get_by_user.
333 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
334 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak (CVE-2016-0798),
335 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP
336 seed, even if the seed is configured.
338 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
339 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
340 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
341 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
342 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
343 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
344 that of a valid user.
347 *) Configuration change; it's now possible to build dynamic engines
348 without having to build shared libraries and vice versa. This
349 only applies to the engines in engines/, those in crypto/engine/
350 will always be built into libcrypto (i.e. "static").
352 Building dynamic engines is enabled by default; to disable, use
353 the configuration option "disable-dynamic-engine".
355 The only requirements for building dynamic engines are the
356 presence of the DSO module and building with position independent
357 code, so they will also automatically be disabled if configuring
358 with "disable-dso" or "disable-pic".
360 The macros OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE and OPENSSL_NO_DYNAMIC_ENGINE
361 are also taken away from openssl/opensslconf.h, as they are
365 *) Configuration change; if there is a known flag to compile
366 position independent code, it will always be applied on the
367 libcrypto and libssl object files, and never on the application
368 object files. This means other libraries that use routines from
369 libcrypto / libssl can be made into shared libraries regardless
370 of how OpenSSL was configured.
372 If this isn't desirable, the configuration options "disable-pic"
373 or "no-pic" can be used to disable the use of PIC. This will
374 also disable building shared libraries and dynamic engines.
377 *) Removed JPAKE code. It was experimental and has no wide use.
380 *) The INSTALL_PREFIX Makefile variable has been renamed to
381 DESTDIR. That makes for less confusion on what this variable
382 is for. Also, the configuration option --install_prefix is
386 *) Heartbeat for TLS has been removed and is disabled by default
387 for DTLS; configure with enable-heartbeats. Code that uses the
388 old #define's might need to be updated.
389 [Emilia Käsper, Rich Salz]
391 *) Rename REF_CHECK to REF_DEBUG.
394 *) New "unified" build system
396 The "unified" build system is aimed to be a common system for all
397 platforms we support. With it comes new support for VMS.
399 This system builds supports building in a different directory tree
400 than the source tree. It produces one Makefile (for unix family
401 or lookalikes), or one descrip.mms (for VMS).
403 The source of information to make the Makefile / descrip.mms is
404 small files called 'build.info', holding the necessary
405 information for each directory with source to compile, and a
406 template in Configurations, like unix-Makefile.tmpl or
409 We rely heavily on the perl module Text::Template.
412 *) Added support for auto-initialisation and de-initialisation of the library.
413 OpenSSL no longer requires explicit init or deinit routines to be called,
414 except in certain circumstances. See the OPENSSL_init_crypto() and
415 OPENSSL_init_ssl() man pages for further information.
418 *) The arguments to the DTLSv1_listen function have changed. Specifically the
419 "peer" argument is now expected to be a BIO_ADDR object.
421 *) Rewrite of BIO networking library. The BIO library lacked consistent
422 support of IPv6, and adding it required some more extensive
423 modifications. This introduces the BIO_ADDR and BIO_ADDRINFO types,
424 which hold all types of addresses and chains of address information.
425 It also introduces a new API, with functions like BIO_socket,
426 BIO_connect, BIO_listen, BIO_lookup and a rewrite of BIO_accept.
427 The source/sink BIOs BIO_s_connect, BIO_s_accept and BIO_s_datagram
428 have been adapted accordingly.
431 *) RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1 now accepts inputs with and without
435 *) CRIME protection: disable compression by default, even if OpenSSL is
436 compiled with zlib enabled. Applications can still enable compression
437 by calling SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION), or by
438 using the SSL_CONF library to configure compression.
441 *) The signature of the session callback configured with
442 SSL_CTX_sess_set_get_cb was changed. The read-only input buffer
443 was explicitly marked as 'const unsigned char*' instead of
447 *) Always DPURIFY. Remove the use of uninitialized memory in the
448 RNG, and other conditional uses of DPURIFY. This makes -DPURIFY a no-op.
451 *) Removed many obsolete configuration items, including
452 DES_PTR, DES_RISC1, DES_RISC2, DES_INT
453 MD2_CHAR, MD2_INT, MD2_LONG
455 IDEA_SHORT, IDEA_LONG
456 RC2_SHORT, RC2_LONG, RC4_LONG, RC4_CHUNK, RC4_INDEX
457 [Rich Salz, with advice from Andy Polyakov]
459 *) Many BN internals have been moved to an internal header file.
460 [Rich Salz with help from Andy Polyakov]
462 *) Configuration and writing out the results from it has changed.
463 Files such as Makefile include/openssl/opensslconf.h and are now
464 produced through general templates, such as Makefile.in and
465 crypto/opensslconf.h.in and some help from the perl module
468 Also, the center of configuration information is no longer
469 Makefile. Instead, Configure produces a perl module in
470 configdata.pm which holds most of the config data (in the hash
471 table %config), the target data that comes from the target
472 configuration in one of the Configurations/*.conf files (in
476 *) To clarify their intended purposes, the Configure options
477 --prefix and --openssldir change their semantics, and become more
478 straightforward and less interdependent.
480 --prefix shall be used exclusively to give the location INSTALLTOP
481 where programs, scripts, libraries, include files and manuals are
482 going to be installed. The default is now /usr/local.
484 --openssldir shall be used exclusively to give the default
485 location OPENSSLDIR where certificates, private keys, CRLs are
486 managed. This is also where the default openssl.cnf gets
488 If the directory given with this option is a relative path, the
489 values of both the --prefix value and the --openssldir value will
490 be combined to become OPENSSLDIR.
491 The default for --openssldir is INSTALLTOP/ssl.
493 Anyone who uses --openssldir to specify where OpenSSL is to be
494 installed MUST change to use --prefix instead.
497 *) The GOST engine was out of date and therefore it has been removed. An up
498 to date GOST engine is now being maintained in an external repository.
499 See: https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Binaries. Libssl still retains
500 support for GOST ciphersuites (these are only activated if a GOST engine
504 *) EGD is no longer supported by default; use enable-egd when
506 [Ben Kaduk and Rich Salz]
508 *) The distribution now has Makefile.in files, which are used to
509 create Makefile's when Configure is run. *Configure must be run
510 before trying to build now.*
513 *) The return value for SSL_CIPHER_description() for error conditions
517 *) Support for RFC6698/RFC7671 DANE TLSA peer authentication.
519 Obtaining and performing DNSSEC validation of TLSA records is
520 the application's responsibility. The application provides
521 the TLSA records of its choice to OpenSSL, and these are then
522 used to authenticate the peer.
524 The TLSA records need not even come from DNS. They can, for
525 example, be used to implement local end-entity certificate or
526 trust-anchor "pinning", where the "pin" data takes the form
527 of TLSA records, which can augment or replace verification
528 based on the usual WebPKI public certification authorities.
531 *) Revert default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED setting. Instead OpenSSL
532 continues to support deprecated interfaces in default builds.
533 However, applications are strongly advised to compile their
534 source files with -DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=0x10100000L, which hides
535 the declarations of all interfaces deprecated in 0.9.8, 1.0.0
536 or the 1.1.0 releases.
538 In environments in which all applications have been ported to
539 not use any deprecated interfaces OpenSSL's Configure script
540 should be used with the --api=1.1.0 option to entirely remove
541 support for the deprecated features from the library and
542 unconditionally disable them in the installed headers.
543 Essentially the same effect can be achieved with the "no-deprecated"
544 argument to Configure, except that this will always restrict
545 the build to just the latest API, rather than a fixed API
548 As applications are ported to future revisions of the API,
549 they should update their compile-time OPENSSL_API_COMPAT define
550 accordingly, but in most cases should be able to continue to
551 compile with later releases.
553 The OPENSSL_API_COMPAT versions for 1.0.0, and 0.9.8 are
554 0x10000000L and 0x00908000L, respectively. However those
555 versions did not support the OPENSSL_API_COMPAT feature, and
556 so applications are not typically tested for explicit support
557 of just the undeprecated features of either release.
560 *) Add support for setting the minimum and maximum supported protocol.
561 It can bet set via the SSL_set_min_proto_version() and
562 SSL_set_max_proto_version(), or via the SSL_CONF's MinProtocol and
563 MaxProtcol. It's recommended to use the new APIs to disable
564 protocols instead of disabling individual protocols using
565 SSL_set_options() or SSL_CONF's Protocol. This change also
566 removes support for disabling TLS 1.2 in the OpenSSL TLS
567 client at compile time by defining OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT.
570 *) Support for ChaCha20 and Poly1305 added to libcrypto and libssl.
573 *) New EC_KEY_METHOD, this replaces the older ECDSA_METHOD and ECDH_METHOD
574 and integrates ECDSA and ECDH functionality into EC. Implementations can
575 now redirect key generation and no longer need to convert to or from
578 Note: the ecdsa.h and ecdh.h headers are now no longer needed and just
579 include the ec.h header file instead.
582 *) Remove support for all 40 and 56 bit ciphers. This includes all the export
583 ciphers who are no longer supported and drops support the ephemeral RSA key
584 exchange. The LOW ciphers currently doesn't have any ciphers in it.
587 *) Made EVP_MD_CTX, EVP_MD, EVP_CIPHER_CTX, EVP_CIPHER and HMAC_CTX
588 opaque. For HMAC_CTX, the following constructors and destructors
591 HMAC_CTX *HMAC_CTX_new(void);
592 void HMAC_CTX_free(HMAC_CTX *ctx);
594 For EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER, complete APIs to create, fill and
595 destroy such methods has been added. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) and
596 EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for documentation.
599 1) EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() and
600 HMAC_CTX_cleanup() were removed. HMAC_CTX_reset() and
601 EVP_MD_CTX_reset() should be called instead to reinitialise
602 an already created structure.
603 2) For consistency with the majority of our object creators and
604 destructors, EVP_MD_CTX_(create|destroy) were renamed to
605 EVP_MD_CTX_(new|free). The old names are retained as macros
606 for deprecated builds.
609 *) Added ASYNC support. Libcrypto now includes the async sub-library to enable
610 cryptographic operations to be performed asynchronously as long as an
611 asynchronous capable engine is used. See the ASYNC_start_job() man page for
612 further details. Libssl has also had this capability integrated with the
613 introduction of the new mode SSL_MODE_ASYNC and associated error
614 SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC. See the SSL_CTX_set_mode() and SSL_get_error() man
615 pages. This work was developed in partnership with Intel Corp.
618 *) SSL_{CTX_}set_ecdh_auto() has been removed and ECDH is support is
619 always enabled now. If you want to disable the support you should
620 exclude it using the list of supported ciphers. This also means that the
621 "-no_ecdhe" option has been removed from s_server.
624 *) SSL_{CTX}_set_tmp_ecdh() which can set 1 EC curve now internally calls
625 SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves() which can set a list.
628 *) Remove support for SSL_{CTX_}set_tmp_ecdh_callback(). You should set the
629 curve you want to support using SSL_{CTX_}set1_curves().
632 *) State machine rewrite. The state machine code has been significantly
633 refactored in order to remove much duplication of code and solve issues
634 with the old code (see ssl/statem/README for further details). This change
635 does have some associated API changes. Notably the SSL_state() function
636 has been removed and replaced by SSL_get_state which now returns an
637 "OSSL_HANDSHAKE_STATE" instead of an int. SSL_set_state() has been removed
638 altogether. The previous handshake states defined in ssl.h and ssl3.h have
642 *) All instances of the string "ssleay" in the public API were replaced
643 with OpenSSL (case-matching; e.g., OPENSSL_VERSION for #define's)
644 Some error codes related to internal RSA_eay API's were renamed.
647 *) The demo files in crypto/threads were moved to demo/threads.
650 *) Removed obsolete engines: 4758cca, aep, atalla, cswift, nuron, gmp,
652 [Matt Caswell, Rich Salz]
654 *) New ASN.1 embed macro.
656 New ASN.1 macro ASN1_EMBED. This is the same as ASN1_SIMPLE except the
657 structure is not allocated: it is part of the parent. That is instead of
665 This reduces memory fragmentation and make it impossible to accidentally
666 set a mandatory field to NULL.
668 This currently only works for some fields specifically a SEQUENCE, CHOICE,
669 or ASN1_STRING type which is part of a parent SEQUENCE. Since it is
670 equivalent to ASN1_SIMPLE it cannot be tagged, OPTIONAL, SET OF or
674 *) Remove EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY, a compile-time option that never compiled.
677 *) Removed DES and RC4 ciphersuites from DEFAULT. Also removed RC2 although
678 in 1.0.2 EXPORT was already removed and the only RC2 ciphersuite is also
679 an EXPORT one. COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT has been updated accordingly to add
680 DES and RC4 ciphersuites.
683 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
684 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
685 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
686 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
689 *) Fix no-stdio build.
690 [ David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com> and also
691 Ivan Nestlerode <ivan.nestlerode@sonos.com> ]
693 *) New testing framework
694 The testing framework has been largely rewritten and is now using
695 perl and the perl modules Test::Harness and an extended variant of
696 Test::More called OpenSSL::Test to do its work. All test scripts in
697 test/ have been rewritten into test recipes, and all direct calls to
698 executables in test/Makefile have become individual recipes using the
699 simplified testing OpenSSL::Test::Simple.
701 For documentation on our testing modules, do:
703 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test/Simple.pm
704 perldoc test/testlib/OpenSSL/Test.pm
708 *) Revamped memory debug; only -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG and -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ABORT
709 are used; the latter aborts on memory leaks (usually checked on exit).
710 Some undocumented "set malloc, etc., hooks" functions were removed
711 and others were changed. All are now documented.
714 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
716 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
718 *) Rewrite PSK to support ECDHE_PSK, DHE_PSK and RSA_PSK. Add ciphersuites
719 from RFC4279, RFC4785, RFC5487, RFC5489.
721 Thanks to Christian J. Dietrich and Giuseppe D'Angelo for the
722 original RSA_PSK patch.
725 *) Dropped support for the SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED flag. This SSLeay
726 era flag was never set throughout the codebase (only read). Also removed
727 SSL3_FLAGS_POP_BUFFER which was only used if
728 SSL3_FLAGS_DELAY_CLIENT_FINISHED was also set.
731 *) Changed the default name options in the "ca", "crl", "req" and "x509"
732 to be "oneline" instead of "compat".
735 *) Remove SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG. This is SSLeay legacy, we're
736 not aware of clients that still exhibit this bug, and the workaround
737 hasn't been working properly for a while.
740 *) The return type of BIO_number_read() and BIO_number_written() as well as
741 the corresponding num_read and num_write members in the BIO structure has
742 changed from unsigned long to uint64_t. On platforms where an unsigned
743 long is 32 bits (e.g. Windows) these counters could overflow if >4Gb is
747 *) Given the pervasive nature of TLS extensions it is inadvisable to run
748 OpenSSL without support for them. It also means that maintaining
749 the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option within the code is very invasive (and probably
750 not well tested). Therefore the OPENSSL_NO_TLSEXT option has been removed.
753 *) Removed support for the two export grade static DH ciphersuites
754 EXP-DH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA and EXP-DH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA. These two ciphersuites
755 were newly added (along with a number of other static DH ciphersuites) to
756 1.0.2. However the two export ones have *never* worked since they were
757 introduced. It seems strange in any case to be adding new export
758 ciphersuites, and given "logjam" it also does not seem correct to fix them.
761 *) Version negotiation has been rewritten. In particular SSLv23_method(),
762 SSLv23_client_method() and SSLv23_server_method() have been deprecated,
763 and turned into macros which simply call the new preferred function names
764 TLS_method(), TLS_client_method() and TLS_server_method(). All new code
765 should use the new names instead. Also as part of this change the ssl23.h
766 header file has been removed.
769 *) Support for Kerberos ciphersuites in TLS (RFC2712) has been removed. This
770 code and the associated standard is no longer considered fit-for-purpose.
773 *) RT2547 was closed. When generating a private key, try to make the
774 output file readable only by the owner. This behavior change might
775 be noticeable when interacting with other software.
777 *) Documented all exdata functions. Added CRYPTO_free_ex_index.
781 *) Added HTTP GET support to the ocsp command.
784 *) Changed default digest for the dgst and enc commands from MD5 to
788 *) RAND_pseudo_bytes has been deprecated. Users should use RAND_bytes instead.
791 *) Added support for TLS extended master secret from
792 draft-ietf-tls-session-hash-03.txt. Thanks for Alfredo Pironti for an
793 initial patch which was a great help during development.
796 *) All libssl internal structures have been removed from the public header
797 files, and the OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN option has been removed (since it is
798 now redundant). Users should not attempt to access internal structures
799 directly. Instead they should use the provided API functions.
802 *) config has been changed so that by default OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is used.
