5 Changes between 0.9.8k and 1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
8 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
9 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
12 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
13 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
14 several cryptographic weaknesses. The algorithm is also disabled in
15 the default configuration.
18 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
19 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
20 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
21 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
22 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
23 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
24 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
25 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
28 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
29 OPENSSL_asc2uni the original names were too generic and cause name
31 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
33 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
34 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
36 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
40 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
41 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
42 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
43 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
44 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
45 attempting to work them out.
48 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
49 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
50 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
51 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
54 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
55 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
56 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
57 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
58 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
61 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
62 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
69 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
71 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
75 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
76 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
78 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
79 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
81 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
82 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
83 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
84 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
85 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
88 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
89 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
90 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
93 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
94 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
97 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
98 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
100 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
101 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
104 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
107 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
108 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
109 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
113 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
114 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
115 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
116 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
117 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
118 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
121 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
122 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
124 This work was sponsored by Google.
127 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
128 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
129 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
130 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
131 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
132 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
133 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
136 This work was sponsored by Google.
139 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
141 This work was sponsored by Google.
144 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
145 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
146 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
147 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
149 This work was sponsored by Google.
152 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
153 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
154 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
155 CRL functionality in future.
157 This work was sponsored by Google.
160 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
162 This work was sponsored by Google.
165 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
166 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
168 This work was sponsored by Google.
171 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
172 and URI types are currently supported.
174 This work was sponsored by Google.
177 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
178 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
179 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
180 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
181 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
182 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
183 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
184 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
186 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
187 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
188 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
190 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
191 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
192 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
193 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
195 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
196 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
197 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
198 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
199 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
200 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
201 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
202 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
204 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
206 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
207 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
208 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
210 This work was sponsored by Google.
213 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
216 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
217 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
218 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
221 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
222 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
225 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
226 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
229 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
230 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
231 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
232 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
233 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
234 content types and variants.
237 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
240 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
241 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
242 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
243 files from the associated perl scripts.
246 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
247 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
248 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
250 *) s390x assembler pack.
253 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
257 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
258 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
259 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
260 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
261 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
262 to use. For example, specify an option
264 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
266 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
267 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
268 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
269 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
270 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
271 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
273 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
274 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
275 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
276 return non-zero for success.
278 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
281 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
282 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
286 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
289 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
290 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
291 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
292 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
293 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
294 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
295 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
296 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
297 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
299 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
300 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
301 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
302 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
303 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
304 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
306 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
307 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
308 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
309 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
310 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
311 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
315 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
318 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
320 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
321 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
322 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
325 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
326 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
329 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
330 protection in servers so again support should be possible
331 with no application modification.
333 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
334 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
336 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
337 or server extensions to be examined.
339 This work was sponsored by Google.
342 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
343 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
344 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
346 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
347 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
349 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
351 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
352 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
353 to output in BER and PEM format.
356 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
357 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
358 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
359 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
360 -macopt options to dgst utility.
363 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
364 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
365 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
369 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
370 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
371 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
372 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
373 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
374 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
375 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
376 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
379 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
380 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
381 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
382 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
384 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
385 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
386 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
390 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
391 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
392 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
393 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
394 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
395 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
396 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
397 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
398 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
400 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
401 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
402 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
403 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
404 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
405 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
406 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
407 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
408 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
409 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
410 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
413 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
414 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
415 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
417 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
418 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
422 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
423 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
424 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
427 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
428 it yet and it is largely untested.
431 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
434 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
435 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
436 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
439 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
442 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
443 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
444 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
445 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
448 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
449 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
450 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
451 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
452 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
455 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
456 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
459 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
460 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
461 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
462 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
465 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
466 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
467 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
468 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
471 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
472 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
475 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
476 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
477 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
478 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
481 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
482 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
483 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
486 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
490 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
491 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
494 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
495 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
496 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
500 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
501 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
502 to free up any added signature OIDs.
505 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
506 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
507 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
508 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
511 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
512 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
513 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
514 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
515 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
516 the array representation useful in a more general context.
