5 Changes between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
9 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
11 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
13 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
15 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
16 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
18 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
19 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
22 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
23 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
24 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
25 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
27 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
28 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
29 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
30 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
32 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
33 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
34 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
36 *) Use algorithm specific chains in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file():
37 this fixes a limiation in previous versions of OpenSSL.
40 *) Experimental encrypt-then-mac support.
42 Experimental support for encrypt then mac from
43 draft-gutmann-tls-encrypt-then-mac-02.txt
45 To enable it set the appropriate extension number (0x42 for the test
46 server) using e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_encrypt_then_mac=0x42
48 For non-compliant peers (i.e. just about everything) this should have no
51 WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
55 *) Add callbacks supporting generation and retrieval of supplemental
57 [Scott Deboy <sdeboy@apache.org>, Trevor Perrin and Ben Laurie]
59 *) Add EVP support for key wrapping algorithms, to avoid problems with
60 existing code the flag EVP_CIPHER_CTX_WRAP_ALLOW has to be set in
61 the EVP_CIPHER_CTX or an error is returned. Add AES and DES3 wrap
62 algorithms and include tests cases.
65 *) Extend CMS code to support RSA-PSS signatures and RSA-OAEP for
69 *) Extended RSA OAEP support via EVP_PKEY API. Options to specify digest,
70 MGF1 digest and OAEP label.
73 *) Support for DTLS 1.2. This adds two sets of DTLS methods: DTLS_*_method()
74 supports both DTLS 1.2 and 1.0 and should use whatever version the peer
75 supports and DTLSv1_2_*_method() which supports DTLS 1.2 only.
78 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
79 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
81 *) New function ASN1_TIME_diff to calculate the difference between two
82 ASN1_TIME structures or one structure and the current time.
85 *) Update fips_test_suite to support multiple command line options. New
86 test to induce all self test errors in sequence and check expected
90 *) Add FIPS_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa}_{sign,verify} functions which digest and
91 sign or verify all in one operation.
94 *) Add fips_algvs: a multicall fips utility incorporaing all the algorithm
95 test programs and fips_test_suite. Includes functionality to parse
96 the minimal script output of fipsalgest.pl directly.
99 *) Add authorisation parameter to FIPS_module_mode_set().
102 *) Add FIPS selftest for ECDH algorithm using P-224 and B-233 curves.
105 *) Use separate DRBG fields for internal and external flags. New function
106 FIPS_drbg_health_check() to perform on demand health checking. Add
107 generation tests to fips_test_suite with reduced health check interval to
108 demonstrate periodic health checking. Add "nodh" option to
109 fips_test_suite to skip very slow DH test.
112 *) New function FIPS_get_cipherbynid() to lookup FIPS supported ciphers
116 *) More extensive health check for DRBG checking many more failure modes.
117 New function FIPS_selftest_drbg_all() to handle every possible DRBG
118 combination: call this in fips_test_suite.
121 *) Add support for Dual EC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test
122 and POST to handle Dual EC cases.
125 *) Add support for canonical generation of DSA parameter 'g'. See
128 *) Add support for HMAC DRBG from SP800-90. Update DRBG algorithm test and
129 POST to handle HMAC cases.
132 *) Add functions FIPS_module_version() and FIPS_module_version_text()
133 to return numerical and string versions of the FIPS module number.
136 *) Rename FIPS_mode_set and FIPS_mode to FIPS_module_mode_set and
137 FIPS_module_mode. FIPS_mode and FIPS_mode_set will be implemented
138 outside the validated module in the FIPS capable OpenSSL.
141 *) Minor change to DRBG entropy callback semantics. In some cases
142 there is no multiple of the block length between min_len and
143 max_len. Allow the callback to return more than max_len bytes
144 of entropy but discard any extra: it is the callback's responsibility
145 to ensure that the extra data discarded does not impact the
146 requested amount of entropy.
149 *) Add PRNG security strength checks to RSA, DSA and ECDSA using
150 information in FIPS186-3, SP800-57 and SP800-131A.
153 *) CCM support via EVP. Interface is very similar to GCM case except we
154 must supply all data in one chunk (i.e. no update, final) and the
155 message length must be supplied if AAD is used. Add algorithm test
159 *) Initial version of POST overhaul. Add POST callback to allow the status
160 of POST to be monitored and/or failures induced. Modify fips_test_suite
161 to use callback. Always run all selftests even if one fails.
164 *) XTS support including algorithm test driver in the fips_gcmtest program.
165 Note: this does increase the maximum key length from 32 to 64 bytes but
166 there should be no binary compatibility issues as existing applications
167 will never use XTS mode.
170 *) Extensive reorganisation of FIPS PRNG behaviour. Remove all dependencies
171 to OpenSSL RAND code and replace with a tiny FIPS RAND API which also
172 performs algorithm blocking for unapproved PRNG types. Also do not
173 set PRNG type in FIPS_mode_set(): leave this to the application.
174 Add default OpenSSL DRBG handling: sets up FIPS PRNG and seeds with
175 the standard OpenSSL PRNG: set additional data to a date time vector.
178 *) Rename old X9.31 PRNG functions of the form FIPS_rand* to FIPS_x931*.
179 This shouldn't present any incompatibility problems because applications
180 shouldn't be using these directly and any that are will need to rethink
181 anyway as the X9.31 PRNG is now deprecated by FIPS 140-2
184 *) Extensive self tests and health checking required by SP800-90 DRBG.
