5 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.9 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
8 key API, doesn't do much yet.
11 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
12 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
13 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
16 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
17 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
20 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
21 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
24 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
25 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they processes any key
29 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
30 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
31 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
35 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
36 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
37 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
38 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
39 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
40 of public and private key structures.
43 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
44 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
47 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
48 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
49 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
52 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
56 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
57 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
59 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
61 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
63 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
64 and response verification functionality.
65 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
67 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
68 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
69 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
70 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
71 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
72 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
73 server_name extension.
75 New functions (subject to change):
78 SSL_get_servername_type()
81 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
83 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
84 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
85 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
86 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
87 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_hostname()
89 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
91 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
92 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
93 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
94 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
95 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
96 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
99 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
101 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
104 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
105 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
106 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
107 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
108 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
111 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
113 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
114 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
115 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
117 The latter two were purportedly from
118 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
121 Other ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt
122 remain enabled for now, but are just as unofficial, and the ID
123 has long expired; these will probably disappear soon.
126 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
127 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
131 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
132 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
133 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
134 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
137 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
138 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
139 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
140 using the maximum available value.
143 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
144 in addition to the text details.
147 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
148 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
149 handle several customised structures at all.
152 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
153 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
154 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
157 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
160 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
161 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
162 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
165 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
166 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
167 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
170 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
171 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
175 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
178 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [XX xxx XXXX]
180 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
181 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
183 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
184 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
185 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
186 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
189 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
190 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
193 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
194 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
195 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
196 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
197 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
198 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
199 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
203 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
204 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
205 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
206 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
209 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
210 under VC++ build system.
213 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
214 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
217 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
219 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
220 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
221 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
222 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
223 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
225 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
226 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
227 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
229 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
232 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
233 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
236 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
237 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
239 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
242 *) Extended Windows CE support.
243 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
245 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
246 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
249 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
250 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
254 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
256 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
259 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
260 key into the same file any more.
263 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
266 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
267 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
269 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
270 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
273 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
274 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
275 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
276 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
277 this only applies when building 'shared'.
278 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
280 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
281 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
282 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
285 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
286 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
287 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
288 - add new function for parameter creation
289 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
290 BN_BLINDING parameters
291 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
292 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
293 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
297 *) Add support for DTLS.
298 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
300 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
301 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
304 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
305 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
308 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
309 the apps/openssl applications.
312 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
313 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
314 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
317 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
318 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
320 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
321 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
323 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
324 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
325 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
326 avoid this algorithm.)
330 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
331 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
332 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
335 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
336 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
339 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
340 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
341 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
344 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
346 The blank line is mandatory.
350 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
351 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
355 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
356 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
358 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
359 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
360 to support policy checking and print out.
363 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
364 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
365 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
366 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
368 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
371 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
372 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
374 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
375 implementation contributed by IBM.
376 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
378 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
379 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
380 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
381 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
383 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
384 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
386 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
387 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
388 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
389 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
390 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
391 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
394 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
395 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
396 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
397 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
398 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
399 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
400 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
403 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
406 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
407 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
408 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
409 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
410 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
411 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
412 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
413 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
416 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
417 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
418 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
419 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
422 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
425 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
428 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
429 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
430 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
431 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
432 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
433 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
437 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
438 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
441 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
442 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
443 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
446 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
447 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
448 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
452 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
453 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
456 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
457 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
458 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
459 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
462 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
463 initialised value as BN_new().
464 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
466 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
469 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
470 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
471 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
472 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
473 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
474 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
475 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
476 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
477 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
478 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
479 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
480 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
481 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
482 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
483 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
485 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
486 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
487 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
488 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
491 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
492 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
493 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
494 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
495 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
496 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
497 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
498 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
499 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
502 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
503 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
504 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
505 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
506 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
507 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
508 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
511 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
512 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
513 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
514 these have been updated also.
517 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
518 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
519 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
520 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
521 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
525 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
526 structure of type "other".
529 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
530 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
531 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
532 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
533 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
534 situation in the script.
535 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
537 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
538 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
539 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
540 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
541 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
542 used as premaster secret.
543 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
545 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
546 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
547 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
549 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
550 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
552 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
553 control of the error stack.
556 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
559 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
560 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
561 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
562 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
565 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
566 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
567 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
570 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
571 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
572 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
576 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
577 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
578 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
579 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
582 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
583 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
584 the following flags are defined:
586 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
587 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
588 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
591 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
592 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
593 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
594 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
598 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
599 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
600 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
601 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
602 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
605 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
606 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
607 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
610 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
611 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
612 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
613 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
614 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
615 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
618 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
622 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
625 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
628 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
631 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
632 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
633 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
634 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
635 default implementation more easily.
638 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
642 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
643 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
646 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
647 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
648 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
649 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
651 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
652 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
653 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
657 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
658 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
662 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
663 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
664 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
665 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
666 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
668 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
670 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
671 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
672 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
676 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
677 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
678 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
679 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
680 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
681 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
682 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
683 linker additions, eg;
684 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
687 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
688 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
689 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
692 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
693 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
694 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
698 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
699 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
700 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
701 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
704 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
705 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
706 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
707 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
708 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
709 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
710 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
711 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
712 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
713 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
715 Example for using the new callback interface:
717 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
721 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
723 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
724 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
725 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
726 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
727 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
728 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
733 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
734 available to TLS with the number defined in
735 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
738 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
739 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
741 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
742 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
743 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
744 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
746 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
747 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
749 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
750 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
754 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
755 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
758 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
759 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
760 and a macro that behave like
761 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
763 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
766 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
767 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
768 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
770 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
772 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
775 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
776 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
777 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
778 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
780 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
781 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
782 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
783 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
784 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
785 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
786 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
787 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
789 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
790 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
793 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
794 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
796 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
797 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
798 files while avoiding the low level API.
800 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
801 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
802 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
803 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
805 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
806 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
807 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
808 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
809 instead of the low level API.
812 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
813 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
814 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
815 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
816 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
819 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
820 down to the template encoder.
823 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
824 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
827 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
828 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
829 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
830 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
832 *) Add ECDH engine support.
833 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
835 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
836 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
838 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
839 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
842 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
843 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
844 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
847 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
848 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
850 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
851 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
853 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
854 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
857 EC_GF2m_simple_method
861 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
862 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
863 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
864 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
865 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
866 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
868 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
869 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
872 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
873 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
874 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
875 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
876 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
877 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
878 various internal method names.)
880 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
881 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
883 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
884 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
886 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
887 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
889 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
890 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
891 methods are undefined.
893 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
894 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
896 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
897 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
898 length of the modulus.
900 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
901 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
903 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
904 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
906 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
907 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
909 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
910 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
911 used) in the following functions [macros]:
914 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
915 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
916 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
917 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
919 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
920 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
921 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
922 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
924 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
925 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
927 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
928 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
929 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
930 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
931 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
933 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
934 This applies to the following functions:
939 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
940 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
943 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
947 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
952 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
954 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
955 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
956 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
957 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
958 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
960 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
961 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
963 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
964 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
965 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
967 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
968 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
970 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
971 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
972 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
973 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
974 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
976 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
978 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
979 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
980 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
981 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
982 These control ASN1 encoding details:
983 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
984 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
985 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
986 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
987 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
988 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
989 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
991 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
995 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
996 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
997 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
999 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
1000 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
1001 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
1002 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1007 EC_POINT_point2hex()
1008 EC_POINT_hex2point()
1009 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
1010 EC_POINT_oct2point().
1011 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1013 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
1014 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
1015 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
1016 EC_GROUP_get_order()
1017 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
1018 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
1019 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
1020 adding different types of curves.
1021 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
1023 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
1024 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
1025 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
1028 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
1029 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
1031 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
1032 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
1033 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
1034 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1036 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
1038 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
1039 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
1041 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
1042 library. Most notably,
1043 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
1044 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
1045 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
1046 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
1047 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
1048 extracted before the specific public key;
1049 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
1050 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
1052 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
1053 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
1055 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
1056 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
1057 EC_get_builtin_curves().
1058 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
1060 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
1061 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
1062 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
1064 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
1065 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
1066 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
1067 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
1068 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
1069 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
1073 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
1075 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
1076 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
1077 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
1078 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
1079 the difference induced by this change.
1082 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
1084 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1085 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1086 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1087 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1088 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1090 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1091 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1092 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1094 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
1095 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
1098 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
1099 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
1100 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
1101 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
1105 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
1106 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
1107 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
1108 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
1109 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
1111 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
1112 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
1113 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
1114 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
1115 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
1116 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
1118 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
1120 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
1121 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
1122 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
1123 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
1124 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
1127 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
1131 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
1132 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
1133 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
1136 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
1137 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
1138 structures constant.
