5 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
8 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
9 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
10 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
11 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
12 used as premaster secret.
13 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
15 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
16 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
17 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
19 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
20 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
22 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
23 control of the error stack.
26 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
29 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
30 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
31 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
32 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
35 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
36 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
37 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
40 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
41 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
42 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
46 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
47 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
48 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
49 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
52 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
53 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
54 the following flags are defined:
56 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
57 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
58 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
61 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
62 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
63 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
64 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
68 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
69 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
70 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
71 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
72 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
75 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
76 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
77 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
80 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
81 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
82 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
83 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
84 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
85 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
88 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
92 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
95 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
98 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
101 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
102 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
103 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
104 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
107 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
108 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
109 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
110 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
111 default implementation more easily.
114 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
118 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
119 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
122 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
123 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
124 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
125 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
127 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
128 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
129 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
133 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
134 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
138 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
139 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
140 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
141 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
142 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
144 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
146 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
147 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
148 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
152 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
153 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
154 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
155 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
156 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
157 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
158 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
159 linker additions, eg;
160 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
163 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
164 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
165 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
168 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
169 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
170 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
174 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
175 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
176 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
177 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
180 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
181 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
182 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
183 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
184 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
185 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
186 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
187 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
188 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
189 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
191 Example for using the new callback interface:
193 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
197 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
199 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
200 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
201 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
202 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
203 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
204 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
209 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
210 available to TLS with the number defined in
211 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
214 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
215 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
217 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
218 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
219 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
220 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
222 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
223 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
225 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
226 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
230 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
231 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
234 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating new macros that behave like
237 void BN_set_sign(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
238 int BN_get_sign(const BIGNUM *a);
240 and avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
241 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
243 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
244 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
245 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
247 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
249 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
252 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
253 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
254 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
255 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
257 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
258 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
259 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
260 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
261 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
262 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
263 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
264 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
266 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
267 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
270 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
271 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
273 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
274 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
275 files while avoiding the low level API.
277 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
278 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
279 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
280 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
282 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
283 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
284 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
285 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
286 instead of the low level API.
289 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
290 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
291 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
292 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
293 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
296 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
297 down to the template encoder.
300 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
301 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
304 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
305 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
306 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
307 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
309 *) Add ECDH engine support.
310 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
312 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
313 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
315 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
316 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
319 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
320 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
321 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
324 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
325 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
327 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
328 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
330 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
331 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
334 EC_GF2m_simple_method
338 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
339 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
340 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
341 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
342 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
343 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
345 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
346 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
349 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
350 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
351 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
352 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
353 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
354 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
355 various internal method names.)
357 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
358 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
360 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
361 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
363 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
364 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
366 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
367 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
368 methods are undefined.
370 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
371 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
373 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
374 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
375 length of the modulus.
377 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
378 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
380 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
381 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
383 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
384 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
386 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
387 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
388 used) in the following functions [macros]:
391 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
392 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
393 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
394 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
396 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
397 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
398 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
399 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
401 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
402 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
404 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
405 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
406 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
407 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
408 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
410 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
411 This applies to the following functions:
416 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
417 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
420 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
424 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
429 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
431 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
432 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
433 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
434 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
435 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
437 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
438 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
440 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
441 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
442 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
444 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
445 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
447 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
448 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
449 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
450 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
451 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
453 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
455 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
456 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
457 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
458 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
459 These control ASN1 encoding details:
460 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
461 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
462 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
463 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
464 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
465 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
466 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
468 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
472 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
473 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
474 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
476 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
477 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
478 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
479 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
486 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
487 EC_POINT_oct2point().
488 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
490 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
491 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
492 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
494 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
495 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
496 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
497 adding different types of curves.
498 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
500 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
501 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
502 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
505 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
506 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
508 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
509 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
510 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
511 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
513 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
515 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
516 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
518 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
519 library. Most notably,
520 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
521 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
522 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
523 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
524 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
525 extracted before the specific public key;
526 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
527 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
529 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
530 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
532 EC_GROUP_new_by_nid(),
533 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
534 EC_get_builtin_curves().
535 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
539 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
541 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
542 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
543 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
544 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
545 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
546 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
550 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [xx XXX 2003]
552 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
553 exiting on the first error in a request.
556 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
557 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
558 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
559 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
561 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
562 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
565 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
566 blocks during encryption.