185 Remove strength parameter from FIPS_drbg_instantiate and always
186 instantiate at maximum supported strength.
189 *) Add ECDH code to fips module and fips_ecdhvs for primitives only testing.
192 *) New algorithm test program fips_dhvs to handle DH primitives only testing.
195 *) New function DH_compute_key_padded() to compute a DH key and pad with
196 leading zeroes if needed: this complies with SP800-56A et al.
199 *) Initial implementation of SP800-90 DRBGs for Hash and CTR. Not used by
200 anything, incomplete, subject to change and largely untested at present.
203 *) Modify fipscanisteronly build option to only build the necessary object
204 files by filtering FIPS_EX_OBJ through a perl script in crypto/Makefile.
207 *) Add experimental option FIPSSYMS to give all symbols in
208 fipscanister.o and FIPS or fips prefix. This will avoid
209 conflicts with future versions of OpenSSL. Add perl script
210 util/fipsas.pl to preprocess assembly language source files
211 and rename any affected symbols.
214 *) Add selftest checks and algorithm block of non-fips algorithms in
215 FIPS mode. Remove DES2 from selftests.
218 *) Add ECDSA code to fips module. Add tiny fips_ecdsa_check to just
219 return internal method without any ENGINE dependencies. Add new
220 tiny fips sign and verify functions.
223 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
226 *) New build option "fipscanisteronly". This only builds fipscanister.o
227 and (currently) associated fips utilities. Uses the file Makefile.fips
228 instead of Makefile.org as the prototype.
231 *) Add some FIPS mode restrictions to GCM. Add internal IV generator.
232 Update fips_gcmtest to use IV generator.
235 *) Initial, experimental EVP support for AES-GCM. AAD can be input by
236 setting output buffer to NULL. The *Final function must be
237 called although it will not retrieve any additional data. The tag
238 can be set or retrieved with a ctrl. The IV length is by default 12
239 bytes (96 bits) but can be set to an alternative value. If the IV
240 length exceeds the maximum IV length (currently 16 bytes) it cannot be
244 *) New flag in ciphers: EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER. This means the
245 underlying do_cipher function handles all cipher semantics itself
246 including padding and finalisation. This is useful if (for example)
247 an ENGINE cipher handles block padding itself. The behaviour of
248 do_cipher is subtly changed if this flag is set: the return value
249 is the number of characters written to the output buffer (zero is
250 no longer an error code) or a negative error code. Also if the
251 input buffer is NULL and length 0 finalisation should be performed.
254 *) If a candidate issuer certificate is already part of the constructed
255 path ignore it: new debug notification X509_V_ERR_PATH_LOOP for this case.
258 *) Improve forward-security support: add functions
260 void SSL_CTX_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
261 void SSL_set_not_resumable_session_callback(SSL *ssl, int (*cb)(SSL *ssl, int is_forward_secure))
263 for use by SSL/TLS servers; the callback function will be called whenever a
264 new session is created, and gets to decide whether the session may be
265 cached to make it resumable (return 0) or not (return 1). (As by the
266 SSL/TLS protocol specifications, the session_id sent by the server will be
267 empty to indicate that the session is not resumable; also, the server will
268 not generate RFC 4507 (RFC 5077) session tickets.)
270 A simple reasonable callback implementation is to return is_forward_secure.
271 This parameter will be set to 1 or 0 depending on the ciphersuite selected
272 by the SSL/TLS server library, indicating whether it can provide forward
274 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
276 *) New -verify_name option in command line utilities to set verification
280 *) Initial CMAC implementation. WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, API MAY CHANGE.
281 Add CMAC pkey methods.
284 *) Experimental regnegotiation in s_server -www mode. If the client
285 browses /reneg connection is renegotiated. If /renegcert it is
286 renegotiated requesting a certificate.
289 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
290 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
291 multi-process servers.
294 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
295 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
296 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
297 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
298 RAND_METHOD structure.
301 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
302 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
303 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
304 whose return value is often ignored.
307 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.2 [xx XXX xxxx]
309 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
310 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
311 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
314 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
316 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
317 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
318 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
319 is at least 512 bytes long.
321 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
323 *) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
325 [Douglas E. Engert, Steve Henson]
327 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
328 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
329 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
330 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
331 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
332 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
333 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
335 *) New functions OPENSSL_gmtime_diff and ASN1_TIME_diff to find the
336 difference in days and seconds between two tm or ASN1_TIME structures.
339 *) Add -rev test option to s_server to just reverse order of characters
340 received by client and send back to server. Also prints an abbreviated
341 summary of the connection parameters.
344 *) New option -brief for s_client and s_server to print out a brief summary
345 of connection parameters.
348 *) Add callbacks for arbitrary TLS extensions.
349 [Trevor Perrin <trevp@trevp.net> and Ben Laurie]
351 *) New option -crl_download in several openssl utilities to download CRLs
352 from CRLDP extension in certificates.
355 *) New options -CRL and -CRLform for s_client and s_server for CRLs.
358 *) New function X509_CRL_diff to generate a delta CRL from the difference
359 of two full CRLs. Add support to "crl" utility.