519 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
520 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
521 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
522 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
523 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
525 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
526 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
527 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
528 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
529 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
532 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
533 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
534 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
535 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
537 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
538 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
539 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
540 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
541 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
547 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
548 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
552 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
553 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
556 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
557 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
560 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
561 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
562 functional reference processing.
565 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
566 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
570 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
571 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
572 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
575 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
576 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
577 application to support multiple signers.
580 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
584 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
585 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
586 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
587 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
588 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
591 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
595 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
596 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
597 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
598 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
602 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
603 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
604 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
605 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
606 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
607 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
608 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
609 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
612 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
613 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
614 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
615 between digests and public key types.
618 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
619 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
620 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
621 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
624 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
625 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
629 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
632 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
636 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
637 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
638 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
639 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
644 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
646 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
648 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
650 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
651 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
652 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
653 functionality for RSA.
656 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
657 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
658 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
661 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
662 key API, doesn't do much yet.
665 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
666 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
667 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
670 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
671 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
674 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
675 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
678 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
679 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
683 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
684 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
685 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
689 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
690 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
691 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
692 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
693 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
694 of public and private key structures.
697 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
698 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
701 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
702 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
703 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
706 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
710 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
711 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
713 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
715 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
717 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
718 and response verification functionality.
719 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
721 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
722 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
723 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
724 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
725 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
726 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
727 server_name extension.
729 New functions (subject to change):
732 SSL_get_servername_type()
735 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
737 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
738 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
739 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
740 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
741 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
743 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
745 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
746 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
747 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
748 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
749 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
750 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
753 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
755 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
758 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
759 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
760 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
761 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
762 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
765 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
766 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
770 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
771 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
772 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
773 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
776 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
777 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
778 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
779 using the maximum available value.
782 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
783 in addition to the text details.
786 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
787 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
788 handle several customised structures at all.
791 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
792 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
793 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
796 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
799 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
800 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
801 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
804 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
805 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
806 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
809 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
810 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
814 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
817 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
820 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [xx XXX xxxx]
822 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
823 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
824 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
826 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
828 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
829 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
830 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
832 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
836 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
837 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
838 other than a simple chain.
839 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
841 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
842 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
843 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
844 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
847 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
848 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
849 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
850 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
851 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
852 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
853 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
855 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
857 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
858 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
859 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
860 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
861 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
862 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
863 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
865 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
866 parent structure is freed.
869 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
870 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
873 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
875 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
877 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
878 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
879 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
880 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
882 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
883 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
884 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
885 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
887 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
888 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
889 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
892 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
893 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
897 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
898 to handle some structures.
901 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
903 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
905 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
908 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
911 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
914 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
915 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
919 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
921 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
923 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
925 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
928 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
929 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
930 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
931 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
933 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
934 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
936 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
937 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
940 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
941 s_client and s_server.
944 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
945 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
947 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
948 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
950 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
951 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
952 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
953 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
954 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
957 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
959 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
960 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
963 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
964 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
965 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
966 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
968 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
969 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
971 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
973 *) Various precautionary measures:
975 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
977 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
978 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
979 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
981 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
982 outside the expected range.
984 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
987 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
989 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
990 the load fails. Useful for distros.
991 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
993 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
996 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
999 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1001 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1004 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1005 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1006 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1008 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1011 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1012 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1013 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1017 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1019 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1020 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1021 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1022 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1024 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1025 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1028 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1030 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1031 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1032 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1034 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1036 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1037 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1038 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1039 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1042 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1043 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1044 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1045 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1046 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1047 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1048 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1050 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1052 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1053 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1054 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1055 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1056 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1058 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1059 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1061 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1062 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1063 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1064 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1065 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1067 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1069 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1070 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1071 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1072 sets may exist with different names.
1075 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1076 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1077 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1078 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1079 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1080 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1081 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1082 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1083 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1085 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1087 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1088 implemention in the following ways:
1090 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1093 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1094 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1095 ignored for embedded content.
