5 Changes between 0.9.8m (?) and 1.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
8 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
11 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
12 some responders need this.
15 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
17 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
19 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
20 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
21 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
24 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
27 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
28 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
29 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
30 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
31 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
32 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
33 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
34 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
37 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
38 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
39 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
40 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
42 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
43 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
45 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
49 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
50 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
51 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
52 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
53 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
54 attempting to work them out.
57 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
58 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
59 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
60 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
63 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
64 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
65 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
66 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
67 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
70 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
71 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
78 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
80 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
84 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
85 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
87 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
88 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
90 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
91 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
92 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
93 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
94 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
97 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
98 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
99 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
102 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
103 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
106 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
107 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
109 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
110 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
113 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
116 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
117 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
118 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
122 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
123 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
124 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
125 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
126 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
127 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
130 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
131 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
133 This work was sponsored by Google.
136 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
137 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
138 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
139 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
140 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
141 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
142 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
145 This work was sponsored by Google.
148 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
150 This work was sponsored by Google.
153 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
154 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
155 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
156 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
158 This work was sponsored by Google.
161 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
162 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
163 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
164 CRL functionality in future.
166 This work was sponsored by Google.
169 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
171 This work was sponsored by Google.
174 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
175 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
177 This work was sponsored by Google.
180 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
181 and URI types are currently supported.
183 This work was sponsored by Google.
186 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
187 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
188 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
189 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
190 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
191 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
192 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
193 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
195 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
196 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
197 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
199 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
200 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
201 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
202 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
204 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
205 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
206 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
207 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
208 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
209 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
210 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
211 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
213 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
215 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
216 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
217 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
219 This work was sponsored by Google.
222 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
225 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
226 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
227 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
230 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
231 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
234 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
235 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
238 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
239 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
240 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
241 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
242 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
243 content types and variants.
246 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
249 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
250 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
251 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
252 files from the associated perl scripts.
255 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
256 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
257 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
259 *) s390x assembler pack.
262 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
266 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
267 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
268 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
269 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
270 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
271 to use. For example, specify an option
273 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
275 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
276 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
277 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
278 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
279 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
280 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
282 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
283 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
284 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
285 return non-zero for success.
287 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
290 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
291 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
295 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
298 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
299 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
300 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
301 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
302 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
303 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
304 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
305 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
306 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
308 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
309 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
310 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
311 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
312 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
313 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
315 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
316 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
317 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
318 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
319 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
320 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
324 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
327 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
329 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
330 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
331 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
334 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
335 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
338 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
339 protection in servers so again support should be possible
340 with no application modification.
342 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
343 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
345 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
346 or server extensions to be examined.
348 This work was sponsored by Google.
351 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
352 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
353 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
355 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
356 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
358 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
360 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
361 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
362 to output in BER and PEM format.
365 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
366 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
367 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
368 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
369 -macopt options to dgst utility.
372 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
373 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
374 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
378 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
379 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
380 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
381 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
382 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
383 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
384 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
385 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
388 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
389 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
390 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
391 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
393 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
394 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
395 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
399 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
400 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
401 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
402 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
403 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
404 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
405 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
406 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
407 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
409 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
410 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
411 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
412 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
413 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
414 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
415 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
416 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
417 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
418 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
419 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
422 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
423 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
424 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
426 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
427 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
431 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
432 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
433 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
436 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
437 it yet and it is largely untested.
440 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
443 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
444 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
445 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
448 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
451 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
452 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
453 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
454 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
457 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
458 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
459 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
460 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
461 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
464 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
465 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
468 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
469 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
470 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
471 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
474 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
475 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
476 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
477 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
480 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
481 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
484 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
485 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
486 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
487 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
490 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
491 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
492 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
495 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
499 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
500 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
503 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
504 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
505 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
509 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
510 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
511 to free up any added signature OIDs.
514 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
515 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
516 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
517 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
520 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
521 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
522 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
523 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
524 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
525 the array representation useful in a more general context.
528 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
529 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
530 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
531 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
532 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
534 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
535 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
536 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
537 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
538 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
541 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
542 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
543 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
544 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
546 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
547 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
548 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
549 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
550 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
556 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
557 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
561 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
562 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
565 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
566 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
569 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
570 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
571 functional reference processing.
574 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
575 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
579 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
580 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
581 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
584 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
585 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
586 application to support multiple signers.
589 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
593 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
594 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
595 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
596 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
597 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
600 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
604 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
605 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
606 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
607 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
611 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
612 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
613 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
614 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
615 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
616 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
617 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
618 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
621 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
622 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
623 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
624 between digests and public key types.
627 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
628 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
629 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
630 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
633 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
634 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
638 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
641 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
645 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
646 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
647 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
648 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
653 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
655 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
657 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
659 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
660 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
661 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
662 functionality for RSA.
665 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
666 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
667 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
670 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
671 key API, doesn't do much yet.
674 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
675 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
676 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
679 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
680 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
683 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
684 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
687 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
688 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
692 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
693 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
694 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
698 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
699 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
700 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
701 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
702 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
703 of public and private key structures.
706 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
707 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
710 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
711 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
712 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
715 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
719 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
720 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
722 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
724 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
726 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
727 and response verification functionality.
728 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
730 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
731 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
732 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
733 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
734 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
735 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
736 server_name extension.
738 New functions (subject to change):
741 SSL_get_servername_type()
744 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
746 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
747 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
748 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
749 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
750 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
752 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
754 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
755 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
756 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
757 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
758 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
759 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
762 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
764 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
767 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
768 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
769 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
770 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
771 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
774 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
775 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
779 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
780 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
781 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
782 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
785 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
786 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
787 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
788 using the maximum available value.
791 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
792 in addition to the text details.
795 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
796 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
797 handle several customised structures at all.
800 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
801 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
802 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
805 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
808 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
809 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
810 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
813 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
814 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
815 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
818 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
819 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
823 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
826 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
829 Changes between 0.9.8l (?) and 0.9.8m (?) [xx XXX xxxx]
831 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
832 a no_renegotiation alert as required by draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation.
833 Some renegotiating TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully
834 when they receive the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled
835 this alert and would hang waiting for a server hello which it will never
836 receive. Now we treat a received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal
837 error. This is because applications requesting a renegotiation might well
838 expect it to succeed and would have no code in place to handle the server
839 denying it so the only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
842 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
843 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
844 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
847 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
848 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
851 *) Implement draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation. Re-enable
852 renegotiation but require the extension as needed. Unfortunately,
853 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION turns out to be a
854 bad idea. It has been replaced by
855 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
856 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
857 know what you are doing.
858 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
860 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
861 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
862 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
863 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
864 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
865 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
869 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
870 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
871 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
873 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
875 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
876 warnings in other configurations.
879 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
880 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
881 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
883 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
885 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
886 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
887 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
889 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
890 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
891 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
892 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
895 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
899 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
900 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
902 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
904 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
905 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
906 other than a simple chain.
907 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
909 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
910 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
911 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
912 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
915 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
916 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
917 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
918 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
919 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
920 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
921 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
922 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
923 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
925 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
926 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
927 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
928 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
929 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
930 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
932 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
934 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
935 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
938 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
939 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
942 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
944 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
946 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
947 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
948 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
949 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
950 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
954 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
956 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
957 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
958 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
959 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
961 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
962 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
963 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
964 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
966 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
967 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
968 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
971 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
972 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
976 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
977 to handle some structures.
980 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
982 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
984 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
987 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
990 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
993 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
994 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
998 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1000 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1002 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1004 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1007 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1008 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1009 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1010 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1012 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1013 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1015 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1016 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1019 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1020 s_client and s_server.
1023 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1024 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1026 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1027 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1029 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1030 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1031 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1032 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1033 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1036 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1038 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1039 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1042 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1043 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1046 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1047 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1048 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1049 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1051 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1052 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1054 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1056 *) Various precautionary measures:
1058 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1060 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1061 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1062 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1064 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1065 outside the expected range.
1067 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1070 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1072 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1073 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1074 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1076 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1079 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1082 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1084 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1087 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1088 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1089 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1091 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1094 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1095 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1096 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1100 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1102 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1103 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1104 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1105 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1107 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1108 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1111 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1113 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1114 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1115 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1117 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1119 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1120 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1121 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1122 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1125 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1126 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1127 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1128 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1129 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1130 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1131 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1133 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1135 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1136 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1137 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1138 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1139 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1141 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1142 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1144 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1145 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1146 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1147 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1148 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1150 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1152 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1153 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1154 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1155 sets may exist with different names.