362 *) New functions to set lookup_crls function and to retrieve
363 X509_STORE from X509_STORE_CTX.
366 *) Print out deprecated issuer and subject unique ID fields in
370 *) Extend OCSP I/O functions so they can be used for simple general purpose
371 HTTP as well as OCSP. New wrapper function which can be used to download
372 CRLs using the OCSP API.
375 *) Delegate command line handling in s_client/s_server to SSL_CONF APIs.
378 *) SSL_CONF* functions. These provide a common framework for application
379 configuration using configuration files or command lines.
382 *) SSL/TLS tracing code. This parses out SSL/TLS records using the
383 message callback and prints the results. Needs compile time option
384 "enable-ssl-trace". New options to s_client and s_server to enable
388 *) New ctrl and macro to retrieve supported points extensions.
389 Print out extension in s_server and s_client.
392 *) New functions to retrieve certificate signature and signature
396 *) Add functions to retrieve and manipulate the raw cipherlist sent by a
400 *) New Suite B modes for TLS code. These use and enforce the requirements
401 of RFC6460: restrict ciphersuites, only permit Suite B algorithms and
402 only use Suite B curves. The Suite B modes can be set by using the
403 strings "SUITEB128", "SUITEB192" or "SUITEB128ONLY" for the cipherstring.
406 *) New chain verification flags for Suite B levels of security. Check
407 algorithms are acceptable when flags are set in X509_verify_cert.
410 *) Make tls1_check_chain return a set of flags indicating checks passed
411 by a certificate chain. Add additional tests to handle client
412 certificates: checks for matching certificate type and issuer name
416 *) If an attempt is made to use a signature algorithm not in the peer
417 preference list abort the handshake. If client has no suitable
418 signature algorithms in response to a certificate request do not
422 *) If server EC tmp key is not in client preference list abort handshake.
425 *) Add support for certificate stores in CERT structure. This makes it
426 possible to have different stores per SSL structure or one store in
427 the parent SSL_CTX. Include distint stores for certificate chain
428 verification and chain building. New ctrl SSL_CTRL_BUILD_CERT_CHAIN
429 to build and store a certificate chain in CERT structure: returing
430 an error if the chain cannot be built: this will allow applications
431 to test if a chain is correctly configured.
433 Note: if the CERT based stores are not set then the parent SSL_CTX
434 store is used to retain compatibility with existing behaviour.
438 *) New function ssl_set_client_disabled to set a ciphersuite disabled
439 mask based on the current session, check mask when sending client
440 hello and checking the requested ciphersuite.
443 *) New ctrls to retrieve and set certificate types in a certificate
444 request message. Print out received values in s_client. If certificate
445 types is not set with custom values set sensible values based on
446 supported signature algorithms.
449 *) Support for distinct client and server supported signature algorithms.
452 *) Add certificate callback. If set this is called whenever a certificate
453 is required by client or server. An application can decide which
454 certificate chain to present based on arbitrary criteria: for example
455 supported signature algorithms. Add very simple example to s_server.
456 This fixes many of the problems and restrictions of the existing client
457 certificate callback: for example you can now clear an existing
458 certificate and specify the whole chain.
461 *) Add new "valid_flags" field to CERT_PKEY structure which determines what
462 the certificate can be used for (if anything). Set valid_flags field
463 in new tls1_check_chain function. Simplify ssl_set_cert_masks which used
464 to have similar checks in it.
466 Add new "cert_flags" field to CERT structure and include a "strict mode".
467 This enforces some TLS certificate requirements (such as only permitting
468 certificate signature algorithms contained in the supported algorithms
469 extension) which some implementations ignore: this option should be used
470 with caution as it could cause interoperability issues.
473 *) Update and tidy signature algorithm extension processing. Work out
474 shared signature algorithms based on preferences and peer algorithms
475 and print them out in s_client and s_server. Abort handshake if no
476 shared signature algorithms.
479 *) Add new functions to allow customised supported signature algorithms
480 for SSL and SSL_CTX structures. Add options to s_client and s_server
484 *) New function SSL_certs_clear() to delete all references to certificates
485 from an SSL structure. Before this once a certificate had been added
486 it couldn't be removed.
489 *) Integrate hostname, email address and IP address checking with certificate
490 verification. New verify options supporting checking in opensl utility.
493 *) Fixes and wildcard matching support to hostname and email checking
494 functions. Add manual page.
495 [Florian Weimer (Red Hat Product Security Team)]
497 *) New functions to check a hostname email or IP address against a
498 certificate. Add options x509 utility to print results of checks against
502 *) Fix OCSP checking.
503 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com> and Ben Laurie]
505 *) Initial experimental support for explicitly trusted non-root CAs.
506 OpenSSL still tries to build a complete chain to a root but if an
507 intermediate CA has a trust setting included that is used. The first
508 setting is used: whether to trust (e.g., -addtrust option to the x509
512 *) Add -trusted_first option which attempts to find certificates in the
513 trusted store even if an untrusted chain is also supplied.
516 *) MIPS assembly pack updates: support for MIPS32r2 and SmartMIPS ASE,
517 platform support for Linux and Android.
520 *) Support for linux-x32, ILP32 environment in x86_64 framework.
523 *) RFC 5878 (TLS Authorization Extensions) support.
524 [Emilia Kasper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie (Google)]
526 *) Experimental multi-implementation support for FIPS capable OpenSSL.
527 When in FIPS mode the approved implementations are used as normal,
528 when not in FIPS mode the internal unapproved versions are used instead.