1097 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1098 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1101 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1102 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1103 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1104 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1106 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1107 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1110 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1111 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1114 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1115 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1116 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1117 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1118 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1119 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1123 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1124 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1125 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1129 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1130 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1131 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1132 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1133 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1134 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
1135 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
1136 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
1138 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
1139 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
1140 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1141 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1142 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1143 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1144 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1146 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1147 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1148 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1149 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1150 to s_client and s_server.
1153 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1155 *) Fix various bugs:
1156 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1157 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1158 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1159 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1160 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1162 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1164 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1165 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1166 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1167 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1168 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1169 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1170 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1171 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1174 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1175 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1176 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1179 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1180 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1181 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1184 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1185 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1188 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1189 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1190 with no application modification.
1192 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1193 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1195 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1196 or server extensions to be examined.
1198 This work was sponsored by Google.
1201 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1202 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1203 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1204 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1205 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1206 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1207 server_name extension.
1209 New functions (subject to change):
1211 SSL_get_servername()
1212 SSL_get_servername_type()
1215 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1217 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1218 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1219 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1220 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1221 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1223 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1225 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1226 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1227 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1228 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1229 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1230 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1233 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1235 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1238 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1241 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1242 (which previously caused an internal error).
1245 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1248 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1249 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1251 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1252 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1253 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1255 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1256 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1257 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1258 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1260 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1261 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1262 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1263 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1265 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1266 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1267 information. For detailed background information, see
1268 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1269 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1270 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1271 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1272 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1273 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1274 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1275 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1276 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1277 remove a conditional branch.
1279 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1280 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1281 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1282 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1283 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1284 remains as a deprecated alias.
1286 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1287 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1288 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1289 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1291 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1292 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1293 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1294 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1295 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1296 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1297 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1298 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1300 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1302 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1303 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1304 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1305 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1306 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1307 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1308 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1309 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1310 in a different context.
1313 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1314 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1315 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1318 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1319 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1320 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1322 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1324 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1325 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1326 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1327 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1328 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1331 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1332 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1333 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1334 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1335 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1336 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1339 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1340 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1341 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1342 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1343 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1346 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1347 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1349 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1350 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1351 Improve header file function name parsing.
1354 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1355 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1358 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1360 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1361 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1362 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1364 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1365 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1367 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1368 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1370 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1371 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1372 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1374 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1375 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1376 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1377 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1378 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1379 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1380 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1381 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1382 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1384 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1385 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1386 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1387 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1388 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1390 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1391 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1392 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1393 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1394 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1395 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1396 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1397 multiple values to extend the available space.
1401 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1403 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1404 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1406 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1409 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1410 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1411 undesirable limitations.
1412 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1414 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1415 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1416 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1417 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1418 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1419 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1420 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1423 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1425 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1426 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1427 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1429 The latter two were purportedly from
1430 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1433 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1434 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1435 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1438 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1439 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1442 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1443 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1444 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1445 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1447 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1448 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1449 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1452 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1453 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1454 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1455 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1456 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1457 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1460 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1462 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1463 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1466 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1467 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1469 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1470 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1471 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1472 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1475 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1476 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1479 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1480 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1481 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1482 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1483 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1484 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1485 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1489 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1490 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1491 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1492 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1495 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1496 under VC++ build system.
1499 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1500 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1503 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1505 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1506 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1507 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1508 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1509 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1511 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1512 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1513 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1515 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1518 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1519 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1522 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1523 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1525 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1528 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1529 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1531 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1532 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1535 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1536 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1540 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1542 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1545 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1548 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1549 key into the same file any more.
1552 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1555 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1556 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1558 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1559 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1562 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1563 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1564 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1565 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1566 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1567 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1569 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1570 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1571 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1574 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1575 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1576 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1577 - add new function for parameter creation
1578 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1579 BN_BLINDING parameters
1580 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1581 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1582 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1586 *) Add support for DTLS.
1587 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1589 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1590 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1593 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1594 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1597 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1598 the apps/openssl applications.