1158 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1159 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1160 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1161 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1162 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1163 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1164 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1165 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1166 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1168 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1170 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1171 implemention in the following ways:
1173 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1176 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1177 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1178 ignored for embedded content.
1180 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1181 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1184 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1185 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1186 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1187 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1189 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1190 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1193 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1194 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1197 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1198 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1199 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1200 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1201 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1202 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1206 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1207 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1208 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1212 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1213 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1214 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1215 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1216 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1217 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
1218 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
1219 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
1221 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
1222 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
1223 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1224 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1225 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1226 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1227 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1229 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1230 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1231 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1232 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1233 to s_client and s_server.
1236 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1238 *) Fix various bugs:
1239 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1240 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1241 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1242 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1243 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1245 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1247 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1248 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1249 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1250 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1251 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1252 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1253 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1254 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1257 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1258 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1259 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1262 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1263 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1264 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1267 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1268 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1271 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1272 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1273 with no application modification.
1275 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1276 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1278 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1279 or server extensions to be examined.
1281 This work was sponsored by Google.
1284 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1285 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1286 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1287 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1288 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1289 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1290 server_name extension.
1292 New functions (subject to change):
1294 SSL_get_servername()
1295 SSL_get_servername_type()
1298 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1300 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1301 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1302 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1303 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1304 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1306 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1308 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1309 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1310 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1311 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1312 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1313 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1316 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1318 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1321 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1324 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1325 (which previously caused an internal error).
1328 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1331 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1332 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1334 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1335 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1336 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1338 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1339 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1340 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1341 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1343 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1344 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1345 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1346 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1348 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1349 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1350 information. For detailed background information, see
1351 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1352 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1353 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1354 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1355 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1356 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1357 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1358 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1359 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1360 remove a conditional branch.
1362 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1363 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1364 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1365 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1366 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1367 remains as a deprecated alias.
1369 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1370 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1371 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1372 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1374 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1375 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1376 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1377 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1378 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1379 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1380 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1381 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1383 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1385 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1386 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1387 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1388 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1389 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1390 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1391 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1392 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1393 in a different context.
1396 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1397 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1398 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1401 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1402 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1403 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1405 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1407 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1408 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1409 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1410 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1411 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1414 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1415 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1416 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1417 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1418 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1419 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1422 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1423 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1424 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1425 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1426 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1429 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1430 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1432 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1433 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1434 Improve header file function name parsing.
1437 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1438 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1441 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1443 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1444 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1445 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1447 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1448 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1450 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1451 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1453 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1454 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1455 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1457 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1458 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1459 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1460 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1461 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1462 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1463 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1464 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1465 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1467 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1468 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1469 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1470 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1471 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1473 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1474 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1475 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1476 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1477 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1478 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1479 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1480 multiple values to extend the available space.
1484 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1486 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1487 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1489 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1492 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1493 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1494 undesirable limitations.
1495 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1497 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1498 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1499 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1500 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1501 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1502 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1503 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1506 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1508 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1509 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1510 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1512 The latter two were purportedly from
1513 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1516 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1517 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1518 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1521 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1522 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1525 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1526 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1527 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1528 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1530 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1531 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1532 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1535 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1536 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1537 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1538 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1539 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1540 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1543 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1545 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1546 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1549 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1550 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1552 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1553 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1554 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1555 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1558 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1559 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1562 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1563 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1564 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1565 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1566 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1567 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1568 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1572 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1573 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1574 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1575 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1578 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1579 under VC++ build system.
1582 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1583 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1586 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1588 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1589 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1590 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1591 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1592 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1594 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1595 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1596 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1598 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1601 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1602 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1605 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1606 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1608 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1611 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1612 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1614 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1615 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1618 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1619 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1623 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1625 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1628 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1631 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1632 key into the same file any more.
1635 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1638 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1639 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1641 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1642 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1645 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1646 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1647 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1648 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1649 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1650 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1652 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1653 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1654 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1657 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1658 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1659 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1660 - add new function for parameter creation
1661 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1662 BN_BLINDING parameters
1663 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1664 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1665 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1669 *) Add support for DTLS.
1670 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1672 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1673 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1676 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1677 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1680 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1681 the apps/openssl applications.
1684 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1685 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1686 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1689 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1690 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1692 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1693 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1695 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1696 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1697 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1698 avoid this algorithm.)
1702 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1703 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1704 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1707 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1708 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1711 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1712 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1713 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1716 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1718 The blank line is mandatory.
1722 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1723 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1727 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1728 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1730 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1731 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1732 to support policy checking and print out.
1735 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1736 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1737 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1738 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1740 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1743 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1744 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1746 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1747 implementation contributed by IBM.
1748 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1750 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1751 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1752 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1753 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1755 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1756 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1758 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1759 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1760 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1761 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1762 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1763 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1766 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1767 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1768 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1769 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1770 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1771 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1772 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1775 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1778 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1779 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1780 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1781 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1782 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1783 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1784 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1785 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1788 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1789 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1790 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1791 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1794 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1797 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1800 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1801 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1802 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1803 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1804 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1805 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1806 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1809 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1810 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1813 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1814 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1815 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1818 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1819 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1820 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1824 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1825 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1828 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1829 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1830 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1831 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1834 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1835 initialised value as BN_new().
1836 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1838 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1841 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1842 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1843 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1844 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1845 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1846 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1847 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1848 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1849 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1850 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1851 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1852 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1853 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1854 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1855 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1857 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1858 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1859 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1860 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1863 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1864 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1865 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1866 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1867 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1868 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1869 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1870 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1871 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1874 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1875 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1876 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1877 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1878 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1879 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1880 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1883 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1884 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1885 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1886 these have been updated also.
1889 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1890 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1891 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1892 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1893 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1897 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1898 structure of type "other".
1901 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1902 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1903 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1904 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1905 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1906 situation in the script.
1907 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1909 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1910 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1911 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1912 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1913 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1914 used as premaster secret.
1915 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1917 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1918 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1919 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1921 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1922 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1924 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1925 control of the error stack.
1928 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1931 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1932 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1933 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1934 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1937 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1938 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1939 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1942 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1943 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1944 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
1948 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
1949 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
1950 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
1951 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
1954 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
1955 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
1956 the following flags are defined:
1958 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
1959 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1960 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
1963 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
1964 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
1965 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
1966 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
1970 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
1971 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
1972 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
1973 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
1974 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
1977 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
1978 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
1979 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
1982 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
1983 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
1984 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
1985 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
1986 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
1987 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
1990 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
1994 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
1997 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2000 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2003 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2004 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2005 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2006 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2007 default implementation more easily.
2010 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2014 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2015 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2018 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2019 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2020 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2021 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2023 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2024 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2025 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2026 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2029 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2030 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2034 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2035 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2036 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2037 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2038 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2039 scalar * generator).
2040 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2042 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2043 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2044 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2048 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2049 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2050 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2051 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2052 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2053 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2054 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2055 linker additions, eg;
2056 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2059 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2060 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2061 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2064 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2065 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2066 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2070 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2071 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2072 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2073 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2076 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2077 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2078 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2079 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2080 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2081 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2082 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2083 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2084 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2085 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2087 Example for using the new callback interface:
2089 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2093 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2095 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2096 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2097 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2098 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2099 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2100 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2105 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2106 available to TLS with the number defined in
2107 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2110 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2111 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2113 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2114 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2115 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2116 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2118 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2119 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2121 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2122 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2126 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2127 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2130 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2131 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2132 and a macro that behave like
2133 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2135 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2138 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2139 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2140 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2142 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2144 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2147 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2148 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2149 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2150 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2152 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2153 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2154 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2155 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2156 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2157 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2158 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2159 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2161 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2162 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2165 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2166 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2168 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2169 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2170 files while avoiding the low level API.
2172 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2173 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2174 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2175 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2177 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2178 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2179 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2180 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2181 instead of the low level API.
2184 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2185 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2186 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2187 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2188 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2191 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2192 down to the template encoder.
2195 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2196 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2199 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2200 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2201 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2202 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2204 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2205 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2207 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2208 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2210 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2211 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2214 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2215 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2216 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2219 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2220 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2222 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2223 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2225 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2226 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2229 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2233 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2234 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2235 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2236 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2237 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2238 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2240 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2241 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2244 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2245 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2246 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2247 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2248 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2249 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2250 various internal method names.)
2252 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2253 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2255 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2256 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2258 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2259 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2261 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2262 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2263 methods are undefined.