569 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
570 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
571 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
572 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
576 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
577 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
578 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
579 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
580 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
584 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
586 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
587 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
588 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
589 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
592 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
593 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
594 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
595 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
596 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
598 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
599 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
600 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
601 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
602 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
603 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
604 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
605 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
606 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
609 yet to be integrated into this CVS branch:
610 - Geoff's ENGINE_set_default() fix
612 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
613 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
616 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
618 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
619 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
620 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
621 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
622 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
624 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
625 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
626 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
628 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
629 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
630 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
631 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
632 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
634 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
635 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
636 used by default when no-err is given.
639 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
640 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
642 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
643 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
644 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
645 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
646 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
648 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
649 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
650 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
651 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
653 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
655 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
657 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
659 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
660 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
661 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
662 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
666 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
667 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
669 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
670 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
673 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
674 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
675 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
676 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
679 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
680 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
681 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
682 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
683 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
684 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
688 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
689 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
692 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
693 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
694 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

697 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
699 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
702 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
703 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
704 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
705 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
707 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
711 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
712 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
716 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
717 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
718 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
719 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
720 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
721 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
723 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
724 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
725 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
726 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
727 have to be made anyway).
730 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
731 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
732 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
735 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
736 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
737 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
740 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
741 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
742 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
744 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
745 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
746 edit numbers of the version.
747 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
749 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
750 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
751 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
753 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
756 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
757 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
760 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
763 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
766 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
769 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
772 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
776 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
777 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
780 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
781 representations in a platform independent manner.
784 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
785 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
788 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
792 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
795 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
799 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
800 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
803 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
807 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
810 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
813 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
816 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
819 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
823 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
826 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
829 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
830 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
834 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
835 the 0.9.6 release series:
837 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
838 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
842 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
845 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
846 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
848 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
849 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
851 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
852 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
853 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
854 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
856 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
857 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
858 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
860 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
861 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
862 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
863 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
865 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
866 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
867 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
870 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
871 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
872 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
873 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
874 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
875 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
876 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
877 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
880 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
881 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
882 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
885 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
886 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
887 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
888 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
889 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
891 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
892 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
894 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
895 error in AES-CFB decryption.
898 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
899 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
900 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
901 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
902 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
903 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
906 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
907 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
908 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
911 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
912 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
915 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
916 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
917 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
918 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
919 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
920 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
921 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
924 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
925 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
926 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
927 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
928 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
929 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
932 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
933 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
934 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
935 declaration has been changed from
938 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
939 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
940 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
941 has been changed into
942 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
944 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
945 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
946 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
948 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
949 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
951 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
952 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
953 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
954 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
955 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
956 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
957 always load it have also been added.
960 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
961 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
962 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
964 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
966 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
967 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
968 because it couldn't be used for anything.
970 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
971 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
972 command line option can be used to specify an
976 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
977 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
980 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
981 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
982 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
985 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
986 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
987 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
988 to work with the new engine framework.
989 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
991 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
992 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
993 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
994 to work with the new engine framework.
997 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
998 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
999 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1001 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
1002 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
1004 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
1005 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1006 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1007 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1009 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1011 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1012 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1014 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1015 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1017 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1018 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1019 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1022 *) Add new functions
1024 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1025 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1026 These are similar to
1029 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1030 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1031 still in the error queue.
1032 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1034 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1036 default_algorithms = ALL
1037 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1040 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1043 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1046 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1047 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1048 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1049 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1051 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1052 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1054 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1055 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1057 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1058 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1061 *) New functions/macros
1063 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1064 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1065 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1066 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1068 to request calling a callback function
1070 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1071 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1073 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1074 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1075 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1076 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1077 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1078 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1079 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1080 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1081 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1082 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1084 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1085 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1088 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1089 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1090 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1091 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1092 the configuration scripts.
1094 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1095 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1096 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1098 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1099 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1101 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1102 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1103 when reusing an existing buffer.
1106 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1107 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1110 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1111 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1114 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1115 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1116 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1117 has the same effect.
1118 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1120 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1121 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1122 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1123 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1124 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1125 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1128 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1129 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1130 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1131 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1133 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1134 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1135 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1136 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1138 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1139 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1142 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1143 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1144 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1145 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1146 default), and then completely removed.
1149 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1150 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1151 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1152 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1153 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1154 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1155 particular extension is supported.
1158 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1159 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1162 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1163 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1164 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1165 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1166 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1167 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1168 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1169 requires the destination to be valid.
1171 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1172 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1175 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1176 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1177 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1180 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1181 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1183 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1184 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1185 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1186 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1187 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1188 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1189 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1190 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1191 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1192 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1193 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1194 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1195 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1196 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1197 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1198 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1199 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1200 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1201 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1205 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1208 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1209 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1210 become part of libeay.num as well.