529 This means that the FIPS capable OpenSSL isn't forced to use the
530 (often lower perfomance) FIPS implementations outside FIPS mode.
533 *) Transparently support X9.42 DH parameters when calling
534 PEM_read_bio_DHparameters. This means existing applications can handle
535 the new parameter format automatically.
538 *) Initial experimental support for X9.42 DH parameter format: mainly
539 to support use of 'q' parameter for RFC5114 parameters.
542 *) Add DH parameters from RFC5114 including test data to dhtest.
545 *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If enabled
546 the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of
547 hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call:
548 SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically
549 support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters.
552 *) Enhance and tidy EC curve and point format TLS extension code. Use
553 static structures instead of allocation if default values are used.
554 New ctrls to set curves we wish to support and to retrieve shared curves.
555 Print out shared curves in s_server. New options to s_server and s_client
556 to set list of supported curves.
559 *) New ctrls to retrieve supported signature algorithms and
560 supported curve values as an array of NIDs. Extend openssl utility
561 to print out received values.
564 *) Add new APIs EC_curve_nist2nid and EC_curve_nid2nist which convert
565 between NIDs and the more common NIST names such as "P-256". Enhance
566 ecparam utility and ECC method to recognise the NIST names for curves.
569 *) Enhance SSL/TLS certificate chain handling to support different
570 chains for each certificate instead of one chain in the parent SSL_CTX.
573 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuite client authentication: where both
574 server and client use DH certificates with common parameters.
577 *) Support for fixed DH ciphersuites: those requiring DH server
581 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
583 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
584 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
585 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
587 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
589 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
591 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
592 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
593 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
595 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
596 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
597 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
598 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
600 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
602 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
603 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
604 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
605 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
606 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
610 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
611 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
614 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
615 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
617 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
618 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
619 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
620 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
621 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
623 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
626 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
630 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
632 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
633 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
635 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
636 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
640 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
641 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
644 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
648 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
650 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
651 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
652 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
653 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
654 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
655 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
656 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
657 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
658 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
659 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
662 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
663 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
664 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
665 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
666 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
667 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
671 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
673 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
674 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
675 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
677 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
678 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
680 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
682 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
685 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
686 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
688 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
689 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
690 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
691 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
692 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
693 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
694 Most broken servers should now work.
695 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
696 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
699 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
702 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
704 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
705 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
708 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
709 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
710 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
711 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
712 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
715 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
716 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
717 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
718 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
719 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
722 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
723 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
725 *) Add support for SCTP.
726 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
728 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
729 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
731 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
733 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
734 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
735 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
736 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
737 - s390x: z196 support;
738 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
742 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
743 (removal of unnecessary code)
744 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
746 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
749 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
752 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
753 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
754 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
756 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
758 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
759 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
760 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
761 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
762 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
764 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
765 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
766 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
768 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
769 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
770 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
772 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
773 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
775 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
777 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
778 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
779 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
782 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
783 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
787 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
788 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
789 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
792 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
793 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
794 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
795 the appropriate parameters.
798 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
799 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
800 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
801 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
802 against a number of sample certificates.
805 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
806 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
808 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
809 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
811 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
812 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
816 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
820 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
821 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
822 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
826 *) Session-handling fixes:
827 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
828 but also support Session Tickets.
829 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
830 presented a ticket with an expired session.
831 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
832 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
833 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
834 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
836 *) Fix PSK session representation.
839 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
841 This work was sponsored by Intel.
844 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
845 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
846 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
847 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
848 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
851 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
852 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
855 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
856 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
857 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
860 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
861 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
862 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
863 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
866 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
867 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
868 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
871 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
872 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
874 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
877 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
878 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
881 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
884 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
885 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
888 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
889 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
892 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
895 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
896 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
897 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
900 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
903 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
906 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
907 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
910 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
911 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
912 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
915 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
918 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
922 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
923 FIPS modules versions.
926 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
927 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
928 until after the certificate request message is received.
931 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
932 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
933 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
934 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
937 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
938 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
939 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
940 support yet and no support for client certificates.
943 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
944 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
945 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
946 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
947 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
948 and version checking.
951 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
952 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
953 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
954 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
958 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
960 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
963 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
964 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
965 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
967 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
968 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
969 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
972 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
973 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
975 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
976 a few changes are required:
978 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
980 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
981 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
982 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
985 Changes between 1.0.0j and 1.0.0k [5 Feb 2013]
987 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
989 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
990 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
991 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
993 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
994 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
995 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
996 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
998 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1000 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
1001 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
1004 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
1005 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
1006 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
1007 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
1008 (This is a backport)
1009 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
1011 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
1014 Changes between 1.0.0i and 1.0.0j [10 May 2012]
1016 [NB: OpenSSL 1.0.0i and later 1.0.0 patch levels were released after
1019 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
1022 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
1023 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
1027 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
1028 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
1031 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.0i [19 Apr 2012]
1033 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
1034 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
1035 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
1037 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
1038 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
1040 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
1042 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1044 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1045 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1046 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1047 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1048 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1049 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1050 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1051 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1052 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1055 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1056 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1057 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1060 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1062 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1063 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1064 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1065 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1068 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1070 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1071 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1072 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1073 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1074 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1075 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1076 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1077 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1078 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1079 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1080 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1081 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1082 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1084 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1086 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1088 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1089 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1090 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1091 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1093 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
1094 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
1096 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1097 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1098 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1099 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1101 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1102 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1104 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1105 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1107 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1108 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1110 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1111 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1112 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1114 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1115 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1116 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1118 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1119 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1120 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1121 the last update always remained unused).