1141 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
1143 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1146 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
1147 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
1148 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
1149 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
1150 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
1151 some needed definitions.
1154 *) Undo Cygwin change.
1157 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
1158 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
1159 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
1160 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
1163 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
1165 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
1166 server and client random values. Previously
1167 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
1168 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
1170 This change has negligible security impact because:
1172 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
1175 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
1178 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
1179 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
1182 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
1185 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
1187 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
1190 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
1191 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
1192 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
1194 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
1197 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
1198 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
1201 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
1202 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
1203 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
1205 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
1208 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
1209 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
1210 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
1214 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
1215 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
1216 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
1217 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
1219 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
1220 has chosen to ignore this fault)
1221 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
1222 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
1226 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
1228 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
1229 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
1230 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
1231 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
1232 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
1235 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
1238 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
1239 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
1241 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
1242 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
1243 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
1244 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
1245 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
1246 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
1247 rather than being initialized to 1.
1250 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
1252 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
1253 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
1254 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1256 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
1258 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
1260 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1261 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1262 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1263 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1264 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1265 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1268 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
1269 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
1270 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
1271 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
1272 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
1276 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
1277 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
1278 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
1279 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
1280 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
1283 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
1284 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
1285 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
1289 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
1290 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1292 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
1295 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
1297 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
1299 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
1300 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
1302 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
1304 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
1305 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
1309 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
1310 exiting on the first error in a request.
1313 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
1314 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
1318 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
1319 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
1320 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
1321 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
1323 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
1324 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
1327 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
1328 blocks during encryption.
1331 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
1332 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
1333 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
1334 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
1338 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
1339 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
1340 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
1341 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
1342 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
1346 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
1348 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
1349 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
1350 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
1351 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
1354 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
1355 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
1356 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
1357 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
1358 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
1360 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
1361 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
1362 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
1363 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
1364 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
1365 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
1366 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
1367 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
1368 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
1371 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
1372 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
1373 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
1374 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
1377 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
1378 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
1381 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
1383 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
1384 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
1385 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
1386 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
1387 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
1389 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
1390 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
1391 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
1393 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
1394 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
1395 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
1396 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
1397 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
1399 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
1400 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
1401 used by default when no-err is given.
1404 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
1405 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
1407 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
1408 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
1409 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
1410 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
1411 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
1413 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
1414 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
1415 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
1416 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
1418 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
1420 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
1422 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
1424 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
1425 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
1426 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
1427 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
1431 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
1432 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1434 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
1435 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
1438 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
1439 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
1440 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
1441 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
1444 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
1445 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
1446 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
1447 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
1448 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
1449 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1450 followup to PR #377.
1453 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
1454 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
1457 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
1458 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
1459 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.
1460 [Richard Levitte & Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>]
1462 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.7 [31 Dec 2002]
1464 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.6i and later 0.9.6 patch levels were released after
1467 *) Fix session ID handling in SSLv2 client code: the SERVER FINISHED
1468 code (06) was taken as the first octet of the session ID and the last
1469 octet was ignored consequently. As a result SSLv2 client side session
1470 caching could not have worked due to the session ID mismatch between
1472 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
1476 *) Change the declaration of needed Kerberos libraries to use EX_LIBS
1477 instead of the special (and badly supported) LIBKRB5. LIBKRB5 is
1481 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
1482 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
1483 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
1484 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
1485 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
1486 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
1488 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
1489 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
1490 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
1491 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
1492 have to be made anyway).
1495 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
1496 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
1497 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
1500 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
1501 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
1502 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
1505 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
1506 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
1507 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
1509 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
1510 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
1511 edit numbers of the version.
1512 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
1514 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
1515 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
1516 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
1518 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
1519 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1521 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1522 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1523 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1525 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
1526 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1528 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
1529 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1531 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
1532 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1534 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
1535 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1537 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
1539 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1541 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
1542 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
1543 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1545 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
1546 representations in a platform independent manner.
1547 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1549 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
1550 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
1551 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1553 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
1555 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1557 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
1558 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1560 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
1562 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1564 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
1565 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.

1568 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
1570 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1572 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
1573 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1575 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
1576 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1578 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
1579 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1581 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
1582 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1584 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
1586 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1588 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
1589 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1591 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.

1594 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
1595 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
1597 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1599 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
1600 the 0.9.6 release series:
1602 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
1603 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
1605 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
1607 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
1610 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
1611 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
1613 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
1614 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
1616 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
1617 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
1618 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
1619 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
1621 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
1622 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
1623 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
1625 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
1626 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
1627 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
1628 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
1630 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
1631 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
1632 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
1635 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
1636 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
1637 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
1638 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1639 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
1640 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
1641 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
1642 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
1645 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
1646 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
1647 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
1650 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
1651 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
1652 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
1653 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
1654 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
1656 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
1657 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
1659 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
1660 error in AES-CFB decryption.
1663 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
1664 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
1665 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
1666 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
1667 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
1668 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
1671 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
1672 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
1673 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
1676 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
1677 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
1680 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
1681 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
1682 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
1683 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
1684 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
1685 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
1686 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
1689 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
1690 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
1691 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
1692 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
1693 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
1694 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
1697 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
1698 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
1699 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
1700 declaration has been changed from
1703 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
1704 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
1705 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
1706 has been changed into
1707 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
1709 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
1710 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
1711 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
1713 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
1714 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
1716 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
1717 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
1718 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
1719 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
1720 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
1721 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
1722 always load it have also been added.
1725 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
1726 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
1727 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1729 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
1731 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
1732 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
1733 because it couldn't be used for anything.
1735 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
1736 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
1737 command line option can be used to specify an
1741 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
1742 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
1745 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
1746 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
1747 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
1750 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
1751 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
1752 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
1753 to work with the new engine framework.
1754 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
1756 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
1757 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
1758 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
1759 to work with the new engine framework.
1762 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
1763 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
1764 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
1766 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.

1770 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
1771 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
1772 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
1774 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1776 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
1777 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
1779 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
1780 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
1782 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
1783 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
1784 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
1787 *) Add new functions
1789 ERR_peek_last_error_line
1790 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
1791 These are similar to
1794 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
1795 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
1796 still in the error queue.
1797 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
1799 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
1801 default_algorithms = ALL
1802 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
1805 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
1808 *) New experimental application configuration code.
1811 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
1812 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
1813 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
1814 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
1816 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
1817 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
1819 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
1820 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1822 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
1823 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
1826 *) New functions/macros
1828 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
1829 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1830 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
1831 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
1833 to request calling a callback function
1835 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
1836 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
1838 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
1839 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
1840 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
1841 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
1842 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
1843 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
1844 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
1845 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
1846 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
1847 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
1849 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
1850 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
1853 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
1854 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
1855 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
1856 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
1857 the configuration scripts.
1859 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
1860 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
1861 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
1863 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
1864 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
1866 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
1867 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
1868 when reusing an existing buffer.
1871 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
1872 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
1875 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
1876 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
1879 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
1880 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
1881 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
1882 has the same effect.
1883 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
1885 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
1886 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
1887 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
1888 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
1889 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
1890 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
1893 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
1894 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
1895 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
1896 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
1898 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
1899 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
1900 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
1901 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
1903 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
1904 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
1907 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
1908 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
1909 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
1910 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
1911 default), and then completely removed.
1914 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
1915 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
1916 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
1917 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
1918 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
1919 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
1920 particular extension is supported.
1923 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
1924 to retain compatibility with existing code.
1927 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
1928 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
1929 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
1930 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
1931 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
1932 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
1933 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
1934 requires the destination to be valid.
1936 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
1937 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
1940 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
1941 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
1942 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
1945 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
1946 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
1948 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
1949 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
1950 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
1951 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
1952 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
1953 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
1954 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
1955 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
1956 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
1957 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
1958 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
1959 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
1960 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
1961 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
1962 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
1963 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
1964 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
1965 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
1966 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
1970 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
1973 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
1974 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
1975 become part of libeay.num as well.
1978 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
1979 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
1980 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
1981 false once a handshake has been completed.
1982 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
1983 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
1984 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
1985 client has followed the request.)
