5 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 [xx XXX 2002]
7 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
9 Add applications 'openssl ecdsaparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
10 (these are variants of 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
12 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
13 library. Most notably,
14 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
15 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
16 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
17 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
18 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
19 extracted before the specific public key.
20 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
22 *) Add reference counting for EC_GROUP objects.
23 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
25 *) Include some named elliptic curves. These can be obtained from
28 EC_GROUP_new_by_name()
29 Also add a 'nid' field to EC_GROUP objects, which can be accessed
33 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
35 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 [xx XXX 2002]
37 OpenSSL 0.9.6a/0.9.6b/0.9.6c/0.9.6d (bugfix releases, 5 Apr 2001,
38 9 July 2001, 21 Dec 2001 and xx XXX 2002) and OpenSSL 0.9.7 were
39 developed in parallel, based on OpenSSL 0.9.6.
41 Change log entries are tagged as follows:
42 -) applies to 0.9.6a ... 0.9.6d only
43 *) applies to 0.9.6a ... 0.9.6d and 0.9.7
44 +) applies to 0.9.7 only
46 +) Config modules support in openssl utility.
48 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
49 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
50 because it couldn't be used for anything.
52 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
53 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
54 command line option can be used to specify an
58 +) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
59 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
62 +) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
63 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
64 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
67 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
68 configuration for the versions before that.
69 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
71 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
72 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
73 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
74 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
77 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
78 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
79 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
82 +) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
83 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
84 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
85 to work with the new engine framework.
86 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
88 +) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
89 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
90 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
91 to work with the new engine framework.
94 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
98 +) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
99 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
100 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
102 +) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
103 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
105 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
106 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
108 +) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
109 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
110 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
111 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
113 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
115 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
116 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
118 +) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
119 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
121 +) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
122 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
123 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
128 ERR_peek_last_error_line
129 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
133 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
134 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
135 still in the error queue.
136 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
138 +) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
140 default_algorithms = ALL
141 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
144 +) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
147 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
148 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
149 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
150 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
151 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
152 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
153 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
156 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
157 using a local variable.
158 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
160 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
161 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
162 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
164 +) New experimental application configuration code.
167 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
170 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
171 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
173 +) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
174 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
175 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
176 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
178 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
179 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
180 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
182 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6c released [21 dec 2001]
184 +) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
185 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
187 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
188 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
189 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
190 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
193 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
197 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
198 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
199 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
200 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
201 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
203 +) Add option to output public keys in req command.
204 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
206 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
207 returns early because it has nothing to do.
208 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
210 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine and 0.9.7 release:]
211 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
212 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
214 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
215 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
216 (Use engine 'keyclient')
217 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
219 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
220 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
221 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
223 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
225 +) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
226 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
229 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
230 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
232 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
234 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
235 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
236 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
237 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
239 -) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
240 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
241 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
242 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
244 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
245 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
247 +) New functions/macros
249 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
250 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
251 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
252 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
254 to request calling a callback function
256 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
257 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
259 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
260 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
261 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
262 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
263 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
264 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
265 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
266 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
267 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
268 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
270 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
271 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
274 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
275 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
276 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
279 +) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
280 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
281 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
282 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
283 the configuration scripts.
285 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
286 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
287 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
289 +) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
290 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
292 +) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
293 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
294 when reusing an existing buffer.
297 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
298 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
299 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
301 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
303 +) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
304 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
307 +) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
308 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
311 +) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
312 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
313 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
315 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
317 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
318 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
319 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
320 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
321 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
322 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
323 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
326 +) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
327 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
328 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
329 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_*.
331 All this is done because there are increasing clashes with libdes
332 and other DES libraries that are currently used by other projects.
333 The old libdes interface (including crypt()) is provided if
334 <openssl/des_old.h> is included. For now, this automatically
335 happens in <openssl/des.h> unless OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT is
336 defined. Note that crypt() is no longer declared in <openssl/des.h>.
338 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
339 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
340 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
341 will be completely removed.
344 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
345 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
346 one of the SSL handshake functions.
347 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
349 +) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
350 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
351 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
352 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
353 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
354 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
355 particular extension is supported.