1122 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1124 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1125 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1127 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1129 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1130 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1131 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1133 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1134 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1135 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1137 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1140 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1141 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1142 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1145 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1146 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1148 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1150 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1152 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1154 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1155 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1157 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1158 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1162 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1164 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1165 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1166 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1169 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1170 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1171 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1174 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1176 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1177 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1178 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1181 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1185 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1187 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1189 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1191 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1193 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1194 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1195 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1198 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1201 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1202 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1203 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1205 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1206 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1207 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1210 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1211 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1214 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1215 some responders need this.
1218 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1220 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1222 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1223 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1224 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1227 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1230 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1231 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1232 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1233 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1234 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1235 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1236 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1237 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1240 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1241 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1242 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1243 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1245 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1246 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1248 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1252 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1253 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1254 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1255 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1256 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1257 attempting to work them out.
1260 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1261 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1262 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1263 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1266 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1267 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1268 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1269 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1270 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1273 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1274 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1281 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1283 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1287 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1288 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1290 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1291 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1293 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1294 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1295 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1296 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1297 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1300 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1301 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1302 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1305 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1306 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1309 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1310 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1312 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1313 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1316 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1319 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1320 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1321 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1325 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1326 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1327 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1328 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1329 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1330 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1333 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1334 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1336 This work was sponsored by Google.
1339 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1340 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1341 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1342 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1343 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1344 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1345 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1348 This work was sponsored by Google.
1351 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1353 This work was sponsored by Google.
1356 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1357 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1358 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1359 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1361 This work was sponsored by Google.
1364 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1365 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1366 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1367 CRL functionality in future.
1369 This work was sponsored by Google.
1372 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1374 This work was sponsored by Google.
1377 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1378 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1380 This work was sponsored by Google.
1383 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1384 and URI types are currently supported.
1386 This work was sponsored by Google.
1389 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1390 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1391 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1392 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1393 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1394 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1395 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1396 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1398 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1399 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1400 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1402 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1403 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1404 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1405 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1407 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1408 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1409 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1410 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1411 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1412 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1413 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1414 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1416 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1418 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1419 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1420 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1422 This work was sponsored by Google.
1425 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1428 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1429 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1430 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1433 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1434 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1437 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1438 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1441 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1442 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1443 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1444 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1445 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1446 content types and variants.
1449 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1452 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1453 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1454 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1455 files from the associated perl scripts.
1458 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1459 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1460 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1462 *) s390x assembler pack.
1465 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1469 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1470 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1471 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1472 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1473 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1474 to use. For example, specify an option
1476 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1478 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1479 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1480 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1481 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1482 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1483 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1485 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1486 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1487 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1488 return non-zero for success.
1490 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1493 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1494 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1498 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1501 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1502 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1503 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1504 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1505 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1506 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1507 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1508 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1509 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1511 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1512 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1513 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1514 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1515 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1516 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1518 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1519 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1520 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1521 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1522 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1523 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1527 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1530 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1532 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1533 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1534 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1537 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1538 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1541 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1542 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1543 with no application modification.
1545 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1546 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1548 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1549 or server extensions to be examined.
1551 This work was sponsored by Google.
1554 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1555 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1556 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1558 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1559 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1560 ciphersuite support.
1561 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1563 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1564 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1565 to output in BER and PEM format.
1568 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1569 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1570 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1571 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1572 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1575 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1576 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1577 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1581 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1582 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1583 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1584 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1585 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1586 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1587 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1588 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1591 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1592 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1593 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1594 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1596 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1597 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1598 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1602 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1603 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1604 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1605 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1606 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1607 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1608 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1609 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1610 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1612 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1613 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1614 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1615 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1616 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1617 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1618 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1619 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1620 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1621 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1622 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1625 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1626 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1627 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1629 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1630 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1634 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1635 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1636 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1639 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1640 it yet and it is largely untested.
1643 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1646 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1647 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1648 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1651 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1654 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1655 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1656 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1657 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1660 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1661 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1662 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1663 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1664 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1667 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1668 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1671 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1672 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1673 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1674 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1677 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1678 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1679 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1680 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1683 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1684 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1687 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1688 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1689 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1690 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1693 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1694 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1695 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1698 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1702 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1703 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1706 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1707 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1708 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1712 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1713 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1714 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1717 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1718 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1719 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1720 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1723 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1724 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1725 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1726 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1727 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1728 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1731 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1732 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1733 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1734 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1735 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1737 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1738 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1739 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1740 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1741 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1744 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1745 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1746 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1747 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1749 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1750 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1751 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1752 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1753 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1759 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1760 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1764 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1765 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1768 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1769 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1772 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1773 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1774 functional reference processing.
1777 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1778 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1782 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1783 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1784 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1787 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1788 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1789 application to support multiple signers.
1792 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1796 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1797 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1798 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1799 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1800 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1803 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1807 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1808 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1809 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1810 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1814 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1815 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1816 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1817 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1818 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1819 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1820 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1821 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1824 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1825 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1826 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1827 between digests and public key types.