2265 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2266 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2268 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2269 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2270 length of the modulus.
2272 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2273 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2275 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2276 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2278 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2279 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2281 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2282 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2283 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2286 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2287 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2288 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2289 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2291 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2292 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2293 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2294 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2296 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2297 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2299 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2300 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2301 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2302 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2303 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2305 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2306 This applies to the following functions:
2311 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2312 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2314 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2315 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2319 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2324 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2326 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2327 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2328 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2329 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2330 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2332 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2333 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2335 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2336 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2337 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2339 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2340 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2342 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2343 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2344 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2345 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2346 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2348 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2350 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2351 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2352 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2353 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2354 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2355 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2356 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2357 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2358 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2359 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2360 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2361 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2363 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2366 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2367 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2368 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2369 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2371 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2372 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2373 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2374 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2379 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2380 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2381 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2382 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2383 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2385 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2386 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2387 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2388 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2389 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2390 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2391 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2392 adding different types of curves.
2393 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2395 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2396 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2397 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2400 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2401 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2403 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2404 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2405 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2406 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2408 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2410 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2411 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2413 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2414 library. Most notably,
2415 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2416 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2417 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2418 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2419 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2420 extracted before the specific public key;
2421 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2422 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2424 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2425 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2427 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2428 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2429 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2430 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be

2434 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2436 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2437 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2438 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2439 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2440 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2441 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with

2447 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2449 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2451 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2452 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2453 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2456 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2457 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2458 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2461 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2464 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2465 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2468 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2469 run algorithm test programs.
2472 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2475 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2476 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2477 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2478 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2479 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2482 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2483 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2486 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2488 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2489 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2490 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2492 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2493 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2495 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2496 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2498 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2499 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2500 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2502 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2503 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2504 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2505 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2506 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2507 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2508 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2511 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2513 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2514 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2516 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2517 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2518 undesirable limitations.
2519 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2521 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2523 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2524 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2525 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2527 The latter two were purportedly from
2528 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2531 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2532 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2533 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2536 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2537 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2540 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2542 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2543 module in FIPS mode.
2546 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2549 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2550 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2551 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2552 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2555 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2557 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2558 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2559 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2560 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2561 the difference induced by this change.
2564 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2566 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2567 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2568 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2569 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2570 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2572 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2573 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2574 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2576 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2577 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2580 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2581 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2582 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2583 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2587 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2588 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2589 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2590 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2591 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2593 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2594 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2595 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2596 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2597 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2598 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2600 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2602 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2603 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2604 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2605 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2606 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2609 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2613 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2614 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2615 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2618 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2619 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2620 structures constant.
2623 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2625 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2628 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2629 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2630 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2631 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2632 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2633 some needed definitions.
2636 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2639 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2640 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2641 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2642 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2645 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2647 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2648 server and client random values. Previously
2649 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2650 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2652 This change has negligible security impact because:
2654 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2657 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2660 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2661 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2664 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2667 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2669 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2672 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2673 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2674 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2676 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2679 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2680 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2683 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2684 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2685 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2687 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2690 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2691 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2692 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2696 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2697 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2698 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2699 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2701 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2702 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2703 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2704 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2708 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2710 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2711 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2712 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2713 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2714 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2717 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2720 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2721 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2723 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2724 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2725 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2726 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2727 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2728 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2729 rather than being initialized to 1.
2732 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2734 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2735 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2736 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2738 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2740 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2742 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2743 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2744 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2745 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2746 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2747 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2750 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2751 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2752 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2753 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2754 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2758 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2759 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2760 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2761 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2762 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2765 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2766 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2767 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2771 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2772 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2774 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2777 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2779 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2781 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2782 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2784 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2786 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2787 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2791 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2792 exiting on the first error in a request.
2795 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2796 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2800 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2801 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2802 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2803 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2805 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2806 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2809 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2810 blocks during encryption.
2813 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2814 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2815 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2816 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2820 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2821 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2822 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2823 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2824 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2828 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2830 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2831 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2832 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2833 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2836 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2837 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2838 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2839 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2840 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2842 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2843 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2844 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2845 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2846 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2847 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2848 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2849 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2850 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2853 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2854 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2855 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2856 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2859 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2860 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2863 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2865 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2866 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2867 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2868 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2869 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2871 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2872 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2873 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2875 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2876 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2877 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2878 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2879 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2881 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2882 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2883 used by default when no-err is given.
2886 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2887 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2889 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2890 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2891 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2892 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2893 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2895 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2896 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2897 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2898 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2900 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2902 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2904 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2906 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2907 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2908 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2909 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2913 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2914 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2916 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2917 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2920 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2921 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2922 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2923 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2926 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2927 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2928 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2929 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2930 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2931 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2932 followup to PR #377.
2935 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2936 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2939 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2940 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2941 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

2963 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
2964 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
2965 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
2966 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
2967 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
2968 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
2970 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
2971 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
2972 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
2973 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
2974 have to be made anyway).
2977 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
2978 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
2979 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
2982 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
2983 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
2984 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
2987 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
2988 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
2989 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]

3000 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
3001 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]

3004 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.

3017 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3019 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
3021 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3023 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
3024 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
3025 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3027 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
3028 representations in a platform independent manner.
3029 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3031 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3032 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3033 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3035 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
3037 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3039 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
3040 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3042 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
3044 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3046 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
3047 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
3048 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3050 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
3052 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3054 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
3055 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3057 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
3058 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3060 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
3061 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3063 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
3064 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3066 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
3068 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3070 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
3071 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3073 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
3074 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3076 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
3077 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
3079 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3081 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
3082 the 0.9.6 release series:
3084 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3085 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
3087 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3089 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
3092 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3093 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
3095 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3096 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3098 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3099 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3100 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3101 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3103 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3104 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3105 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3107 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3108 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3109 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3110 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3112 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3113 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3114 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3117 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3118 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3119 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3120 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3121 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3122 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3123 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3124 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3127 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3128 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3129 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3132 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3133 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3134 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3135 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3136 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3138 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3139 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3141 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3142 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3145 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3146 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3147 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3148 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3149 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3150 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3153 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3154 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3155 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3158 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3159 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3162 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3163 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3164 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3165 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3166 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3167 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3168 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3171 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3172 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3173 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3174 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3175 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3176 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3179 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3180 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3181 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3182 declaration has been changed from
3185 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3186 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3187 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3188 has been changed into
3189 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3191 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3192 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3193 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3195 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3196 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3198 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3199 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3200 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3201 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3202 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3203 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3204 always load it have also been added.
3207 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3208 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3209 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3211 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3213 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3214 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3215 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3217 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3218 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3219 command line option can be used to specify an
3223 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3224 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3227 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3228 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3229 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3232 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3233 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3234 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3235 to work with the new engine framework.
3236 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3238 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3239 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3240 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3241 to work with the new engine framework.
3244 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3245 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3246 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3248 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3249 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3251 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3252 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3253 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3254 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3256 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3258 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3259 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3261 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3262 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3264 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3265 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3266 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3269 *) Add new functions
3271 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3272 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3273 These are similar to
3276 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3277 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3278 still in the error queue.
3279 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3281 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3283 default_algorithms = ALL
3284 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3287 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3290 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3293 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3294 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3295 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3296 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3298 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3299 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3301 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3302 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3304 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3305 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3308 *) New functions/macros
3310 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3311 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3312 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3313 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3315 to request calling a callback function
3317 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3318 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3320 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3321 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3322 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3323 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3324 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3325 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3326 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3327 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3328 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3329 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3331 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3332 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3335 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3336 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3337 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3338 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3339 the configuration scripts.
3341 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3342 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3343 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3345 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3346 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3348 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3349 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3350 when reusing an existing buffer.
3353 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3354 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3357 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3358 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3361 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3362 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3363 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3364 has the same effect.
3365 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3367 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3368 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3369 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3370 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3371 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3372 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3375 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3376 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3377 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3378 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3380 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3381 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3382 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3383 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3385 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3386 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3389 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3390 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3391 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3392 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3393 default), and then completely removed.
3396 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3397 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3398 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3399 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3400 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3401 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3402 particular extension is supported.
3405 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3406 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3409 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3410 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3411 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3412 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3413 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3414 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3415 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3416 requires the destination to be valid.
3418 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3419 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3422 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3423 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3424 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3427 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3428 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3430 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3431 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3432 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3433 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3434 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3435 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3436 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3437 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3438 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3439 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3440 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3441 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3442 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3443 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3444 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3445 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3446 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3447 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3448 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3452 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3455 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3456 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3457 become part of libeay.num as well.