1988 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
1989 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
1990 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
1991 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
1993 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
1994 more bits available for options that should not be part of
1995 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
1998 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
2001 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
2002 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
2003 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
2006 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
2007 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
2010 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
2011 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
2012 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
2013 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
2016 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
2017 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
2018 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
2019 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
2020 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
2021 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
2024 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
2025 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
2026 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
2027 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
2028 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
2029 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
2030 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
2031 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
2034 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
2035 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
2038 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
2041 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
2042 md_data void pointer.
2045 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
2046 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
2047 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
2048 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
2049 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
2050 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
2053 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
2054 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
2055 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
2056 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
2057 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
2058 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
2059 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
2060 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
2061 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
2062 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
2063 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
2064 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
2065 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
2066 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
2067 rather than letting it slide.
2069 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
2070 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
2071 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
2074 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
2075 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
2076 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
2077 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
2078 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
2079 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
2080 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
2081 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
2082 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
2085 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
2086 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
2087 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
2088 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
2089 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
2091 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
2094 *) Add EVP test program.
2097 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
2100 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
2101 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
2102 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
2103 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
2104 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
2107 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
2108 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
2109 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
2110 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
2111 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
2112 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
2113 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
2115 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
2116 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
2117 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
2122 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
2123 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
2124 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
2125 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
2126 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
2130 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
2131 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
2132 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
2133 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
2136 des_key_schedule ks;
2138 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
2139 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
2141 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
2144 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
2145 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
2146 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
2147 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
2148 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
2149 functions prevents this.
2152 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
2155 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
2156 correct _ecb suffix.
2159 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
2160 revocation information is handled using the text based index
2161 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
2162 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
2163 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
2166 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
2169 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
2170 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
2171 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
2172 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
2174 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
2175 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
2177 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
2178 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
2179 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
2180 via Richard Levitte]
2182 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
2183 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
2184 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
2185 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
2188 *) Speed up EVP routines.
2191 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
2192 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

2206 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
2207 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
2209 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
2210 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
2211 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
2212 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
2213 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
2214 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
2217 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
2218 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
2221 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
2222 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
2223 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
2224 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
2226 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
2227 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
2228 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
2229 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
2230 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
2231 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
2235 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
2236 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
2237 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
2238 and interrupts/cancellations.
2241 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
2242 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
2245 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
2246 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
2247 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
2249 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
2250 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
2254 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
2255 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
2256 than this minimum value is recommended.
2259 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
2260 that are easily reachable.
2263 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
2264 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
2266 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
2268 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
2269 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
2270 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
2271 needed for static libraries under Win32.
2274 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
2275 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
2276 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
2279 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
2280 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
2281 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
2282 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
2283 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
2284 internally such as S/MIME.
2286 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
2287 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
2288 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
2290 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
2294 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
2295 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
2296 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
2297 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
2299 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2301 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
2303 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
2304 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
2305 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
2309 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
2310 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
2311 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
2312 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
2313 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
2314 a window system and the like.
2317 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
2318 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
2321 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
2322 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
2323 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
2324 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
2325 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
2326 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
2327 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
2328 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
2329 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
2333 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
2334 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
2338 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
2339 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
2340 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
2341 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
2342 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
2343 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
2344 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
2345 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
2348 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
2349 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
2350 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
2351 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
2352 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
2353 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
2354 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
2355 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
2356 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
2357 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
2358 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
2359 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
2360 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
2361 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
2362 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
2363 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
2364 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
2367 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
2368 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
2369 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
2370 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
2371 internal engine_int.h header.
2374 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
2375 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
2376 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
2377 modify their own ones).
2380 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
2381 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
2382 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
2383 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
2384 later on via ctrl() commands.
2385 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
2386 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
2387 structural references.
2388 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
2389 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
2390 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
2391 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
2392 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
2393 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
2394 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
2395 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
2396 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
2397 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
2398 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
2399 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
2402 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
2403 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
2404 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
2405 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
2406 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
2407 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
2408 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
2409 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
2412 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
2413 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
2416 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
2417 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
2420 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
2421 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
2422 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
2423 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
2424 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
2425 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
2426 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
2429 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
2430 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
2431 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
2432 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
2433 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
2435 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
2436 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
2440 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
2442 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
2443 operations and provides various method functions that can also
2444 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
2446 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
2447 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
2449 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
2450 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
2451 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
2453 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
2454 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
2456 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
2457 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
2459 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
2461 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
2462 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
2463 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
2466 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
2467 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
2470 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
2471 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
2472 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
2473 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
2474 is 40 of more characters long.
2477 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
2478 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
2482 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
2483 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
2486 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
2487 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
2491 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
2493 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
2494 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
2497 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
2499 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
2500 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
2501 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
2503 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
2504 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
2506 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
2509 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
2513 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
2514 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
2515 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
2516 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
2518 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
2520 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
2521 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
2523 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
2524 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
2525 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
2526 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
2527 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
2528 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
2530 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
2531 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
2533 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
2534 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2536 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
2537 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
2539 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
2540 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
2541 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
2542 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
2544 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
2545 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
2547 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
2548 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
2550 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
2551 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
2552 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
2553 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
2554 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
2557 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
2558 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
2559 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
2560 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
2563 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
2564 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
2565 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
2569 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
2570 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
2571 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
2572 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
2573 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
2574 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
2575 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
2576 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
2580 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
2581 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
2584 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
2585 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
2586 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
2587 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
2590 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
2591 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
2592 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
2593 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
2594 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
2595 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
2596 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
2597 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
2598 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
2599 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
2602 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
2603 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
2604 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
2605 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
2606 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
2607 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
2608 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
2609 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
2611 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
2612 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
2613 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
2614 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
2617 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
2618 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
2619 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
2620 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
2622 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
2623 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
2624 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
2625 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
2626 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
2630 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
2631 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
2632 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
2633 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
2637 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
2638 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
2639 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
2642 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
2643 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
2644 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
2645 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
2646 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
2649 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
2652 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
2653 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
2654 option to ocsp utility.
2657 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
2658 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
2659 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
2660 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
2661 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
2662 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
2663 the request is nonce-less.
2666 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
2667 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
2668 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
2671 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
2672 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
2673 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
2676 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
2677 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
2678 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
2679 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
2680 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
2683 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
2684 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
2688 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
2689 additional certificates supplied.
2692 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
2693 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
2697 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
2698 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
2701 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
2702 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
2703 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
2704 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
2705 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
2706 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
2707 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
2708 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
2709 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2711 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
2712 request to response.
2715 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
2716 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
2717 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
2718 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
2719 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
2720 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
2721 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
2722 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
2723 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
2724 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
2725 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
2728 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
2729 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
2730 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
2731 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
2734 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
2735 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2737 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
2738 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
2739 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
2742 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
2743 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
2744 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
2745 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2746 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2748 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
2749 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
2750 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
2753 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
2754 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
2755 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
2756 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
2757 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
2758 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
2759 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
2760 <support@securenetterm.com>]
2762 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
2763 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
2764 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
2765 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
2766 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
2767 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
2770 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
2771 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
2772 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
2773 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
2774 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
2775 printout format cleaned up.
2778 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
2779 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
2780 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
2781 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
2782 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
2783 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
2784 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
2785 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
2788 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
2789 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
2790 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
2791 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
2792 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
2793 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
2794 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
2795 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
2798 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
2799 extensions from a separate configuration file.
2800 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
2801 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
2803 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2805 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
2806 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
2807 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
2808 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
2811 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
2812 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
2813 the given serial number (according to the index file).
2814 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
2816 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
2818 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
2819 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
2820 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
2821 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2823 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
2824 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
2826 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
2827 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
2828 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
2831 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
2832 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
2833 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
2836 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
2837 file name and line number information in additional arguments
2838 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
2839 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
2840 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
2841 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
2842 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
2843 functions are provided:
2845 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
2846 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
2847 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
2848 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
2850 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
2851 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
2852 extended allocation function is enabled.
2853 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
2854 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
2855 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
2857 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
2858 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
2859 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
2860 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
2861 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
2864 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
2865 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
2866 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
2868 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
2869 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
2870 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
2873 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
2874 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
2875 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
2876 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
2877 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
2878 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
2879 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
2880 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
2881 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
2884 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
2885 provide utility functions which an application needing
2886 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
2887 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
2888 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
2890 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
2891 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
2892 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
2893 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
2894 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
2895 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
2896 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
2897 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
2898 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
2900 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
2901 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
2902 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
2903 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
2906 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
2907 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
2908 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
2909 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
2910 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
2911 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
2912 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
2913 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
2914 will be added elsewhere.
2917 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
2918 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
2919 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
2920 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
2923 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
2924 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
2925 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
2926 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
2927 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
2928 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
2929 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
2930 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
2931 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
2932 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
2933 to produce the required SET OF.