1830 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1831 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1832 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1833 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1836 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1837 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1841 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1844 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1848 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1849 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1850 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1851 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1856 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1858 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1860 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1862 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1863 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1864 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1865 functionality for RSA.
1868 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1869 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1870 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1873 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1874 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1877 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1878 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1879 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1882 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1883 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1886 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1887 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1890 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1891 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1895 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1896 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1897 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1901 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1902 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1903 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1904 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1905 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1906 of public and private key structures.
1909 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1910 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1913 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1914 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the

1927 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1929 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1930 and response verification functionality.
1931 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1933 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1934 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1935 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1936 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1937 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1938 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1939 server_name extension.
1941 New functions (subject to change):
1943 SSL_get_servername()
1944 SSL_get_servername_type()
1947 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1949 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1950 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1951 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1952 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1953 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1955 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1957 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1958 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1959 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1960 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1961 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1962 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1965 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1967 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1970 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1971 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1972 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1973 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1974 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1977 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1978 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1982 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1983 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1984 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1985 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1988 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1989 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1990 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1991 using the maximum available value.
1994 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1995 in addition to the text details.
1998 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1999 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
2000 handle several customised structures at all.
2003 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
2004 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
2005 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
2008 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
2011 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
2012 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
2013 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
2016 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
2017 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
2018 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
2021 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
2022 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
2026 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
2029 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2032 Changes between 0.9.8x and 0.9.8y [5 Feb 2013]
2034 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
2036 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
2037 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
2038 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
2040 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
2041 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
2042 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
2043 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
2045 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2047 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2048 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2051 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
2052 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
2055 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
2056 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
2057 so it returns the certificate actually sent.

2062 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
2065 Changes between 0.9.8w and 0.9.8x [10 May 2012]
2067 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in DTLS
2070 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
2071 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
2075 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
2076 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
2079 Changes between 0.9.8v and 0.9.8w [23 Apr 2012]
2081 *) The fix for CVE-2012-2110 did not take into account that the
2082 'len' argument to BUF_MEM_grow and BUF_MEM_grow_clean is an
2083 int in OpenSSL 0.9.8, making it still vulnerable. Fix by
2084 rejecting negative len parameter. (CVE-2012-2131)
2085 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2087 Changes between 0.9.8u and 0.9.8v [19 Apr 2012]
2089 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
2090 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
2091 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.

2094 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
2096 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
2098 Changes between 0.9.8t and 0.9.8u [12 Mar 2012]
2100 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
2101 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
2102 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
2103 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
2104 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
2105 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
2106 an MMA defence is not necessary.
2107 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
2108 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
2111 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
2112 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
2113 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
2116 Changes between 0.9.8s and 0.9.8t [18 Jan 2012]
2118 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
2119 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
2120 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
2121 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
2124 Changes between 0.9.8r and 0.9.8s [4 Jan 2012]
2126 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
2127 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
2128 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
2129 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
2130 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
2131 paper describing this attack can be found at:

2137 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
2138 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
2140 *) Stop policy check failure freeing same buffer twice. (CVE-2011-4109)
2141 [Ben Laurie, Kasper <ekasper@google.com>]
2143 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.

2152 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
2153 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
2154 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)

2157 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
2158 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2160 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
2161 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2163 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
2164 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
2165 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2167 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
2168 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
2169 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
2171 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
2172 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
2173 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
2174 the last update always remained unused).
2175 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
2177 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
2178 for multi-threaded use of ECDH.
2179 [Adam Langley (Google)]
2181 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
2184 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper

2197 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
2201 Changes between 0.9.8p and 0.9.8q [2 Dec 2010]
2203 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
2204 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
2205 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
2208 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
2209 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
2210 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
2213 Changes between 0.9.8o and 0.9.8p [16 Nov 2010]
2215 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
2216 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
2217 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
2220 *) Fix for double free bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c CVE-2010-2939
2223 *) Don't reencode certificate when calculating signature: cache and use
2224 the original encoding instead. This makes signature verification of
2225 some broken encodings work correctly.
2228 *) ec2_GF2m_simple_mul bugfix: compute correct result if the output EC_POINT
2229 is also one of the inputs.
2230 [Emilia Käsper <emilia.kasper@esat.kuleuven.be> (Google)]
2232 *) Don't repeatedly append PBE algorithms to table if they already exist.
2233 Sort table on each new add. This effectively makes the table read only
2234 after all algorithms are added and subsequent calls to PKCS12_pbe_add

2244 access or freeing data twice (CVE-2010-0742)
2245 [Steve Henson, Ronald Moesbergen <intercommit@gmail.com>]
2247 *) Add SHA2 algorithms to SSL_library_init(). SHA2 is becoming far more
2248 common in certificates and some applications which only call
2249 SSL_library_init and not OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() will fail.
2253 Reduce copying into .apps and .test in makevms.com

2256 [Steven M. Schweda" <sms@antinode.info>]
2258 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2260 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2261 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2262 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2263 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2264 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2265 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2266 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2267 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2269 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2270 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2271 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2273 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2275 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2276 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2278 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2279 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2282 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2283 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2284 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2287 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2288 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2289 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2290 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2291 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2292 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2295 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2296 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2297 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2300 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2301 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2302 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2303 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2304 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2305 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2309 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2310 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2313 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2314 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2315 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2318 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2321 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2322 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2323 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2324 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2325 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2326 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2327 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2328 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2329 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2332 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2333 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2334 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2337 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2338 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2341 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2342 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2343 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2344 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2345 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2346 know what you are doing.