803 Access to deprecated functions can be re-enabled by running config with
804 "enable-deprecated". In addition applications wishing to use deprecated
805 functions must define OPENSSL_USE_DEPRECATED. Note that this new behaviour
806 will, by default, disable some transitive includes that previously existed
807 in the header files (e.g. ec.h will no longer, by default, include bn.h)
810 *) Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
811 compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
812 at https://www.openssl.org/source/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
813 for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
816 *) SSLv2 support has been removed. It still supports receiving a SSLv2
817 compatible client hello.
820 *) Increased the minimal RSA keysize from 256 to 512 bits [Rich Salz],
821 done while fixing the error code for the key-too-small case.
822 [Annie Yousar <a.yousar@informatik.hu-berlin.de>]
824 *) CA.sh has been removmed; use CA.pl instead.
827 *) Removed old DES API.
830 *) Remove various unsupported platforms:
836 Sinix/ReliantUNIX RM400
841 16-bit platforms such as WIN16
844 *) Clean up OPENSSL_NO_xxx #define's
845 Use setbuf() and remove OPENSSL_NO_SETVBUF_IONBF
846 Rename OPENSSL_SYSNAME_xxx to OPENSSL_SYS_xxx
847 OPENSSL_NO_EC{DH,DSA} merged into OPENSSL_NO_EC
848 OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD160, OPENSSL_NO_RIPEMD merged into OPENSSL_NO_RMD160
849 OPENSSL_NO_FP_API merged into OPENSSL_NO_STDIO
850 Remove OPENSSL_NO_BIO OPENSSL_NO_BUFFER OPENSSL_NO_CHAIN_VERIFY
851 OPENSSL_NO_EVP OPENSSL_NO_FIPS_ERR OPENSSL_NO_HASH_COMP
852 OPENSSL_NO_LHASH OPENSSL_NO_OBJECT OPENSSL_NO_SPEED OPENSSL_NO_STACK
853 OPENSSL_NO_X509 OPENSSL_NO_X509_VERIFY
854 Remove MS_STATIC; it's a relic from platforms <32 bits.
857 *) Cleaned up dead code
858 Remove all but one '#ifdef undef' which is to be looked at.
861 *) Clean up calling of xxx_free routines.
862 Just like free(), fix most of the xxx_free routines to accept
863 NULL. Remove the non-null checks from callers. Save much code.
866 *) Add secure heap for storage of private keys (when possible).
867 Add BIO_s_secmem(), CBIGNUM, etc.
868 Contributed by Akamai Technologies under our Corporate CLA.
871 *) Experimental support for a new, fast, unbiased prime candidate generator,
872 bn_probable_prime_dh_coprime(). Not currently used by any prime generator.
873 [Felix Laurie von Massenbach <felix@erbridge.co.uk>]
875 *) New output format NSS in the sess_id command line tool. This allows
876 exporting the session id and the master key in NSS keylog format.
877 [Martin Kaiser <martin@kaiser.cx>]
879 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
881 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
883 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
884 in i2d_ECPrivateKey. Thanks to Ted Unangst for feedback on this issue.
885 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
887 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
888 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
890 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
891 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
894 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
895 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
896 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
897 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
899 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
900 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
901 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
902 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
904 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
905 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
906 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
908 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
909 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
912 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
914 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
915 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
917 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
918 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
920 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
923 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
927 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
928 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
929 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
930 algorithms and include tests cases.
933 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
937 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
938 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
941 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
942 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
944 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
945 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
948 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
949 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
953 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
954 sign or verify all in one operation.
957 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporating all the algorithm
958 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
959 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
962 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
965 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
968 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
969 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
970 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
971 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
972 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
975 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
979 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
980 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
981 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
984 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
987 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
988 POST to handle HMAC cases.
991 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
992 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
995 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
996 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
997 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
1000 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
1001 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
1002 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
1003 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
1004 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
1005 requested amount of entropy.
1008 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
1009 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
1012 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
1013 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
1014 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
1018 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
1019 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
1020 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
1023 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
1024 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
1025 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
1026 will never use XTS mode.
1029 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
1030 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
1031 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
1032 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
1033 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
1034 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
1037 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
1038 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
1039 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
1040 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
1043 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
1044 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
1045 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
1048 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
1051 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
1054 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
1055 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
1058 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
1059 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
1062 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
1063 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
1066 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
1067 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
1068 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
1069 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
1070 and rename any affected symbols.
1073 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
1074 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
1077 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
1078 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
1079 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
1082 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
1085 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
1086 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
1087 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
1090 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
1091 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
1094 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
1095 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
1096 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
1097 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
1098 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
1099 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
1103 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
1104 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
1105 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
1106 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
1107 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
1108 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
1109 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
1110 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
1113 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
1114 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
1117 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
1119 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1120 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
1122 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
1123 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
1124 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
1125 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
1126 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
1127 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
1129 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
1130 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
1131 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
1133 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
1135 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
1139 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
1140 Add CMAC pkey methods.
1143 *) Experimental renegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
1144 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
1145 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
1148 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
1149 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
1150 multi-process servers.
1153 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
1154 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
1155 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
1156 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
1157 RAND_METHOD structure.
1160 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
1161 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
1162 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
1163 whose return value is often ignored.
1166 *) New -noct, -requestct, -requirect and -ctlogfile options for s_client.
1167 These allow SCTs (signed certificate timestamps) to be requested and
1168 validated when establishing a connection.
1169 [Rob Percival <robpercival@google.com>]
1171 Changes between 1.0.2g and 1.0.2h [3 May 2016]
1173 *) Prevent padding oracle in AES-NI CBC MAC check
1175 A MITM attacker can use a padding oracle attack to decrypt traffic
1176 when the connection uses an AES CBC cipher and the server support
1179 This issue was introduced as part of the fix for Lucky 13 padding
1180 attack (CVE-2013-0169). The padding check was rewritten to be in
1181 constant time by making sure that always the same bytes are read and
1182 compared against either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer
1183 checked that there was enough data to have both the MAC and padding
1186 This issue was reported by Juraj Somorovsky using TLS-Attacker.
1190 *) Fix EVP_EncodeUpdate overflow
1192 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
1193 Base64 encoding of binary data. If an attacker is able to supply very large
1194 amounts of input data then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
1197 Internally to OpenSSL the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function is primarily used by
1198 the PEM_write_bio* family of functions. These are mainly used within the
1199 OpenSSL command line applications, so any application which processes data
1200 from an untrusted source and outputs it as a PEM file should be considered
1201 vulnerable to this issue. User applications that call these APIs directly
1202 with large amounts of untrusted data may also be vulnerable.
1204 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1208 *) Fix EVP_EncryptUpdate overflow
1210 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function. If an attacker
1211 is able to supply very large amounts of input data after a previous call to
1212 EVP_EncryptUpdate() with a partial block then a length check can overflow
1213 resulting in a heap corruption. Following an analysis of all OpenSSL
1214 internal usage of the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function all usage is one of two
1215 forms. The first form is where the EVP_EncryptUpdate() call is known to be
1216 the first called function after an EVP_EncryptInit(), and therefore that
1217 specific call must be safe. The second form is where the length passed to
1218 EVP_EncryptUpdate() can be seen from the code to be some small value and
1219 therefore there is no possibility of an overflow. Since all instances are
1220 one of these two forms, it is believed that there can be no overflows in
1221 internal code due to this problem. It should be noted that
1222 EVP_DecryptUpdate() can call EVP_EncryptUpdate() in certain code paths.
1223 Also EVP_CipherUpdate() is a synonym for EVP_EncryptUpdate(). All instances
1224 of these calls have also been analysed too and it is believed there are no
1225 instances in internal usage where an overflow could occur.
1227 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1231 *) Prevent ASN.1 BIO excessive memory allocation
1233 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
1234 a short invalid encoding can cause allocation of large amounts of memory
1235 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
1237 Any application parsing untrusted data through d2i BIO functions is
1238 affected. The memory based functions such as d2i_X509() are *not* affected.
1239 Since the memory based functions are used by the TLS library, TLS
1240 applications are not affected.
1242 This issue was reported by Brian Carpenter.
1248 ASN1 Strings that are over 1024 bytes can cause an overread in applications
1249 using the X509_NAME_oneline() function on EBCDIC systems. This could result
1250 in arbitrary stack data being returned in the buffer.
1252 This issue was reported by Guido Vranken.
1256 *) Modify behavior of ALPN to invoke callback after SNI/servername
1257 callback, such that updates to the SSL_CTX affect ALPN.
1260 *) Remove LOW from the DEFAULT cipher list. This removes singles DES from the
1264 *) Only remove the SSLv2 methods with the no-ssl2-method option. When the
1265 methods are enabled and ssl2 is disabled the methods return NULL.
1268 Changes between 1.0.2f and 1.0.2g [1 Mar 2016]
1270 * Disable weak ciphers in SSLv3 and up in default builds of OpenSSL.
1271 Builds that are not configured with "enable-weak-ssl-ciphers" will not
1272 provide any "EXPORT" or "LOW" strength ciphers.
1275 * Disable SSLv2 default build, default negotiation and weak ciphers. SSLv2
1276 is by default disabled at build-time. Builds that are not configured with
1277 "enable-ssl2" will not support SSLv2. Even if "enable-ssl2" is used,
1278 users who want to negotiate SSLv2 via the version-flexible SSLv23_method()
1279 will need to explicitly call either of:
1281 SSL_CTX_clear_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1283 SSL_clear_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2);
1285 as appropriate. Even if either of those is used, or the application
1286 explicitly uses the version-specific SSLv2_method() or its client and
1287 server variants, SSLv2 ciphers vulnerable to exhaustive search key
1288 recovery have been removed. Specifically, the SSLv2 40-bit EXPORT
1289 ciphers, and SSLv2 56-bit DES are no longer available.
1293 *) Fix a double-free in DSA code
1295 A double free bug was discovered when OpenSSL parses malformed DSA private
1296 keys and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption for applications
1297 that receive DSA private keys from untrusted sources. This scenario is
1300 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley(Google/BoringSSL) using
1305 *) Disable SRP fake user seed to address a server memory leak.
1307 Add a new method SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user that handles the seed properly.
1309 SRP_VBASE_get_by_user had inconsistent memory management behaviour.
1310 In order to fix an unavoidable memory leak, SRP_VBASE_get_by_user
1311 was changed to ignore the "fake user" SRP seed, even if the seed
1314 Users should use SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user instead. Note that in
1315 SRP_VBASE_get1_by_user, caller must free the returned value. Note
1316 also that even though configuring the SRP seed attempts to hide
1317 invalid usernames by continuing the handshake with fake
1318 credentials, this behaviour is not constant time and no strong
1319 guarantees are made that the handshake is indistinguishable from
1320 that of a valid user.
1324 *) Fix BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn NULL pointer deref/heap corruption
1326 In the BN_hex2bn function the number of hex digits is calculated using an
1327 int value |i|. Later |bn_expand| is called with a value of |i * 4|. For
1328 large values of |i| this can result in |bn_expand| not allocating any
1329 memory because |i * 4| is negative. This can leave the internal BIGNUM data
1330 field as NULL leading to a subsequent NULL ptr deref. For very large values
1331 of |i|, the calculation |i * 4| could be a positive value smaller than |i|.
1332 In this case memory is allocated to the internal BIGNUM data field, but it
1333 is insufficiently sized leading to heap corruption. A similar issue exists
1334 in BN_dec2bn. This could have security consequences if BN_hex2bn/BN_dec2bn
1335 is ever called by user applications with very large untrusted hex/dec data.
1336 This is anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
1338 All OpenSSL internal usage of these functions use data that is not expected
1339 to be untrusted, e.g. config file data or application command line
1340 arguments. If user developed applications generate config file data based
1341 on untrusted data then it is possible that this could also lead to security
1342 consequences. This is also anticipated to be rare.
1344 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Guido Vranken.
1348 *) Fix memory issues in BIO_*printf functions
1350 The internal |fmtstr| function used in processing a "%s" format string in
1351 the BIO_*printf functions could overflow while calculating the length of a
1352 string and cause an OOB read when printing very long strings.
1354 Additionally the internal |doapr_outch| function can attempt to write to an
1355 OOB memory location (at an offset from the NULL pointer) in the event of a
1356 memory allocation failure. In 1.0.2 and below this could be caused where
1357 the size of a buffer to be allocated is greater than INT_MAX. E.g. this
1358 could be in processing a very long "%s" format string. Memory leaks can
1361 The first issue may mask the second issue dependent on compiler behaviour.
1362 These problems could enable attacks where large amounts of untrusted data
1363 is passed to the BIO_*printf functions. If applications use these functions
1364 in this way then they could be vulnerable. OpenSSL itself uses these
1365 functions when printing out human-readable dumps of ASN.1 data. Therefore
1366 applications that print this data could be vulnerable if the data is from
1367 untrusted sources. OpenSSL command line applications could also be
1368 vulnerable where they print out ASN.1 data, or if untrusted data is passed
1369 as command line arguments.
1371 Libssl is not considered directly vulnerable. Additionally certificates etc
1372 received via remote connections via libssl are also unlikely to be able to
1373 trigger these issues because of message size limits enforced within libssl.
1375 This issue was reported to OpenSSL Guido Vranken.
1379 *) Side channel attack on modular exponentiation
1381 A side-channel attack was found which makes use of cache-bank conflicts on
1382 the Intel Sandy-Bridge microarchitecture which could lead to the recovery
1383 of RSA keys. The ability to exploit this issue is limited as it relies on
1384 an attacker who has control of code in a thread running on the same
1385 hyper-threaded core as the victim thread which is performing decryptions.
1387 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Yuval Yarom, The University of
1388 Adelaide and NICTA, Daniel Genkin, Technion and Tel Aviv University, and
1389 Nadia Heninger, University of Pennsylvania with more information at
1390 http://cachebleed.info.
1394 *) Change the req app to generate a 2048-bit RSA/DSA key by default,
1395 if no keysize is specified with default_bits. This fixes an
1396 omission in an earlier change that changed all RSA/DSA key generation
1397 apps to use 2048 bits by default.
1400 Changes between 1.0.2e and 1.0.2f [28 Jan 2016]
1401 *) DH small subgroups
1403 Historically OpenSSL only ever generated DH parameters based on "safe"
1404 primes. More recently (in version 1.0.2) support was provided for
1405 generating X9.42 style parameter files such as those required for RFC 5114
1406 support. The primes used in such files may not be "safe". Where an
1407 application is using DH configured with parameters based on primes that are
1408 not "safe" then an attacker could use this fact to find a peer's private
1409 DH exponent. This attack requires that the attacker complete multiple
1410 handshakes in which the peer uses the same private DH exponent. For example
1411 this could be used to discover a TLS server's private DH exponent if it's
1412 reusing the private DH exponent or it's using a static DH ciphersuite.
1414 OpenSSL provides the option SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE for ephemeral DH (DHE) in
1415 TLS. It is not on by default. If the option is not set then the server
1416 reuses the same private DH exponent for the life of the server process and
1417 would be vulnerable to this attack. It is believed that many popular
1418 applications do set this option and would therefore not be at risk.
1420 The fix for this issue adds an additional check where a "q" parameter is
1421 available (as is the case in X9.42 based parameters). This detects the
1422 only known attack, and is the only possible defense for static DH
1423 ciphersuites. This could have some performance impact.
1425 Additionally the SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE option has been switched on by
1426 default and cannot be disabled. This could have some performance impact.
1428 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Antonio Sanso (Adobe).
1432 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
1434 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
1435 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
1436 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
1439 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
1440 and Sebastian Schinzel.
1444 Changes between 1.0.2d and 1.0.2e [3 Dec 2015]
1446 *) BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on x86_64
1448 There is a carry propagating bug in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring
1449 procedure. No EC algorithms are affected. Analysis suggests that attacks
1450 against RSA and DSA as a result of this defect would be very difficult to
1451 perform and are not believed likely. Attacks against DH are considered just
1452 feasible (although very difficult) because most of the work necessary to
1453 deduce information about a private key may be performed offline. The amount
1454 of resources required for such an attack would be very significant and
1455 likely only accessible to a limited number of attackers. An attacker would
1456 additionally need online access to an unpatched system using the target
1457 private key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a private
1458 key that is shared between multiple clients. For example this can occur by
1459 default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS ciphersuites.
1461 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Hanno Böck.