358 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
359 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
360 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
361 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
362 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
363 the client will at least see that alert.
366 +) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
367 to retain compatibility with existing code.
370 +) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
371 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
372 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
373 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
374 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
375 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
376 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
377 requires the destination to be valid.
379 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
380 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
383 +) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
384 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
385 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
388 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
392 +) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
393 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
395 +) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
396 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
397 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
398 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
399 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
400 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
401 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
402 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
403 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
404 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
405 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
406 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
407 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
408 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
409 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
410 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
411 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
412 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
413 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
417 +) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
420 +) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
421 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
422 become part of libeay.num as well.
425 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
426 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
427 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
429 +) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
430 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
431 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
432 false once a handshake has been completed.
433 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
434 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
435 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
436 client has followed the request.)
439 +) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
440 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
441 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
442 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
445 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
446 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
447 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
448 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
451 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
452 before just sending a HelloRequest.
453 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
455 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
456 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
457 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
458 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
459 may leak via logfiles.)
461 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
462 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
463 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
464 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
468 +) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
471 +) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
472 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
473 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
476 +) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
477 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
480 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
481 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
484 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
485 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
486 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
487 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
488 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
491 +) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
492 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
493 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
494 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
497 +) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
498 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
499 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
500 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
501 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
502 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
505 +) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
506 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
507 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
508 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
509 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
510 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
511 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
512 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
516 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
518 +) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
519 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
522 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
523 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
524 followed by modular reduction.
525 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
527 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
528 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
531 +) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
534 +) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
535 md_data void pointer.
538 +) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
539 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
540 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
541 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
542 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
543 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
546 +) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
547 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
548 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
549 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
550 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
551 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
552 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
553 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
554 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
555 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
556 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
557 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
558 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
559 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
560 rather than letting it slide.
562 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
563 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
564 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
567 +) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
568 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
569 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
570 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
571 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
572 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
573 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
574 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
575 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
578 +) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
579 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
580 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
581 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
582 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
584 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
587 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
588 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
589 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
590 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
593 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
596 +) Add EVP test program.
599 +) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
602 +) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
603 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
604 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
605 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
606 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
609 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
610 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
613 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
614 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
615 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
616 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
617 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
618 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
620 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
622 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
623 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
624 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
625 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
626 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
628 +) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
629 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
630 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
631 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
632 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
633 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
634 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
636 +) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
637 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions. This also reduces
638 the number of header dependencies.
641 +) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
642 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
643 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
644 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
648 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
651 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
652 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
653 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
654 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
655 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
656 to allow the necessary settings.
659 +) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
660 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
661 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
662 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
663 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
664 functions prevents this.
667 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
668 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
669 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
670 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
673 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
674 dh->length and always used
676 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
678 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
679 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
680 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
681 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
682 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
687 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
689 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
695 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
696 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
697 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
698 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
700 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
701 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
702 always reject numbers >= n.
705 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
706 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
707 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
708 variable) is not atomic.
711 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
712 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
713 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
714 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
716 +) Cleanup of EVP macros.
719 +) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
723 +) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
724 revocation information is handled using the text based index
725 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
726 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
727 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
730 +) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
733 +) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
734 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
735 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
736 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
738 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
739 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
741 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
742 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
743 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
746 +) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
747 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
748 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
749 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
752 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
753 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
755 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
757 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
759 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
762 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6b released [9 July 2001]
764 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
765 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
766 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
767 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
768 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
769 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
770 to traverse all of 'state'.
772 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
773 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
774 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
776 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
777 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
779 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
780 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
781 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
782 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
783 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
784 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
785 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
786 further strengthens the PRNG.
789 +) Speed up EVP routines.

807 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
810 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
811 an error message in this case.
814 +) Added the OS2-EMX target.
815 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
817 +) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
818 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
819 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
820 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
821 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
822 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
825 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
828 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
829 positive and less than q.
832 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
833 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
836 +) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
837 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
838 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
839 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
841 +) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
842 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
843 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
844 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
845 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
846 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
850 +) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
851 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
852 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
853 and interrupts/cancellations.