2936 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
2937 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
2938 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
2941 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
2942 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
2943 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
2944 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
2945 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
2946 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
2949 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
2950 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
2951 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
2954 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
2955 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
2956 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
2959 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
2960 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
2961 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
2962 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
2963 code will still work when these eventually go away.
2966 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
2967 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
2970 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
2971 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
2972 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
2973 certifcates and CRLs.
2976 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
2977 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
2978 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
2981 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
2982 entries for variables.
2985 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
2986 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
2987 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
2988 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
2991 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
2992 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
2993 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
2994 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
2995 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
2996 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
2999 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
3000 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
3002 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
3003 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
3004 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
3007 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
3011 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
3012 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
3013 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
3014 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
3015 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
3016 order did not reflect the encoded order.
3019 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
3022 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
3023 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
3024 for now but they will eventually go away.
3027 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
3028 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
3029 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
3030 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
3031 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
3032 has also been converted to the new form.
3035 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
3036 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
3037 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
3038 for negative moduli.
3041 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
3042 of not touching the result's sign bit.
3045 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
3049 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
3050 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
3051 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
3052 type-specific callbacks.
3055 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
3057 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3058 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
3060 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
3061 in sections depending on the subject.
3064 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
3068 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
3069 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
3070 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
3071 be handled deterministically).
3072 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3074 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
3075 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
3076 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
3079 *) New function BN_kronecker.
3082 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
3083 positive unless both parameters are zero.
3084 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
3085 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
3086 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
3089 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
3090 sign of the number in question.
3092 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
3094 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
3095 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
3096 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
3097 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
3098 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
3101 *) New function BN_swap.
3104 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
3105 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
3106 results on negative inputs.
3109 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
3110 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
3111 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
3114 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
3115 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
3116 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
3117 and add new functions:
3126 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
3130 These functions always generate non-negative results.
3132 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
3133 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
3135 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
3136 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
3137 be reduced modulo m.
3138 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
3141 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
3142 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
3143 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
3145 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3146 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3147 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3148 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3149 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3150 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3155 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
3156 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
3157 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
3158 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
3159 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
3161 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
3162 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
3163 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
3167 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
3170 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
3171 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
3174 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
3175 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
3176 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
3177 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
3181 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
3184 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
3187 *) Add the following functions:
3189 ENGINE_load_cswift()
3191 ENGINE_load_atalla()
3193 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
3195 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
3196 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
3197 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
3198 libraries unless it's really needed.
3200 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
3201 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
3202 declarations (they differed!).
3205 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
3208 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
3211 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
3214 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
3215 identity, and test if they are actually available.
3218 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
3219 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
3220 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
3222 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
3223 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
3226 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
3229 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
3232 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
3235 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
3236 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
3237 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
3239 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
3240 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
3241 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
3242 different shared library filenames on each system.
3245 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
3248 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
3249 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
3250 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
3252 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
3255 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
3256 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
3257 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
3258 binary backward compatibility.
3259 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
3260 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
3261 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
3265 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
3266 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
3267 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
3268 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
3272 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
3275 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
3276 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
3277 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
3278 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
3282 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
3285 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
3287 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3288 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3289 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3291 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
3293 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
3295 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
3296 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
3299 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
3301 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
3303 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
3304 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
3306 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
3307 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
3311 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
3312 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
3316 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
3317 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
3318 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
3319 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
3321 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
3322 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
3325 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
3327 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
3328 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
3329 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
3330 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
3333 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
3334 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
3335 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
3336 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
3337 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3339 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
3340 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
3341 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
3342 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
3343 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
3344 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
3345 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
3346 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
3347 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
3350 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
3352 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
3353 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
3354 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
3355 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
3356 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
3358 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
3359 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
3360 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
3362 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
3364 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
3365 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
3366 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
3367 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
3368 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
3369 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
3372 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
3373 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
3374 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
3375 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
3376 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
3379 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
3380 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
3381 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
3383 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
3384 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
3385 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
3389 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
3390 being properly terminated.
3393 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
3394 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
3395 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
3396 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
3398 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
3399 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
3400 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
3401 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
3402 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
3403 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
3404 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
3406 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
3408 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
3409 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
3412 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
3413 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
3414 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
3415 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
3416 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
3417 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
3418 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
3419 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
3421 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
3422 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
3423 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
3424 (see [openssl.org #212]).
3425 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
3427 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
3428 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
3431 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
3433 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
3434 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
3435 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
3437 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
3439 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
3440 and get fix the header length calculation.
3441 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
3442 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
3445 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
3446 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
3447 assertions could call abort()).
3448 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
3450 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
3452 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3453 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3454 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3456 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3458 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
3459 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
3460 by the selection routines (PR #130).
3463 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
3467 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
3468 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
3469 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
3471 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
3472 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
3473 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
3474 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
3475 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
3479 *) Changes in security patch:
3481 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
3482 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
3483 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
3486 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
3487 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
3488 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
3489 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
3490 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
3492 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
3494 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3496 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
3497 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
3498 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
3500 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3501 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
3502 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3504 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
3505 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
3506 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3508 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
3510 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
3511 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
3512 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
3514 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
3515 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3517 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
3518 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
3519 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
3520 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
3521 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
3522 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
3525 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
3526 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
3527 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
3528 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
3531 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
3534 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
3535 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
3536 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
3537 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
3538 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
3539 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3541 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
3542 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
3543 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
3544 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
3545 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
3548 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
3549 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
3550 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
3551 BN_generate_prime().)
3553 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
3554 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
3555 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
3559 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
3560 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
3563 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
3564 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
3565 when using non-blocking I/O.
3566 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
3568 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
3569 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
3571 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
3572 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
3575 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
3576 configuration for the versions before that.
3577 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3579 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
3580 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
3581 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
3582 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
3585 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
3586 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
3587 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
3590 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
3594 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
3595 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3596 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3598 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
3599 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
3601 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
3602 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
3603 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
3604 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
3605 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
3606 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
3607 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
3610 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
3611 using a local variable.
3612 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3614 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
3615 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
3616 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
3618 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
3621 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
3622 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
3624 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
3625 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
3626 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
3628 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
3630 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
3631 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
3632 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
3633 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
3636 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
3640 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
3641 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
3642 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
3643 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
3644 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
3646 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
3647 returns early because it has nothing to do.
3648 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3650 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3651 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
3652 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3654 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3655 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
3656 (Use engine 'keyclient')
3657 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
3659 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
3660 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
3661 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
3663 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
3665 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3666 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
3668 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
3670 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3671 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
3672 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3673 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
3675 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
3676 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
3677 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3678 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
3680 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
3681 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
3683 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
3684 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
3685 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
3688 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
3689 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
3690 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
3692 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
3694 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
3695 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
3696 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
3697 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
3698 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
3699 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
3700 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
3703 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
3704 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
3705 one of the SSL handshake functions.
3706 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
3708 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
3709 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
3710 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
3711 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
3712 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
3713 the client will at least see that alert.
3716 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
3720 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
3721 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
3722 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
3724 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
3725 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
3726 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
3727 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
3730 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
3731 before just sending a HelloRequest.
3732 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
3734 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
3735 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
3736 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
3737 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
3738 may leak via logfiles.)
3740 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
3741 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
3742 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
3743 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
3747 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
3748 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3751 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
3752 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
3753 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
3754 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
3755 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
3758 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
3759 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
3761 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
3762 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
3763 followed by modular reduction.
3764 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
3766 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
3767 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
3770 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
3771 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
3772 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
3773 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
3776 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
3779 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
3780 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
3783 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
3784 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
3785 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
3786 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
3787 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
3788 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
3790 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
3792 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
3793 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
3794 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
3795 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
3796 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
3798 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
3801 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
3802 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
3803 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
3804 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
3805 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
3806 to allow the necessary settings.
3809 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
3810 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
3811 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
3812 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
3815 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
3816 dh->length and always used
3818 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
3820 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
3821 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
3822 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
3823 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
3824 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
3829 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
3831 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
3837 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
3838 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
3839 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
3840 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
3842 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
3843 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
3844 always reject numbers >= n.
3847 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
3848 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
3849 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
3850 variable) is not atomic.
3853 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
3854 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
3855 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
3856 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
3858 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
3859 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
3861 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
3863 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
3865 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
3868 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
3870 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
3871 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
3872 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
3873 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
3874 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
3875 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
3876 to traverse all of 'state'.