1465 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
1467 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1468 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1469 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
1470 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
1471 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
1472 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
1473 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
1476 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
1480 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
1482 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
1483 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
1484 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
1485 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
1487 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
1492 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
1493 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
1494 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
1495 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
1498 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
1500 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
1502 Changes between 1.0.2c and 1.0.2d [9 Jul 2015]
1504 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
1506 During certificate verification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
1507 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
1508 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
1509 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
1510 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
1511 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
1513 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
1517 Changes between 1.0.2b and 1.0.2c [12 Jun 2015]
1519 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
1520 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
1524 Changes between 1.0.2a and 1.0.2b [11 Jun 2015]
1526 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
1528 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
1529 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
1532 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
1533 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
1534 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
1535 client authentication enabled.
1537 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
1541 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
1543 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
1544 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
1545 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
1548 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
1549 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
1550 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
1551 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
1552 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
1555 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
1556 independently by Hanno Böck.
1560 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
1562 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
1563 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
1564 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1566 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
1567 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
1568 servers are not affected.
1570 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1574 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
1576 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
1577 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
1578 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
1580 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
1584 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
1586 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
1587 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
1588 a double free of the ticket data.
1592 *) Only support 256-bit or stronger elliptic curves with the
1593 'ecdh_auto' setting (server) or by default (client). Of supported
1594 curves, prefer P-256 (both).
1597 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a [19 Mar 2015]
1599 *) ClientHello sigalgs DoS fix
1601 If a client connects to an OpenSSL 1.0.2 server and renegotiates with an
1602 invalid signature algorithms extension a NULL pointer dereference will
1603 occur. This can be exploited in a DoS attack against the server.
1605 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by David Ramos of Stanford
1608 [Stephen Henson and Matt Caswell]
1610 *) Multiblock corrupted pointer fix
1612 OpenSSL 1.0.2 introduced the "multiblock" performance improvement. This
1613 feature only applies on 64 bit x86 architecture platforms that support AES
1614 NI instructions. A defect in the implementation of "multiblock" can cause
1615 OpenSSL's internal write buffer to become incorrectly set to NULL when
1616 using non-blocking IO. Typically, when the user application is using a
1617 socket BIO for writing, this will only result in a failed connection.
1618 However if some other BIO is used then it is likely that a segmentation
1619 fault will be triggered, thus enabling a potential DoS attack.
1621 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Daniel Danner and Rainer Mueller.
1625 *) Segmentation fault in DTLSv1_listen fix
1627 The DTLSv1_listen function is intended to be stateless and processes the
1628 initial ClientHello from many peers. It is common for user code to loop
1629 over the call to DTLSv1_listen until a valid ClientHello is received with
1630 an associated cookie. A defect in the implementation of DTLSv1_listen means
1631 that state is preserved in the SSL object from one invocation to the next
1632 that can lead to a segmentation fault. Errors processing the initial
1633 ClientHello can trigger this scenario. An example of such an error could be
1634 that a DTLS1.0 only client is attempting to connect to a DTLS1.2 only
1637 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Per Allansson.
1641 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
1643 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
1644 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
1645 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
1646 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1647 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1648 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1652 *) Segmentation fault for invalid PSS parameters fix
1654 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
1655 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
1656 algorithm and invalid parameters. Since these routines are used to verify
1657 certificate signature algorithms this can be used to crash any
1658 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
1659 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
1660 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
1662 This issue was was reported to OpenSSL by Brian Carpenter.
1666 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
1668 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
1669 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
1670 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
1672 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
1673 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
1674 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
1679 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
1681 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
1682 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
1683 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
1685 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
1686 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
1687 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
1689 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
1693 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
1695 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
1696 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
1697 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
1699 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
1700 (OpenSSL development team).
1704 *) Empty CKE with client auth and DHE fix
1706 If client auth is used then a server can seg fault in the event of a DHE
1707 ciphersuite being selected and a zero length ClientKeyExchange message
1708 being sent by the client. This could be exploited in a DoS attack.
1712 *) Handshake with unseeded PRNG fix
1714 Under certain conditions an OpenSSL 1.0.2 client can complete a handshake
1715 with an unseeded PRNG. The conditions are:
1716 - The client is on a platform where the PRNG has not been seeded
1717 automatically, and the user has not seeded manually
1718 - A protocol specific client method version has been used (i.e. not
1719 SSL_client_methodv23)
1720 - A ciphersuite is used that does not require additional random data from
1721 the PRNG beyond the initial ClientHello client random (e.g. PSK-RC4-SHA).
1723 If the handshake succeeds then the client random that has been used will
1724 have been generated from a PRNG with insufficient entropy and therefore the
1725 output may be predictable.
1727 For example using the following command with an unseeded openssl will
1728 succeed on an unpatched platform:
1730 openssl s_client -psk 1a2b3c4d -tls1_2 -cipher PSK-RC4-SHA
1734 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
1736 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
1737 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
1738 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
1739 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
1740 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
1741 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
1743 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
1748 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
1750 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
1751 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
1753 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
1757 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
1760 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.2 [22 Jan 2015]
1762 *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.
1763 ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.
1764 So far those who have to target multiple platforms would compromise
1765 and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on
1766 ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing
1767 near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.
1770 *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64
1771 (other platforms pending).
1772 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp), Andy Polyakov]
1774 *) Add support for the SignedCertificateTimestampList certificate and
1775 OCSP response extensions from RFC6962.
1778 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
1779 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
1780 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
1783 *) Initial support for PowerISA 2.0.7, first implemented in POWER8.
1784 This covers AES, SHA256/512 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most
1785 common cases are optimized and there still is room for further
1786 improvements. Vector Permutation AES for Altivec is also added.
1789 *) Add support for little-endian ppc64 Linux target.
1790 [Marcelo Cerri (IBM)]
1792 *) Initial support for AMRv8 ISA crypto extensions. This covers AES,
1793 SHA1, SHA256 and GHASH. "Initial" means that most common cases
1794 are optimized and there still is room for further improvements.
1795 Both 32- and 64-bit modes are supported.
1796 [Andy Polyakov, Ard Biesheuvel (Linaro)]
1798 *) Improved ARMv7 NEON support.
1801 *) Support for SPARC Architecture 2011 crypto extensions, first
1802 implemented in SPARC T4. This covers AES, DES, Camellia, SHA1,
1803 SHA256/512, MD5, GHASH and modular exponentiation.
1804 [Andy Polyakov, David Miller]
1806 *) Accelerated modular exponentiation for Intel processors, a.k.a.
1808 [Shay Gueron & Vlad Krasnov (Intel Corp)]
1810 *) Support for new and upcoming Intel processors, including AVX2,
1811 BMI and SHA ISA extensions. This includes additional "stitched"
1812 implementations, AESNI-SHA256 and GCM, and multi-buffer support
1815 This work was sponsored by Intel Corp.
1818 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
1819 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
1820 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
1823 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
1824 this fixes a limitation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
1827 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
1828 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
1831 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
1832 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
1833 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
1834 algorithms and include tests cases.
1837 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
1839 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
1841 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
1842 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
1845 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
1846 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
1847 summary of the connection parameters.
1850 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
1851 of connection parameters.
1854 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
1855 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
1857 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
1858 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
1861 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
1864 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
1865 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
1868 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
1869 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
1872 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
1876 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
1877 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
1878 CRLs using the OCSP API.
1881 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
1884 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
1885 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
1888 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
1889 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
1890 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
1894 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
1895 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
1898 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
1902 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
1906 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
1907 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
1908 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
1909 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
1912 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
1913 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
1916 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
1917 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
1918 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
1922 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
1923 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
1924 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
1925 use the certificate.
1928 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
1931 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
1932 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
1933 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distinct stores for certificate chain
1934 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
1935 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returning
1936 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
1937 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
1939 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
1940 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
1944 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
1945 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
1946 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
1949 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
1950 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
1951 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
1952 supported signature algorithms.
1955 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
1958 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
1959 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
1960 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
1961 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
1962 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
1963 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
1964 certificate and specify the whole chain.
1967 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
1968 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
1969 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
1970 to have similar checks in it.
1972 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
1973 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
1974 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
1975 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
1976 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
1979 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
1980 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
1981 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
1982 shared signature algorithms.
1985 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
1986 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
1990 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
1991 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
1992 it couldn't be removed.
1995 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
1996 verification. New verify options supporting checking in openssl utility.
1999 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
2000 functions. Add manual page.
2001 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
2003 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
2004 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
2008 *) Fix OCSP checking.
2009 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
2011 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
2012 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
2013 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
2014 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
2018 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
2019 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
2022 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
2023 platform support for Linux and Android.
2026 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
2029 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
2030 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
2031 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
2032 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
2033 (often lower performance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
2036 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
2037 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
2038 the new parameter format automatically.
2041 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
2042 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
2045 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
2048 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
2049 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
2050 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
2051 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
2052 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
2055 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
2056 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
2057 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
2058 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
2059 to set list of supported curves.
2062 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
2063 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
2064 to print out received values.
2067 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
2068 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
2069 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
2072 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
2073 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
2076 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
2077 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
2080 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
2084 *) New function i2d_re_X509_tbs for re-encoding the TBS portion of
2086 Note: Related 1.0.2-beta specific macros X509_get_cert_info,
2087 X509_CINF_set_modified, X509_CINF_get_issuer, X509_CINF_get_extensions and
2088 X509_CINF_get_signature were reverted post internal team review.
2090 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
2092 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
2093 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
2095 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
2097 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
2098 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
2099 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
2100 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
2104 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
2105 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
2106 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
2107 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
2108 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
2109 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
2113 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
2114 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
2115 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
2116 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
2120 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
2123 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
2124 reporting this issue.
2128 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
2129 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
2130 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
2131 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
2132 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
2133 INRIA or reporting this issue.
2137 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
2138 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
2139 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
2140 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
2141 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
2142 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
2143 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
2148 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
2149 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
2151 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
2152 and can vary with the CTX.
2155 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
2157 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
2158 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
2159 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
2160 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
2161 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
2163 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
2165 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
2166 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
2168 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
2170 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
2171 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
2172 errors for some broken certificates.
2174 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
2176 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
2178 Re-encode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
2179 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
2181 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
2182 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
2183 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
2184 (negative or with leading zeroes).
2186 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
2187 of the OpenSSL core team.
2192 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
2193 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
2194 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
2195 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
2196 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
2197 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
2198 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
2199 the OpenSSL core team.
2203 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
2204 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
2205 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
2206 sanity and breaks all known clients.
2207 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
2209 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
2210 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
2211 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
2214 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
2215 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
2216 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2217 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
2218 announced in the initial ServerHello.
2220 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
2221 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
2222 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
2225 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
2227 *) SRTP Memory Leak.
2229 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
2230 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
2231 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
2232 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
2233 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
2234 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
2235 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
2237 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
2241 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
2243 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
2244 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
2245 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
2246 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
2247 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
2252 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
2254 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
2255 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
2256 configured to send them.
2258 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
2260 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
2261 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
2262 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
2264 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2266 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
2268 Re-encode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
2269 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
2270 DigestInfo structures.
2272 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
2276 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
2278 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
2279 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
2280 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
2282 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
2283 Group for discovering this issue.
2287 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
2288 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
2289 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
2290 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
2291 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
2293 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
2294 researching this issue.
2298 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
2299 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
2300 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
2301 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
2303 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
2308 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
2309 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2310 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2314 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
2315 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
2316 Denial of Service attack.
2317 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
2321 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
2322 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
2323 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
2324 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
2329 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
2330 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
2331 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
2333 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
2338 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
2339 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
2340 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
2341 Denial of Service attack.
2343 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
2344 discovering and researching this issue.
2348 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
2349 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
2350 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
2351 output to the attacker.
2353 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
2355 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
2357 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
2358 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
2359 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
2362 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
2364 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
2365 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
2366 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
2368 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
2369 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
2370 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
2372 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
2373 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
2376 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
2378 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
2380 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
2381 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
2382 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
2383 code on a vulnerable client or server.
2385 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
2386 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
2388 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
2389 are subject to a denial of service attack.
2391 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
2392 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
2393 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
2395 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
2397 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2399 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
2400 in i2d_ECPrivateKey.
2401 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2403 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
2404 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
2406 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
2408 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
2409 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
2412 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
2413 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
2414 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
2415 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
2417 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
2418 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
2419 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
2420 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
2422 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
2423 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
2424 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
2426 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
2428 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
2429 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
2430 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
2431 is at least 512 bytes long.
2433 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
2435 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
2437 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
2438 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
2439 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
2442 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
2443 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
2444 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
2447 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
2448 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
2449 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
2450 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
2451 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
2452 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
2453 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
2455 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
2457 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
2458 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
2459 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2461 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
2463 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2465 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2466 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2467 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2469 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2470 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2471 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2472 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2474 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2476 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
2477 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
2478 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
2479 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
2480 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
2484 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2485 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2488 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
2489 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2491 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2492 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2493 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
2494 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
2495 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
2497 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2500 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
2504 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
2506 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
2507 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
2509 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2510 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2514 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2515 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2518 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
2522 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
2524 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
2525 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
2526 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
2527 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
2528 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
2529 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
2530 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
2531 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
2532 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
2533 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
2536 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
2537 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
2538 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
2539 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
2540 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
2541 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
2545 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
2547 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2548 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2549 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
2551 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
2552 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2554 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2556 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
2559 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
2560 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
2562 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
2563 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
2564 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
2565 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
2566 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
2567 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
2568 Most broken servers should now work.
2569 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
2570 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
2573 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
2576 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
2578 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
2579 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
2582 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
2583 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
2584 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
2585 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
2586 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
2589 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
2590 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
2591 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum permitted
2592 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
2593 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
2596 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
2597 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2599 *) Add support for SCTP.
2600 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2602 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2603 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2605 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
2607 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
2608 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
2609 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
2610 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
2611 - s390x: z196 support;
2612 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
2616 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
2617 (removal of unnecessary code)
2618 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
2620 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
2623 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
2626 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
2627 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
2628 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
2630 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
2632 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
2633 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
2634 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
2635 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
2636 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
2638 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
2639 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
2640 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
2642 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
2643 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
2644 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
2646 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
2647 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
2649 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2651 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
2652 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
2653 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
2656 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
2657 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
2661 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
2662 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
2663 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
2666 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
2667 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
2668 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
2669 the appropriate parameters.
2672 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
2673 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
2674 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
2675 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
2676 against a number of sample certificates.
2679 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
2680 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
2682 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
2683 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
2685 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
2686 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
2690 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
2694 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
2695 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
2696 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
2697 password based CMS).
2700 *) Session-handling fixes:
2701 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
2702 but also support Session Tickets.
2703 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
2704 presented a ticket with an expired session.
2705 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
2706 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
2707 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
2708 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2710 *) Fix PSK session representation.
2713 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
2715 This work was sponsored by Intel.
2718 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
2719 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
2720 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
2721 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to include GCM and
2722 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
2725 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
2726 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
2729 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
2730 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
2731 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
2734 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
2735 as unset and return the appropriate default but do *not* set the default.
2736 This means we can return the appropriate method in applications that
2737 switch between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
2740 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
2741 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
2742 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
2745 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
2746 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
2748 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
2751 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
2752 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
2755 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
2758 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
2759 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
2762 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
2763 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
2766 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
2769 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
2770 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
2771 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
2774 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2777 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
2780 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
2781 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
2784 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
2785 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
2786 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
2789 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
2792 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
2796 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
2797 FIPS modules versions.
2800 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
2801 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
2802 until after the certificate request message is received.
2805 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
2806 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
2807 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
2808 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
2811 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
2812 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
2813 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
2814 support yet and no support for client certificates.
2817 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
2818 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
2819 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
2820 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
2821 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
2822 and version checking.
2825 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
2826 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
2827 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
2828 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
2832 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2834 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
2837 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
2838 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
2839 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
2841 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
2842 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
2843 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
2846 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
2847 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
2849 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
2850 a few changes are required:
2852 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
2853 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
2854 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
2855 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
2856 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
2859 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
2861 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2862 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2863 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2864 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2865 old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
2866 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2867 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2868 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2869 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2872 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2873 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2874 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2877 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
2879 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2880 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2881 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2882 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2885 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
2887 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2888 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2889 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2890 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2891 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2892 paper describing this attack can be found at:
2893 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
2894 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2895 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2896 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
2897 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
2898 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2899 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2901 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
2903 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2905 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
2906 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
2907 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
2908 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2910 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
2911 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
2913 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2914 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2915 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
2916 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2918 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
2919 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
2921 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2922 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2924 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2925 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2927 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2928 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2929 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2931 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2932 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2933 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2935 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2936 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2937 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2938 the last update always remained unused).
2939 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2941 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
2942 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
2944 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
2946 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
2947 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
2948 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
2950 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2951 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
2952 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2954 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2957 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
2958 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
2959 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
2962 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
2963 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
2965 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
2967 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
2969 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
2971 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
2972 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2974 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
2975 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2979 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
2981 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2982 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2983 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2986 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2987 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2988 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2991 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
2993 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2994 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2995 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2998 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
3002 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
3004 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
3006 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
3008 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
3010 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
3011 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
3012 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
3015 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
3018 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
3019 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
3020 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
3022 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
3023 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
3024 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
3027 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
3028 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
3031 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
3032 some responders need this.