856 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
857 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
859 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
861 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
862 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
865 +) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
866 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
870 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
872 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
873 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
874 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
875 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
876 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
877 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
878 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
881 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
882 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
883 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
884 detect the supposedly ignored error.
886 Both problems are now fixed.
889 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
890 (previously it was 1024).
893 +) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
894 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
895 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
897 +) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
898 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
902 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
903 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
906 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
909 +) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
910 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
911 than this minimum value is recommended.
914 +) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
915 that are easily reachable.
918 +) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
919 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
921 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
923 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
924 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
925 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
926 needed for static libraries under Win32.
929 +) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
930 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
931 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
934 +) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
935 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
936 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
937 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
938 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
939 internally such as S/MIME.
941 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
942 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
943 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
945 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
949 +) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
950 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
951 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
952 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
954 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
956 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
958 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
959 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
960 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
964 +) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
965 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
966 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
967 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
968 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
969 a window system and the like.
972 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
973 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
974 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
977 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
978 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
979 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
980 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
981 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
982 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
983 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
984 environment variables.
986 +) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
987 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
990 +) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
991 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
992 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
993 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
994 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
995 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
996 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
997 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
998 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
1002 +) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
1003 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
1007 +) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
1008 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
1009 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
1010 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
1011 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
1012 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
1013 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
1014 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
1017 +) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
1018 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
1019 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
1020 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
1021 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
1022 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
1023 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
1024 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
1025 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
1026 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
1027 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
1028 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
1029 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
1030 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
1031 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
1032 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
1033 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
1036 +) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
1037 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
1038 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
1039 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
1040 internal engine_int.h header.
1043 +) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
1044 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
1045 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
1046 modify their own ones).
1049 +) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
1050 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
1051 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
1052 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
1053 later on via ctrl() commands.
1054 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
1055 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
1056 structural references.
1057 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
1058 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
1059 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
1060 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
1061 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
1062 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
1063 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
1064 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
1065 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
1066 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
1067 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
1068 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
1071 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
1072 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
1073 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
1076 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
1077 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
1078 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
1079 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
1080 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
1081 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
1084 +) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
1085 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
1086 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
1087 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
1088 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
1089 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
1090 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
1091 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
1094 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
1098 -) OpenSSL 0.9.6a released [5 Apr 2001]
1100 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
1101 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
1103 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
1104 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
1105 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
1106 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
1110 +) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
1111 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
1114 -) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
1115 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
1116 amount of data available.
1117 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
1118 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1120 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
1121 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
1122 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
1123 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
1126 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
1127 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
1131 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
1132 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
1133 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
1134 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
1137 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
1140 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
1143 -) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
1144 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
1146 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1148 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
1149 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
1150 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
1151 (but broken) behaviour.
1154 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
1156 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
1158 +) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
1159 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
1162 +) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
1163 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
1164 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
1165 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
1166 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
1167 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
1168 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
1171 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
1172 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
1175 +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
1176 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
1177 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
1178 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
1179 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
1181 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
1182 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
1186 +) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
1188 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
1189 operations and provides various method functions that can also
1190 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
1192 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
1193 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
1195 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
1196 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
1197 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
1199 +) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
1200 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
1202 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
1203 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
1205 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
1207 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
1208 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
1209 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
1212 +) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
1213 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
1216 +) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
1217 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
1218 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
1219 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
1220 is 40 of more characters long.