3460 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3461 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3462 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3463 false once a handshake has been completed.
3464 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3465 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3466 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3467 client has followed the request.)
3470 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3471 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3472 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3473 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3475 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3476 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3477 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3480 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3483 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3484 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3485 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3488 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3489 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3492 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3493 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3494 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3495 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3498 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3499 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3500 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3501 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3502 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3503 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3506 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3507 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3508 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3509 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3510 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3511 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3512 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3513 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3516 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3517 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3520 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3523 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3524 md_data void pointer.
3527 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3528 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3529 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3530 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3531 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3532 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3535 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3536 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3537 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3538 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3539 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3540 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3541 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3542 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3543 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3544 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3545 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3546 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3547 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3548 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3549 rather than letting it slide.
3551 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3552 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3553 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3556 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3557 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3558 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3559 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3560 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3561 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3562 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3563 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3564 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3567 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3568 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3569 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3570 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3571 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3573 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3576 *) Add EVP test program.
3579 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3582 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3583 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3584 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3585 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3586 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3589 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3590 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3591 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3592 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3593 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3594 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3595 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3597 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3598 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3599 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3604 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3605 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3606 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3607 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3608 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3612 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3613 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3614 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3615 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3618 des_key_schedule ks;
3620 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3621 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3623 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3626 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3627 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3628 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3629 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3630 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3631 functions prevents this.
3634 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3637 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3638 correct _ecb suffix.
3641 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3642 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3643 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3644 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3645 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3648 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3651 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3652 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3653 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3654 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3656 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3657 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3659 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3660 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3661 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3662 via Richard Levitte]
3664 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3665 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3666 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3667 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3670 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3673 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3674 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3688 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3689 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3691 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3692 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3693 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3694 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3695 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3696 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3699 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3700 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3703 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3704 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3705 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3706 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3708 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3709 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3710 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3711 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3712 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3713 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3717 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3718 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3719 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3720 and interrupts/cancellations.
3723 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3724 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3727 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3728 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3729 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3731 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3732 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3736 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3737 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3738 than this minimum value is recommended.
3741 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3742 that are easily reachable.
3745 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3746 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3748 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3750 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3751 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3752 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3753 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3756 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3757 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3758 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3761 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3762 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3763 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3764 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3765 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3766 internally such as S/MIME.
3768 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3769 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3770 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3772 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3776 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3777 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3778 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3779 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3781 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3783 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3785 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3786 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3787 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3791 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3792 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3793 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3794 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3795 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3796 a window system and the like.
3799 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3800 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3803 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3804 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3805 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3806 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3807 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3808 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3809 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3810 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3811 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3815 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3816 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3820 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3821 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3822 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3823 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3824 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3825 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3826 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3827 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3830 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3831 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3832 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3833 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3834 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3835 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3836 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3837 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3838 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3839 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3840 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3841 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3842 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3843 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3844 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3845 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3846 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3849 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3850 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3851 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3852 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3853 internal engine_int.h header.
3856 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3857 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3858 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3859 modify their own ones).
3862 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3863 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3864 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3865 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3866 later on via ctrl() commands.
3867 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3868 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3869 structural references.
3870 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3871 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3872 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3873 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3874 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3875 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3876 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3877 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3878 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3879 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3880 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3881 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3884 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3885 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3886 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3887 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3888 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3889 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3890 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3891 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3894 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3895 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3898 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3899 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3902 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3903 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3904 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3905 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3906 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3907 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3908 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3911 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3912 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3913 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3914 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3915 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3917 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3918 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3922 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3924 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3925 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3926 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3928 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3929 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3931 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3932 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3933 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3935 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3936 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3938 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3939 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3941 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3943 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3944 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3945 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
3948 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
3949 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
3952 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
3953 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
3954 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
3955 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
3956 is 40 of more characters long.
3959 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
3960 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
3964 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
3965 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
3968 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
3969 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
3973 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
3975 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
3976 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
3979 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
3981 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
3982 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
3983 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
3985 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
3986 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
3988 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
3991 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
3995 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
3996 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
3997 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
3998 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4000 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4002 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4003 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4005 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4006 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4007 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4008 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4009 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4010 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4012 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4013 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4015 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4016 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4018 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4019 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4021 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4022 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4023 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4024 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4026 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4027 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4029 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4030 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4032 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4033 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4034 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4035 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4036 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4039 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4040 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4041 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4042 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4045 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4046 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4047 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4051 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4052 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4053 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4054 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4055 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4056 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4057 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4058 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4062 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4063 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4066 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4067 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4068 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4069 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4072 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4073 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4074 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4075 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4076 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4077 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4078 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4079 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4080 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4081 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4084 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4085 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4086 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4087 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4088 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4089 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4090 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4091 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4093 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4094 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4095 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4096 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4099 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4100 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4101 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4102 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4104 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4105 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4106 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4107 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4108 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4112 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4113 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4114 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4115 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4119 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4120 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4121 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4124 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4125 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4126 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4127 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4128 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4131 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4134 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4135 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4136 option to ocsp utility.
4139 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4140 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4141 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4142 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4143 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4144 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4145 the request is nonce-less.
4148 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4149 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4150 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4153 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4154 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4155 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4158 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4159 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4160 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4161 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4162 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4165 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4166 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4170 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4171 additional certificates supplied.
4174 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4175 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4179 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4180 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4183 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4184 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4185 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4186 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4187 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4188 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4189 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4190 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4191 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4193 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4194 request to response.
4197 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4198 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4199 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4200 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4201 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4202 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4203 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4204 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4205 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4206 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4207 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4210 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4211 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4212 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4213 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4216 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4217 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4219 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4220 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4221 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4224 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4225 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4226 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4227 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4228 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4230 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4231 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4232 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4235 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4236 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4237 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4238 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4239 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4240 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4241 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4242 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4244 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4245 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4246 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4247 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4248 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4249 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4252 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4253 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4254 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4255 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4256 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4257 printout format cleaned up.
4260 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4261 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4262 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4263 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4264 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4265 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4266 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4267 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4270 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4271 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4272 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4273 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4274 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4275 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4276 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4277 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4280 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4281 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4282 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4283 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4285 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4287 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4288 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4289 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4290 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4293 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4294 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4295 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4296 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4298 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4300 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4301 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4302 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4303 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4305 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4306 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4308 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4309 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4310 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4313 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4314 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4315 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4318 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4319 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4320 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4321 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4322 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4323 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4324 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4325 functions are provided:
4327 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4328 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4329 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4330 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4332 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4333 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4334 extended allocation function is enabled.
4335 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4336 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4337 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4339 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4340 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4341 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4342 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4343 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4346 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4347 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4348 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4350 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4351 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4352 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4355 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4356 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4357 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4358 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4359 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4360 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4361 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4362 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4363 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4366 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4367 provide utility functions which an application needing
4368 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4369 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4370 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4372 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4373 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4374 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4375 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4376 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4377 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4378 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4379 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4380 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4382 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4383 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4384 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4385 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4388 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4389 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4390 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4391 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4392 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4393 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4394 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4395 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4396 will be added elsewhere.
4399 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4400 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4401 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4402 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4405 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4406 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4407 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4408 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4409 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4410 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4411 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4412 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4413 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4414 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4415 to produce the required SET OF.
4418 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4419 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4420 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4423 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4424 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4425 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4426 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4427 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4428 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4431 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4432 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4433 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4436 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4437 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4438 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4441 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4442 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4443 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4444 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4445 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4448 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4449 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4452 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4453 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4454 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4455 certifcates and CRLs.
4458 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4459 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4460 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4463 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4464 entries for variables.
4467 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4468 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4469 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4470 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4473 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4474 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4475 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4476 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4477 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4478 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4481 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4482 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4484 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4485 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4486 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4489 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4493 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4494 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4495 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4496 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4497 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4498 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4501 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4504 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4505 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4506 for now but they will eventually go away.
4509 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4510 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4511 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4512 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4513 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4514 has also been converted to the new form.
4517 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4518 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4519 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4520 for negative moduli.
4523 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4524 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4527 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4531 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4532 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4533 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4534 type-specific callbacks.
4537 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4539 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4540 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4542 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4543 in sections depending on the subject.
4546 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4550 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4551 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4552 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4553 be handled deterministically).
4554 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4556 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4557 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4558 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4561 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4564 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4565 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4566 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4567 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4568 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4571 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4572 sign of the number in question.