3035 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
3037 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3039 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
3040 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
3041 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
3044 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
3047 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
3048 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
3049 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
3050 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
3051 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
3052 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
3053 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
3054 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
3057 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
3058 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
3059 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
3060 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3062 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
3063 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
3065 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
3069 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
3070 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
3071 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
3072 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
3073 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
3074 attempting to work them out.
3077 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
3078 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
3079 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
3080 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
3083 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
3084 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
3085 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
3086 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
3087 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
3090 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
3091 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
3098 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
3100 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
3104 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
3105 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3107 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
3108 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
3110 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
3111 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
3112 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
3113 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
3114 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
3117 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
3118 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
3119 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
3122 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
3123 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
3126 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
3127 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
3129 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
3130 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
3133 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
3136 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
3137 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
3138 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
3142 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
3143 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
3144 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
3145 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
3146 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
3147 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
3150 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
3151 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
3153 This work was sponsored by Google.
3156 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
3157 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
3158 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
3159 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
3160 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
3161 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications won't
3162 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
3165 This work was sponsored by Google.
3168 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
3170 This work was sponsored by Google.
3173 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
3174 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
3175 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
3176 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
3178 This work was sponsored by Google.
3181 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
3182 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
3183 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
3184 CRL functionality in future.
3186 This work was sponsored by Google.
3189 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
3191 This work was sponsored by Google.
3194 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
3195 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
3197 This work was sponsored by Google.
3200 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
3201 and URI types are currently supported.
3203 This work was sponsored by Google.
3206 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
3207 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
3208 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
3209 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
3210 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
3211 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
3212 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
3213 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
3215 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
3216 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
3217 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
3219 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
3220 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
3221 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
3222 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
3224 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
3225 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
3226 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
3227 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
3228 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
3229 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
3230 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
3231 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
3233 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
3235 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
3236 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
3237 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
3239 This work was sponsored by Google.
3242 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
3245 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3246 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
3247 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
3250 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
3251 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
3254 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
3255 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
3258 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
3259 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
3260 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
3261 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
3262 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
3263 content types and variants.
3266 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
3269 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
3270 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
3271 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
3272 files from the associated perl scripts.
3275 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
3276 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
3277 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3279 *) s390x assembler pack.
3282 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
3286 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
3287 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
3288 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
3289 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
3290 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
3291 to use. For example, specify an option
3293 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
3295 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
3296 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
3297 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
3298 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
3299 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
3300 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
3302 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
3303 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
3304 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
3305 return non-zero for success.
3307 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
3310 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
3311 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3315 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
3318 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
3319 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
3320 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
3321 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
3322 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
3323 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
3324 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
3325 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
3326 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
3328 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
3329 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
3330 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
3331 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
3332 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
3333 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
3335 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
3336 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
3337 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
3338 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
3339 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
3340 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
3344 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
3347 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
3349 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
3350 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
3351 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
3354 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
3355 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
3358 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
3359 protection in servers so again support should be possible
3360 with no application modification.
3362 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
3363 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
3365 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
3366 or server extensions to be examined.
3368 This work was sponsored by Google.
3371 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
3372 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
3373 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
3375 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
3376 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
3377 ciphersuite support.
3378 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
3380 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
3381 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
3382 to output in BER and PEM format.
3385 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
3386 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
3387 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
3388 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
3389 -macopt options to dgst utility.
3392 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
3393 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
3394 alternative signing parameters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
3398 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
3399 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
3400 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
3401 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
3402 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
3403 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
3404 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
3405 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
3408 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
3409 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
3410 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
3411 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
3413 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
3414 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
3415 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
3419 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
3420 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
3421 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
3422 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
3423 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
3424 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
3425 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
3426 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
3427 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
3429 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
3430 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
3431 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
3432 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
3433 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
3434 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
3435 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
3436 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
3437 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
3438 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
3439 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
3442 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
3443 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
3444 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
3446 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
3447 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
3451 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
3452 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
3453 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
3456 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
3457 it yet and it is largely untested.
3460 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
3463 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
3464 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
3465 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
3468 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
3471 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
3472 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
3473 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
3474 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
3477 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
3478 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
3479 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
3480 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
3481 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
3484 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
3485 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
3488 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
3489 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
3490 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
3491 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
3494 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
3495 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
3496 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
3497 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
3500 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
3501 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
3504 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
3505 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
3506 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
3507 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
3510 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
3511 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
3512 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
3515 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
3519 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
3520 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
3523 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
3524 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
3525 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
3529 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
3530 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
3531 to free up any added signature OIDs.
3534 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
3535 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
3536 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
3537 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
3540 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
3541 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
3542 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
3543 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
3544 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
3545 the array representation useful in a more general context.
3548 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
3549 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
3550 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
3551 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
3552 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
3554 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
3555 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
3556 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
3557 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
3558 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
3561 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
3562 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
3563 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
3564 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
3566 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
3567 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
3568 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
3569 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
3570 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
3576 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
3577 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
3581 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
3582 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
3585 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
3586 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
3589 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
3590 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
3591 functional reference processing.
3594 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
3595 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
3599 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
3600 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
3601 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
3604 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
3605 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
3606 application to support multiple signers.
3609 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
3613 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
3614 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
3615 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
3616 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
3617 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
3620 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
3624 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
3625 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
3626 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
3627 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
3631 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
3632 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
3633 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
3634 return value indicates how strong the preference is 1 means optional and
3635 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
3636 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
3637 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
3638 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
3641 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
3642 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
3643 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
3644 between digests and public key types.
3647 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
3648 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
3649 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
3650 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
3653 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
3654 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
3658 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
3661 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
3665 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
3666 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
3667 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
3668 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
3673 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3675 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
3677 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
3679 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analogous to "genrsa" etc except it can
3680 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
3681 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
3682 functionality for RSA.
3685 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
3686 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
3687 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
3690 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
3691 key API, doesn't do much yet.
3694 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
3695 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
3696 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
3699 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
3700 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3703 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
3704 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
3707 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
3708 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
3712 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
3713 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
3714 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
3718 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
3719 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
3720 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
3721 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
3722 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
3723 of public and private key structures.
3726 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
3727 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
3730 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
3731 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
3732 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
3735 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
3739 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
3740 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
3741 SSL_get_psk_identity
3742 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
3744 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
3746 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
3747 and response verification functionality.
3748 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
3750 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
3751 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
3752 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
3753 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
3754 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
3755 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
3756 server_name extension.
3758 New functions (subject to change):
3760 SSL_get_servername()
3761 SSL_get_servername_type()
3764 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
3766 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
3767 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
3768 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
3769 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
3770 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
3772 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
3774 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
3775 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
3776 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
3777 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
3778 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
3779 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
3782 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
3784 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
3787 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
3788 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
3789 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
3790 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
3791 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
3794 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
3795 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
3799 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
3800 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
3801 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
3802 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
3805 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
3806 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
3807 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
3808 using the maximum available value.
3811 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
3812 in addition to the text details.
3815 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
3816 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
3817 handle several customised structures at all.
3820 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
3821 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
3822 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
3825 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
3828 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
3829 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
3830 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
3833 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
3834 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
3835 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
3838 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
3839 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
3843 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
3846 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
3849 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
3851 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
3852 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
3853 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
3854 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
3855 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
3856 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
3857 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
3858 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
3860 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
3861 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
3862 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
3864 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
3866 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
3867 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
3869 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
3870 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
3873 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
3874 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
3875 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
3878 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
3879 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
3880 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
3881 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
3882 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
3883 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
3886 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
3887 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
3888 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
3891 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
3892 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
3893 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
3894 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
3895 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
3896 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
3900 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
3901 change when encrypting or decrypting.
3904 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
3905 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
3906 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
3909 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
3912 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
3913 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
3914 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
3915 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
3916 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
3917 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
3918 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
3919 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
3920 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
3923 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
3924 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
3925 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
3928 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
3929 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
3932 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
3933 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
3934 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
3935 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
3936 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
3937 know what you are doing.
3938 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
3940 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
3941 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
3942 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
3943 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
3944 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
3945 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
3949 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
3950 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
3951 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
3953 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
3955 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
3956 warnings in other configurations.
3959 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
3960 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
3961 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
3963 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
3965 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
3966 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
3967 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
3969 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
3970 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
3971 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
3972 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
3975 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
3979 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
3980 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
3982 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
3984 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
3985 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
3986 other than a simple chain.
3987 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
3989 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
3990 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
3991 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
3992 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
3995 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
3996 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
3997 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
3998 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
3999 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
4000 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
4001 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
4002 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
4003 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4005 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
4006 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
4007 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
4008 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
4009 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to determine
4010 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
4012 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
4014 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
4015 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
4018 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
4019 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
4022 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
4024 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
4026 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
4027 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
4028 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
4029 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
4030 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
4034 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
4036 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
4037 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
4038 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
4039 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
4041 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
4042 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
4043 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
4044 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4046 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
4047 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
4048 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
4051 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
4052 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
4056 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
4057 to handle some structures.
4060 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
4062 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
4064 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
4067 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
4070 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
4073 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
4074 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
4078 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
4080 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
4082 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
4084 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
4087 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
4088 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
4089 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
4090 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
4092 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
4093 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
4095 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
4096 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
4099 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
4100 s_client and s_server.
4103 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
4104 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
4106 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
4107 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
4109 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
4110 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
4111 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
4112 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
4113 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
4116 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
4118 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
4119 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
4122 *) Fix a state transition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
4123 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
4126 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
4127 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
4128 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
4129 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
4131 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
4132 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
4134 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
4136 *) Various precautionary measures:
4138 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
4140 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
4141 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
4142 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
4144 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
4145 outside the expected range.
4147 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
4150 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
4152 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
4153 the load fails. Useful for distros.
4154 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
4156 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
4159 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
4162 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
4164 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4167 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
4168 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
4169 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
4171 This work was sponsored by Logica.
4174 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: don't set attribute using
4175 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
4176 attribute creation routines such as certificate requests and PKCS#12
4180 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
4182 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
4183 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
4184 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
4185 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
4187 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
4188 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
4191 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
4193 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
4194 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
4195 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
4197 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
4199 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
4200 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
4201 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
4202 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
4205 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
4206 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
4207 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
4208 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
4209 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
4210 invalid read after the end of 'db').
4211 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
4213 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
4215 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
4216 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
4217 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
4218 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
4219 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
4221 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
4222 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
4224 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
4225 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
4226 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
4227 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
4228 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
4230 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
4232 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
4233 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
4234 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
4235 sets may exist with different names.
4238 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
4239 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
4240 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
4241 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
4242 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
4243 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
4244 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
4245 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
4246 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
4248 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
4250 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
4251 implementation in the following ways:
4253 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
4256 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
4257 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
4258 ignored for embedded content.
4260 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
4261 with the enable-cms configuration option.
4264 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
4265 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
4266 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
4267 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
4269 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
4270 uncompresses any data passed through it.
4273 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
4274 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
4277 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
4278 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
4279 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
4280 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
4281 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
4282 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
4286 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
4287 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
4288 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
4292 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
4293 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
4294 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
4295 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
4296 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
4297 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
4298 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
4299 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
4301 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
4302 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
4303 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
4304 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
4305 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
4306 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
4307 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
4309 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
4310 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
4311 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
4312 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
4313 to s_client and s_server.
4316 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
4318 *) Fix various bugs:
4319 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
4320 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
4321 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
4322 + Fix ia64 assembler code
4323 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
4325 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
4327 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
4328 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
4329 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
4330 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
4331 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
4332 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
4333 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
4334 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
4337 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
4338 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
4339 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
4342 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
4343 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
4344 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
4347 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
4348 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
4351 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
4352 protection in servers so again support should be possible
4353 with no application modification.
4355 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
4356 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
4358 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
4359 or server extensions to be examined.
4361 This work was sponsored by Google.
4364 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
4365 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
4366 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
4367 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
4368 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
4369 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
4370 server_name extension.
4372 New functions (subject to change):
4374 SSL_get_servername()
4375 SSL_get_servername_type()
4378 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
4380 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
4381 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
4382 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
4383 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
4384 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
4386 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
4388 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
4389 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
4390 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
4391 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
4392 negotiation). If the unrecognized_name alert has to be sent, this by
4393 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
4396 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
4398 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
4401 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
4404 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
4405 (which previously caused an internal error).
4408 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
4411 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
4412 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
4414 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
4415 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
4416 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
4418 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
4419 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
4420 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
4421 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
4423 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4424 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4425 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
4426 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
4428 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
4429 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
4430 information. For detailed background information, see
4431 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
4432 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
4433 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
4434 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
4435 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
4436 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
4437 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
4438 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
4439 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
4440 remove a conditional branch.
4442 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
4443 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
4444 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
4445 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
4446 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
4447 remains as a deprecated alias.
4449 Similarly, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
4450 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
4451 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
4452 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
4454 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
4455 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
4456 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
4457 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
4458 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
4459 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
4460 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
4461 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
4463 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
4465 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
4466 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
4467 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
4468 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
4469 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
4470 with applications using a single external cache for quite
4471 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
4472 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
4473 in a different context.
4476 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
4477 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
4478 authentication-only ciphersuites.
4481 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
4482 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
4483 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
4485 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
4487 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
4488 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
4489 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
4490 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
4491 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
4494 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
4495 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
4496 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
4497 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
4498 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
4499 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
4502 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
4503 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
4504 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
4505 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
4506 message has informed the client about his choice.)
4509 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
4510 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
4512 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
4513 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
4514 Improve header file function name parsing.
4517 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
4518 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
4521 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
4523 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
4524 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
4525 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4527 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
4528 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
4530 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
4531 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4533 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
4534 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
4535 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
4537 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
4538 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
4539 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
4540 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
4541 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
4542 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
4543 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
4544 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
4545 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
4547 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
4548 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
4549 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
4550 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
4551 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
4553 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
4554 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
4555 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
4556 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
4557 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
4558 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
4559 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
4560 multiple values to extend the available space.
4564 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
4566 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
4567 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
4569 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
4572 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
4573 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
4574 undesirable limitations.
4575 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
4577 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
4578 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
4579 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
4580 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
4581 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
4582 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
4583 to avoid potential handshake problems.
4586 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
4588 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
4589 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
4590 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
4592 The latter two were purportedly from
4593 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
4596 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
4597 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
4598 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
4601 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
4602 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
4605 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
4606 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
4607 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
4608 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
4610 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
4611 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
4612 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
4615 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
4616 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
4617 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
4618 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
4619 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
4620 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
4623 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
4625 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
4626 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
4629 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
4630 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
4632 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4633 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
4634 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
4635 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
4638 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
4639 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
4642 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
4643 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
4644 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
4645 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
4646 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
4647 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
4648 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
4652 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
4653 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
4654 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
4655 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
4658 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
4659 under VC++ build system.
4662 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
4663 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
4666 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
4668 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
4669 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
4670 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
4671 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
4672 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
4674 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
4675 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
4676 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
4678 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
4681 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
4682 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4685 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
4686 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
4688 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
4691 *) Extended Windows CE support.
4692 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
4694 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
4695 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
4698 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
4699 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
4703 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
4705 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
4708 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
4711 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
4712 key into the same file any more.
4715 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
4718 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
4719 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
4721 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
4722 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
4725 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
4726 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
4727 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
4728 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
4729 this only applies when building 'shared'.
4730 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
4732 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
4733 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
4734 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
4737 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
4738 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
4739 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
4740 - add new function for parameter creation
4741 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
4742 BN_BLINDING parameters
4743 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
4744 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
4745 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
4749 *) Add support for DTLS.
4750 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
4752 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
4753 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
4756 *) Remove buggy and incomplete DH cert support from
4757 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
4760 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
4761 the apps/openssl applications.
4764 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
4765 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
4766 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
4769 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
4770 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
4772 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
4773 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
4775 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
4776 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
4777 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
4778 avoid this algorithm.)
4782 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
4783 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
4784 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
4787 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
4788 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
4791 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
4792 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
4793 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
4796 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
4798 The blank line is mandatory.
4802 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
4803 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
4807 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
4808 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
4810 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
4811 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
4812 to support policy checking and print out.
4815 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
4816 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
4817 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
4818 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
4820 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
4823 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
4824 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
4826 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
4827 implementation contributed by IBM.