2347 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2349 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2350 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2351 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2352 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2353 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2354 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2358 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2359 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2360 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2362 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2364 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2365 warnings in other configurations.
2368 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2369 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2370 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2372 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2374 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2375 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2376 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2378 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2379 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2380 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2381 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2384 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2388 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2389 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2391 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2393 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2394 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2395 other than a simple chain.
2396 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2398 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2399 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2400 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2401 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2404 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2405 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2406 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2407 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2408 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2409 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2410 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2411 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2412 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2414 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2415 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2416 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2417 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2418 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2419 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2421 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2423 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2424 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2427 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.

2431 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2433 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2435 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2436 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2437 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2438 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2439 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2443 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2445 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2446 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2447 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2448 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2450 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2451 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2452 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2453 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2455 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2456 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2457 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2460 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2461 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2465 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2466 to handle some structures.
2469 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2471 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2473 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2476 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2479 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2482 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2483 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2487 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2489 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2491 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2493 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2496 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2497 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2498 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)

2501 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2502 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2504 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2505 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2508 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2509 s_client and s_server.
2512 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2513 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2515 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2516 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2518 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2519 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2520 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2521 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2522 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2525 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2527 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2528 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2531 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2532 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2535 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2536 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2537 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2538 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2540 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2541 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2543 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2545 *) Various precautionary measures:
2547 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2549 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2550 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2551 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2553 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2554 outside the expected range.
2556 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2559 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2561 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2562 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2563 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2565 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2568 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2571 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2573 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2576 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2577 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2578 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2580 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2583 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2584 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2585 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2589 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2591 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2592 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2593 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2594 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2596 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2597 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2600 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2602 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2603 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2604 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2606 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2608 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2609 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2610 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2611 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2614 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2615 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2616 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2617 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2618 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2619 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2620 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2622 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2624 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2625 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2626 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2627 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2628 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2630 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2631 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2633 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2634 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2635 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2636 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2637 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2639 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2641 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2642 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2643 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2644 sets may exist with different names.
2647 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2648 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2649 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2650 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2651 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2652 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2653 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2654 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2655 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2657 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2659 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2660 implemention in the following ways:
2662 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2665 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2666 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2667 ignored for embedded content.
2669 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2670 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2673 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2674 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2675 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2676 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2678 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2679 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2682 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2683 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2686 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2687 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2688 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2689 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2690 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2691 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2695 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2696 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2697 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2701 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2702 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2703 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2704 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2705 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2706 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2707 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2708 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2710 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2711 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2712 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2713 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2714 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2715 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2716 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2718 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2719 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2720 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2721 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2722 to s_client and s_server.
2725 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2727 *) Fix various bugs:
2728 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2729 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2730 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2731 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2732 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2734 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2736 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2737 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2738 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2739 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2740 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2741 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2742 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2743 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2746 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2747 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2748 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2751 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2752 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2753 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2756 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2757 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2760 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2761 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2762 with no application modification.
2764 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2765 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2767 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2768 or server extensions to be examined.
2770 This work was sponsored by Google.
2773 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2774 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2775 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2776 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2777 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2778 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2779 server_name extension.
2781 New functions (subject to change):
2783 SSL_get_servername()
2784 SSL_get_servername_type()
2787 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2789 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2790 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2791 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2792 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2793 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2795 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2797 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2798 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2799 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2800 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2801 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2802 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2805 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2807 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2810 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2813 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2814 (which previously caused an internal error).
2817 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2820 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2821 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2823 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2824 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2825 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2827 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2828 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2829 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2830 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2832 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2833 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2834 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2835 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2837 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2838 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2839 information. For detailed background information, see
2840 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2841 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2842 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2843 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2844 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2845 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2846 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2847 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2848 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2849 remove a conditional branch.
2851 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2852 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2853 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2854 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2855 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2856 remains as a deprecated alias.
2858 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2859 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2860 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2861 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2863 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2864 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2865 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2866 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2867 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2868 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2869 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2870 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2872 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2874 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2875 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2876 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2877 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2878 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2879 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2880 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2881 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2882 in a different context.
2885 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2886 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2887 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2890 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2891 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2892 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2894 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2896 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2897 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2898 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2899 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2900 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2903 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2904 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2905 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2906 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2907 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2908 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2911 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2912 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2913 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2914 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2915 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2918 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2919 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2921 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2922 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2923 Improve header file function name parsing.
2926 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2927 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2930 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2932 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2933 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2934 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2936 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2937 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2939 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2940 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2942 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2943 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2944 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2946 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2947 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2948 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2949 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2950 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2951 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2952 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2953 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2954 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2956 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2957 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2958 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2959 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2960 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2962 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2963 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2964 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2965 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2966 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2967 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2968 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2969 multiple values to extend the available space.
2973 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2975 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2976 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2978 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2981 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2982 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2983 undesirable limitations.