1601 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1602 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1603 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1606 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1607 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1609 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1610 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1612 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1613 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1614 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1615 avoid this algorithm.)
1619 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1620 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1621 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1624 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1625 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1628 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1629 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1630 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1633 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1635 The blank line is mandatory.
1639 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1640 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1644 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1645 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1647 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1648 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1649 to support policy checking and print out.
1652 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1653 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1654 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1655 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1657 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1660 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1661 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1663 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1664 implementation contributed by IBM.
1665 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1667 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1668 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1669 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1670 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1672 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1673 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1675 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1676 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1677 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1678 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1679 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1680 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1683 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1684 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1685 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1686 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1687 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1688 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1689 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1692 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1695 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1696 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1697 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1698 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1699 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1700 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1701 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1702 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1705 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1706 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1707 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1708 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1711 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1714 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1717 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1718 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1719 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1720 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1721 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1722 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1723 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1726 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1727 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1730 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1731 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1732 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1735 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1736 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1737 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1741 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1742 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1745 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1746 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1747 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1748 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1751 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1752 initialised value as BN_new().
1753 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1755 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1758 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1759 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1760 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1761 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1762 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1763 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1764 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1765 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1766 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1767 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1768 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1769 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1770 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1771 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1772 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1774 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1775 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1776 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1777 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1780 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1781 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1782 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1783 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1784 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1785 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1786 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1787 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1788 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1791 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1792 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1793 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1794 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1795 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1796 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1797 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1800 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1801 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1802 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1803 these have been updated also.
1806 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1807 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1808 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1809 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1810 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1814 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1815 structure of type "other".
1818 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1819 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1820 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1821 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1822 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1823 situation in the script.
1824 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1826 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1827 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1828 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1829 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1830 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1831 used as premaster secret.
1832 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1834 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1835 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1836 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1838 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1839 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1841 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1842 control of the error stack.
1845 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1848 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1849 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1850 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1851 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1854 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1855 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1856 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1859 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1860 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1861 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1865 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1866 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1867 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1868 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1871 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1872 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1873 the following flags are defined:
1875 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1876 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1877 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1880 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1881 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1882 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1883 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1887 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1888 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1889 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1890 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1891 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1894 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1895 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1896 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1899 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1900 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1901 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1902 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1903 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1904 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1907 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1911 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1914 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
1917 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
1920 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
1921 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
1922 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
1923 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
1924 default implementation more easily.
1927 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
1931 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
1932 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
1935 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
1936 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
1937 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
1938 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
1940 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
1941 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
1942 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
1943 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
1946 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
1947 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
1951 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
1952 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
1953 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
1954 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
1955 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
1956 scalar * generator).
1957 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
1959 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
1960 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
1961 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
1965 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
1966 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
1967 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
1968 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
1969 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
1970 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
1971 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
1972 linker additions, eg;
1973 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
1976 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
1977 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
1978 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
1981 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1982 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1983 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
1987 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
1988 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
1989 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
1990 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
1993 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
1994 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
1995 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
1996 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
1997 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
1998 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
1999 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2000 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2001 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2002 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2004 Example for using the new callback interface:
2006 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2010 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2012 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2013 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2014 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2015 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2016 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2017 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2022 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2023 available to TLS with the number defined in
2024 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2027 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2028 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2030 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2031 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2032 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2033 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2035 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2036 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2038 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2039 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2043 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2044 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2047 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2048 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2049 and a macro that behave like
2050 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2052 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2055 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2056 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2057 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2059 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2061 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2064 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2065 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2066 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2067 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2069 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2070 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2071 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2072 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2073 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2074 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2075 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2076 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2078 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2079 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2082 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2083 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2085 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2086 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2087 files while avoiding the low level API.
2089 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2090 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2091 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2092 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2094 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2095 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2096 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2097 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2098 instead of the low level API.
2101 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2102 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2103 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2104 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2105 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2108 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2109 down to the template encoder.