4828 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
4830 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
4831 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
4832 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
4833 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
4835 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
4836 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
4838 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
4839 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
4840 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
4841 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
4842 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
4843 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
4846 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
4847 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
4848 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
4849 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
4850 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
4851 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
4852 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
4855 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
4858 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
4859 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
4860 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
4861 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
4862 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
4863 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
4864 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
4865 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
4868 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
4869 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
4870 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
4871 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
4874 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
4877 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
4880 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
4881 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
4882 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
4883 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
4884 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
4885 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
4886 BN_CTX's "bundling".
4889 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
4890 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
4893 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
4894 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
4895 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
4898 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
4899 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
4900 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
4904 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
4905 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
4908 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
4909 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
4910 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
4911 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
4914 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
4915 initialised value as BN_new().
4916 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
4918 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
4921 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
4922 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
4923 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
4924 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
4925 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
4926 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
4927 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
4928 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
4929 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
4930 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
4931 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
4932 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
4933 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
4934 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
4935 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
4937 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
4938 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
4939 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
4940 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
4943 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
4944 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
4945 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
4946 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
4947 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
4948 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
4949 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
4950 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
4951 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
4954 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
4955 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
4956 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
4957 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
4958 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
4959 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
4960 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
4963 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
4964 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
4965 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
4966 these have been updated also.
4969 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
4970 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addition into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
4971 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
4972 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
4973 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
4977 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
4978 structure of type "other".
4981 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
4982 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
4983 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
4984 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
4985 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
4986 situation in the script.
4987 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4989 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
4990 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
4991 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
4992 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
4993 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
4994 used as premaster secret.
4995 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
4997 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
4998 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
4999 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5001 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
5002 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
5004 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
5005 control of the error stack.
5008 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
5011 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
5012 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
5013 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
5014 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
5017 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
5018 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
5019 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
5022 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
5023 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
5024 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
5028 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
5029 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
5030 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
5031 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
5034 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
5035 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
5036 the following flags are defined:
5038 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
5039 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5040 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
5043 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
5044 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
5045 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
5046 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
5050 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
5051 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
5052 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
5053 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
5054 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
5057 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
5058 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
5059 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
5062 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5063 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5064 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5065 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5066 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5067 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5070 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
5074 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
5077 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
5080 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
5083 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
5084 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
5085 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
5086 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
5087 default implementation more easily.
5090 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
5094 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
5095 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
5098 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
5099 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
5100 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
5101 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
5103 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
5104 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
5105 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
5106 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
5109 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
5110 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
5114 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
5115 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
5116 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
5117 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
5118 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
5119 scalar * generator).
5120 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
5122 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
5123 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
5124 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
5128 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
5129 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
5130 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
5131 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
5132 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
5133 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
5134 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
5135 linker additions, eg;
5136 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
5139 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
5140 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
5141 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
5144 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
5145 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
5146 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
5150 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
5151 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
5152 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
5153 also be overridden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
5156 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
5157 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
5158 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
5159 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
5160 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
5161 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
5162 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
5163 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
5164 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
5165 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
5167 Example for using the new callback interface:
5169 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
5173 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
5175 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
5176 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
5177 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
5178 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
5179 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
5180 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
5185 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
5186 available to TLS with the number defined in
5187 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
5190 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
5191 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
5193 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
5194 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5195 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
5196 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
5198 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
5199 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
5201 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
5202 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
5206 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
5207 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
5210 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
5211 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
5212 and a macro that behave like
5213 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
5215 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
5218 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
5219 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
5220 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
5222 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5224 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
5227 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
5228 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
5229 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
5230 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
5232 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
5233 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
5234 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
5235 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
5236 engines, but that can be overridden at configure time through
5237 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
5238 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
5239 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
5241 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
5242 libraries. Adapt Makefile.org.
5245 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
5246 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
5248 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
5249 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
5250 files while avoiding the low level API.
5252 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
5253 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
5254 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
5255 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
5257 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
5258 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
5259 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
5260 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
5261 instead of the low level API.
5264 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
5265 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
5266 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
5267 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
5268 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
5271 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
5272 down to the template encoder.
5275 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
5276 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
5279 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
5280 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
5281 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
5282 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5284 *) Add ECDH engine support.
5285 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5287 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
5288 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5290 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
5291 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
5294 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
5295 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
5296 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
5299 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
5300 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
5302 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5303 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5305 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
5306 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
5309 EC_GF2m_simple_method
5313 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
5314 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
5315 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
5316 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5317 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
5318 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
5320 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
5321 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
5324 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
5325 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
5326 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
5327 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
5328 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
5329 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
5330 various internal method names.)
5332 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
5333 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
5335 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5336 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5338 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
5339 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
5341 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
5342 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
5343 methods are undefined.
5345 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5346 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5348 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
5349 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
5350 length of the modulus.
5352 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5353 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5355 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
5356 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
5358 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5359 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5361 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
5362 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
5363 used) in the following functions [macros]:
5366 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
5367 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
5368 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
5369 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
5371 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
5372 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
5373 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
5374 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
5376 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
5377 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
5379 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
5380 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
5381 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
5382 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
5383 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
5385 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
5386 This applies to the following functions:
5391 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
5392 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
5394 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
5395 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
5399 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
5404 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
5406 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
5407 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
5408 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
5409 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
5410 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
5412 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
5413 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
5415 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
5416 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
5417 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
5419 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
5420 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
5422 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
5423 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
5424 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
5425 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
5426 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5428 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
5430 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
5431 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
5432 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
5433 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
5434 These control ASN1 encoding details:
5435 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
5436 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
5437 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
5438 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
5439 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
5440 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
5441 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
5443 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
5446 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
5447 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
5448 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
5449 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5451 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
5452 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
5453 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
5454 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5459 EC_POINT_point2hex()
5460 EC_POINT_hex2point()
5461 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
5462 EC_POINT_oct2point().
5463 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5465 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
5466 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
5467 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
5468 EC_GROUP_get_order()
5469 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
5470 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
5471 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
5472 adding different types of curves.
5473 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
5475 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
5476 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
5477 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
5480 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
5481 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
5483 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
5484 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
5485 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
5486 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5488 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
5490 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
5491 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
5493 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
5494 library. Most notably,
5495 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
5496 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
5497 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
5498 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
5499 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
5500 extracted before the specific public key;
5501 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
5502 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5504 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
5505 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
5507 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
5508 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
5509 EC_get_builtin_curves().
5510 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
5512 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
5513 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
5514 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
5516 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5517 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5518 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5519 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5520 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5521 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5525 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
5527 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
5529 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
5531 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
5532 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
5533 authentication-only ciphersuites.
5536 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
5537 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
5538 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
5541 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
5544 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
5545 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
5548 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
5549 run algorithm test programs.
5552 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
5555 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
5556 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
5557 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
5558 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
5559 message has informed the client about his choice.)
5562 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
5563 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
5566 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
5568 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
5569 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
5570 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5572 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
5573 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
5575 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
5576 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5578 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
5579 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
5580 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
5582 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
5583 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
5584 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
5585 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
5586 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
5587 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
5588 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
5591 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
5593 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
5594 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
5596 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
5597 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
5598 undesirable limitations.
5599 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5601 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
5603 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
5604 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
5605 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
5607 The latter two were purportedly from
5608 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
5611 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
5612 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
5613 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
5616 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occurred on
5617 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
5620 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
5622 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
5623 module in FIPS mode.
5626 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
5629 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
5630 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
5631 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
5632 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
5635 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
5637 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
5638 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
5639 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
5640 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
5641 the difference induced by this change.
5644 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
5646 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
5647 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
5648 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
5649 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
5650 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
5652 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
5653 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
5654 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
5656 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
5657 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
5660 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
5661 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
5662 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
5663 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
5667 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
5668 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
5669 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
5670 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
5671 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
5673 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
5674 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
5675 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
5676 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
5677 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
5678 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
5680 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
5682 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
5683 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
5684 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
5685 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
5686 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
5689 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
5693 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
5694 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
5695 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
5698 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
5699 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
5700 structures constant.
5703 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
5705 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
5708 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
5709 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
5710 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
5711 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
5712 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
5713 some needed definitions.
5716 *) Undo Cygwin change.
5719 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
5720 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
5721 they must be explicitly allowed in run-time. See
5722 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
5725 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
5727 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
5728 server and client random values. Previously
5729 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
5730 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
5732 This change has negligible security impact because:
5734 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
5737 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
5740 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
5741 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
5744 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
5747 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
5749 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
5752 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
5753 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
5754 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
5756 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
5759 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
5760 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
5763 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
5764 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
5765 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
5767 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
5770 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
5771 this is needed for some certificates that re-encode DNs into UTF8Strings
5772 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or won't issue name rollover
5776 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
5777 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
5778 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
5779 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
5781 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
5782 has chosen to ignore this fault)
5783 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
5784 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
5788 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
5790 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
5791 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
5792 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
5793 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
5794 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
5797 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
5800 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
5801 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
5803 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
5804 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
5805 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
5806 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
5807 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
5808 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
5809 rather than being initialized to 1.
5812 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
5814 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
5815 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
5816 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5818 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
5820 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
5822 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
5823 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
5824 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
5825 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
5826 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
5827 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
5830 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
5831 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
5832 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
5833 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
5834 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
5838 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
5839 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
5840 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
5841 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
5842 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
5845 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
5846 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
5847 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
5851 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
5852 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
5854 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
5857 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
5859 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
5861 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
5862 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
5864 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
5866 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
5867 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
5871 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
5872 exiting on the first error in a request.
5875 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
5876 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
5880 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
5881 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
5882 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
5883 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
5885 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
5886 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
5889 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
5890 blocks during encryption.
5893 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
5894 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
5895 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
5896 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
5900 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
5901 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
5902 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
5903 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
5904 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
5908 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
5910 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
5911 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
5912 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
5913 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
5916 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
5917 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
5918 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
5919 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
5920 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5922 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
5923 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
5924 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
5925 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
5926 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
5927 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
5928 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
5929 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
5930 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
5933 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
5934 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
5935 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
5936 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
5939 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
5940 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
5943 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
5945 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
5946 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrect
5947 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
5948 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
5949 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
5951 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
5952 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
5953 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
5955 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
5956 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
5957 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
5958 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
5959 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
5961 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
5962 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
5963 used by default when no-err is given.
5966 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
5967 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
5969 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
5970 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
5971 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
5972 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
5973 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
5975 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
5976 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
5977 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
5978 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
5980 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
5982 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5984 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
5986 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
5987 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
5988 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
5989 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
5993 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
5994 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
5996 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
5997 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
6000 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
6001 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
6002 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
6003 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
6006 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
6007 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
6008 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
6009 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
6010 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
6011 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
6012 followup to PR #377.
6015 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
6016 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
6019 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
6020 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
6021 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

6043 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
6044 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
6045 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
6046 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
6047 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
6048 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
6050 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
6051 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
6052 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
6053 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
6054 have to be made anyway).
6057 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
6058 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
6059 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
6062 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
6063 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
6064 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
6067 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
6068 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.

6108 representations in a platform independent manner.

6124 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6126 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
6127 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
6128 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6130 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
6132 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6134 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
6135 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6137 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
6138 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6140 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
6141 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6143 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
6144 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6146 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
6148 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6150 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
6151 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6153 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
6154 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6156 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
6157 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
6159 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6161 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
6162 the 0.9.6 release series:
6164 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6165 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
6167 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6169 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
6172 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
6173 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
6175 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
6176 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
6178 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
6179 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
6180 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
6181 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
6183 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
6184 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
6185 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
6187 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
6188 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
6189 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
6190 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6192 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
6193 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
6194 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
6197 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
6198 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
6199 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
6200 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6201 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
6202 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
6203 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
6204 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
6207 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
6208 is a good thing. If it isn't successful, don't worry about it,
6209 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
6212 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
6213 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
6214 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
6215 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
6216 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
6218 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
6219 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
6221 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
6222 error in AES-CFB decryption.
6225 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
6226 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
6227 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
6228 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
6229 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
6230 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
6233 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
6234 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
6235 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
6238 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
6239 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
6242 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
6243 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
6244 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
6245 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
6246 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
6247 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
6248 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
6251 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
6252 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
6253 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
6254 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
6255 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
6256 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
6259 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
6260 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
6261 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
6262 declaration has been changed from
6265 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
6266 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
6267 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
6268 has been changed into
6269 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
6271 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
6272 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
6273 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
6275 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
6276 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
6278 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
6279 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
6280 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
6281 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
6282 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
6283 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
6284 always load it have also been added.
6287 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
6288 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
6289 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6291 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
6293 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
6294 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
6295 because it couldn't be used for anything.
6297 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
6298 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
6299 command line option can be used to specify an
6303 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
6304 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
6307 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
6308 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
6309 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
6312 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
6313 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6314 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
6315 to work with the new engine framework.
6316 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
6318 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
6319 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6320 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
6321 to work with the new engine framework.
6324 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
6325 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
6326 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
6328 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
6329 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
6331 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
6332 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
6333 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
6334 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
6336 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6338 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6339 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6341 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
6342 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
6344 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
6345 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
6346 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
6349 *) Add new functions
6351 ERR_peek_last_error_line
6352 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
6353 These are similar to
6356 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
6357 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
6358 still in the error queue.
6359 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
6361 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
6363 default_algorithms = ALL
6364 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
6367 *) Preliminary ENGINE config module.
6370 *) New experimental application configuration code.
6373 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
6374 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
6375 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
6376 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
6378 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
6379 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
6381 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
6382 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6384 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
6385 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
6388 *) New functions/macros
6390 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
6391 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
6392 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
6393 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
6395 to request calling a callback function
6397 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
6398 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
6400 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
6401 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
6402 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
6403 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
6404 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
6405 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
6406 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
6407 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
6408 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
6409 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
6411 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
6412 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
6415 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
6416 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
6417 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
6418 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
6419 the configuration scripts.
6421 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
6422 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
6423 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
6425 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
6426 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
6428 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
6429 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
6430 when reusing an existing buffer.
6433 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
6434 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
6437 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
6438 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
6441 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
6442 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
6443 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
6444 has the same effect.
6445 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
6447 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
6448 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
6449 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
6450 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
6451 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
6452 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
6455 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
6456 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
6457 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
6458 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
6460 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
6461 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
6462 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
6463 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
6465 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
6466 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
6469 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
6470 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
6471 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
6472 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
6473 default), and then completely removed.
6476 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
6477 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
6478 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
6479 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
6480 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
6481 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
6482 particular extension is supported.
6485 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
6486 to retain compatibility with existing code.
6489 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
6490 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
6491 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
6492 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
6493 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
6494 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
6495 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
6496 requires the destination to be valid.
6498 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
6499 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
6502 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
6503 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
6504 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
6507 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
6508 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
6510 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
6511 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
6512 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
6513 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
6514 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
6515 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
6516 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
6517 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
6518 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
6519 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
6520 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
6521 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
6522 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
6523 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
6524 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
6525 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
6526 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
6527 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
6528 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
6532 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
6535 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
6536 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
6537 become part of libeay.num as well.
6540 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
6541 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
6542 or HelloRequest/ClientHello received from the peer) and becomes
6543 false once a handshake has been completed.
6544 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
6545 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
6546 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
6547 client has followed the request.)
6550 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
6551 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
6552 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
6553 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
6555 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
6556 more bits available for options that should not be part of
6557 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
6560 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
6563 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
6564 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
6565 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
6568 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
6569 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6572 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
6573 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
6574 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
6575 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
6578 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
6579 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
6580 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
6581 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
6582 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
6583 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
6586 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
6587 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
6588 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
6589 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
6590 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
6591 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
6592 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
6593 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
6596 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
6597 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
6600 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
6603 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
6604 md_data void pointer.
6607 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
6608 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
6609 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
6610 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
6611 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
6612 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
6615 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
6616 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
6617 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
6618 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
6619 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
6620 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
6621 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
6622 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
6623 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
6624 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
6625 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
6626 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
6627 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
6628 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
6629 rather than letting it slide.
6631 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
6632 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
6633 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
6636 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
6637 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
6638 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
6639 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
6640 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
6641 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
6642 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
6643 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
6644 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
6647 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
6648 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
6649 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
6650 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
6651 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
6653 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
6656 *) Add EVP test program.
6659 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
6662 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
6663 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
6664 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
6665 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
6666 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
6669 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
6670 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
6671 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
6672 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
6673 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
6674 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
6675 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
6677 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
6678 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
6679 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
6684 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
6685 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
6686 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
6687 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
6688 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
6692 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
6693 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
6694 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
6695 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
6698 des_key_schedule ks;
6700 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
6701 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
6703 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
6706 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
6707 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
6708 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
6709 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
6710 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
6711 functions prevents this.
6714 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
6717 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
6718 correct _ecb suffix.