1213 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1214 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1215 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1216 false once a handshake has been completed.
1217 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1218 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1219 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1220 client has followed the request.)
1223 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1224 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1225 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1226 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1228 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1229 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1230 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1233 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
1236 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
1237 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
1238 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
1241 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
1242 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
1245 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
1246 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
1247 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
1248 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
1251 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
1252 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
1253 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
1254 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
1255 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
1256 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
1259 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
1260 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
1261 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
1262 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
1263 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
1264 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
1265 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
1266 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
1269 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
1270 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
1273 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
1276 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
1277 md_data void pointer.
1280 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
1281 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
1282 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
1283 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
1284 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
1285 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
1288 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
1289 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
1290 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
1291 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
1292 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
1293 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
1294 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
1295 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
1296 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
1297 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
1298 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
1299 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
1300 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
1301 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
1302 rather than letting it slide.
1304 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
1305 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
1306 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
1309 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
1310 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
1311 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
1312 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
1313 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
1314 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
1315 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
1316 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
1317 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
1320 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
1321 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
1322 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
1323 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
1324 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
1326 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
1329 *) Add EVP test program.
1332 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
1335 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
1336 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
1337 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
1338 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
1339 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
1342 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
1343 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
1344 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
1345 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
1346 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
1347 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
1348 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
1350 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
1351 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
1352 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
1357 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
1358 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
1359 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
1360 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
1361 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
1365 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
1366 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
1367 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
1368 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
1371 des_key_schedule ks;
1373 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
1374 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
1376 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
1379 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
1380 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
1381 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
1382 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
1383 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
1384 functions prevents this.
1387 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
1390 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
1391 correct _ecb suffix.
1394 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
1395 revocation information is handled using the text based index
1396 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
1397 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
1398 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
1401 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
1404 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
1405 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
1406 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
1407 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
1409 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
1410 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
1412 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
1413 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1414 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
1415 via Richard Levitte]
1417 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
1418 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
1419 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
1420 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
1423 *) Speed up EVP routines.
1426 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
1427 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

1441 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
1442 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
1444 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
1445 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
1446 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
1447 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
1448 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
1449 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
1452 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
1453 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
1456 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
1457 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
1458 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
1459 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
1461 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
1462 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
1463 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
1464 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
1465 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
1466 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
1470 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
1471 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
1472 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
1473 and interrupts/cancellations.
1476 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
1477 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
1480 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
1481 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
1482 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
1484 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
1485 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
1489 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
1490 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
1491 than this minimum value is recommended.
1494 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
1495 that are easily reachable.
1498 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
1499 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
1501 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
1503 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
1504 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
1505 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
1506 needed for static libraries under Win32.
1509 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
1510 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
1511 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
1514 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
1515 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
1516 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
1517 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
1518 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
1519 internally such as S/MIME.
1521 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
1522 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
1523 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
1525 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
1529 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
1530 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
1531 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
1532 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
1534 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
1536 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
1538 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
1539 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
1540 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
1544 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
1545 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
1546 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
1547 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
1548 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
1549 a window system and the like.
1552 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
1553 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
1556 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
1557 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
1558 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
1559 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
1560 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
1561 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
1562 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
1563 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
1564 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1568 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1569 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1573 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1574 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1575 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1576 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1577 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1578 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1579 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1580 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1583 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1584 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1585 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1586 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1587 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1588 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1589 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1590 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1591 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1592 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1593 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1594 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1595 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1596 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1597 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1598 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1599 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1602 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1603 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1604 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1605 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1606 internal engine_int.h header.
1609 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1610 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1611 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1612 modify their own ones).
1615 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1616 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1617 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1618 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1619 later on via ctrl() commands.
1620 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1621 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1622 structural references.
1623 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1624 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1625 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1626 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1627 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1628 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1629 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1630 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1631 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1632 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1633 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1634 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1637 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1638 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1639 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1640 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1641 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1642 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1643 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1644 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1647 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1648 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1651 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1652 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1655 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1656 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1657 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1658 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1659 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1660 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1661 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1664 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1665 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1666 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1667 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1668 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1670 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1671 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1675 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1677 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1678 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1679 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1681 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1682 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1684 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1685 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1686 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1688 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1689 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1691 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1692 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1694 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1696 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1697 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1698 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1701 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1702 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1705 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1706 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1707 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1708 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1709 is 40 of more characters long.