4574 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4576 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4577 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4578 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4579 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4580 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4583 *) New function BN_swap.
4586 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4587 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4588 results on negative inputs.
4591 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4592 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4593 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4596 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4597 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4598 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4599 and add new functions:
4608 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4612 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4614 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4615 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4617 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4618 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4619 be reduced modulo m.
4620 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4623 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4624 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4625 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4627 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4628 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4629 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4630 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4631 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4632 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4637 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4638 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4639 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4640 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4641 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4643 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4644 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4645 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4649 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4652 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4653 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4656 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4657 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4658 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4659 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4663 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4666 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4669 *) Add the following functions:
4671 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4673 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4675 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4677 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4678 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4679 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4680 libraries unless it's really needed.
4682 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4683 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4684 declarations (they differed!).
4687 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4690 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4693 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4696 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4697 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4700 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4701 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4702 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4704 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4705 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4708 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4711 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4714 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4717 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4718 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4719 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4721 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4722 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4723 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4724 different shared library filenames on each system.
4727 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4730 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4731 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4732 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4734 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4737 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4738 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4739 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4740 binary backward compatibility.
4741 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4742 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4743 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4747 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4748 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4749 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4750 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4754 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4757 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4758 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4759 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4760 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4764 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4767 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4769 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4770 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4771 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4773 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4775 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4777 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4778 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4781 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4783 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4785 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4786 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4788 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4789 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4793 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4794 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4798 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4799 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4800 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4801 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4803 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4804 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4807 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4809 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4810 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4811 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4812 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4815 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4816 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4817 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4818 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4819 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4821 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4822 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4823 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4824 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4825 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4826 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4827 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4828 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4829 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4832 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4834 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4835 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4836 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4837 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4838 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4840 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4841 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4842 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4844 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4846 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4847 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4848 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4849 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4850 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4851 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4854 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4855 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4856 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4857 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4858 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4861 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4862 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4863 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4865 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4866 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4867 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4871 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4872 being properly terminated.
4875 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4876 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4877 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4878 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4880 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4881 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4882 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4883 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4884 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4885 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4886 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4888 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4890 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4891 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4894 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4895 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4896 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4897 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4898 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4899 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4900 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4901 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4903 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4904 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4905 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4906 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4907 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4909 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4910 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4913 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4915 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4916 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4917 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4919 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4921 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4922 and get fix the header length calculation.
4923 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4924 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4927 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4928 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4929 assertions could call abort()).
4930 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4932 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4934 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4935 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4936 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4938 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4940 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4941 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4942 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4945 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
4949 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
4950 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
4951 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
4953 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
4954 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
4955 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
4956 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
4957 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
4961 *) Changes in security patch:
4963 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
4964 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
4965 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
4968 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4969 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4970 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4971 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
4972 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4974 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
4976 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4978 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
4979 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
4980 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
4982 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4983 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
4984 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4986 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
4987 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
4988 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4990 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
4992 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
4993 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
4994 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
4996 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
4997 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
4999 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5000 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5001 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5002 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5003 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5004 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5007 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5008 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5009 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5010 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5013 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5016 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5017 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5018 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5019 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5020 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5021 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5023 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5024 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5025 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5026 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5027 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5030 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5031 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5032 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5033 BN_generate_prime().)
5035 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5036 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5037 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5041 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5042 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5045 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5046 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5047 when using non-blocking I/O.
5048 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5050 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5051 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5053 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5054 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5057 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5058 configuration for the versions before that.
5059 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5061 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5062 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5063 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5064 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5067 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5068 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5069 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5072 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5076 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5077 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5078 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5080 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5081 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5083 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5084 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5085 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5086 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5087 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5088 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5089 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5092 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5093 using a local variable.
5094 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5096 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5097 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5098 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5100 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5103 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5104 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5106 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5107 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5108 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5110 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5112 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5113 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5114 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5115 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5118 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5122 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5123 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5124 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5125 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5126 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5128 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5129 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5130 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5132 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5133 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5134 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5136 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5137 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5138 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5139 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5141 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5142 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5143 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5145 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5147 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5148 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5150 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5152 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5153 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5154 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5155 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5157 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5158 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5159 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5160 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5162 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5163 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5165 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5166 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5167 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5170 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5171 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5172 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5174 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5176 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5177 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5178 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5179 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5180 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5181 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5182 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5185 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5186 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5187 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5188 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5190 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5191 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5192 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5193 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5194 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5195 the client will at least see that alert.
5198 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5202 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5203 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5204 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5206 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5207 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5208 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5209 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5212 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5213 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5214 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5216 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5217 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5218 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5219 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5220 may leak via logfiles.)
5222 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5223 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5224 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5225 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5229 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5230 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5233 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5234 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5235 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5236 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5237 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5240 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5241 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5243 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5244 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5245 followed by modular reduction.
5246 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5248 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5249 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5252 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5253 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5254 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5255 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5258 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5261 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5262 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5265 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5266 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5267 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5268 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5269 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5270 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5272 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5274 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5275 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5276 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5277 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5278 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5280 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5283 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5284 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5285 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5286 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5287 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5288 to allow the necessary settings.
5291 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5292 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5293 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5294 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5297 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5298 dh->length and always used
5300 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5302 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5303 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5304 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5305 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5306 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5311 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5313 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5319 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5320 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5321 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5322 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5324 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5325 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5326 always reject numbers >= n.
5329 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5330 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5331 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5332 variable) is not atomic.
5335 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5336 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5337 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5338 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5340 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5341 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5343 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5345 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5347 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5350 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5352 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5353 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5354 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5355 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5356 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5357 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5358 to traverse all of 'state'.
5360 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5361 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5362 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5364 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5365 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5367 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5368 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5369 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5370 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5371 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5372 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5373 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5374 further strengthens the PRNG.
5377 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5380 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5381 an error message in this case.
5384 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5387 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5388 positive and less than q.
5391 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5392 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5394 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5396 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5397 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5401 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5403 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5404 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5405 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5406 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5407 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5408 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5409 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5412 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5413 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5414 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5415 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5417 Both problems are now fixed.
5420 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5421 (previously it was 1024).
5424 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5425 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5428 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5431 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5432 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5433 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5436 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5437 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5438 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5439 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5440 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5441 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5442 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5443 environment variables.
5445 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5446 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5447 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5450 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5451 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5452 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5453 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5454 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5455 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5458 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5462 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5464 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5465 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5467 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5468 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5469 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5470 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5474 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5475 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5476 amount of data available.
5477 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5478 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5480 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5481 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5482 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5483 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5486 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5487 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5491 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5492 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5493 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5494 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5497 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5500 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5503 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5504 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5506 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5508 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5509 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5510 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5511 (but broken) behaviour.
5514 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5516 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5518 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5519 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5522 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5526 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5527 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5529 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5532 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5533 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5534 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5536 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5537 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5538 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5541 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5542 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5545 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5546 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5548 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5550 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5552 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5553 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5554 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5555 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5558 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5561 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5562 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5563 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5565 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5568 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5570 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5571 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5572 but the code is actually correct.
5575 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5576 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5577 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5578 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5579 and leaves the highest bit random.
5580 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5582 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5583 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5584 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5585 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5586 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5587 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5588 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5591 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5594 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5595 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5598 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5599 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5600 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5601 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5605 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5606 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5607 and break the signature.
5609 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5611 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5615 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5616 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5617 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5618 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5619 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5622 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5623 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5625 *) ./config script fixes.
5626 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5628 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5631 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5632 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5633 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5634 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5635 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5637 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5638 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5641 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5642 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5645 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5646 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5647 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5648 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5650 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5651 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5653 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5654 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5655 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5656 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5657 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5659 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5662 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5665 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5668 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5671 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5672 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5675 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5676 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5677 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5678 result of the server certificate verification.)
5681 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5682 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5683 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5687 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5688 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5689 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5690 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5691 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5692 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5693 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5694 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5697 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5698 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5699 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5700 happening the other way round.
5703 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5704 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5707 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5708 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5709 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5710 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5713 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5714 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5716 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5718 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5719 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5720 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5723 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5725 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5727 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5731 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5733 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5734 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5735 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5736 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5737 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5739 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5740 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5744 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5747 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5749 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5750 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5751 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5752 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5753 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5754 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5755 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5756 by the Finished messages.
5759 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5760 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5762 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5763 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5764 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5765 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5766 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5770 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5771 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5772 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5773 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5774 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5775 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5776 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5777 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5778 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5782 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5783 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5784 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5785 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5787 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5788 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5789 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5790 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5791 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5794 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5795 been tested well enough.