6721 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
6722 revocation information is handled using the text based index
6723 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
6724 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
6725 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
6728 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
6731 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
6732 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
6733 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
6734 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
6736 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
6737 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
6739 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
6740 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
6741 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
6742 via Richard Levitte]
6744 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
6745 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
6746 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
6747 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
6750 *) Speed up EVP routines.
6753 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes

6768 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
6769 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
6771 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
6772 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
6773 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
6774 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
6775 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
6776 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
6779 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
6780 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
6783 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
6784 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
6785 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
6786 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
6788 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
6789 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
6790 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
6791 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
6792 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
6793 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
6797 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
6798 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
6799 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
6800 and interrupts/cancellations.
6803 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
6804 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
6807 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
6808 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
6809 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
6811 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
6812 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
6816 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
6817 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
6818 than this minimum value is recommended.
6821 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
6822 that are easily reachable.
6825 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
6826 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
6828 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
6830 won't compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
6831 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
6832 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
6833 needed for static libraries under Win32.
6836 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
6837 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
6838 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
6841 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
6842 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
6843 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
6844 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
6845 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
6846 internally such as S/MIME.
6848 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
6849 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
6850 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
6852 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
6856 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
6857 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
6858 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
6859 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
6861 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
6863 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
6865 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
6866 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
6867 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
6871 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
6872 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
6873 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
6874 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
6875 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
6876 a window system and the like.
6879 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
6880 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
6883 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
6884 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
6885 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
6886 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
6887 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
6888 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
6889 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
6890 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
6891 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
6895 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
6896 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
6900 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
6901 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
6902 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
6903 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
6904 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
6905 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
6906 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
6907 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
6910 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
6911 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
6912 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
6913 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
6914 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
6915 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
6916 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
6917 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
6918 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
6919 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
6920 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
6921 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
6922 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
6923 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
6924 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
6925 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
6926 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
6929 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
6930 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
6931 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
6932 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
6933 internal engine_int.h header.
6936 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
6937 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
6938 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
6939 modify their own ones).
6942 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
6943 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
6944 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
6945 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
6946 later on via ctrl() commands.
6947 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
6948 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
6949 structural references.
6950 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
6951 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
6952 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
6953 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
6954 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
6955 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
6956 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
6957 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
6958 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
6959 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
6960 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
6961 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
6964 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
6965 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
6966 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
6967 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
6968 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
6969 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
6970 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
6971 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
6974 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
6975 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
6978 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
6979 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
6982 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
6983 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
6984 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
6985 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
6986 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
6987 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
6988 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
6991 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
6992 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
6993 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
6994 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
6995 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
6997 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
6998 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
7002 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
7004 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
7005 operations and provides various method functions that can also
7006 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
7008 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
7009 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
7011 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
7012 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
7013 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
7015 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
7016 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
7018 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
7019 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
7021 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
7023 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
7024 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
7025 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
7028 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
7029 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
7032 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
7033 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
7034 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
7035 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
7036 is 40 of more characters long.
7039 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
7040 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
7044 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
7045 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
7048 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
7049 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
7053 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
7055 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
7056 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
7059 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
7061 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
7062 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
7063 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
7065 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
7066 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
7068 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
7071 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
7075 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
7076 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
7077 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
7078 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
7080 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
7082 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
7083 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
7085 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
7086 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
7087 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
7088 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
7089 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
7090 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
7092 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
7093 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
7095 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
7096 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7098 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
7099 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
7101 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
7102 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
7103 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
7104 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
7106 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
7107 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
7109 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
7110 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
7112 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
7113 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
7114 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
7115 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
7116 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
7119 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
7120 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
7121 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
7122 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
7125 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
7126 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
7127 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
7131 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
7132 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
7133 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
7134 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
7135 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
7136 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
7137 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
7138 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
7142 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
7143 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
7146 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
7147 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
7148 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
7149 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
7152 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
7153 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
7154 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
7155 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
7156 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
7157 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
7158 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
7159 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
7160 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
7161 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
7164 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
7165 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
7166 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
7167 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
7168 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
7169 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
7170 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
7171 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7173 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
7174 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
7175 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
7176 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
7179 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
7180 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
7181 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
7182 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
7184 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
7185 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
7186 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
7187 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
7188 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
7192 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
7193 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
7194 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
7195 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
7199 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
7200 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
7201 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
7204 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
7205 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
7206 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
7207 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
7208 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
7211 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
7214 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
7215 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
7216 option to ocsp utility.
7219 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
7220 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
7221 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
7222 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
7223 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
7224 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
7225 the request is nonce-less.
7228 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
7229 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
7230 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
7233 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
7234 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
7235 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
7238 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
7239 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
7240 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
7241 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
7242 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
7245 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
7246 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
7250 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
7251 additional certificates supplied.
7254 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
7255 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
7259 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
7260 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
7263 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
7264 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
7265 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
7266 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
7267 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
7268 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
7269 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
7270 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
7271 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
7273 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
7274 request to response.
7277 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
7278 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
7279 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
7280 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
7281 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
7282 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
7283 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
7284 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
7285 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
7286 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
7287 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
7290 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
7291 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
7292 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
7293 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
7296 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
7297 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7299 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
7300 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
7301 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
7304 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
7305 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
7306 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
7307 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7308 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7310 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
7311 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
7312 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
7315 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
7316 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
7317 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
7318 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
7319 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
7320 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
7321 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
7322 <support@securenetterm.com>]
7324 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
7325 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
7326 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
7327 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
7328 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
7329 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
7332 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
7333 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
7334 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
7335 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
7336 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
7337 printout format cleaned up.
7340 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
7341 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
7342 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
7343 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
7344 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
7345 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
7346 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
7347 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
7350 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
7351 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
7352 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
7353 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
7354 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
7355 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
7356 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
7357 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
7360 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
7361 extensions from a separate configuration file.
7362 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
7363 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
7365 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7367 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
7368 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
7369 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
7370 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
7373 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
7374 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
7375 the given serial number (according to the index file).
7376 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
7378 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
7380 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
7381 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
7382 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
7383 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7385 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
7386 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
7388 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
7389 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
7390 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
7393 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
7394 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
7395 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
7398 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
7399 file name and line number information in additional arguments
7400 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
7401 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
7402 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
7403 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
7404 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
7405 functions are provided:
7407 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
7408 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
7409 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
7410 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
7412 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
7413 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
7414 extended allocation function is enabled.
7415 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
7416 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
7417 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
7419 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
7420 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
7421 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
7422 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
7423 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
7426 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
7427 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
7428 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
7430 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
7431 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, querying stops
7432 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
7435 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
7436 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
7437 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
7438 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
7439 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
7440 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
7441 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
7442 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
7443 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
7446 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
7447 provide utility functions which an application needing
7448 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
7449 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
7450 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
7452 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
7453 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
7454 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
7455 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
7456 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
7457 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
7458 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
7459 won't normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
7460 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
7462 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
7463 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
7464 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
7465 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
7468 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
7469 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
7470 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
7471 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
7472 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
7473 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
7474 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
7475 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
7476 will be added elsewhere.
7479 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
7480 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
7481 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
7482 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
7485 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
7486 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
7487 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
7488 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
7489 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
7490 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
7491 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
7492 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
7493 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
7494 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
7495 to produce the required SET OF.
7498 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
7499 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
7500 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
7503 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
7504 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
7505 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
7506 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
7507 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
7508 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
7511 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
7512 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
7513 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
7516 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
7517 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
7518 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
7521 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
7522 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
7523 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
7524 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
7525 code will still work when these eventually go away.
7528 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
7529 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
7532 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
7533 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
7534 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
7535 certificates and CRLs.
7538 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
7539 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
7540 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
7543 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add appropriate
7544 entries for variables.
7547 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
7548 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
7549 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
7550 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
7553 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
7554 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
7555 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
7556 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
7557 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
7558 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
7561 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
7562 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
7564 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
7565 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
7566 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
7569 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
7573 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
7574 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
7575 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
7576 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
7577 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
7578 order did not reflect the encoded order.
7581 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
7584 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
7585 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
7586 for now but they will eventually go away.
7589 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
7590 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
7591 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
7592 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
7593 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
7594 has also been converted to the new form.
7597 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
7598 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
7599 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
7600 for negative moduli.
7603 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
7604 of not touching the result's sign bit.
7607 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
7611 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
7612 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
7613 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
7614 type-specific callbacks.
7617 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
7619 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
7620 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
7622 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
7623 in sections depending on the subject.
7626 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
7630 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
7631 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
7632 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
7633 be handled deterministically).
7634 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7636 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
7637 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
7638 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
7641 *) New function BN_kronecker.
7644 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
7645 positive unless both parameters are zero.
7646 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
7647 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
7648 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
7651 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
7652 sign of the number in question.
7654 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
7656 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
7657 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
7658 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
7659 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
7660 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
7663 *) New function BN_swap.
7666 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
7667 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
7668 results on negative inputs.
7671 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
7672 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
7673 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
7676 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
7677 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
7678 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
7679 and add new functions:
7688 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
7692 These functions always generate non-negative results.
7694 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
7695 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
7697 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
7698 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
7699 be reduced modulo m.
7700 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
7703 The following entry accidentally appeared in the CHANGES file
7704 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
7705 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
7707 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
7708 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
7709 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
7710 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
7711 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
7712 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
7717 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
7718 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
7719 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
7720 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
7721 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
7723 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
7724 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
7725 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
7729 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
7732 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
7733 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
7736 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
7737 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
7738 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
7739 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
7743 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
7746 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
7749 *) Add the following functions:
7751 ENGINE_load_cswift()
7753 ENGINE_load_atalla()
7755 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
7757 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
7758 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
7759 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
7760 libraries unless it's really needed.
7762 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
7763 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
7764 declarations (they differed!).
7767 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
7770 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
7773 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
7776 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
7777 identity, and test if they are actually available.
7780 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
7781 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
7782 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
7784 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
7785 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
7788 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
7791 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
7794 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
7797 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
7798 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
7799 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
7801 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
7802 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
7803 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
7804 different shared library filenames on each system.
7807 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
7810 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
7811 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
7812 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
7814 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
7817 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
7818 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
7819 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
7820 binary backward compatibility.
7821 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
7822 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
7823 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
7827 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
7828 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
7829 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
7830 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
7834 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
7837 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
7838 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
7839 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
7840 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
7844 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
7847 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
7849 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
7850 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
7851 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
7853 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
7855 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
7857 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
7858 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
7861 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
7863 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
7865 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
7866 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
7868 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
7869 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
7873 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
7874 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
7878 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
7879 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
7880 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
7881 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
7883 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
7884 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
7887 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
7889 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
7890 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
7891 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
7892 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
7895 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
7896 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
7897 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
7898 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
7899 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
7901 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
7902 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
7903 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
7904 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
7905 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
7906 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
7907 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
7908 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
7909 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
7912 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
7914 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
7915 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
7916 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
7917 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
7918 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
7920 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
7921 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
7922 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
7924 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
7926 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
7927 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
7928 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
7929 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
7930 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
7931 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
7934 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
7935 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
7936 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
7937 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
7938 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
7941 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
7942 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
7943 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
7945 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
7946 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
7947 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
7951 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
7952 being properly terminated.
7955 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
7956 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
7957 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
7958 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
7960 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
7961 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
7962 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
7963 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
7964 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
7965 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
7966 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
7968 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
7970 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
7971 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
7974 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
7975 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
7976 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
7977 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
7978 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
7979 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
7980 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
7981 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
7983 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
7984 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
7985 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
7986 (see [openssl.org #212]).
7987 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
7989 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
7990 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
7993 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
7995 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
7996 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
7997 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
7999 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
8001 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
8002 and get fix the header length calculation.
8003 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
8004 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
8007 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
8008 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
8009 assertions could call abort()).
8010 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
8012 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
8014 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8015 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8016 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8018 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8020 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
8021 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
8022 by the selection routines (PR #130).
8025 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
8029 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
8030 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
8031 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
8033 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
8034 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
8035 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
8036 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
8037 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
8041 *) Changes in security patch:
8043 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
8044 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
8045 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
8048 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
8049 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
8050 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
8051 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
8052 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
8054 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
8056 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8058 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
8059 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
8060 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
8062 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
8063 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
8064 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8066 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
8067 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
8068 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
8070 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
8072 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
8073 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
8074 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
8076 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
8077 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
8079 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
8080 an end-of-file condition would erroneously be flagged, when the CRLF
8081 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
8082 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
8083 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
8084 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
8087 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
8088 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
8089 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
8090 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
8093 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
8096 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
8097 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
8098 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
8099 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
8100 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
8101 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8103 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
8104 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
8105 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
8106 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
8107 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
8110 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
8111 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
8112 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
8113 BN_generate_prime().)
8115 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
8116 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
8117 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
8121 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
8122 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
8125 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
8126 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
8127 when using non-blocking I/O.
8128 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
8130 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
8131 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
8133 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
8134 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
8137 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
8138 configuration for the versions before that.
8139 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
8141 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
8142 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
8143 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
8144 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
8147 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
8148 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
8149 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
8152 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
8156 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
8157 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
8158 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
8160 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
8161 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
8163 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
8164 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
8165 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
8166 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
8167 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
8168 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
8169 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
8172 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
8173 using a local variable.
8174 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
8176 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
8177 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
8178 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
8180 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
8183 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
8184 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
8186 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
8187 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
8188 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
8190 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
8192 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
8193 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
8194 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
8195 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
8198 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
8202 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
8203 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
8204 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
8205 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
8206 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
8208 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
8209 returns early because it has nothing to do.
8210 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8212 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8213 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
8214 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8216 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8217 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
8218 (Use engine 'keyclient')
8219 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
8221 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
8222 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
8223 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
8225 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
8227 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8228 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
8230 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
8232 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8233 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
8234 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
8235 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
8237 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
8238 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
8239 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
8240 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
8242 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
8243 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
8245 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
8246 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
8247 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
8250 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
8251 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
8252 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
8254 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
8256 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
8257 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
8258 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
8259 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
8260 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
8261 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
8262 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
8265 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
8266 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
8267 one of the SSL handshake functions.
8268 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
8270 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
8271 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
8272 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
8273 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
8274 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
8275 the client will at least see that alert.
8278 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
8282 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
8283 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
8284 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
8286 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
8287 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circumvents various
8288 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
8289 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
8292 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
8293 before just sending a HelloRequest.
8294 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
8296 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
8297 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
8298 verification error occurred. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
8299 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
8300 may leak via logfiles.)
8302 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
8303 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
8304 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
8305 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
8309 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
8310 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
8313 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
8314 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
8315 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
8316 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
8317 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
8320 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
8321 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
8323 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
8324 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
8325 followed by modular reduction.
8326 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
8328 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
8329 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
8332 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
8333 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
8334 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
8335 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
8338 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
8341 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
8342 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
8345 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
8346 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
8347 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
8348 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
8349 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
8350 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
8352 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
8354 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
8355 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
8356 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
8357 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
8358 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
8360 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
8363 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
8364 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
8365 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
8366 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
8367 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
8368 to allow the necessary settings.
8371 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
8372 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
8373 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
8374 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
8377 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
8378 dh->length and always used
8380 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
8382 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
8383 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
8384 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
8385 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
8386 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
8391 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
8393 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
8399 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
8400 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
8401 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
8402 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
8404 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
8405 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
8406 always reject numbers >= n.
8409 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
8410 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
8411 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
8412 variable) is not atomic.
8415 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
8416 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
8417 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
8418 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
8420 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
8421 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
8423 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
8425 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
8427 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
8430 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
8432 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
8433 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
8434 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
8435 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
8436 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
8437 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
8438 to traverse all of 'state'.
8440 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
8441 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
8442 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
8444 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
8445 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
8447 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
8448 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
8449 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
8450 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
8451 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
8452 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
8453 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
8454 further strengthens the PRNG.
8457 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
8460 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
8461 an error message in this case.
8464 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
8467 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
8468 positive and less than q.
8471 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
8472 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
8474 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
8476 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
8477 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
8481 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8483 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
8484 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
8485 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
8486 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
8487 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
8488 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
8489 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
8492 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
8493 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
8494 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
8495 detect the supposedly ignored error.
8497 Both problems are now fixed.
8500 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
8501 (previously it was 1024).
8504 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
8505 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
8508 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
8511 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
8512 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
8513 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
8516 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
8517 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
8518 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
8519 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
8520 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
8521 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
8522 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
8523 environment variables.
8525 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
8526 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
8527 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
8530 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
8531 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
8532 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
8533 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
8534 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
8535 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
8538 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
8542 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
8544 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
8545 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
8547 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
8548 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
8549 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
8550 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
8554 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
8555 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
8556 amount of data available.
8557 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
8558 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8560 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
8561 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
8562 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
8563 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
8566 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
8567 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
8571 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
8572 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
8573 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
8574 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
8577 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
8580 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
8583 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
8584 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
8586 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8588 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
8589 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
8590 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
8591 (but broken) behaviour.