2112 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2113 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2116 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2117 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2118 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2119 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2121 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2122 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2124 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2125 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2127 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2128 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2131 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2132 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2133 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2136 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2137 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2139 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2140 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2142 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2143 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2146 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2150 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2151 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2152 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2153 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2154 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2155 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2157 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2158 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2161 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2162 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2163 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2164 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2165 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2166 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2167 various internal method names.)
2169 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2170 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2172 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2173 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2175 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2176 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2178 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2179 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2180 methods are undefined.
2182 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2183 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2185 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2186 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2187 length of the modulus.
2189 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2190 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2192 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2193 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2195 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2196 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2198 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2199 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2200 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2203 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2204 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2205 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2206 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2208 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2209 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2210 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2211 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2213 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2214 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2216 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2217 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2218 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2219 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2220 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2222 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2223 This applies to the following functions:
2228 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2229 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2231 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2232 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2236 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2241 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2243 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2244 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2245 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2246 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2247 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2249 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2250 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2252 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2253 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2254 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2256 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2257 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2259 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2260 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2261 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2262 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2263 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2265 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2267 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2268 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2269 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2270 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2271 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2272 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2273 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2274 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2275 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2276 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2277 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2278 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2280 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2283 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2284 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2285 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2286 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2288 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2289 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2290 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2291 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2296 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2297 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2298 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2299 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2300 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2302 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2303 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2304 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2305 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2306 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2307 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2308 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2309 adding different types of curves.
2310 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2312 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2313 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2314 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2317 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2318 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2320 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2321 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2322 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2323 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2325 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2327 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2328 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2330 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2331 library. Most notably,
2332 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2333 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2334 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2335 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2336 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2337 extracted before the specific public key;
2338 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2339 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2341 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2342 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2344 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2345 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2346 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2347 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2349 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2350 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2351 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2353 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2354 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2355 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2356 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2357 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2358 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2362 Changes between 0.9.7m and 0.9.7n [xx XXX xxxx]
2364 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2365 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2366 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2367 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2368 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2369 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2370 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2371 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2372 in a different context.
2375 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2377 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2379 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2381 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2382 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2383 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2386 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2387 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2388 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2391 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2394 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2395 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2398 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2399 run algorithm test programs.
2402 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2405 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2406 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2407 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2408 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2409 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2412 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2413 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2416 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2418 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2419 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2420 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2422 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2423 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2425 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2426 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2428 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2429 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2430 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2432 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2433 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2434 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2435 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2436 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2437 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2438 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2441 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2443 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2444 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2446 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2447 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2448 undesirable limitations.
2449 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2451 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2453 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2454 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2455 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2457 The latter two were purportedly from
2458 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2461 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2462 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2463 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2466 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2467 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2470 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2472 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2473 module in FIPS mode.
2476 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2479 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2480 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2481 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2482 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2485 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2487 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2488 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2489 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2490 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2491 the difference induced by this change.
2494 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2496 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2497 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2498 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2499 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2500 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2502 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2503 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2504 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2506 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2507 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2510 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2511 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2512 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2513 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2517 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2518 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2519 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2520 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2521 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2523 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2524 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2525 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2526 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2527 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2528 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2530 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2532 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2533 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2534 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2535 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2536 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2539 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2543 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2544 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2545 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2548 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2549 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2550 structures constant.
2553 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2555 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2558 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2559 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2560 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2561 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2562 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2563 some needed definitions.
2566 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2569 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2570 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2571 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2572 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2575 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2577 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2578 server and client random values. Previously
2579 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2580 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2582 This change has negligible security impact because:
2584 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2587 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2590 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2591 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2594 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2597 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2599 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2602 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2603 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2604 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2606 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2609 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2610 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2613 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2614 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2615 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2617 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2620 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2621 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2622 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2626 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2627 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2628 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2629 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2631 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2632 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2633 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2634 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2638 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2640 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2641 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2642 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2643 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2644 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2647 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2650 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2651 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2653 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2654 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2655 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2656 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2657 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2658 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2659 rather than being initialized to 1.