2984 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2986 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2987 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2988 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2989 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2990 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2991 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2992 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2995 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2997 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2998 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2999 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3001 The latter two were purportedly from
3002 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3005 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
3006 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3007 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3010 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3011 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3014 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
3015 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
3016 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
3017 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
3019 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
3020 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
3021 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
3024 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
3025 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
3026 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
3027 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
3028 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
3029 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
3032 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
3034 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
3035 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
3038 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
3039 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
3041 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3042 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
3043 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
3044 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
3047 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
3048 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
3051 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
3052 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
3053 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
3054 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
3055 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
3056 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
3057 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
3061 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
3062 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
3063 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
3064 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
3067 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
3068 under VC++ build system.
3071 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
3072 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
3075 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
3077 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3078 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3079 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3080 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3081 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3083 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3084 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3085 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3087 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
3090 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
3091 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3094 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
3095 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
3097 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
3100 *) Extended Windows CE support.
3101 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
3103 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
3104 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
3107 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
3108 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
3112 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
3114 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3117 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
3120 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
3121 key into the same file any more.
3124 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
3127 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
3128 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
3130 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
3131 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
3134 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
3135 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
3136 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
3137 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
3138 this only applies when building 'shared'.
3139 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
3141 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
3142 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
3143 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
3146 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
3147 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
3148 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
3149 - add new function for parameter creation
3150 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
3151 BN_BLINDING parameters
3152 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
3153 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
3154 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
3158 *) Add support for DTLS.
3159 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
3161 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
3162 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
3165 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
3166 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
3169 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
3170 the apps/openssl applications.
3173 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
3174 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
3175 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
3178 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
3179 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
3181 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
3182 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
3184 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
3185 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
3186 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
3187 avoid this algorithm.)
3191 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
3192 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
3193 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
3196 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
3197 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
3200 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
3201 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
3202 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
3205 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
3207 The blank line is mandatory.
3211 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
3212 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
3216 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
3217 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
3219 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
3220 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
3221 to support policy checking and print out.
3224 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
3225 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
3226 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
3227 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
3229 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
3232 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
3233 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
3235 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
3236 implementation contributed by IBM.
3237 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
3239 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
3240 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
3241 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
3242 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
3244 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
3245 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
3247 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
3248 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
3249 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
3250 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
3251 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
3252 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
3255 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
3256 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3257 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3258 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3259 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3260 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3261 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3264 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3267 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3268 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3269 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3270 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3271 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3272 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3273 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3274 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3277 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3278 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3279 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3280 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3283 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3286 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3289 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3290 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3291 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3292 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3293 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3294 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3295 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3298 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3299 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3302 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3303 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3304 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3307 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3308 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3309 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3313 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3314 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3317 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3318 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3319 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3320 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3323 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3324 initialised value as BN_new().
3325 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3327 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3330 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3331 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3332 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3333 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3334 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3335 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3336 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3337 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3338 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3339 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3340 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3341 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3342 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3343 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3344 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3346 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3347 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3348 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3349 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3352 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3353 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3354 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3355 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3356 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3357 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3358 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3359 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3360 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3363 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3364 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3365 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3366 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3367 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3368 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3369 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3372 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3373 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3374 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3375 these have been updated also.
3378 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3379 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3380 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3381 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3382 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3386 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3387 structure of type "other".
3390 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3391 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3392 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3393 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3394 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3395 situation in the script.
3396 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3398 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3399 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3400 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3401 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3402 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3403 used as premaster secret.
3404 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3406 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3407 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3408 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3410 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3411 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3413 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3414 control of the error stack.
3417 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3420 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3421 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3422 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3423 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3426 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3427 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3428 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3431 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3432 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3433 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3437 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3438 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3439 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3440 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3443 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3444 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3445 the following flags are defined:
3447 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3448 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3449 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3452 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3453 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3454 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3455 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3459 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3460 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3461 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3462 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3463 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3466 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3467 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3468 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3471 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3472 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3473 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3474 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3475 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3476 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3479 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3483 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3486 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3489 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3492 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3493 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3494 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3495 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3496 default implementation more easily.
3499 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3503 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3504 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3507 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3508 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3509 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3510 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3512 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3513 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3514 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3515 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3518 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3519 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3523 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3524 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3525 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3526 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3527 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3528 scalar * generator).
3529 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3531 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3532 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3533 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3537 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3538 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3539 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3540 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3541 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3542 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3543 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3544 linker additions, eg;
3545 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3548 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3549 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3550 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3553 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3554 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3555 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3559 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3560 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3561 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3562 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3565 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3566 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3567 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3568 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3569 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3570 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3571 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3572 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3573 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3574 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3576 Example for using the new callback interface:
3578 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3582 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3584 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3585 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3586 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3587 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3588 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3589 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3594 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3595 available to TLS with the number defined in
3596 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3599 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3600 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3602 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3603 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3604 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3605 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3607 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3608 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3610 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3611 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3615 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3616 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3619 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3620 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3621 and a macro that behave like
3622 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3624 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3627 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3628 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3629 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3631 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3633 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3636 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3637 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3638 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3639 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3641 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3642 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3643 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3644 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3645 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3646 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3647 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3648 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3650 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3651 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3654 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3655 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3657 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3658 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3659 files while avoiding the low level API.
3661 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3662 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3663 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3664 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3666 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3667 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3668 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3669 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3670 instead of the low level API.
3673 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3674 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3675 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3676 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3677 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3680 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3681 down to the template encoder.
3684 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3685 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3688 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3689 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3690 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3691 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3693 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3694 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3696 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3697 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3699 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3700 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3703 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3704 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3705 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3708 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3709 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3711 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3712 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3714 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3715 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