1712 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1713 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1717 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1718 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1721 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1722 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1726 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1728 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1729 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1732 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1734 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1735 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1736 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1738 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1739 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1741 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1744 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1748 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1749 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1750 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1751 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1753 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1755 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1756 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1758 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1759 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1760 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1761 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1762 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1763 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1765 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1766 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1768 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1769 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1771 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1772 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1774 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1775 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1776 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1777 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1779 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1780 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1782 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1783 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1785 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1786 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1787 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1788 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1789 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1792 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1793 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1794 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1795 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1798 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1799 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1800 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1804 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1805 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1806 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1807 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1808 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1809 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1810 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1811 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1815 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1816 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1819 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1820 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1821 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1822 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1825 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1826 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1827 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1828 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1829 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1830 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1831 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1832 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1833 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1834 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1837 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1838 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1839 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1840 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1841 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1842 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1843 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1844 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1846 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1847 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1848 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1849 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1852 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1853 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1854 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1855 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1857 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1858 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1859 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1860 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1861 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1865 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1866 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1867 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1868 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1872 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1873 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1874 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1877 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1878 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1879 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1880 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1881 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1884 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1887 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1888 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1889 option to ocsp utility.
1892 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1893 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1894 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1895 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1896 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1897 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1898 the request is nonce-less.
1901 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1902 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1903 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1906 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1907 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1908 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1911 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1912 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1913 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1914 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1915 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1918 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1919 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1923 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1924 additional certificates supplied.
1927 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1928 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1932 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1933 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1936 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
1937 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
1938 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
1939 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
1940 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
1941 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
1942 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
1943 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
1944 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1946 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1947 request to response.
1950 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1951 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1952 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1953 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1954 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1955 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1956 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1957 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1958 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1959 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1960 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1963 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1964 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1965 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1966 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1969 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1970 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1972 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1973 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1974 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1977 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1978 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1979 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1980 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1981 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1983 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1984 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1985 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1988 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1989 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1990 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1991 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1992 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1993 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1994 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1995 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1997 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1998 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1999 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2000 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2001 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2002 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2005 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2006 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2007 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2008 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2009 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2010 printout format cleaned up.
2013 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2014 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2015 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2016 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2017 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2018 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2019 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2020 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2023 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2024 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2025 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2026 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2027 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2028 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2029 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2030 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2033 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2034 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2035 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2036 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2038 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2040 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2041 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2042 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2043 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2046 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2047 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2048 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2049 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2051 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2053 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2054 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2055 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2056 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2058 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2059 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2061 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2062 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2063 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2066 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2067 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2068 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2071 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2072 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2073 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2074 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2075 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2076 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2077 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2078 functions are provided:
2080 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2081 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2082 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2083 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2085 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2086 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2087 extended allocation function is enabled.
2088 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2089 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2090 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2092 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2093 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2094 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2095 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2096 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2099 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2100 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2101 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2103 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2104 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2105 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2108 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2109 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2110 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2111 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2112 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2113 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2114 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2115 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2116 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2119 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2120 provide utility functions which an application needing
2121 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2122 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2123 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2125 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2126 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2127 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2128 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2129 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2130 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2131 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2132 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2133 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2135 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2136 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2137 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2138 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2141 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2142 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2143 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2144 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2145 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2146 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2147 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2148 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2149 will be added elsewhere.
2152 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2153 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2154 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2155 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2158 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2159 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2160 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2161 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2162 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2163 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2164 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2165 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2166 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2167 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2168 to produce the required SET OF.
2171 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2172 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2173 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2176 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2177 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2178 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2179 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2180 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2181 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2184 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2185 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2186 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2189 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2190 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2191 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2194 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2195 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2196 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2197 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2198 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2201 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2202 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2205 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2206 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2207 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2208 certifcates and CRLs.
2211 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2212 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2213 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2216 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2217 entries for variables.
2220 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2221 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2222 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2223 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2226 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2227 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2228 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2229 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2230 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2231 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2234 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
2235 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
2237 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
2238 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
2239 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
2242 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
2246 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
2247 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
2248 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
2249 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
2250 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
2251 order did not reflect the encoded order.
2254 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
2257 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
2258 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
2259 for now but they will eventually go away.
2262 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
2263 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
2264 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
2265 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
2266 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
2267 has also been converted to the new form.
2270 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
2271 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
2272 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
2273 for negative moduli.
2276 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
2277 of not touching the result's sign bit.
2280 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
2284 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
2285 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
2286 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
2287 type-specific callbacks.
2290 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
2292 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2293 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
2295 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
2296 in sections depending on the subject.