2662 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2664 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2665 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2666 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2668 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2670 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2672 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2673 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2674 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2675 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2676 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2677 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2680 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2681 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2682 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2683 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2684 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2688 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2689 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2690 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2691 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2692 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2695 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2696 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2697 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2701 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2702 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2704 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2707 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2709 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2711 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2712 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2714 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2716 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2717 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2721 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2722 exiting on the first error in a request.
2725 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2726 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2730 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2731 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2732 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2733 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2735 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2736 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2739 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2740 blocks during encryption.
2743 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2744 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2745 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2746 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2750 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2751 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2752 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2753 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2754 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2758 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2760 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2761 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2762 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2763 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2766 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2767 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2768 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2769 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2770 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2772 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2773 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2774 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2775 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2776 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2777 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2778 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2779 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2780 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2783 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2784 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2785 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2786 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2789 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2790 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2793 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2795 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2796 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2797 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2798 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2799 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2801 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2802 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2803 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2805 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2806 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2807 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2808 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2809 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2811 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2812 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2813 used by default when no-err is given.
2816 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2817 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2819 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2820 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2821 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2822 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2823 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2825 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2826 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2827 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2828 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2830 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2832 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2834 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2836 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2837 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2838 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2839 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2843 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2844 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2846 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2847 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2850 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2851 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2852 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2853 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2856 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2857 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2858 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2859 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2860 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2861 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2862 followup to PR #377.
2865 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2866 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2869 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2870 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2871 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2889 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
2893 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2894 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2895 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2896 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2897 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2898 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2900 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2901 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2902 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2903 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2904 have to be made anyway).
2907 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2908 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2909 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2912 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2913 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2914 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2917 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2918 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2919 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

2957 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
2958 representations in a platform independent manner.

3015 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.

3034 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3035 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3037 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3038 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3039 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3040 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3042 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3043 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3044 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3047 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3048 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3049 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3050 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3051 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3052 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3053 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3054 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3057 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3058 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3059 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3062 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3063 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3064 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3065 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3066 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3068 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3069 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3071 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3072 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3075 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3076 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3077 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3078 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3079 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3080 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3083 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3084 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3085 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3088 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3089 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3092 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3093 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3094 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3095 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3096 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3097 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3098 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3101 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3102 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3103 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3104 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3105 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3106 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3109 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3110 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3111 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3112 declaration has been changed from
3115 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3116 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3117 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3118 has been changed into
3119 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3121 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3122 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3123 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3125 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3126 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3128 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3129 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3130 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3131 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3132 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3133 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3134 always load it have also been added.
3137 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3138 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3139 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3141 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3143 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3144 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3145 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3147 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3148 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3149 command line option can be used to specify an
3153 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3154 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3157 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3158 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3159 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3162 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3163 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3164 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3165 to work with the new engine framework.
3166 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3168 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3169 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3170 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3171 to work with the new engine framework.
3174 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3175 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3176 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3178 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3179 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3181 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3182 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3183 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3184 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3186 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3188 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3189 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3191 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3192 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3194 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3195 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3196 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3199 *) Add new functions
3201 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3202 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3203 These are similar to
3206 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3207 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3208 still in the error queue.
3209 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3211 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3213 default_algorithms = ALL
3214 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3217 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3220 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3223 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3224 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3225 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3226 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3228 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3229 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3231 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3232 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3234 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3235 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3238 *) New functions/macros
3240 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3241 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3242 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3243 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3245 to request calling a callback function
3247 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3248 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3250 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3251 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3252 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3253 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3254 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3255 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3256 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3257 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3258 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3259 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3261 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3262 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3265 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3266 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3267 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3268 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3269 the configuration scripts.
3271 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3272 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3273 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3275 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3276 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3278 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3279 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3280 when reusing an existing buffer.
3283 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3284 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3287 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3288 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3291 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3292 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3293 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3294 has the same effect.
3295 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3297 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3298 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3299 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3300 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3301 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3302 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3305 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3306 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3307 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3308 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3310 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3311 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3312 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3313 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3315 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3316 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3319 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3320 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3321 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3322 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3323 default), and then completely removed.