5798 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5799 it can return incorrect results.
5800 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5801 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5804 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5805 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5806 include zero length content when signing messages.
5809 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5810 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5813 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5816 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5820 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5821 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5822 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5823 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5824 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5825 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5828 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5829 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5831 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5832 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5834 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5835 random number < q in the DSA library.
5838 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5839 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5840 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5841 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5842 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5843 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5844 just makes things more complicated.)
5847 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5851 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5852 work better on such systems.
5853 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5855 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5856 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5857 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5860 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5861 if there was more than one signature.
5862 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5864 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5865 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5866 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5867 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5870 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5871 rather than always using the current time.
5874 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5875 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5876 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5877 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5878 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5879 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5881 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5882 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5884 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5886 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5887 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5888 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5889 the same hash value.
5891 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5892 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5893 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5894 with X509_STORE internally.
5896 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5897 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5899 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5900 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5901 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5902 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5903 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5904 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5905 entirely (maybe later...).
5907 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5909 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5910 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5911 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5912 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5913 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5914 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5915 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5916 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5918 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5919 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5921 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5922 to customise the verify behaviour.
5925 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5926 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5929 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5930 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5931 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5932 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5933 request is improperly encoded.
5936 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5937 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5940 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5941 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5943 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5944 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
5948 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
5949 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
5950 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
5953 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
5954 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
5955 BIO/fp routines also added.
5958 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
5959 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
5961 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
5962 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
5963 demos/state_machine.
5966 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
5967 generation and verification.
5970 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
5971 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
5972 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
5973 encode and decode it manually.
5976 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
5978 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
5980 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
5981 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
5982 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
5983 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
5985 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
5986 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
5987 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
5988 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
5989 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
5992 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
5995 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
5996 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
5997 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
5999 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6000 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6001 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6002 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6003 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6004 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6005 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6006 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6008 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6009 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6011 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6013 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6014 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6015 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6019 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6020 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6021 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6022 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6026 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6028 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6031 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6032 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6033 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6034 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6035 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6036 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6037 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6038 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6039 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6040 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6041 short or long names are found.
6044 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6045 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6047 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6048 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6049 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6050 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6052 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6053 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6054 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6055 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6058 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6059 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6060 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6063 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6064 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6065 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6066 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6067 to allow the various flags to be set.
6070 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6071 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6072 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6073 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6074 dates to be checked.
6077 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6078 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6079 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6082 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6083 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6084 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6087 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6088 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6091 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6092 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6093 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6094 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6095 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6096 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6099 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6100 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6104 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6108 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6109 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6110 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6111 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6112 form signing output easier to verify.
6115 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6118 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6119 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6120 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6121 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6122 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6123 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6124 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6125 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6126 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6127 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6130 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6132 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6133 the syntax given in objects.README.
6134 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6136 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6139 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6140 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6141 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6142 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6143 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6144 consistent name changes.
6147 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6150 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6151 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6152 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6153 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6156 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6157 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6158 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6162 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6163 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6164 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6165 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6168 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6169 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6170 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6171 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6172 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6173 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6174 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6175 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6176 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6177 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6178 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6181 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6182 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6183 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6184 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6185 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6186 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6187 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6188 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6189 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6190 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6193 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6194 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6195 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6196 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6198 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6199 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6200 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6201 omit any duplicate addresses.
6204 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6205 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6208 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6209 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6210 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6211 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6212 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6215 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6217 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6218 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6219 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6220 Free => OPENSSL_free
6223 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6224 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6227 *) CygWin32 support.
6228 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6230 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6231 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6232 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6233 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6234 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6238 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6239 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6240 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6241 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6242 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6243 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6244 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6247 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6248 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6249 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6250 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6251 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6252 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6253 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6254 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6255 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6256 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6257 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6260 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6261 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6262 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6263 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6264 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6266 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6267 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6268 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6269 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6270 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6272 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6275 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6276 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6277 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6278 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6280 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6282 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6285 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6286 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6287 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6290 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6291 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6292 any installed hardware versions can.
6295 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6296 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6297 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6301 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6302 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6303 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6304 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6305 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6307 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6308 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6311 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6312 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6315 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6316 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6317 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6321 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6324 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6325 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6326 but no ssl client purpose.
6327 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6329 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6330 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6331 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6332 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6333 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6334 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6335 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6336 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6337 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6338 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6339 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6342 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6343 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6344 be obtained from the error queue.
6347 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6348 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6349 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6350 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6353 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6356 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6357 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6358 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6359 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6360 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6363 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6364 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6365 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6366 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6367 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6370 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6371 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6372 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6374 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6376 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6377 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6378 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6379 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6380 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6381 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6382 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6383 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6384 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6385 or "the configuration storage API"...
6387 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6389 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6390 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6392 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6394 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6396 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6397 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6398 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6399 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6400 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6401 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6402 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6404 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6405 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6408 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6409 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6410 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6411 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6414 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6415 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6416 them in a portable way.
6417 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6419 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6421 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6423 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6424 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6426 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6427 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6428 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6431 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6432 was larger than the MD block size.
6433 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6435 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6436 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6437 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6438 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6442 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6443 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6444 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6446 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6448 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6450 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6451 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6452 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6453 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6454 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6455 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6457 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6458 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6460 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6461 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6464 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6467 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6468 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6470 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6471 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6472 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6473 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6476 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6477 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6478 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6479 does not suppress any output.
6482 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6483 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6484 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6485 with all the associated security issues.
6487 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6488 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6489 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6490 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6491 use the value in the default purpose.
6494 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6495 and fix a memory leak.
6498 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6499 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6500 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6501 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6504 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6505 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6506 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6507 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6510 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6511 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6512 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6515 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6516 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6519 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6520 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6524 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6525 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6528 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6529 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6530 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6533 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6534 number generation fails.
6537 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6540 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6541 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6543 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6546 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6547 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6549 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6550 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6552 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6554 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6555 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6558 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6559 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6561 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6562 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6565 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6566 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6567 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6568 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6569 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6570 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6572 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6573 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6574 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6578 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6579 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6580 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6581 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6582 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6583 counter, some don't.)
6584 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6585 counters or duplicate objects.
6588 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6589 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6592 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6593 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6594 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6596 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6597 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6598 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6602 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6603 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6606 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6607 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6608 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6612 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6613 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6614 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6617 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6618 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6619 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6620 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6621 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6622 should work without changes.
6625 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6626 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6627 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6628 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6629 must be defined. E.g.,
6630 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6631 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6632 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6633 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6635 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6639 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6640 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6641 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6644 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6645 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6646 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6647 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6650 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6651 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6652 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6653 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6654 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6655 is prompted for as usual.
6658 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6659 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6660 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6661 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6663 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6664 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6665 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6666 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6669 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6672 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6676 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6679 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6682 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6686 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6689 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6692 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6693 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6696 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6697 options to produce them.
6700 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6701 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6704 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6708 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6709 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6710 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6711 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6712 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6713 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6714 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6717 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6720 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6721 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6722 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6725 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6726 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6728 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6729 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6732 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6733 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6734 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6738 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6739 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6741 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6742 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6743 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6744 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6745 generation becomes much faster.
6747 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6748 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6749 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6750 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6751 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6752 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6753 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6754 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6755 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6756 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6759 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6760 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6761 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6762 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6763 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6764 trial division stage.
6767 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6771 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6774 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6777 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6778 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6779 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6783 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6784 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6785 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6788 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6789 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6790 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6791 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6793 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6794 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6797 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6800 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6801 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6802 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6803 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6806 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6807 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6808 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6811 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6812 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6813 (instead of parameters) in future.
6816 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6817 when a new cipher list is set.
6820 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6821 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6824 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6825 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6826 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6828 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6829 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6830 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6831 an error is flagged.
6833 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6834 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6835 the readability was also increased :-)
6836 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6838 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6839 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6840 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6841 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6845 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6846 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6849 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6850 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6851 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6852 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6855 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6856 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6857 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6858 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6859 because they handle more complex structures.)
6862 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6863 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6864 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6865 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6867 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6868 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6869 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6870 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6871 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6872 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6873 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6876 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6877 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6878 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6879 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6880 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6883 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6886 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6887 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6888 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6889 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6890 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6893 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6897 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6898 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6899 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6900 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6903 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6906 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6907 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6908 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6909 international characters are used.
6911 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6912 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6913 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6917 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6918 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6919 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6922 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6923 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6924 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6925 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6926 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6927 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6929 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6930 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6931 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6932 be handled by the string table functions.