2299 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
2303 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
2304 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
2305 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
2306 be handled deterministically).
2307 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2309 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
2310 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
2311 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
2314 *) New function BN_kronecker.
2317 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
2318 positive unless both parameters are zero.
2319 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
2320 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
2321 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2324 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2325 sign of the number in question.
2327 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2329 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2330 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2331 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2332 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2333 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2336 *) New function BN_swap.
2339 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2340 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2341 results on negative inputs.
2344 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2345 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2346 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2349 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2350 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2351 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2352 and add new functions:
2361 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2365 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2367 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2368 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2370 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2371 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2372 be reduced modulo m.
2373 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2376 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
2377 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
2378 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
2380 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2381 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2382 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2383 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2384 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2385 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2390 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2391 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2392 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2393 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2394 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2396 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2397 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2398 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2402 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2405 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2406 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2409 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2410 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2411 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2412 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2416 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2419 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2422 *) Add the following functions:
2424 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2426 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2428 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2430 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2431 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2432 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2433 libraries unless it's really needed.
2435 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2436 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2437 declarations (they differed!).
2440 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2443 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2446 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2449 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2450 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2453 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2454 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2455 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2457 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2458 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2461 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2464 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2467 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2470 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2471 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2472 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2474 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2475 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2476 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2477 different shared library filenames on each system.
2480 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2483 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2484 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2485 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2487 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2490 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2491 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2492 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2493 binary backward compatibility.
2494 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2495 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2496 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2500 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2501 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2502 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2503 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2507 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2510 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2511 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2512 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2513 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2517 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2520 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [xx XXX 2003]
2522 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2523 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2527 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2528 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2529 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2530 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2532 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2533 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2536 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
2538 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2539 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2540 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2541 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2544 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2545 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2546 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2547 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2548 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2550 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2551 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2552 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2553 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2554 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2555 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2556 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2557 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2558 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2561 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
2563 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2564 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2565 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2566 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2567 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CAN-2003-0078)
2569 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2570 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2571 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2573 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
2575 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
2576 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
2577 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
2578 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
2579 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
2580 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
2583 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
2584 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
2585 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
2586 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
2587 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
2590 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
2591 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
2592 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
2594 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
2595 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
2596 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
2600 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
2601 being properly terminated.
2604 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
2605 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
2606 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
2607 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
2609 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
2610 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
2611 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
2612 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
2613 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
2614 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
2615 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
2617 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
2619 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
2620 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
2623 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
2624 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
2625 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
2626 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
2627 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
2628 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
2629 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
2630 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
2632 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
2633 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
2634 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
2635 (see [openssl.org #212]).
2636 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2638 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
2639 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
2642 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
2644 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
2645 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
2646 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
2648 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
2650 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
2651 and get fix the header length calculation.
2652 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
2653 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
2656 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
2657 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
2658 assertions could call abort()).
2659 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
2661 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
2663 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2664 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2665 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2667 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2669 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
2670 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
2671 by the selection routines (PR #130).
2674 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
2678 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
2679 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
2680 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
2682 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
2683 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
2684 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
2685 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
2686 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
2690 *) Changes in security patch:
2692 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
2693 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
2694 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
2697 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
2698 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
2699 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
2700 supplied buffer. (CAN-2002-0659)
2701 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
2703 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
2705 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2707 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
2708 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CAN-2002-0655)
2709 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
2711 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
2712 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CAN-2002-0656)
2713 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2715 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
2716 supply an oversized client master key. (CAN-2002-0656)
2717 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
2719 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
2721 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
2722 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
2723 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
2725 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
2726 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2728 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
2729 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
2730 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
2731 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
2732 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
2733 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
2736 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
2737 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
2738 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
2739 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
2742 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
2745 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
2746 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
2747 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
2748 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
2749 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
2750 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
2752 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
2753 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
2754 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
2755 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
2756 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
2759 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
2760 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
2761 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
2762 BN_generate_prime().)
2764 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
2765 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
2766 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
2770 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
2771 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
2774 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
2775 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
2776 when using non-blocking I/O.
2777 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
2779 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
2780 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
2782 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
2783 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
2786 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
2787 configuration for the versions before that.
2788 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
2790 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
2791 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
2792 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
2793 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
2796 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
2797 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
2798 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
2801 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
2805 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
2806 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
2807 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
2809 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
2810 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
2812 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
2813 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
2814 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
2815 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
2816 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
2817 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
2818 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
2821 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
2822 using a local variable.