3326 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3327 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3328 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3329 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3330 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3331 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3332 particular extension is supported.
3335 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3336 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3339 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3340 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3341 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3342 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3343 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3344 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3345 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3346 requires the destination to be valid.
3348 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3349 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3352 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3353 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3354 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3357 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3358 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3360 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3361 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3362 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3363 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3364 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3365 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3366 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3367 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3368 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3369 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3370 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3371 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3372 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3373 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3374 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3375 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3376 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3377 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3378 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3382 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3385 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3386 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3387 become part of libeay.num as well.
3390 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3391 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3392 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3393 false once a handshake has been completed.
3394 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3395 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3396 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3397 client has followed the request.)
3400 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3401 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3402 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3403 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3405 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3406 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3407 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3410 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3413 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3414 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3415 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3418 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3419 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3422 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3423 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3424 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3425 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3428 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3429 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3430 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3431 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3432 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3433 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3436 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3437 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3438 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3439 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3440 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3441 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3442 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3443 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3446 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3447 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3450 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3453 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3454 md_data void pointer.
3457 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3458 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3459 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3460 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3461 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3462 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3465 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3466 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3467 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3468 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3469 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3470 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3471 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3472 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3473 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3474 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3475 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3476 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3477 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3478 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3479 rather than letting it slide.
3481 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3482 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3483 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3486 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3487 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3488 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3489 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3490 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3491 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3492 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3493 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3494 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3497 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3498 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3499 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3500 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3501 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3503 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3506 *) Add EVP test program.
3509 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3512 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3513 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3514 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3515 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3516 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3519 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3520 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3521 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3522 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3523 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3524 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3525 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3527 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3528 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3529 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3534 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3535 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3536 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3537 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3538 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3542 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3543 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3544 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3545 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3548 des_key_schedule ks;
3550 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3551 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3553 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3556 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3557 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3558 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3559 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3560 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3561 functions prevents this.
3564 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3567 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3568 correct _ecb suffix.
3571 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3572 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3573 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3574 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3575 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3578 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3581 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3582 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3583 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3584 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3586 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3587 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3589 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.

3592 via Richard Levitte]
3594 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3595 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3596 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3597 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3600 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3603 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3604 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3618 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3619 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3621 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3622 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3623 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3624 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3625 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3626 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3629 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3630 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3633 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3634 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3635 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3636 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3638 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3639 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3640 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3641 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3642 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3643 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3647 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3648 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3649 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3650 and interrupts/cancellations.
3653 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3654 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3657 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3658 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3659 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3661 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3662 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3666 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3667 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3668 than this minimum value is recommended.
3671 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3672 that are easily reachable.
3675 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3676 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3678 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3680 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3681 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3682 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3683 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3686 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3687 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3688 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3691 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3692 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3693 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3694 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3695 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3696 internally such as S/MIME.
3698 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3699 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3700 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3702 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3706 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3707 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3708 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3709 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3711 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3713 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3715 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3716 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3717 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3721 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3722 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3723 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3724 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3725 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3726 a window system and the like.
3729 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3730 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3733 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3734 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3735 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3736 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3737 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3738 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3739 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3740 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3741 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3745 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3746 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3750 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3751 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3752 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3753 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3754 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3755 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3756 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3757 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3760 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3761 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3762 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3763 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3764 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3765 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3766 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3767 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3768 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3769 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3770 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3771 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3772 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3773 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3774 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3775 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3776 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3779 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3780 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3781 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3782 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3783 internal engine_int.h header.
3786 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3787 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3788 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3789 modify their own ones).
3792 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3793 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3794 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3795 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3796 later on via ctrl() commands.
3797 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3798 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3799 structural references.