6934 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6935 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6936 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6937 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6938 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6942 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6943 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6944 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6945 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6946 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
6948 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
6949 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
6950 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
6951 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
6954 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
6955 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
6956 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
6957 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
6958 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
6962 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
6963 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
6964 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
6965 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
6966 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
6967 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
6968 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
6969 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
6971 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
6972 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
6973 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
6976 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
6977 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
6978 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
6979 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
6980 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
6981 support to pkcs8 application.
6984 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
6985 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
6986 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
6987 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
6988 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
6989 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
6992 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
6993 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
6994 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
6995 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
6996 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7000 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7001 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7002 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7003 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7007 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7008 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7009 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7010 and any application specific purposes.
7012 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7013 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7014 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7015 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7016 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7017 if the certificate is self signed.
7020 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7021 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7024 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7025 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7026 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7027 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7030 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7031 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7032 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7033 Update documentation.
7036 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7037 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7038 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7039 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7040 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7043 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7045 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7047 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7048 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7049 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7050 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7051 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7052 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7053 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7054 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7055 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7056 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7058 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7060 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7061 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7062 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7063 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7064 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7066 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7067 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7068 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7069 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7070 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7071 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7072 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7073 request additional information:
7074 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7075 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7077 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7078 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7079 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7082 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7083 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7086 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7089 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7090 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7092 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7093 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7094 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7098 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7099 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7100 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7102 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7103 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7104 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7105 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7106 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7107 included in OpenSSL.
7110 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7111 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7112 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7113 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7114 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7115 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7118 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7122 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7123 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7124 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7125 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7126 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7130 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7134 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7135 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7136 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7137 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7138 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7139 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7140 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7141 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7142 be maintained manually.
7144 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7145 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7146 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7147 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7148 work because people forget to call this function]
7149 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7150 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7151 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7154 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7155 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7156 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7157 should be discouraged from doing it.
7160 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7161 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7162 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7163 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7164 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7165 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7168 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7169 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7170 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7172 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7173 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7174 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7176 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7177 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7178 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7179 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7180 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7181 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7183 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7184 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7185 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7187 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7188 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7191 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7192 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7193 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7194 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7197 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7200 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7201 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7202 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7203 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7204 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7205 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7206 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7207 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7208 keys so we should be OK.
7210 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7211 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7212 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7213 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7214 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7215 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7216 stay in the name of compatibility.
7218 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7219 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7220 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7222 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7223 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7224 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7225 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7226 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7227 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7231 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7232 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7233 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7234 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7235 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7236 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7237 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7238 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7239 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7240 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7241 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7242 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7243 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7246 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7249 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7250 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7251 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7252 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7253 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7254 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7255 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7256 openssl verify ss.pem
7257 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7258 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7262 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7263 (and add it to external session representation).
7264 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7265 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7266 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7267 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7268 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7269 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7271 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7273 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7274 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7275 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7276 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7278 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7279 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7280 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7283 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7284 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7285 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7289 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7290 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7291 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7293 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7294 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7295 certificate auxiliary information.
7298 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7302 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7303 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7304 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7305 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7306 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7307 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7308 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7311 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7312 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7315 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7316 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7317 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7318 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7321 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7324 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7325 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7328 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7329 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7330 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7331 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7332 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7333 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7334 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7335 using the new 'x509' options.
7337 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7338 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7339 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7340 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7344 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7345 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7346 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7347 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7348 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7351 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7352 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7353 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7354 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7355 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7356 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7357 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7358 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7359 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7360 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7363 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7364 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7365 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7366 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7367 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7368 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7369 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7372 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7373 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7374 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7375 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7376 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7377 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7378 openssl.cnf for more info.
7381 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7382 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7383 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7384 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7385 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7386 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7387 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7388 md should be large enough anyway.
7391 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7392 for handling the random seed file.
7394 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7396 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7399 x509 (when signing).
7400 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7401 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7402 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7404 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7405 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7406 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7407 that support '-rand'.
7410 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7411 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7414 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7415 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7418 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7419 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7420 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7421 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7425 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7426 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7427 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7428 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7431 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7432 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7433 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7434 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7435 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7436 print out all the purposes.
7439 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7443 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7444 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7445 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7446 single function call.
7449 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7450 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7453 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7454 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7455 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7458 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7459 when producing the local key id.
7460 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7462 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7463 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7464 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7468 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7469 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7470 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7471 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7474 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7475 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7476 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7477 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7479 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7480 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7481 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7482 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7484 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7485 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7486 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7487 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7488 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7489 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7490 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7491 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7492 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7493 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7494 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7495 trivial: move one line.
7496 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7498 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7499 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7500 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7501 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7502 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7503 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7504 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7505 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7506 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7507 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7508 with an event loop for example.
7511 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7512 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7513 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7514 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7515 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7516 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7517 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7518 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7519 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7522 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7523 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7524 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7525 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7526 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7527 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7530 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7531 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7532 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7533 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7535 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7536 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7537 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7538 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7542 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7543 (still largely untested)
7546 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7547 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7550 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7551 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7554 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7555 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7556 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7559 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7560 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7561 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7562 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7563 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7566 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7569 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7570 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7571 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7572 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7573 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7577 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7578 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7581 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7584 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7585 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7586 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7587 are otherwise ignored at present.
7590 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7591 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7592 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7593 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7594 copied until the next read.
7597 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7598 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7599 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7602 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7603 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7604 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7605 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7606 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7607 associated functions.
7610 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7611 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7612 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7613 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7614 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7615 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7616 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7617 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7618 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7622 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7623 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7624 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7625 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7628 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7629 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7630 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7631 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7632 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7636 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7637 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7641 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7642 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7643 extensions to be obtained and added.
7646 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7647 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7650 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7652 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7653 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7655 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7656 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7658 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7662 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7663 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7664 DH parameters contain its length).
7666 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7667 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7668 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7669 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7670 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7671 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7672 utter importance to use
7673 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7675 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7676 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7677 attacks may become possible!
7680 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7683 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7684 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7687 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7688 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7689 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7693 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7694 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7695 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7696 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7697 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7698 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7699 private key operations.
7702 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7705 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7706 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7708 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7709 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7710 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7711 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7712 the password callback is called.
7713 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7715 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7717 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7718 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7719 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7720 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7721 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7722 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7725 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7726 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7727 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7728 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7729 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7730 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7733 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7736 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7737 delete an unused file.
7740 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7741 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7742 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7743 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7746 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7747 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7748 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7752 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7753 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7754 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7756 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7757 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7758 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7759 comparison" warnings.
7760 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7763 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7764 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7765 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7768 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7769 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7771 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7772 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7774 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7775 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7776 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7778 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7779 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7780 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7781 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7782 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7784 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7786 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7787 The interface is as follows:
7788 Applications can use
7789 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7790 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7791 "off" is now the default.
7792 The library internally uses
7793 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7794 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7795 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7797 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7798 even the default) are now avoided.
7800 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7801 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7802 than just having a counter.
7804 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7806 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7810 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7811 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7812 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7813 Initial "mode" flags are:
7815 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7816 a single record has been written.
7817 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7818 retries use the same buffer location.
7819 (But all of the contents must be
7823 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7826 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7827 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7829 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7830 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7831 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7834 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7835 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7837 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7839 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7840 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7841 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7842 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7844 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7845 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7847 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7848 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7849 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7850 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7851 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7852 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7855 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7856 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7857 necessary function names.
7860 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7861 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7862 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7863 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7866 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7867 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7868 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7871 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7872 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7873 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7874 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7876 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7880 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7881 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7882 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7885 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7886 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7890 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7891 for the encoded length.
7892 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7894 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7897 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7898 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7899 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7900 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7903 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7904 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7905 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7907 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7908 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7909 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7913 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7914 to use the new extension code.
7917 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7918 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7919 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7923 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7924 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7925 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7929 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7932 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7933 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7934 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7937 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7938 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7939 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7940 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7943 *) DES library cleanups.
7946 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7947 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
7948 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
7949 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
7950 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
7954 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
7955 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
7958 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
7959 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
7960 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
7961 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
7962 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
7963 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
7964 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
7965 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
7966 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
7969 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
7970 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
7971 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
7972 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
7973 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
7974 value doesn't matter.
7977 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
7981 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
7982 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
7983 "linux-sparc" configuration.
7984 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
7986 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
7989 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
7990 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
7991 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7993 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
7994 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7996 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
7999 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8002 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8005 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8009 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8011 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8013 *) Updated some demos.