8594 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
8596 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
8598 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
8599 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
8602 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
8606 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
8607 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
8609 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
8612 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
8613 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
8614 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
8616 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
8617 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
8618 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
8621 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
8622 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
8625 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
8626 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
8628 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
8630 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
8632 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
8633 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
8634 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
8635 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
8638 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
8641 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
8642 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
8643 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8645 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
8648 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8650 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
8651 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
8652 but the code is actually correct.
8655 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
8656 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
8657 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
8658 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
8659 and leaves the highest bit random.
8660 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8662 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
8663 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
8664 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
8665 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
8666 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
8667 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
8668 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
8671 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
8674 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
8675 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
8678 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
8679 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
8680 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
8681 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
8685 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
8686 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
8687 and break the signature.
8689 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
8691 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
8695 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
8696 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
8697 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
8698 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
8699 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
8702 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
8703 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
8705 *) ./config script fixes.
8706 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
8708 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
8711 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
8712 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
8713 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
8714 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
8715 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
8717 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
8718 call failed, free the DSA structure.
8721 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
8722 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
8725 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
8726 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
8727 when writing a 32767 byte record.
8728 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
8730 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
8731 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
8733 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
8734 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
8735 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
8736 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
8737 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
8739 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
8742 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
8745 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
8748 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
8751 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
8752 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
8755 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
8756 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
8757 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
8758 result of the server certificate verification.)
8761 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
8762 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
8763 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
8767 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
8768 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
8769 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
8770 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
8771 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
8772 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
8773 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
8774 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
8777 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
8778 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
8779 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
8780 happening the other way round.
8783 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
8784 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
8787 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
8788 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
8789 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
8790 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
8793 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
8794 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
8796 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
8798 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
8799 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
8800 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
8803 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
8805 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
8807 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
8811 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
8813 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
8814 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
8815 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
8816 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
8817 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
8819 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
8820 Previously, it would create entries for disabled algorithms no
8824 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
8827 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
8829 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
8830 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
8831 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
8832 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
8833 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
8834 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
8835 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
8836 by the Finished messages.
8839 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
8840 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
8842 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
8843 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
8844 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
8845 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
8846 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
8850 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
8851 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
8852 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
8853 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
8854 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
8855 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
8856 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
8857 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
8858 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
8862 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
8863 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
8864 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
8865 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
8867 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
8868 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
8869 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
8870 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
8871 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
8874 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
8875 been tested well enough.
8878 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
8879 it can return incorrect results.
8880 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
8881 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
8884 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
8885 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
8886 include zero length content when signing messages.
8889 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
8890 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
8893 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
8896 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
8900 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
8901 packages. The default package contains applications, application
8902 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
8903 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
8904 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
8905 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
8908 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
8909 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8911 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
8912 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
8914 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
8915 random number < q in the DSA library.
8918 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
8919 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
8920 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
8921 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
8922 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
8923 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
8924 just makes things more complicated.)
8927 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
8931 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
8932 work better on such systems.
8933 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8935 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
8936 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
8937 keyid to the certificates aux info.
8940 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
8941 if there was more than one signature.
8942 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
8944 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
8945 about each symbol, as well as presenting variables as well
8946 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
8947 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
8950 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
8951 rather than always using the current time.
8954 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
8955 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
8956 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
8957 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
8958 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
8959 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
8961 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
8962 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
8964 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
8966 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
8967 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
8968 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
8969 the same hash value.
8971 As a result various functions (which were all internal
8972 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
8973 structure. This will break anything that messed round
8974 with X509_STORE internally.
8976 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
8977 exact match, rather than just subject name.
8979 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
8980 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
8981 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
8982 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
8983 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
8984 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
8985 entirely (maybe later...).
8987 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
8989 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
8990 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
8991 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
8992 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
8993 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
8994 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
8995 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
8996 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
8998 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
8999 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
9001 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
9002 to customise the verify behaviour.
9005 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
9006 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
9009 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
9010 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputting
9011 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
9012 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
9013 request is improperly encoded.
9016 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
9017 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
9020 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
9021 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
9023 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
9024 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
9028 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
9029 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
9030 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
9033 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
9034 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
9035 BIO/fp routines also added.
9038 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
9039 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
9041 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
9042 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
9043 demos/state_machine.
9046 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
9047 generation and verification.
9050 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
9051 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
9052 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
9053 encode and decode it manually.
9056 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
9058 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
9060 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
9061 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
9062 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
9063 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
9065 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
9066 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
9067 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
9068 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
9069 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
9072 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
9075 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
9076 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
9077 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
9079 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
9080 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
9081 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
9082 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
9083 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
9084 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
9085 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
9086 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
9088 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
9089 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
9091 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
9093 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
9094 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
9095 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
9099 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
9100 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
9101 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
9102 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
9106 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
9108 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
9111 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
9112 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
9113 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
9114 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
9115 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
9116 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
9117 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
9118 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
9119 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
9120 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
9121 short or long names are found.
9124 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
9125 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
9127 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
9128 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
9129 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
9130 version rollback attacks was not effective.
9132 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
9133 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
9134 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
9135 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
9138 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
9139 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
9140 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
9143 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
9144 these print out strings and name structures based on various
9145 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
9146 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
9147 to allow the various flags to be set.
9150 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
9151 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
9152 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
9153 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
9154 dates to be checked.
9157 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
9158 negative public key encodings) on by default,
9159 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
9162 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
9163 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
9164 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
9167 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
9168 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
9171 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
9172 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
9173 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
9174 are always statically linked for now, but there are
9175 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
9176 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
9179 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
9180 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
9184 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
9188 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
9189 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
9190 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
9191 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
9192 form signing output easier to verify.
9195 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
9198 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
9199 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
9200 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
9201 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
9202 are needed because all other string types have virtually
9203 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
9204 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
9205 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
9206 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
9207 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
9210 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
9212 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
9213 the syntax given in objects.README.
9214 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
9216 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
9219 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
9220 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
9221 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
9222 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
9223 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
9224 consistent name changes.
9227 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
9230 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
9231 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
9232 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
9233 environment variable, or the default random state file.
9236 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
9237 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
9238 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
9242 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
9243 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
9244 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
9245 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
9248 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
9249 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
9250 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
9251 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
9252 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
9253 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
9254 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
9255 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
9256 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
9257 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
9258 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
9261 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
9262 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
9263 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
9264 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used instead. Added some
9265 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
9266 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
9267 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
9268 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
9269 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
9270 algorithm to openssl-dev.
9273 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
9274 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
9275 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
9276 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
9278 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
9279 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
9280 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
9281 omit any duplicate addresses.
9284 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
9285 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
9288 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
9289 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
9290 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
9291 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
9292 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
9295 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
9297 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
9298 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
9299 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
9300 Free => OPENSSL_free
9303 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
9304 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
9307 *) CygWin32 support.
9308 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
9310 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
9311 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
9312 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
9313 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
9314 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
9318 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
9319 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
9320 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
9321 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
9322 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
9323 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
9324 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
9327 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
9328 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
9329 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
9330 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
9331 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
9332 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
9333 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
9334 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
9335 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
9336 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
9337 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
9340 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
9341 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
9342 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
9343 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
9344 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
9346 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
9347 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
9348 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
9349 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
9350 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
9352 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
9355 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
9356 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
9357 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
9358 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
9360 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
9362 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
9365 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
9366 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
9367 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
9370 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
9371 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
9372 any installed hardware versions can.
9375 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
9376 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
9377 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
9381 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
9382 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
9383 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
9384 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
9385 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
9387 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
9388 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
9391 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
9392 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
9395 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
9396 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
9397 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
9401 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
9404 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
9405 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
9406 but no ssl client purpose.
9407 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
9409 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
9410 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
9411 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
9412 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
9413 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
9414 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
9415 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
9416 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
9417 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
9418 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
9419 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
9422 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
9423 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
9424 be obtained from the error queue.
9427 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
9428 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
9429 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
9430 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
9433 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
9436 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
9437 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
9438 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
9439 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
9440 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
9443 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
9444 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
9445 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
9446 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
9447 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
9450 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
9451 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
9452 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
9454 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
9456 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
9457 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
9458 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
9459 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
9460 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
9461 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
9462 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
9463 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
9464 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
9465 or "the configuration storage API"...
9467 The new configuration file reading functions are:
9469 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
9470 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
9472 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
9474 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
9476 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
9477 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
9478 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
9479 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
9480 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
9481 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
9482 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
9484 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
9485 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
9488 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
9489 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
9490 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
9491 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
9494 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
9495 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
9496 them in a portable way.
9497 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
9499 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
9501 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
9503 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
9504 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
9506 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
9507 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
9508 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
9511 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
9512 was larger than the MD block size.
9513 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
9515 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
9516 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
9517 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
9518 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
9522 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
9523 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
9524 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
9526 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
9528 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
9530 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
9531 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
9532 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
9533 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
9534 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
9535 Additional arguments are always ignored.
9537 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
9538 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
9540 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
9541 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
9544 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
9547 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
9548 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
9550 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
9551 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
9552 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meaning
9553 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
9556 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
9557 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
9558 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
9559 does not suppress any output.
9562 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
9563 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
9564 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
9565 with all the associated security issues.
9567 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
9568 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
9569 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
9570 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
9571 use the value in the default purpose.
9574 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
9575 and fix a memory leak.
9578 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
9579 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
9580 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
9581 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
9584 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
9585 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
9586 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
9587 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
9590 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
9591 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
9592 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
9595 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
9596 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
9599 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
9600 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
9604 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
9605 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
9608 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
9609 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
9610 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
9613 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
9614 number generation fails.
9617 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
9620 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
9621 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
9623 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
9626 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
9627 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
9629 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
9630 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
9632 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
9634 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
9635 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
9638 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
9639 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
9641 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
9642 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
9645 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
9646 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
9647 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
9648 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
9649 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
9650 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
9652 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
9653 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
9654 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
9658 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
9659 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
9660 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
9661 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
9662 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
9663 counter, some don't.)
9664 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
9665 counters or duplicate objects.
9668 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
9669 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
9672 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
9673 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
9674 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
9676 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
9677 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
9678 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
9682 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
9683 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
9686 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
9687 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
9688 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
9692 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
9693 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
9694 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
9697 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
9698 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
9699 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
9700 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
9701 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
9702 should work without changes.
9705 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
9706 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
9707 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
9708 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
9709 must be defined. E.g.,
9710 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
9711 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
9712 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
9713 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
9715 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
9719 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
9720 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
9721 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
9724 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
9725 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
9726 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
9727 request header lines. Some software needs this.
9730 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
9731 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
9732 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
9733 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
9734 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
9735 is prompted for as usual.
9738 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
9739 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
9740 autodetect the card and use it if present.
9741 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
9743 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
9744 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
9745 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
9746 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
9749 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
9752 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
9756 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
9759 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
9762 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
9766 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
9769 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
9772 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
9773 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
9776 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
9777 options to produce them.
9780 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
9781 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
9784 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
9788 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
9789 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
9790 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
9791 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
9792 link with digests. This never worked because SSLeay_add_all_digests()
9793 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
9794 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
9797 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
9800 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
9801 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
9802 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
9805 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
9806 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
9808 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
9809 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
9812 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
9813 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
9814 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
9818 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
9819 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
9821 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
9822 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
9823 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
9824 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
9825 generation becomes much faster.
9827 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
9828 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
9829 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
9830 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
9831 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
9832 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
9833 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
9834 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
9835 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
9836 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
9839 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
9840 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
9841 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
9842 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
9843 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
9844 trial division stage.
9847 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
9851 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
9854 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
9857 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
9858 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
9859 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
9863 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
9864 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
9865 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
9868 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
9869 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
9870 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
9871 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
9873 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
9874 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
9877 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
9880 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
9881 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
9882 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
9883 Rabin-Miller iterations.
9886 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
9887 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
9888 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
9891 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
9892 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
9893 (instead of parameters) in future.
9896 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
9897 when a new cipher list is set.
9900 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
9901 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
9904 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
9905 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
9906 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
9908 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
9909 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
9910 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
9911 an error is flagged.
9913 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
9914 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
9915 the readability was also increased :-)
9916 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
9918 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
9919 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
9920 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
9921 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
9925 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
9926 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
9929 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
9930 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
9931 structures and behave in an analogous way to the X509v3 functions:
9932 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
9935 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
9936 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
9937 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
9938 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
9939 because they handle more complex structures.)
9942 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
9943 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
9944 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
9945 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9947 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
9948 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
9949 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
9950 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
9951 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
9952 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
9953 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
9956 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
9957 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
9958 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
9959 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
9960 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
9963 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
9966 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
9967 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
9968 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
9969 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
9970 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
9973 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
9977 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
9978 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
9979 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
9980 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
9983 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
9986 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
9987 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
9988 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
9989 international characters are used.
9991 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
9992 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
9993 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
9997 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
9998 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
9999 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
10002 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
10003 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
10004 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
10005 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
10006 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
10007 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
10009 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
10010 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
10011 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
10012 be handled by the string table functions.
10014 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
10015 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
10016 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
10017 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
10018 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
10022 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
10023 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
10024 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
10025 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
10026 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
10028 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
10029 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
10030 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
10031 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
10034 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
10035 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
10036 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
10037 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
10038 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
10042 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
10043 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
10044 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
10045 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
10046 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
10047 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
10048 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
10049 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
10051 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
10052 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
10053 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
10056 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
10057 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
10058 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
10059 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
10060 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
10061 support to pkcs8 application.
10064 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
10065 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
10066 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
10067 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
10068 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
10069 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
10072 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
10073 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
10074 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
10075 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
10076 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
10080 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
10081 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
10082 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
10083 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
10087 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
10088 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
10089 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
10090 and any application specific purposes.
10092 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
10093 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
10094 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
10095 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
10096 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
10097 if the certificate is self signed.
10100 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
10101 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
10104 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
10105 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
10106 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
10107 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
10110 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
10111 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
10112 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
10113 Update documentation.
10116 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
10117 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
10118 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
10119 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
10120 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
10123 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
10125 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
10127 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
10128 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
10129 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
10130 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
10131 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
10132 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
10133 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
10134 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
10135 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
10136 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
10138 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
10140 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10141 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
10142 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
10143 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
10144 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
10146 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
10147 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
10148 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
10149 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
10150 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
10151 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
10152 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
10153 request additional information:
10154 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
10155 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
10157 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
10158 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
10159 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
10162 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
10163 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
10165 CRYPTO_dbg_malloc()
10166 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
10169 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
10170 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
10172 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
10173 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
10174 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
10178 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
10179 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
10180 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
10182 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
10183 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
10184 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
10185 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
10186 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
10187 included in OpenSSL.
10190 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
10191 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
10192 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
10193 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
10194 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
10195 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
10198 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
10202 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
10203 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
10204 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
10205 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
10206 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
10210 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
10214 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
10215 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
10216 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
10217 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
10218 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
10219 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
10220 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
10221 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
10222 be maintained manually.
10224 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
10225 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
10226 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
10227 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
10228 work because people forget to call this function]
10229 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
10230 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
10231 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
10234 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
10235 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
10236 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
10237 should be discouraged from doing it.
10240 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
10241 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
10242 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
10243 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
10244 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
10245 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
10248 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
10249 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
10250 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
10252 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
10253 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
10254 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
10256 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
10257 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
10258 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
10259 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
10260 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
10261 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
10263 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
10264 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
10265 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
10267 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
10268 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
10271 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
10272 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
10273 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
10274 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
10277 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
10280 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
10281 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
10282 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
10283 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
10284 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
10285 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
10286 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
10287 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
10288 keys so we should be OK.
10290 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
10291 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
10292 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
10293 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
10294 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
10295 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
10296 stay in the name of compatibility.
10298 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
10299 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
10300 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
10302 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
10303 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
10304 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
10305 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
10306 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
10307 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
10311 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
10312 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
10313 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
10314 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
10315 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
10316 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
10317 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
10318 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
10319 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
10320 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
10321 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
10322 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
10323 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
10326 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
10329 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
10330 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
10331 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
10332 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
10333 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
10334 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
10335 single self signed certificate. This means that:
10336 openssl verify ss.pem
10337 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
10338 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
10342 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
10343 (and add it to external session representation).
10344 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
10345 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
10346 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
10347 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
10348 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
10349 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
10351 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
10353 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
10354 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
10355 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
10356 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
10358 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
10359 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
10360 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
10363 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
10364 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
10365 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
10369 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
10370 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
10371 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
10373 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
10374 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
10375 certificate auxiliary information.
10378 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
10382 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
10383 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
10384 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
10385 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
10386 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
10387 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
10388 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
10391 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
10392 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
10395 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
10396 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
10397 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
10398 manpages and fix a few bugs.