3878 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
3879 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
3880 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
3882 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
3883 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
3885 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
3886 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
3887 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
3888 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
3889 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
3890 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
3891 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
3892 further strengthens the PRNG.
3895 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
3898 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
3899 an error message in this case.
3902 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
3905 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
3906 positive and less than q.
3909 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
3910 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
3912 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
3914 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
3915 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
3919 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3921 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
3922 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
3923 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
3924 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
3925 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
3926 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
3927 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
3930 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
3931 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
3932 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
3933 detect the supposedly ignored error.
3935 Both problems are now fixed.
3938 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
3939 (previously it was 1024).
3942 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
3943 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
3946 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
3949 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
3950 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
3951 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
3954 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
3955 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
3956 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
3957 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
3958 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
3959 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
3960 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
3961 environment variables.
3963 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
3964 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
3965 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
3968 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
3969 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
3970 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
3971 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
3972 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
3973 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
3976 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
3980 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
3982 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
3983 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
3985 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
3986 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
3987 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
3988 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
3992 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
3993 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
3994 amount of data available.
3995 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
3996 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
3998 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
3999 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
4000 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
4001 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
4004 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
4005 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
4009 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
4010 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
4011 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
4012 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
4015 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
4018 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
4021 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
4022 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
4024 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4026 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
4027 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
4028 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
4029 (but broken) behaviour.
4032 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
4034 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
4036 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
4037 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
4040 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
4044 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
4045 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
4047 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
4050 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
4051 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
4052 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
4054 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
4055 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
4056 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
4059 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
4060 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
4063 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
4064 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
4066 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
4068 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
4070 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
4071 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
4072 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
4073 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
4076 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
4079 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
4080 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
4081 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4083 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
4086 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4088 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
4089 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
4090 but the code is actually correct.
4093 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
4094 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
4095 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
4096 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
4097 and leaves the highest bit random.
4098 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4100 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
4101 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
4102 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
4103 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
4104 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
4105 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
4106 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
4109 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
4112 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
4113 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
4116 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
4117 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
4118 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
4119 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
4123 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
4124 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
4125 and break the signature.
4127 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
4129 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
4133 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
4134 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
4135 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
4136 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
4137 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
4140 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
4141 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
4143 *) ./config script fixes.
4144 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
4146 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
4149 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
4150 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
4151 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
4152 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
4153 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
4155 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
4156 call failed, free the DSA structure.
4159 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
4160 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
4163 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
4164 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
4165 when writing a 32767 byte record.
4166 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
4168 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
4169 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
4171 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
4172 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
4173 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
4174 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
4175 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
4177 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
4180 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
4183 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
4186 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
4189 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
4190 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
4193 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
4194 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
4195 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
4196 result of the server certificate verification.)
4199 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
4200 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
4201 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
4205 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
4206 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
4207 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
4208 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
4209 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
4210 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
4211 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
4212 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
4215 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
4216 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
4217 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
4218 happening the other way round.
4221 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
4222 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
4225 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
4226 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
4227 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
4228 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
4231 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
4232 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
4234 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
4236 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
4237 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
4238 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
4241 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
4243 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
4245 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
4249 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
4251 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
4252 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
4253 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
4254 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
4255 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
4257 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
4258 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
4262 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
4265 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
4267 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
4268 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
4269 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
4270 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
4271 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
4272 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
4273 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
4274 by the Finished messages.
4277 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
4278 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
4280 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
4281 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
4282 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
4283 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
4284 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
4288 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
4289 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
4290 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
4291 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
4292 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
4293 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
4294 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
4295 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
4296 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
4300 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
4301 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
4302 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
4303 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
4305 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
4306 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
4307 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
4308 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
4309 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
4312 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
4313 been tested well enough.
4316 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
4317 it can return incorrect results.
4318 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
4319 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
4322 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
4323 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
4324 include zero length content when signing messages.
4327 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
4328 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
4331 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
4334 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
4338 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
4339 packages. The default package contains applications, application
4340 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
4341 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
4342 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
4343 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
4346 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
4347 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
4349 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
4350 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
4352 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
4353 random number < q in the DSA library.
4356 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
4357 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
4358 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
4359 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
4360 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
4361 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
4362 just makes things more complicated.)
4365 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
4369 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
4370 work better on such systems.
4371 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4373 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
4374 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
4375 keyid to the certificates aux info.
4378 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
4379 if there was more than one signature.
4380 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
4382 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
4383 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
4384 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
4385 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
4388 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
4389 rather than always using the current time.
4392 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
4393 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
4394 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
4395 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
4396 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
4397 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
4399 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
4400 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
4402 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
4404 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
4405 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
4406 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
4407 the same hash value.
4409 As a result various functions (which were all internal
4410 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
4411 structure. This will break anything that messed round
4412 with X509_STORE internally.
4414 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
4415 exact match, rather than just subject name.
4417 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
4418 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
4419 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
4420 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
4421 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
4422 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
4423 entirely (maybe later...).
4425 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
4427 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
4428 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
4429 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
4430 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
4431 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
4432 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
4433 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
4434 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
4436 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
4437 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
4439 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
4440 to customise the verify behaviour.
4443 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
4444 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
4447 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
4448 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
4449 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
4450 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
4451 request is improperly encoded.
4454 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
4455 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
4458 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
4459 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
4461 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
4462 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
4466 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
4467 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
4468 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
4471 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
4472 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
4473 BIO/fp routines also added.
4476 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
4477 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
4479 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
4480 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
4481 demos/state_machine.
4484 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
4485 generation and verification.
4488 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
4489 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
4490 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
4491 encode and decode it manually.
4494 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
4496 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
4498 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
4499 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
4500 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
4501 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
4503 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
4504 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
4505 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
4506 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
4507 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
4510 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
4513 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
4514 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
4515 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
4517 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
4518 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
4519 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
4520 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
4521 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
4522 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
4523 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
4524 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
4526 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
4527 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
4529 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
4531 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
4532 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
4533 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
4537 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
4538 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
4539 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
4540 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
4544 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
4546 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
4549 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
4550 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
4551 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
4552 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
4553 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
4554 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
4555 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
4556 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
4557 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
4558 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
4559 short or long names are found.
4562 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
4563 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
4565 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
4566 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
4567 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
4568 version rollback attacks was not effective.
4570 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
4571 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
4572 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
4573 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
4576 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
4577 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
4578 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
4581 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
4582 these print out strings and name structures based on various
4583 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
4584 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
4585 to allow the various flags to be set.
4588 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
4589 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
4590 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
4591 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
4592 dates to be checked.
4595 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
4596 negative public key encodings) on by default,
4597 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
4600 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
4601 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
4602 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
4605 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
4606 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
4609 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
4610 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
4611 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
4612 are always statically linked for now, but there are
4613 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
4614 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
4617 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
4618 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
4622 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
4626 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
4627 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
4628 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
4629 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
4630 form signing output easier to verify.
4633 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
4636 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
4637 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
4638 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
4639 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
4640 are needed because all other string types have virtually
4641 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
4642 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
4643 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
4644 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
4645 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
4648 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
4650 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
4651 the syntax given in objects.README.
4652 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
4654 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
4657 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
4658 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
4659 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
4660 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
4661 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
4662 consistent name changes.
4665 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
4668 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
4669 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
4670 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
4671 environment variable, or the default random state file.
4674 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
4675 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
4676 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
4680 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
4681 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
4682 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
4683 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
4686 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
4687 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
4688 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
4689 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
4690 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
4691 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
4692 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
4693 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
4694 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
4695 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
4696 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
4699 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
4700 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
4701 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
4702 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
4703 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
4704 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
4705 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
4706 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
4707 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
4708 algorithm to openssl-dev.
4711 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
4712 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
4713 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
4714 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
4716 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
4717 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
4718 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
4719 omit any duplicate addresses.
4722 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
4723 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
4726 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
4727 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
4728 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
4729 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
4730 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
4733 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other

4736 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
4737 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
4738 Free => OPENSSL_free
4741 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
4742 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
4745 *) CygWin32 support.
4746 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
4748 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
4749 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
4750 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
4751 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
4752 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
4756 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
4757 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
4758 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
4759 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
4760 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
4761 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
4762 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
4765 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
4766 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
4767 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
4768 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
4769 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
4770 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
4771 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
4772 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
4773 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
4774 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
4775 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
4778 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
4779 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
4780 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
4781 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
4782 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
4784 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
4785 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
4786 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
4787 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
4788 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
4790 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
4793 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
4794 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
4795 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
4796 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
4798 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
4800 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
4803 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
4804 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
4805 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
4808 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
4809 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
4810 any installed hardware versions can.