2823 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
2825 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
2826 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
2827 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2829 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
2832 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
2833 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
2835 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
2836 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
2837 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
2839 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
2841 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
2842 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
2843 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
2844 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
2847 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
2851 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
2852 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
2853 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
2854 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
2855 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
2857 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
2858 returns early because it has nothing to do.
2859 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2861 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2862 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
2863 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2865 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2866 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
2867 (Use engine 'keyclient')
2868 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
2870 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
2871 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
2872 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
2874 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
2876 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2877 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
2879 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
2881 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2882 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
2883 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
2884 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
2886 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
2887 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
2888 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
2889 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
2891 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
2892 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
2894 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
2895 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
2896 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
2899 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
2900 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
2901 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
2903 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
2905 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
2906 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
2907 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
2908 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
2909 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
2910 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
2911 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
2914 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
2915 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
2916 one of the SSL handshake functions.
2917 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
2919 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
2920 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
2921 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
2922 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
2923 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
2924 the client will at least see that alert.
2927 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
2931 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
2932 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
2933 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
2935 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
2936 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
2937 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
2938 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
2941 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
2942 before just sending a HelloRequest.
2943 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
2945 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
2946 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
2947 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
2948 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
2949 may leak via logfiles.)
2951 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
2952 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
2953 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
2954 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
2958 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
2959 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2962 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
2963 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
2964 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
2965 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
2966 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
2969 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
2970 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
2972 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
2973 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
2974 followed by modular reduction.
2975 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
2977 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
2978 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
2981 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
2982 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
2983 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
2984 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
2987 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
2990 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
2991 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
2994 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
2995 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
2996 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
2997 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
2998 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
2999 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3001 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3003 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3004 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3005 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3006 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3007 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3009 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3012 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3013 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3014 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3015 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3016 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3017 to allow the necessary settings.
3020 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3021 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3022 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3023 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3026 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3027 dh->length and always used
3029 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3031 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3032 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3033 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3034 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3035 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3040 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3042 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3048 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3049 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3050 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3051 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3053 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3054 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3055 always reject numbers >= n.
3058 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3059 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3060 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3061 variable) is not atomic.
3064 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3065 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3066 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3067 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3069 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3070 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3072 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3074 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3076 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3079 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3081 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3082 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3083 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3084 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3085 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3086 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3087 to traverse all of 'state'.
3089 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3090 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3091 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3093 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3094 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3096 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3097 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3098 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3099 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3100 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3101 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3102 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3103 further strengthens the PRNG.
3106 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3109 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3110 an error message in this case.
3113 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3116 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3117 positive and less than q.
3120 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3121 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3123 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3125 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3126 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3130 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3132 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3133 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3134 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3135 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3136 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3137 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3138 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3141 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3142 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3143 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3144 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3146 Both problems are now fixed.
3149 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3150 (previously it was 1024).
3153 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3154 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3157 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3160 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3161 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3162 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3165 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3166 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3167 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3168 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3169 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3170 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3171 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3172 environment variables.
3174 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3175 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3176 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3179 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3180 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3181 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3182 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3183 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3184 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3187 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3191 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3193 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3194 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3196 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3197 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3198 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3199 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3203 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3204 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3205 amount of data available.
3206 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3207 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3209 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3210 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
3211 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
3212 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
3215 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
3216 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
3220 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
3221 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
3222 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
3223 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
3226 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
3229 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
3232 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
3233 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
3235 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3237 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
3238 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
3239 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
3240 (but broken) behaviour.
3243 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
3245 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
3247 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
3248 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
3251 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
3255 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
3256 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
3258 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
3261 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
3262 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
3263 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
3265 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
3266 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
3267 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
3270 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
3271 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
3274 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
3275 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
3277 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
3279 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
3281 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
3282 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
3283 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
3284 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
3287 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
3290 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
3291 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
3292 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3294 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
3297 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3299 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
3300 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
3301 but the code is actually correct.
3304 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
3305 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
3306 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
3307 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
3308 and leaves the highest bit random.
3309 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
3311 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
3312 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
3313 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
3314 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
3315 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
3316 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
3317 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
3320 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
3323 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
3324 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
3327 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
3328 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
3329 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
3330 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
3334 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
3335 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
3336 and break the signature.
3338 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3340 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
3344 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
3345 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
3346 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
3347 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
3348 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
3351 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
3352 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
3354 *) ./config script fixes.
3355 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
3357 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
3360 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
3361 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
3362 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
3363 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
3364 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
3366 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
3367 call failed, free the DSA structure.
3370 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
3371 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
3374 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
3375 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
3376 when writing a 32767 byte record.