8014 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8016 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8019 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8022 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8025 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8026 instead of using a fixed path.
8029 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8032 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8036 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8038 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8039 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8040 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8042 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8043 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8044 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8045 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8046 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8047 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8048 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8049 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8050 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8051 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8054 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8055 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8058 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8059 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8060 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8061 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8062 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8064 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8067 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8068 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8069 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8072 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8075 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8076 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8077 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8078 key elements as negative integers.
8081 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8082 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8085 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8087 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8088 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8089 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8092 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8093 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8094 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8095 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8096 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8099 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8102 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8103 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8104 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8105 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8107 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8108 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8109 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8111 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8112 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8113 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8114 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8115 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8116 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8117 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8118 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8119 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8121 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8122 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8123 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8124 does not influence s as it used to.
8126 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8127 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8128 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8129 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8130 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8131 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8134 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8135 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8136 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8140 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8141 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8142 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8146 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8147 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8148 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8152 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8153 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8156 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8157 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8162 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8163 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8165 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8166 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8168 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8171 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8174 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8175 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8177 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8178 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8179 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8183 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8184 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8185 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8186 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8187 now it really counts the depth.
8190 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8191 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8192 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8193 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8194 didn't match the private key).
8196 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8197 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8198 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8201 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8204 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8208 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8209 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8210 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8213 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8216 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8217 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8218 such as /usr/local/bin.
8221 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8222 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8224 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8227 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8228 extension adding in x509 utility.
8231 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8234 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8238 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8241 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8242 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8243 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8244 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8245 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8246 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8247 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8248 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8249 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8250 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8253 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8256 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8257 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8260 *) Fix some race conditions.
8263 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8264 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8267 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8270 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8271 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8272 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8273 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8275 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8276 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8278 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8279 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8280 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8282 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8283 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8285 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8288 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8289 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8291 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8294 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8295 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8297 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8298 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8301 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8302 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8305 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8306 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8309 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8310 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8313 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8314 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8317 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8318 support typesafe stack.
8321 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8322 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8324 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8325 old X509V3 handling code.
8328 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8331 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8334 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8337 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8338 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8340 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8341 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8342 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8343 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8344 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8347 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8348 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8349 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8350 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8351 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8353 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8354 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8355 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8356 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8358 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8359 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8360 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8361 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8363 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8364 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8365 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8366 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8367 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8368 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8371 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8372 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8375 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8376 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8379 *) Tweaks to Configure
8380 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8382 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8386 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8389 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8390 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8393 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8394 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8395 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8398 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8401 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8402 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8405 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8406 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8407 to library startup routines.
8410 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8411 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8412 codes along the way.
8415 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8416 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8417 objects to objects.h
8420 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8421 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8424 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8425 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8427 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8428 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8429 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8431 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8432 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8433 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8435 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8436 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8437 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8440 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8442 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8443 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8446 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8447 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8448 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8449 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8450 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8452 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8453 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8454 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8456 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8458 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8460 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8462 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8463 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8465 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8466 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8467 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8468 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8470 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8473 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8474 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8475 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8476 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8479 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8480 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8481 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8484 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8485 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8486 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8487 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8488 installed as `perl').
8489 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8491 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8492 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8494 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8495 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8496 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8497 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8498 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8501 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8504 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8505 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8506 is horrible: I feel ill....
8509 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8510 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8511 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8512 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8515 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8516 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8518 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8519 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8520 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8521 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8523 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8524 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8525 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8526 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8527 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8528 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8530 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8532 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8533 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8535 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8536 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8538 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8541 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8542 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8546 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8547 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8548 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8549 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8550 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8551 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8552 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8553 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8554 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8555 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8556 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8558 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8561 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8562 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8563 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8564 for linking it into DSOs.
8565 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8567 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8571 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8572 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8573 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8574 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8575 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8576 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8578 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8579 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8580 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8581 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8582 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8583 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8584 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8586 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8587 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8588 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8592 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8593 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8594 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8595 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8598 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8599 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8600 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8601 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8602 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8606 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8607 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8608 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8609 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8610 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8612 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8613 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8614 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8616 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8617 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8619 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8620 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8621 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8622 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8623 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8626 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8627 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8628 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8629 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8630 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8631 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8632 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8635 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8637 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8638 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8641 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8642 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8644 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8645 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8648 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8649 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8650 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8651 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8652 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8654 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8655 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8656 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8657 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8658 no way to reconfigure them.
8659 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8660 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8661 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8662 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8663 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8664 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8666 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8667 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8668 recognized by the users.
8669 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8671 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8672 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8673 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8674 already masked variable.
8675 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8677 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8678 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8680 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8681 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8682 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8683 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8685 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8686 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8687 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8689 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8690 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8691 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8692 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8693 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8694 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8695 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8696 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8698 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8700 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8701 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8702 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8704 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8705 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8709 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8710 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8712 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8713 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8714 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8715 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8718 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8721 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8722 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8724 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8727 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8728 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8731 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8732 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8735 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8736 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8737 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8738 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8739 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8740 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8741 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8744 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8745 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8747 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8748 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8749 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8750 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8751 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8753 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8754 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8755 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8758 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8759 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8763 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8764 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8765 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8767 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8768 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8769 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8773 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8774 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8775 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8776 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8779 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8780 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8781 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8782 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8785 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8786 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8787 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8788 so it wasn't spotted.
8789 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8791 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8792 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8793 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8794 vectors if you have them.
8797 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8798 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8801 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8802 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8803 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8804 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8806 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8807 it will update them.
8810 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8811 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8812 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8813 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8814 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8815 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8816 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8817 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8819 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8820 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8821 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8822 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8823 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8824 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8825 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8826 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8827 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8828 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8830 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8831 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8832 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8833 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8834 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8837 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8841 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8842 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8844 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8845 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8847 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8848 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8851 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8852 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8854 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8855 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8857 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8860 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8864 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8865 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8866 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8867 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8869 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8872 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8875 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8878 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8879 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8882 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8883 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8887 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8888 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8891 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8892 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8893 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8896 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8897 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8898 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8899 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8900 properly to be processed.
8903 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8904 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8905 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8908 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8909 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8911 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8912 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8913 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8914 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8915 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8916 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8917 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8918 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8919 or delete all the .err files.
8922 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8923 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8924 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8925 to regenerate it if needed.
8926 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8927 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8929 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8930 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8932 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8933 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8934 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8935 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8936 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8939 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8940 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8942 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8943 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8945 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8946 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8947 error, but didn't set one).
8948 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8950 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
8953 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
8954 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
8957 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
8958 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
8960 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
8961 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
8962 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
8963 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
8964 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
8965 OID is not part of the table.
8968 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
8969 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
8972 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
8975 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
8976 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
8980 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
8981 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
8983 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
8985 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8987 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
8988 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8990 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
8991 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8993 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
8994 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8996 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
8997 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9000 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9001 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9004 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9005 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9007 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9008 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9010 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9011 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9013 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9014 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9016 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9017 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9018 unused in the certificate verification process.
9019 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9021 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9022 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9025 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9026 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9027 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9029 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9030 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9031 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9032 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9033 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9035 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9036 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9039 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9042 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9045 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9046 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9048 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9051 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9054 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9057 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9058 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9059 other error libraries.
9062 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9065 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9066 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9070 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9071 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9072 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9073 the new set of documenation files.
9074 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9076 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9077 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9078 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9079 number of arguments.
9080 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9082 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9085 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9086 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9087 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9089 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9092 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9096 unixware-2.0-pentium
9100 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9101 before they are needed.
9104 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9108 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9110 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9111 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9112 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9114 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9117 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9118 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9119 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9121 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9122 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9123 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9125 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9126 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9127 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9129 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9130 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9132 *) Updated the README file.
9133 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9135 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9136 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9137 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9139 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9140 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9141 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9143 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9144 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9145 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9146 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9147 o removed obsolete TODO file
9148 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9149 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9151 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9152 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9153 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

9156 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9157 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9159 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9162 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9163 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9164 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9166 [The OpenSSL Project]
9169 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9171 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9174 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9177 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9178 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9181 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9182 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9186 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9188 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9190 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9193 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9196 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9199 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9202 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9205 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9208 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9211 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9214 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9217 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9220 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9223 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9226 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9229 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9232 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9235 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9238 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9241 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9242 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9243 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9246 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9247 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
9250 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
9253 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
9256 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
9257 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
9260 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
9263 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
9266 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
9267 bytes sent in the client random.