4813 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
4814 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
4815 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
4819 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
4820 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
4821 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
4822 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
4823 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
4825 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
4826 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
4829 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
4830 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
4833 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
4834 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
4835 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
4839 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
4842 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
4843 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
4844 but no ssl client purpose.
4845 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
4847 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
4848 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
4849 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
4850 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
4851 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
4852 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
4853 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
4854 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
4855 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
4856 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
4857 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
4860 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
4861 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
4862 be obtained from the error queue.
4865 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
4866 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
4867 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
4868 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
4871 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
4874 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
4875 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
4876 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
4877 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
4878 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
4881 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
4882 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
4883 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
4884 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
4885 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
4888 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
4889 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
4890 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
4892 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
4894 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
4895 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
4896 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
4897 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
4898 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
4899 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
4900 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
4901 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
4902 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
4903 or "the configuration storage API"...
4905 The new configuration file reading functions are:
4907 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
4908 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
4910 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
4912 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
4914 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
4915 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
4916 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
4917 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
4918 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
4919 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
4920 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
4922 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
4923 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
4926 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
4927 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
4928 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
4929 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
4932 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
4933 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
4934 them in a portable way.
4935 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
4937 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
4939 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
4941 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
4942 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
4944 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
4945 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
4946 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
4949 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
4950 was larger than the MD block size.
4951 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
4953 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
4954 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
4955 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
4956 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
4960 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
4961 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
4962 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
4964 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
4966 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
4968 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
4969 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
4970 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
4971 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
4972 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
4973 Additional arguments are always ignored.
4975 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
4976 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
4978 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
4979 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
4982 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
4985 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
4986 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
4988 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
4989 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
4990 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
4991 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
4994 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
4995 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
4996 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
4997 does not suppress any output.
5000 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
5001 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
5002 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
5003 with all the associated security issues.
5005 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
5006 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
5007 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
5008 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
5009 use the value in the default purpose.
5012 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
5013 and fix a memory leak.
5016 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
5017 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
5018 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
5019 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
5022 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
5023 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
5024 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
5025 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
5028 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
5029 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
5030 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
5033 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
5034 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
5037 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
5038 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
5042 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
5043 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
5046 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
5047 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
5048 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
5051 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
5052 number generation fails.
5055 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
5058 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
5059 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
5061 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
5064 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
5065 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
5067 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
5068 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
5070 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
5072 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
5073 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
5076 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
5077 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
5079 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
5080 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
5083 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
5084 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
5085 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
5086 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
5087 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
5088 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
5090 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
5091 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
5092 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
5096 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
5097 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
5098 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
5099 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
5100 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
5101 counter, some don't.)
5102 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
5103 counters or duplicate objects.
5106 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
5107 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
5110 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
5111 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
5112 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
5114 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
5115 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
5116 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
5120 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
5121 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
5124 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
5125 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
5126 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
5130 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
5131 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
5132 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
5135 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
5136 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
5137 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
5138 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
5139 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
5140 should work without changes.
5143 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
5144 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
5145 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
5146 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
5147 must be defined. E.g.,
5148 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
5149 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
5150 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
5151 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
5153 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
5157 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
5158 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
5159 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
5162 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
5163 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
5164 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
5165 request header lines. Some software needs this.
5168 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
5169 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
5170 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
5171 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
5172 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
5173 is prompted for as usual.
5176 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
5177 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
5178 autodetect the card and use it if present.
5179 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
5181 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
5182 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
5183 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
5184 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
5187 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
5190 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
5194 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
5197 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
5200 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
5204 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
5207 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
5210 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
5211 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
5214 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
5215 options to produce them.
5218 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
5219 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
5222 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
5226 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
5227 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
5228 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
5229 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
5230 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
5231 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
5232 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
5235 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
5238 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
5239 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
5240 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
5243 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
5244 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
5246 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
5247 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
5250 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
5251 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
5252 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
5256 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
5257 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
5259 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
5260 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
5261 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
5262 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
5263 generation becomes much faster.
5265 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
5266 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
5267 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
5268 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
5269 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
5270 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
5271 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
5272 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
5273 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
5274 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
5277 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
5278 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
5279 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
5280 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
5281 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
5282 trial division stage.
5285 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
5289 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
5292 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
5295 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
5296 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
5297 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
5301 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
5302 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
5303 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
5306 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
5307 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
5308 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
5309 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5311 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
5312 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
5315 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
5318 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
5319 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
5320 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
5321 Rabin-Miller iterations.
5324 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
5325 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
5326 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
5329 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
5330 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
5331 (instead of parameters) in future.
5334 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
5335 when a new cipher list is set.
5338 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
5339 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
5342 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
5343 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
5344 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
5346 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
5347 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
5348 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
5349 an error is flagged.
5351 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
5352 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
5353 the readability was also increased :-)
5354 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5356 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
5357 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
5358 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
5359 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
5363 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
5364 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
5367 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
5368 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
5369 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
5370 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
5373 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
5374 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
5375 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
5376 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
5377 because they handle more complex structures.)
5380 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
5381 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
5382 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
5383 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
5385 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
5386 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
5387 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
5388 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
5389 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
5390 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
5391 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
5394 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
5395 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
5396 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
5397 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
5398 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
5401 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
5404 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
5405 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
5406 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
5407 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
5408 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
5411 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
5415 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
5416 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
5417 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
5418 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
5421 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
5424 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
5425 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
5426 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
5427 international characters are used.
5429 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
5430 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
5431 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
5435 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
5436 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
5437 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
5440 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
5441 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
5442 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
5443 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
5444 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
5445 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
5447 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
5448 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
5449 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
5450 be handled by the string table functions.
5452 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
5453 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
5454 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
5455 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
5456 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
5460 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
5461 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
5462 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
5463 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
5464 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
5466 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
5467 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
5468 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
5469 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
5472 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
5473 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
5474 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
5475 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
5476 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
5480 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
5481 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
5482 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
5483 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
5484 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
5485 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
5486 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
5487 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
5489 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
5490 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
5491 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
5494 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
5495 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
5496 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
5497 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
5498 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
5499 support to pkcs8 application.
5502 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
5503 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
5504 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
5505 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
5506 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
5507 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
5510 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
5511 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
5512 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
5513 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
5514 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
5518 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
5519 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
5520 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
5521 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
5525 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
5526 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
5527 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
5528 and any application specific purposes.
5530 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
5531 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
5532 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
5533 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
5534 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
5535 if the certificate is self signed.
5538 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
5539 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
5542 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
5543 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
5544 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
5545 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
5548 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
5549 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
5550 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
5551 Update documentation.
5554 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
5555 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
5556 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
5557 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
5558 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
5561 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
5563 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
5565 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
5566 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
5567 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
5568 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
5569 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
5570 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
5571 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
5572 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
5573 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
5574 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
5576 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
5578 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5579 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
5580 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
5581 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
5582 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
5584 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
5585 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
5586 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
5587 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
5588 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
5589 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
5590 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
5591 request additional information:
5592 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
5593 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
5595 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
5596 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
5597 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
5600 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
5601 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
5604 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
5607 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
5608 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
5610 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
5611 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
5612 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
5616 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
5617 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
5618 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
5620 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
5621 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
5622 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
5623 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
5624 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
5625 included in OpenSSL.
5628 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
5629 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
5630 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
5631 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
5632 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
5633 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
5636 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
5640 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
5641 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
5642 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
5643 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
5644 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
5648 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
5652 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
5653 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
5654 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
5655 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
5656 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
5657 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
5658 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
5659 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
5660 be maintained manually.
5662 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
5663 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
5664 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
5665 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
5666 work because people forget to call this function]
5667 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
5668 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
5669 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
5672 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
5673 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
5674 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
5675 should be discouraged from doing it.
5678 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
5679 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
5680 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
5681 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
5682 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
5683 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
5686 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
5687 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
5688 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
5690 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
5691 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
5692 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
5694 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
5695 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
5696 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
5697 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
5698 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
5699 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
5701 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
5702 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
5703 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
5705 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
5706 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
5709 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
5710 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
5711 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
5712 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
5715 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
5718 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
5719 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
5720 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
5721 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
5722 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
5723 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
5724 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
5725 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
5726 keys so we should be OK.
5728 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
5729 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
5730 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
5731 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
5732 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
5733 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
5734 stay in the name of compatibility.