3377 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
3379 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
3380 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
3382 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
3383 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
3384 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
3385 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
3386 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
3388 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
3391 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
3394 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
3397 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
3400 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
3401 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
3404 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
3405 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
3406 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
3407 result of the server certificate verification.)
3410 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
3411 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
3412 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
3416 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
3417 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
3418 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
3419 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
3420 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
3421 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
3422 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
3423 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
3426 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
3427 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
3428 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
3429 happening the other way round.
3432 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
3433 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
3436 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
3437 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
3438 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
3439 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
3442 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
3443 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
3445 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
3447 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
3448 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
3449 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
3452 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
3454 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
3456 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
3460 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
3462 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
3463 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
3464 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
3465 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
3466 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
3468 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
3469 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
3473 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
3476 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
3478 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
3479 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
3480 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
3481 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
3482 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
3483 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
3484 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
3485 by the Finished messages.
3488 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
3489 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
3491 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
3492 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
3493 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
3494 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
3495 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
3499 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
3500 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
3501 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
3502 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
3503 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
3504 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
3505 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
3506 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
3507 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
3511 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
3512 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
3513 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
3514 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
3516 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
3517 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
3518 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
3519 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
3520 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
3523 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
3524 been tested well enough.
3527 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
3528 it can return incorrect results.
3529 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
3530 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
3533 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
3534 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
3535 include zero length content when signing messages.
3538 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
3539 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
3542 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
3545 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
3549 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
3550 packages. The default package contains applications, application
3551 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
3552 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
3553 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
3554 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
3557 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
3558 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3560 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
3561 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
3563 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
3564 random number < q in the DSA library.
3567 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
3568 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
3569 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
3570 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
3571 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
3572 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
3573 just makes things more complicated.)
3576 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
3580 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
3581 work better on such systems.
3582 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
3584 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
3585 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
3586 keyid to the certificates aux info.
3589 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
3590 if there was more than one signature.
3591 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
3593 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
3594 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
3595 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
3596 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
3599 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
3600 rather than always using the current time.
3603 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
3604 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
3605 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
3606 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
3607 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
3608 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
3610 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
3611 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
3613 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
3615 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
3616 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
3617 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
3618 the same hash value.
3620 As a result various functions (which were all internal
3621 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
3622 structure. This will break anything that messed round
3623 with X509_STORE internally.
3625 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
3626 exact match, rather than just subject name.
3628 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
3629 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
3630 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
3631 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
3632 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
3633 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
3634 entirely (maybe later...).
3636 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
3638 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
3639 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
3640 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
3641 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
3642 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
3643 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
3644 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
3645 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
3647 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
3648 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3650 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
3651 to customise the verify behaviour.
3654 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
3655 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
3658 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
3659 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
3660 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
3661 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
3662 request is improperly encoded.
3665 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
3666 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
3669 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
3670 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
3672 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
3673 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
3677 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
3678 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
3679 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
3682 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
3683 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
3684 BIO/fp routines also added.
3687 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
3688 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
3690 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
3691 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
3692 demos/state_machine.
3695 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
3696 generation and verification.
3699 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
3700 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
3701 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
3702 encode and decode it manually.
3705 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
3707 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
3709 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
3710 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
3711 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
3712 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
3714 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
3715 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
3716 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
3717 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
3718 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
3721 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
3724 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
3725 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
3726 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
3728 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
3729 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
3730 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
3731 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
3732 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
3733 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
3734 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
3735 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
3737 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
3738 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
3740 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
3742 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
3743 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
3744 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
3748 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
3749 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
3750 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
3751 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
3755 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
3757 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
3760 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
3761 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
3762 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
3763 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
3764 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
3765 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
3766 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
3767 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
3768 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
3769 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
3770 short or long names are found.
3773 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
3774 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
3776 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
3777 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
3778 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
3779 version rollback attacks was not effective.
3781 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
3782 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
3783 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
3784 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
3787 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
3788 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
3789 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
3792 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
3793 these print out strings and name structures based on various
3794 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
3795 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
3796 to allow the various flags to be set.
3799 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
3800 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
3801 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
3802 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
3803 dates to be checked.
3806 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
3807 negative public key encodings) on by default,
3808 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
3811 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
3812 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
3813 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
3816 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
3817 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
3820 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
3821 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
3822 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
3823 are always statically linked for now, but there are
3824 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
3825 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
3828 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
3829 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
3833 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
3837 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
3838 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
3839 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
3840 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
3841 form signing output easier to verify.