3800 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3801 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3802 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3803 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3804 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3805 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3806 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3807 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3808 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3809 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3810 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3811 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3814 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3815 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3816 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3817 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3818 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3819 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3820 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3821 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3824 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3825 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3828 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3829 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3832 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3833 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3834 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3835 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3836 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3837 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3838 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3841 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3842 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3843 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3844 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3845 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3847 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3848 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3852 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3854 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3855 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3856 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3858 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3859 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3861 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3862 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3863 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3865 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3866 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3868 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3869 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3871 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3873 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3874 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3875 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3878 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3879 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3882 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3883 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3884 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3885 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3886 is 40 of more characters long.
3889 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3890 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3894 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3895 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3898 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3899 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3903 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3905 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3906 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3909 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3911 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3912 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3913 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3915 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3916 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3918 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3921 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3925 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3926 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3927 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3928 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
3930 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
3932 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
3933 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
3935 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
3936 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
3937 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
3938 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
3939 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
3940 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
3942 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
3943 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
3945 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
3946 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3948 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
3949 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
3951 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
3952 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
3953 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
3954 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
3956 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
3957 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
3959 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
3960 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
3962 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
3963 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
3964 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
3965 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
3966 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
3969 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
3970 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
3971 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
3972 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
3975 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
3976 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
3977 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
3981 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
3982 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
3983 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
3984 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
3985 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
3986 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
3987 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
3988 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
3992 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
3993 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
3996 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
3997 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
3998 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
3999 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4002 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4003 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4004 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4005 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4006 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4007 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4008 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4009 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4010 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4011 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4014 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4015 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4016 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4017 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4018 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4019 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4020 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4021 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4023 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4024 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4025 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4026 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4029 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4030 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4031 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4032 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4034 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4035 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4036 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4037 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4038 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4042 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4043 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4044 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4045 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4049 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4050 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4051 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4054 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4055 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4056 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4057 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4058 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4061 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4064 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4065 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4066 option to ocsp utility.
4069 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4070 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4071 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4072 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4073 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4074 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4075 the request is nonce-less.
4078 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4079 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4080 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4083 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4084 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4085 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4088 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4089 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4090 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4091 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4092 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4095 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4096 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4100 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4101 additional certificates supplied.
4104 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4105 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4109 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4110 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4113 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4114 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4115 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4116 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4117 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4118 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4119 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4120 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4121 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4123 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4124 request to response.
4127 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4128 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4129 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4130 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4131 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4132 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4133 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4134 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4135 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4136 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4137 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4140 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4141 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4142 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4143 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4146 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4147 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4149 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4150 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4151 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4154 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4155 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4156 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.

4158 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4160 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4161 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4162 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4165 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4166 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4167 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4168 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4169 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4170 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4171 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4172 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4174 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4175 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4176 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4177 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4178 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4179 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4182 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4183 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4184 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4185 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4186 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4187 printout format cleaned up.
4190 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4191 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4192 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4193 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4194 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4195 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4196 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4197 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4200 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4201 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4202 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4203 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4204 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4205 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4206 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4207 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4210 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4211 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4212 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4213 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4215 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4217 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4218 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4219 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4220 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4223 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4224 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4225 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4226 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4228 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4230 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4231 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4232 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4233 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4235 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4236 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4238 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4239 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4240 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4243 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4244 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4245 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4248 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4249 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4250 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4251 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4252 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4253 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4254 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4255 functions are provided:
4257 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4258 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4259 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4260 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4262 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4263 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4264 extended allocation function is enabled.
4265 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4266 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4267 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4269 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4270 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4271 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4272 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4273 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4276 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4277 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4278 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4280 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4281 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4282 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4285 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4286 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4287 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4288 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4289 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4290 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4291 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4292 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4293 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4296 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4297 provide utility functions which an application needing
4298 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4299 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4300 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4302 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4303 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4304 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4305 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4306 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4307 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4308 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4309 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4310 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4312 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4313 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4314 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4315 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4318 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4319 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4320 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4321 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4322 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4323 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4324 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4325 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4326 will be added elsewhere.
4329 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4330 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4331 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4332 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4335 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4336 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4337 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4338 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4339 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4340 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4341 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4342 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4343 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4344 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4345 to produce the required SET OF.
4348 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4349 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4350 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4353 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4354 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4355 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