5736 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
5737 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
5738 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
5740 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
5741 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
5742 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
5743 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
5744 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
5745 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
5749 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
5750 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
5751 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
5752 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
5753 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
5754 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
5755 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
5756 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
5757 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
5758 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
5759 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
5760 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
5761 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
5764 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
5767 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
5768 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
5769 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
5770 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
5771 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
5772 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
5773 single self signed certificate. This means that:
5774 openssl verify ss.pem
5775 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
5776 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
5780 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
5781 (and add it to external session representation).
5782 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
5783 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
5784 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
5785 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
5786 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
5787 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
5789 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
5791 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
5792 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
5793 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
5794 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
5796 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
5797 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
5798 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
5801 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
5802 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
5803 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
5807 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
5808 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
5809 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
5811 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
5812 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
5813 certificate auxiliary information.
5816 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
5820 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
5821 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
5822 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
5823 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
5824 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
5825 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
5826 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
5829 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
5830 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
5833 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
5834 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
5835 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
5836 manpages and fix a few bugs.
5839 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
5842 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
5843 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
5846 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
5847 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
5848 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
5849 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
5850 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
5851 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
5852 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
5853 using the new 'x509' options.
5855 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
5856 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
5857 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
5858 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
5862 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
5863 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
5864 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
5865 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
5866 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
5869 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
5870 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
5871 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
5872 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
5873 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
5874 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
5875 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
5876 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
5877 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
5878 the key length and effective key length are equal.
5881 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
5882 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
5883 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
5884 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
5885 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
5886 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
5887 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
5890 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
5891 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
5892 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
5893 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
5894 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
5895 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
5896 openssl.cnf for more info.
5899 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
5900 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
5901 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
5902 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
5903 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
5904 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
5905 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
5906 md should be large enough anyway.
5909 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
5910 for handling the random seed file.
5912 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
5914 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
5917 x509 (when signing).
5918 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
5919 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
5920 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
5922 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
5923 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
5924 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
5925 that support '-rand'.
5928 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
5929 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
5932 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
5933 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
5936 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
5937 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
5938 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
5939 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
5943 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
5944 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
5945 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
5946 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
5949 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
5950 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
5951 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
5952 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
5953 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
5954 print out all the purposes.
5957 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
5961 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
5962 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
5963 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
5964 single function call.
5967 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
5968 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
5971 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
5972 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
5973 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
5976 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
5977 when producing the local key id.
5978 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5980 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
5981 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
5982 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
5986 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
5987 a public key to be input or output. For example:
5988 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
5989 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
5992 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
5993 in the message. This was handled by allowing
5994 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
5995 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
5997 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
5998 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
5999 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
6000 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6002 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
6003 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
6004 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
6005 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
6006 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
6007 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
6008 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
6009 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
6010 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
6011 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
6012 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
6013 trivial: move one line.
6014 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
6016 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
6017 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
6018 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
6019 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
6020 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
6021 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
6022 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
6023 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
6024 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
6025 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
6026 with an event loop for example.
6029 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
6030 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
6031 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
6032 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
6033 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
6034 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
6035 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
6036 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
6037 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
6040 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
6041 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
6042 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
6043 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
6044 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
6045 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
6048 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
6049 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
6050 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
6051 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
6053 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
6054 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
6055 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
6056 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
6060 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
6061 (still largely untested)
6064 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
6065 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
6068 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
6069 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
6072 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
6073 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
6074 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
6077 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
6078 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
6079 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
6080 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
6081 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
6084 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
6087 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
6088 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
6089 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
6090 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
6091 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
6095 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
6096 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
6099 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
6102 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
6103 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
6104 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
6105 are otherwise ignored at present.
6108 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
6109 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
6110 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
6111 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
6112 copied until the next read.
6115 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
6116 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
6117 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
6120 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
6121 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
6122 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
6123 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
6124 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
6125 associated functions.
6128 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
6129 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
6130 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
6131 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
6132 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
6133 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
6134 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
6135 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
6136 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
6140 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
6141 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
6142 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
6143 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
6146 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
6147 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
6148 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
6149 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
6150 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
6154 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
6155 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
6159 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
6160 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
6161 extensions to be obtained and added.
6164 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
6165 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
6168 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
6170 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6171 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6173 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
6174 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
6176 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
6180 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
6181 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
6182 DH parameters contain its length).
6184 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
6185 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
6186 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
6187 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
6188 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
6189 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
6190 utter importance to use
6191 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6193 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
6194 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
6195 attacks may become possible!
6198 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
6201 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
6202 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
6205 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
6206 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
6207 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
6211 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
6212 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
6213 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
6214 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
6215 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
6216 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
6217 private key operations.
6220 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
6223 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
6224 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
6226 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
6227 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
6228 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
6229 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
6230 the password callback is called.
6231 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
6233 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
6235 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
6236 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
6237 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
6238 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
6239 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
6240 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
6243 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
6244 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
6245 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
6246 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
6247 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
6248 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
6251 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
6254 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
6255 delete an unused file.
6258 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
6259 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
6260 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
6261 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
6264 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
6265 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
6266 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
6270 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
6271 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
6272 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6274 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
6275 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
6276 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
6277 comparison" warnings.
6278 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
6281 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
6282 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
6283 derived keys are printed to stderr.
6286 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
6287 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
6289 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
6290 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
6292 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
6293 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
6294 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
6296 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
6297 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
6298 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
6299 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
6300 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
6302 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
6304 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
6305 The interface is as follows:
6306 Applications can use
6307 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
6308 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
6309 "off" is now the default.
6310 The library internally uses
6311 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
6312 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
6313 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
6315 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
6316 even the default) are now avoided.
6318 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
6319 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
6320 than just having a counter.
6322 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
6324 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
6328 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
6329 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
6330 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
6331 Initial "mode" flags are:
6333 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
6334 a single record has been written.
6335 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
6336 retries use the same buffer location.
6337 (But all of the contents must be
6341 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
6344 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
6345 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
6347 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
6348 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
6349 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
6352 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
6353 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
6355 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
6357 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
6358 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
6359 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
6360 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
6362 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
6363 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
6365 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
6366 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
6367 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
6368 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
6369 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
6370 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
6373 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
6374 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
6375 necessary function names.
6378 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
6379 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
6380 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
6381 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
6384 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
6385 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
6386 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
6389 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
6390 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
6391 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
6392 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
6394 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
6398 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
6399 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
6400 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
6403 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
6404 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
6408 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
6409 for the encoded length.
6410 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
6412 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
6415 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
6416 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
6417 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
6418 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
6421 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
6422 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
6423 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6425 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
6426 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
6427 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
6431 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
6432 to use the new extension code.
6435 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
6436 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
6437 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
6441 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
6442 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
6443 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
6447 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
6450 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
6451 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
6452 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
6455 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
6456 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
6457 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
6458 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
6461 *) DES library cleanups.
6464 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
6465 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
6466 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
6467 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
6468 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
6472 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
6473 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
6476 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
6477 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
6478 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
6479 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
6480 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
6481 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
6482 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
6483 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
6484 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
6487 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
6488 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
6489 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
6490 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
6491 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
6492 value doesn't matter.
6495 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
6499 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
6500 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
6501 "linux-sparc" configuration.
6502 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
6504 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
6507 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
6508 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
6509 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6511 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
6512 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
6514 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
6517 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
6520 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
6523 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
6527 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
6529 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
6531 *) Updated some demos.
6532 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
6534 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
6537 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
6540 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
6543 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
6544 instead of using a fixed path.
6547 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
6550 *) Improvements for VMS support.
6554 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
6556 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
6557 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
6558 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6560 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
6561 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
6562 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
6563 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
6564 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
6565 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
6566 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
6567 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
6568 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
6569 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
6572 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
6573 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
6576 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
6577 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
6578 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
6579 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
6580 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
6582 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
6585 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
6586 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
6587 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
6590 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
6593 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
6594 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
6595 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
6596 key elements as negative integers.
6599 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
6600 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6603 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
6605 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
6606 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
6607 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
6610 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
6611 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
6612 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
6613 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
6614 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
6617 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
6620 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
6621 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
6622 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
6623 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6625 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
6626 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
6627 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
6629 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
6630 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
6631 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
6632 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
6633 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
6634 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
6635 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
6636 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
6637 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
6639 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
6640 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
6641 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
6642 does not influence s as it used to.
6644 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
6645 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
6646 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
6647 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
6648 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
6649 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
6652 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
6653 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
6654 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
6658 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
6659 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
6660 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
6664 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
6665 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
6666 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
6670 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
6671 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
6674 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
6675 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6680 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
6681 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6683 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
6684 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6686 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
6689 *) Update HPUX configuration.