3844 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
3847 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
3848 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
3849 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
3850 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
3851 are needed because all other string types have virtually
3852 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
3853 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
3854 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
3855 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
3856 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
3859 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
3861 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
3862 the syntax given in objects.README.
3863 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
3865 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
3868 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
3869 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
3870 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
3871 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
3872 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
3873 consistent name changes.
3876 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
3879 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
3880 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
3881 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
3882 environment variable, or the default random state file.
3885 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
3886 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
3887 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
3891 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
3892 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
3893 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
3894 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
3897 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
3898 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
3899 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
3900 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
3901 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
3902 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
3903 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
3904 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
3905 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
3906 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
3907 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
3910 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
3911 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
3912 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
3913 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
3914 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
3915 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
3916 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
3917 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
3918 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
3919 algorithm to openssl-dev.
3922 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
3923 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
3924 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
3925 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
3927 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
3928 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
3929 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
3930 omit any duplicate addresses.
3933 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
3934 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
3937 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
3938 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
3939 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
3940 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
3941 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
3944 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
3946 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
3947 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
3948 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
3949 Free => OPENSSL_free
3952 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
3953 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
3956 *) CygWin32 support.
3957 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
3959 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
3960 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
3961 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
3962 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
3963 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
3967 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
3968 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
3969 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
3970 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
3971 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
3972 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
3973 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
3976 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
3977 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
3978 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
3979 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
3980 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
3981 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
3982 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
3983 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
3984 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
3985 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
3986 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
3989 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
3990 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
3991 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
3992 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
3993 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
3995 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
3996 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
3997 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
3998 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
3999 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4001 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4004 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4005 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4006 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4007 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4009 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4011 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4014 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4015 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4016 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4019 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4020 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4021 any installed hardware versions can.
4024 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4025 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4026 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4030 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4031 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4032 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4033 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4034 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4036 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4037 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4040 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4041 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4044 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4045 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4046 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4050 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4053 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4054 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4055 but no ssl client purpose.
4056 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4058 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4059 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4060 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4061 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4062 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4063 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4064 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4065 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4066 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4067 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4068 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4071 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4072 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4073 be obtained from the error queue.
4076 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4077 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4078 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4079 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4082 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4085 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4086 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4087 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4088 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4089 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4092 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4093 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4094 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4095 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4096 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4099 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4100 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4101 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4103 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4105 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4106 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4107 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4108 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4109 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4110 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4111 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4112 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4113 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4114 or "the configuration storage API"...
4116 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4118 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4119 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4121 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4123 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4125 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4126 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4127 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4128 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4129 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4130 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4131 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4133 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4134 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4137 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4138 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4139 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4140 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4143 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4144 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4145 them in a portable way.
4146 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4148 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4150 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4152 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4153 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4155 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4156 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4157 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4160 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4161 was larger than the MD block size.
4162 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4164 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4165 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4166 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4167 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4171 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4172 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4173 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4175 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4177 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4179 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4180 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4181 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4182 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4183 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4184 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4186 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4187 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4189 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4190 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4193 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4196 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4197 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4199 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4200 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4201 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4202 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4205 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4206 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4207 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4208 does not suppress any output.
4211 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
4212 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
4213 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
4214 with all the associated security issues.
4216 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
4217 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
4218 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
4219 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
4220 use the value in the default purpose.
4223 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
4224 and fix a memory leak.
4227 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
4228 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
4229 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
4230 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
4233 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
4234 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
4235 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
4236 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
4239 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
4240 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
4241 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
4244 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
4245 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
4248 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
4249 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
4253 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
4254 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
4257 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
4258 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
4259 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
4262 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
4263 number generation fails.
4266 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
4269 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
4270 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
4272 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
4275 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
4276 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
4278 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
4279 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
4281 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
4283 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
4284 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
4287 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
4288 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
4290 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
4291 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
4294 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
4295 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
4296 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
4297 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
4298 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
4299 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
4301 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
4302 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
4303 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
4307 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
4308 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
4309 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
4310 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
4311 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
4312 counter, some don't.)
4313 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
4314 counters or duplicate objects.
4317 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
4318 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
4321 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
4322 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
4323 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
4325 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
4326 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
4327 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
4331 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
4332 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
4335 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
4336 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
4337 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
4341 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
4342 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
4343 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
4346 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
4347 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
4348 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
4349 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
4350 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
4351 should work without changes.
4354 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
4355 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
4356 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
4357 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
4358 must be defined. E.g.,
4359 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
4360 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
4361 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
4362 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
4364 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
4368 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
4369 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