10401 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
10404 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
10405 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
10408 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
10409 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
10410 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
10411 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
10412 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
10413 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
10414 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
10415 using the new 'x509' options.
10417 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
10418 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
10419 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
10420 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
10424 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
10425 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
10426 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
10427 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
10428 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
10431 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
10432 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
10433 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
10434 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
10435 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
10436 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
10437 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
10438 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
10439 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
10440 the key length and effective key length are equal.
10443 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
10444 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
10445 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
10446 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
10447 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
10448 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
10449 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
10452 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
10453 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
10454 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
10455 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
10456 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
10457 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
10458 openssl.cnf for more info.
10461 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
10462 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
10463 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
10464 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
10465 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
10466 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
10467 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
10468 md should be large enough anyway.
10471 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
10472 for handling the random seed file.
10474 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
10476 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
10479 x509 (when signing).
10480 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
10481 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
10482 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
10484 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
10485 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
10486 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
10487 that support '-rand'.
10490 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
10491 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
10494 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
10495 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
10498 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
10499 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
10500 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
10501 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
10505 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
10506 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
10507 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
10508 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
10511 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
10512 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
10513 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
10514 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
10515 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
10516 print out all the purposes.
10519 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
10523 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
10524 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
10525 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
10526 single function call.
10529 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
10530 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
10533 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
10534 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
10535 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
10538 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
10539 when producing the local key id.
10540 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
10542 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
10543 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
10544 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
10548 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
10549 a public key to be input or output. For example:
10550 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
10551 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
10554 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
10555 in the message. This was handled by allowing
10556 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
10557 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
10559 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
10560 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
10561 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
10562 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10564 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
10565 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
10566 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
10567 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
10568 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
10569 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
10570 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
10571 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
10572 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
10573 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
10574 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
10575 trivial: move one line.
10576 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
10578 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
10579 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
10580 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
10581 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
10582 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
10583 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
10584 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
10585 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
10586 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
10587 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
10588 with an event loop for example.
10591 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
10592 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
10593 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
10594 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
10595 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
10596 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
10597 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
10598 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
10599 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
10602 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
10603 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
10604 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
10605 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
10606 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
10607 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
10610 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
10611 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
10612 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
10613 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
10615 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
10616 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
10617 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
10618 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
10622 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
10623 (still largely untested)
10626 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
10627 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
10630 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
10631 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
10634 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
10635 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
10636 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
10639 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
10640 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
10641 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
10642 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
10643 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
10646 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
10649 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
10650 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
10651 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
10652 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
10653 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
10657 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
10658 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
10661 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
10664 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
10665 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
10666 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
10667 are otherwise ignored at present.
10670 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
10671 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
10672 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
10673 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
10674 copied until the next read.
10677 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
10678 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
10679 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
10682 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
10683 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
10684 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
10685 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
10686 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
10687 associated functions.
10690 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
10691 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
10692 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
10693 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
10694 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
10695 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
10696 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
10697 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
10698 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
10702 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
10703 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
10704 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
10705 but a retry condition occurred while trying to read the rest.
10708 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
10709 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
10710 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
10711 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
10712 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
10716 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
10717 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
10721 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
10722 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
10723 extensions to be obtained and added.
10726 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
10727 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
10730 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
10732 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
10733 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10735 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
10736 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
10738 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
10742 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
10743 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
10744 DH parameters contain its length).
10746 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
10747 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
10748 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
10749 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
10750 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
10751 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
10752 utter importance to use
10753 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10755 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
10756 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
10757 attacks may become possible!
10760 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
10763 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
10764 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
10767 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
10768 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
10769 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
10773 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
10774 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
10775 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
10776 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
10777 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
10778 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
10779 private key operations.
10782 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
10785 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
10786 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
10788 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
10789 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
10790 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
10791 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
10792 the password callback is called.
10793 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
10795 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
10797 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
10798 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
10799 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
10800 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
10801 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
10802 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
10805 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
10806 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
10807 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
10808 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
10809 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
10810 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
10813 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
10816 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
10817 delete an unused file.
10820 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
10821 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
10822 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
10823 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
10826 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
10827 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
10828 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
10832 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
10833 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
10834 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
10836 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
10837 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
10838 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
10839 comparison" warnings.
10840 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
10843 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
10844 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
10845 derived keys are printed to stderr.
10848 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
10849 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
10851 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
10852 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
10854 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
10855 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
10856 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
10858 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
10859 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
10860 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
10861 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
10862 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
10864 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
10866 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
10867 The interface is as follows:
10868 Applications can use
10869 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
10870 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
10871 "off" is now the default.
10872 The library internally uses
10873 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
10874 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
10875 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
10877 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
10878 even the default) are now avoided.
10880 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
10881 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
10882 than just having a counter.
10884 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
10886 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
10890 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
10891 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
10892 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
10893 Initial "mode" flags are:
10895 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
10896 a single record has been written.
10897 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
10898 retries use the same buffer location.
10899 (But all of the contents must be
10903 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
10906 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
10907 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
10909 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
10910 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
10911 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
10914 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
10915 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
10917 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
10919 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
10920 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
10921 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
10922 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
10924 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
10925 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
10927 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
10928 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
10929 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
10930 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
10931 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
10932 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
10935 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
10936 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
10937 necessary function names.
10940 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
10941 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
10942 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
10943 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
10946 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
10947 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
10948 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
10951 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
10952 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
10953 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
10954 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
10956 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
10960 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
10961 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
10962 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
10965 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
10966 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
10970 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
10971 for the encoded length.
10972 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
10974 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
10977 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
10978 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
10979 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
10980 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
10983 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
10984 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
10985 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10987 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
10988 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
10989 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
10990 unusual formatting.
10993 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
10994 to use the new extension code.
10997 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
10998 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
10999 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
11003 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
11004 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
11005 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
11009 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
11012 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
11013 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
11014 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
11017 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
11018 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
11019 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
11020 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
11023 *) DES library cleanups.
11026 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
11027 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
11028 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
11029 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
11030 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
11034 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
11035 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
11038 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
11039 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
11040 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
11041 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
11042 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
11043 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
11044 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
11045 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
11046 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
11049 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
11050 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
11051 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
11052 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
11053 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
11054 value doesn't matter.
11057 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
11061 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
11062 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
11063 "linux-sparc" configuration.
11064 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
11066 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
11069 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
11070 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
11071 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11073 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
11074 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
11076 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
11079 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
11082 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
11085 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
11089 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
11091 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
11093 *) Updated some demos.
11094 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
11096 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
11099 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
11102 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
11105 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
11106 instead of using a fixed path.
11109 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
11112 *) Improvements for VMS support.
11116 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
11118 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
11119 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
11120 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11122 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
11123 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
11124 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
11125 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
11126 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
11127 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
11128 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
11129 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
11130 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
11131 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
11134 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
11135 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
11138 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
11139 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
11140 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
11141 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
11142 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
11144 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
11147 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
11148 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
11149 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
11152 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
11155 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
11156 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
11157 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
11158 key elements as negative integers.
11161 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
11162 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11165 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
11167 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
11168 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
11169 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
11172 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
11173 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
11174 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
11175 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
11176 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
11179 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
11182 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
11183 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
11184 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
11185 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11187 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
11188 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
11189 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
11191 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
11192 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
11193 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
11194 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
11195 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
11196 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
11197 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
11198 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
11199 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
11201 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
11202 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
11203 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
11204 does not influence s as it used to.
11206 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
11207 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
11208 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
11209 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
11210 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
11211 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
11214 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
11215 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
11216 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
11220 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
11221 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
11222 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
11226 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
11227 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
11228 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
11232 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
11233 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
11236 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
11237 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
11239 *) Support Mingw32.
11242 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
11243 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11245 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
11246 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11248 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
11251 *) Update HPUX configuration.
11254 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
11255 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11257 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
11258 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
11259 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
11263 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
11264 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
11265 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
11266 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
11267 now it really counts the depth.
11270 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
11271 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
11272 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
11273 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
11274 didn't match the private key).
11276 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
11277 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
11278 connection using the SSL_CTX).
11281 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
11284 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
11288 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
11289 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
11290 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
11293 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
11296 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
11297 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
11298 such as /usr/local/bin.
11301 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
11302 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11304 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
11307 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
11308 extension adding in x509 utility.
11311 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
11314 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
11318 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
11321 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
11322 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
11323 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
11324 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
11325 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
11326 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
11327 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
11328 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
11329 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
11330 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
11333 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
11336 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
11337 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
11340 *) Fix some race conditions.
11343 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
11344 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
11347 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
11350 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
11351 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
11352 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
11353 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
11355 *) Fix lots of warnings.
11356 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11358 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
11359 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
11360 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11362 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
11363 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11365 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
11368 *) Fix typos in error codes.
11369 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
11371 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
11374 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
11375 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
11377 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
11378 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
11381 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
11382 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
11385 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
11386 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
11389 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
11390 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
11393 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
11394 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
11397 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
11398 support typesafe stack.
11401 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
11402 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
11404 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
11405 old X509V3 handling code.
11408 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
11411 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
11414 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
11417 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
11418 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
11420 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
11421 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
11422 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
11423 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
11424 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
11427 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
11428 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
11429 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
11430 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
11431 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
11433 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
11434 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
11435 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
11436 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11438 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
11439 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
11440 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
11441 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11443 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
11444 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
11445 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
11446 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
11447 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
11448 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
11451 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
11452 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
11455 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
11456 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
11459 *) Tweaks to Configure
11460 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
11462 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
11466 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
11469 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
11470 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
11473 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
11474 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
11475 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
11478 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
11481 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
11482 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
11485 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
11486 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
11487 to library startup routines.
11490 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
11491 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
11492 codes along the way.
11495 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
11496 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
11497 objects to objects.h
11500 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
11501 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
11504 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
11505 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
11507 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
11508 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
11509 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
11511 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
11512 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
11513 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11515 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
11516 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
11517 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
11520 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
11522 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
11523 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
11526 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
11527 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
11528 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
11529 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
11530 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
11532 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
11533 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
11534 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
11536 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11538 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
11540 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
11542 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
11543 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11545 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
11546 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
11547 if someone would make that last step automatic.
11548 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
11550 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
11553 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
11554 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
11555 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
11556 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
11559 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
11560 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
11561 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
11564 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
11565 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
11566 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
11567 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
11568 installed as `perl').
11569 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11571 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
11572 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11574 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
11575 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparison
11576 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
11577 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
11578 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
11581 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
11584 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
11585 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
11586 is horrible: I feel ill....
11589 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
11590 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
11591 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
11592 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
11595 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
11596 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11598 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
11599 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
11600 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
11601 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11603 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
11604 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
11605 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
11606 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
11607 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
11608 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
11610 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11612 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
11613 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11615 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
11616 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
11618 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
11621 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
11622 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
11626 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
11627 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
11628 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
11629 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
11630 to them (separated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
11631 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
11632 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
11633 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
11634 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
11635 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
11636 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11638 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
11641 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
11642 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
11643 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
11644 for linking it into DSOs.
11645 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11647 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
11651 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
11652 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
11653 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
11654 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
11655 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
11656 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11658 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
11659 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
11660 Additionally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
11661 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
11662 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
11663 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
11664 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11666 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
11667 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
11668 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
11672 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
11673 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
11674 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
11675 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
11678 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
11679 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
11680 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
11681 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
11682 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
11686 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
11687 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
11688 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
11689 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
11690 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11692 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
11693 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
11694 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11696 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
11697 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
11699 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
11700 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
11701 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
11702 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
11703 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
11706 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
11707 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
11708 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
11709 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
11710 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
11711 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
11712 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
11715 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
11717 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
11718 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
11721 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
11722 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
11724 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
11725 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
11728 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
11729 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
11730 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
11731 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
11732 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
11734 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
11735 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
11736 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
11737 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
11738 no way to reconfigure them.
11739 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
11740 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
11741 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
11742 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
11743 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
11744 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11746 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
11747 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
11748 recognized by the users.
11749 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11751 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
11752 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
11753 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
11754 already masked variable.
11755 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11757 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
11758 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11760 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
11761 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
11762 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
11763 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
11765 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
11766 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
11767 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11769 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
11770 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
11771 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
11772 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
11773 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
11774 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
11775 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
11776 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
11778 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11780 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
11781 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
11782 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
11784 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
11785 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
11789 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
11790 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
11792 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
11793 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
11794 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
11795 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
11798 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
11801 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
11802 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
11804 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
11807 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
11808 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
11811 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
11812 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
11815 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
11816 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
11817 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
11818 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
11819 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
11820 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
11821 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
11824 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
11825 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11827 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
11828 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
11829 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
11830 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
11831 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11833 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
11834 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
11835 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
11838 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
11839 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
11843 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
11844 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
11845 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
11847 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
11848 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
11849 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
11850 build instructions.
11853 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
11854 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
11855 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
11856 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
11859 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
11860 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
11861 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
11862 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
11865 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
11866 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
11867 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
11868 so it wasn't spotted.
11869 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
11871 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
11872 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
11873 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
11874 vectors if you have them.
11877 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
11878 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
11881 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
11882 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
11883 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
11884 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
11886 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
11887 it will update them.
11890 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
11891 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
11892 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
11893 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
11894 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
11895 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
11896 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
11897 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11899 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
11900 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
11901 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
11902 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
11903 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
11904 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
11905 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
11906 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
11907 the crypto/md/ stuff).
11908 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
11910 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
11911 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
11912 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
11913 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
11914 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
11917 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
11921 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
11922 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11924 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
11925 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
11927 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
11928 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
11931 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
11932 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
11934 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
11935 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
11937 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
11940 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
11944 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
11945 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
11946 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
11947 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
11949 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11952 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
11955 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
11958 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
11959 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
11962 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
11963 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
11967 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
11968 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
11971 *) Takes a deep breath and start adding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
11972 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
11973 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
11976 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
11977 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
11978 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
11979 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
11980 properly to be processed.
11983 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
11984 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
11985 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
11988 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
11989 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
11991 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
11992 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
11993 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
11994 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
11995 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
11996 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
11997 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
11998 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
11999 or delete all the .err files.
12002 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
12003 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
12004 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
12005 to regenerate it if needed.
12006 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
12007 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
12009 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
12010 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12012 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
12013 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
12014 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
12015 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
12016 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
12019 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
12020 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12022 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
12023 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12025 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
12026 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
12027 error, but didn't set one).
12028 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12030 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
12033 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
12034 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
12037 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
12038 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
12040 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
12041 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
12042 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
12043 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
12044 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
12045 OID is not part of the table.
12048 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
12049 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
12052 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
12055 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
12056 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
12060 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
12061 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
12063 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
12065 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12067 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
12068 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12070 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
12071 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
12073 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
12074 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
12076 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
12077 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
12080 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
12081 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
12084 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
12085 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12087 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
12088 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12090 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
12091 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12093 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
12094 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
12096 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
12097 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
12098 unused in the certificate verification process.
12099 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12101 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
12102 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
12105 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
12106 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
12107 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
12109 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
12110 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
12111 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
12112 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
12113 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
12115 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
12116 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
12119 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
12122 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
12125 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
12126 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
12128 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
12131 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
12134 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
12137 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
12138 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
12139 other error libraries.
12142 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
12145 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length constructed
12146 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
12150 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
12151 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
12152 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
12153 the new set of documentation files.
12154 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12156 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
12157 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
12158 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
12159 number of arguments.
12160 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
12162 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
12165 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
12166 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
12167 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
12169 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
12172 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
12176 unixware-2.0-pentium
12180 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
12181 before they are needed.
12184 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
12188 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
12190 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
12191 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
12192 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12194 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
12197 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
12198 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
12199 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12201 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
12202 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
12203 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
12205 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
12206 when "ssleay" is still not found.
12207 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12209 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
12210 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
12212 *) Updated the README file.
12213 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12215 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
12216 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
12217 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12219 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
12220 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
12221 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12223 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
12224 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
12225 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
12226 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
12227 o removed obsolete TODO file
12228 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
12229 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12231 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
12232 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
12233 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

12236 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
12237 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
12239 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
12242 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
12243 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
12244 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
12246 [The OpenSSL Project]
12249 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
12251 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
12254 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
12257 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
12258 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
12261 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
12262 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
12266 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
12268 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
12270 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
12273 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
12276 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
12279 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
12282 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
12285 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
12288 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
12291 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
12294 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
12297 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
12300 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
12303 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
12306 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
12309 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
12312 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
12315 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
12318 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
12321 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
12322 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
12323 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
12326 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
12327 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
12330 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
12333 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
12336 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
12337 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
12340 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
12343 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
12346 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
12347 bytes sent in the client random.