6692 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
6693 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6695 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
6696 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
6697 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
6701 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
6702 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
6703 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
6704 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
6705 now it really counts the depth.
6708 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
6709 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
6710 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
6711 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
6712 didn't match the private key).
6714 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
6715 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
6716 connection using the SSL_CTX).
6719 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
6722 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
6726 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
6727 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
6728 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
6731 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
6734 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
6735 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
6736 such as /usr/local/bin.
6739 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
6740 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6742 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
6745 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
6746 extension adding in x509 utility.
6749 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
6752 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
6756 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
6759 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
6760 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
6761 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
6762 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
6763 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
6764 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
6765 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
6766 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
6767 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
6768 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
6771 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
6774 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
6775 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
6778 *) Fix some race conditions.
6781 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
6782 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
6785 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
6788 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
6789 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
6790 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
6791 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
6793 *) Fix lots of warnings.
6794 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6796 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
6797 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
6798 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
6800 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
6801 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6803 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
6806 *) Fix typos in error codes.
6807 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
6809 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
6812 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
6813 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
6815 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
6816 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
6819 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
6820 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
6823 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
6824 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
6827 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
6828 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
6831 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
6832 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
6835 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
6836 support typesafe stack.
6839 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
6840 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
6842 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
6843 old X509V3 handling code.
6846 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
6849 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
6852 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
6855 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
6856 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
6858 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
6859 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
6860 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
6861 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
6862 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
6865 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
6866 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
6867 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
6868 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
6869 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
6871 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
6872 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
6873 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
6874 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6876 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
6877 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
6878 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
6879 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
6881 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
6882 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
6883 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
6884 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
6885 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
6886 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
6889 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
6890 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
6893 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
6894 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
6897 *) Tweaks to Configure
6898 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
6900 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
6904 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
6907 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
6908 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
6911 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
6912 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
6913 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
6916 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
6919 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
6920 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
6923 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
6924 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
6925 to library startup routines.
6928 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
6929 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
6930 codes along the way.
6933 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
6934 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
6935 objects to objects.h
6938 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
6939 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
6942 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
6943 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
6945 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
6946 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
6947 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
6949 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
6950 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
6951 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6953 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
6954 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
6955 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
6958 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
6960 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
6961 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
6964 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
6965 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
6966 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
6967 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
6968 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
6970 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
6971 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
6972 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
6974 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6976 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
6978 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
6980 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
6981 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
6983 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
6984 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
6985 if someone would make that last step automatic.
6986 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
6988 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
6991 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
6992 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
6993 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
6994 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
6997 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
6998 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
6999 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
7002 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
7003 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
7004 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
7005 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
7006 installed as `perl').
7007 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7009 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
7010 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7012 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
7013 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
7014 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
7015 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
7016 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
7019 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
7022 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
7023 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
7024 is horrible: I feel ill....
7027 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
7028 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
7029 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
7030 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
7033 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
7034 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7036 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
7037 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
7038 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
7039 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7041 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
7042 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
7043 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
7044 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
7045 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
7046 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
7048 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7050 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
7051 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7053 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
7054 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
7056 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
7059 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
7060 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
7064 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
7065 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
7066 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
7067 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
7068 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
7069 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
7070 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
7071 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
7072 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
7073 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
7074 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7076 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
7079 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
7080 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
7081 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
7082 for linking it into DSOs.
7083 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7085 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
7089 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
7090 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
7091 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
7092 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
7093 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
7094 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7096 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
7097 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
7098 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
7099 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
7100 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
7101 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
7102 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7104 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
7105 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
7106 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
7110 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
7111 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
7112 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
7113 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
7116 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
7117 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
7118 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
7119 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
7120 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
7124 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
7125 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
7126 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
7127 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
7128 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7130 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
7131 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
7132 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7134 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
7135 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
7137 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
7138 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
7139 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
7140 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
7141 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
7144 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
7145 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
7146 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
7147 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
7148 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
7149 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
7150 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
7153 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
7155 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
7156 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
7159 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
7160 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
7162 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
7163 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
7166 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
7167 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
7168 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
7169 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
7170 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
7172 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
7173 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
7174 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
7175 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
7176 no way to reconfigure them.
7177 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
7178 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
7179 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
7180 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
7181 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
7182 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7184 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
7185 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
7186 recognized by the users.
7187 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7189 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
7190 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
7191 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
7192 already masked variable.
7193 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7195 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
7196 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7198 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
7199 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
7200 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
7201 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7203 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
7204 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
7205 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7207 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
7208 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
7209 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
7210 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
7211 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
7212 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
7213 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
7214 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
7216 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7218 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
7219 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
7220 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7222 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
7223 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
7227 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
7228 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
7230 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
7231 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
7232 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
7233 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
7236 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
7239 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
7240 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7242 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
7245 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
7246 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
7249 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
7250 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
7253 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
7254 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
7255 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
7256 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
7257 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
7258 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
7259 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
7262 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
7263 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7265 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
7266 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
7267 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
7268 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
7269 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7271 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
7272 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
7273 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
7276 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
7277 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
7281 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
7282 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
7283 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7285 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
7286 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
7287 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
7291 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
7292 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
7293 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
7294 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
7297 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
7298 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
7299 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
7300 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
7303 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
7304 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
7305 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
7306 so it wasn't spotted.
7307 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
7309 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
7310 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
7311 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
7312 vectors if you have them.
7315 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
7316 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
7319 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
7320 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
7321 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
7322 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
7324 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
7325 it will update them.
7328 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
7329 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
7330 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
7331 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
7332 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
7333 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
7334 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
7335 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7337 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
7338 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
7339 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
7340 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
7341 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
7342 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
7343 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
7344 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
7345 the crypto/md/ stuff).
7346 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7348 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
7349 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
7350 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
7351 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
7352 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
7355 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
7359 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
7360 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7362 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
7363 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
7365 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
7366 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
7369 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
7370 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
7372 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
7373 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
7375 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
7378 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
7382 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
7383 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
7384 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
7385 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
7387 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7390 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
7393 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
7396 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
7397 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
7400 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
7401 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
7405 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
7406 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
7409 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
7410 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
7411 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
7414 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
7415 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
7416 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
7417 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
7418 properly to be processed.
7421 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
7422 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
7423 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
7426 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
7427 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
7429 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
7430 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
7431 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
7432 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
7433 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
7434 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
7435 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
7436 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
7437 or delete all the .err files.
7440 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
7441 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
7442 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
7443 to regenerate it if needed.
7444 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
7445 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
7447 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
7448 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7450 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
7451 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
7452 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
7453 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
7454 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
7457 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
7458 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7460 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
7461 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7463 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
7464 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
7465 error, but didn't set one).
7466 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7468 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
7471 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
7472 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
7475 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
7476 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
7478 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
7479 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
7480 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
7481 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
7482 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
7483 OID is not part of the table.
7486 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
7487 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
7490 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
7493 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
7494 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
7498 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
7499 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
7501 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
7503 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7505 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
7506 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7508 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
7509 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
7511 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
7512 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
7514 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
7515 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
7518 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
7519 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
7522 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
7523 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7525 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
7526 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7528 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
7529 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7531 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
7532 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7534 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
7535 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
7536 unused in the certificate verification process.
7537 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7539 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
7540 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
7543 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
7544 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
7545 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
7547 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
7548 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
7549 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
7550 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
7551 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
7553 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
7554 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
7557 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
7560 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
7563 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
7564 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
7566 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
7569 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
7572 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
7575 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
7576 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
7577 other error libraries.
7580 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
7583 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
7584 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
7588 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
7589 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
7590 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
7591 the new set of documenation files.
7592 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7594 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
7595 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
7596 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
7597 number of arguments.
7598 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
7600 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
7603 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
7604 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
7605 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
7607 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
7610 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
7614 unixware-2.0-pentium
7618 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
7619 before they are needed.
7622 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
7626 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
7628 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
7629 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
7630 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7632 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
7635 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
7636 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
7637 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7639 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
7640 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
7641 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
7643 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'

7684 [The OpenSSL Project]
7687 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
7689 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
7692 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
7695 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
7696 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
7699 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
7700 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
7704 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
7706 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
7708 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
7711 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
7714 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
7717 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
7720 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
7723 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
7726 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
7729 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
7732 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
7735 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
7738 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
7741 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
7744 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
7747 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
7750 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
7753 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
7756 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
7759 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
7760 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
7761 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
7764 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
7765 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
7768 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
7771 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
7774 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
7775 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
7778 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
7781 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
7784 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