1223 +) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
1224 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
1228 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
1232 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
1233 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
1235 +) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
1236 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
1239 +) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
1240 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
1244 +) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
1246 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
1247 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
1250 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
1252 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
1253 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
1254 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
1256 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
1257 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
1259 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
1262 +) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
1266 +) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
1267 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
1268 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
1269 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
1271 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
1273 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
1274 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
1276 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
1279 +) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
1280 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
1281 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
1282 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
1283 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
1284 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
1286 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
1287 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
1289 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
1290 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1292 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
1293 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
1295 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
1296 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
1297 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
1298 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
1300 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
1301 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
1303 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
1304 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
1306 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
1307 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
1308 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
1309 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
1310 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
1313 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
1314 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
1315 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
1317 +) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
1318 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
1319 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
1320 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
1323 +) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
1324 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
1325 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
1329 +) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
1330 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
1331 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
1332 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
1333 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
1334 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
1335 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
1336 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
1340 +) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
1341 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
1344 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
1345 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
1346 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
1349 +) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
1350 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
1351 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
1352 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
1355 +) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
1356 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
1357 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
1358 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
1359 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
1360 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
1361 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
1362 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
1363 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
1364 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
1367 +) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
1368 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
1369 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
1370 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
1371 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
1372 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
1373 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
1374 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
1376 +) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
1377 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
1378 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
1379 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
1382 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
1383 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
1386 +) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
1387 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
1388 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
1389 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
1391 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
1392 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
1393 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
1394 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
1395 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
1399 +) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
1400 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
1401 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
1402 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
1406 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
1407 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
1409 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
1411 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
1413 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
1414 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
1415 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
1416 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
1419 +) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
1420 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
1421 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
1424 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
1427 +) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
1428 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
1429 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
1430 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
1431 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
1434 +) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
1437 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
1438 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
1439 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
1441 +) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
1442 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
1443 option to ocsp utility.
1446 +) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
1447 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
1448 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
1449 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
1450 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
1451 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
1452 the request is nonce-less.
1455 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
1458 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1460 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
1461 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
1462 but the code is actually correct.
1465 +) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
1466 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
1467 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
1470 +) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
1471 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
1472 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
1475 +) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
1476 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
1477 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
1478 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
1479 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
1482 +) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
1483 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
1487 +) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
1488 additional certificates supplied.
1491 +) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
1492 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
1496 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
1497 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
1498 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
1499 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
1500 and leaves the highest bit random.
1501 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
1503 +) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
1504 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
1505 AES OIDs. Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in the "AES Ciphersuites
1506 for TLS" draft-ietf-tls-ciphersuite-03.txt.
1507 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
1509 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
1510 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
1511 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
1512 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
1513 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
1514 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
1515 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
1518 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
1521 +) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
1522 request to response.
1525 +) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
1526 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
1527 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
1528 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
1529 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
1530 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
1531 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
1532 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
1533 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
1534 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
1535 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
1538 +) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
1539 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
1540 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
1541 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
1544 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
1545 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
1548 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
1549 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
1550 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
1551 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
1555 +) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
1556 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1558 +) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
1559 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
1560 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
1563 -) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
1564 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
1565 and break the signature.
1567 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
1569 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
1573 +) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
1574 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
1575 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
1576 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1577 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1579 +) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
1580 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
1581 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
1584 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
1585 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
1586 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
1587 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
1588 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
1591 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
1592 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
1594 *) ./config script fixes.
1595 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
1597 +) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
1598 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
1599 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
1600 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
1601 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
1602 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
1603 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
1604 <support@securenetterm.com>]
1606 +) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
1607 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
1608 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
1609 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
1610 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
1611 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
1614 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
1617 +) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
1618 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
1619 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
1620 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
1621 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
1622 printout format cleaned up.
1625 +) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
1626 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
1627 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
1628 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
1629 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
1630 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
1631 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
1632 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
1635 +) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
1636 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
1637 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
1638 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
1639 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
1640 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
1641 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
1642 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
1645 +) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
1646 extensions from a separate configuration file.
1647 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
1648 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
1650 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1652 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
1653 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
1654 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
1655 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
1656 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
1658 +) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
1659 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
1660 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
1661 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
1664 +) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
1665 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
1666 the given serial number (according to the index file).
1667 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
1669 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
1671 +) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
1672 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
1673 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
1674 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
1676 +) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
1677 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
1679 +) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
1680 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
1681 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
1684 +) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
1685 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
1686 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
1689 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
1690 call failed, free the DSA structure.
1693 +) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
1694 file name and line number information in additional arguments
1695 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
1696 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
1697 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
1698 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
1699 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
1700 functions are provided:
1702 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
1703 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
1704 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
1705 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
1707 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
1708 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
1709 extended allocation function is enabled.
1710 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
1711 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
1712 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
1714 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
1715 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
1718 +) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
1719 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
1720 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
1721 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
1722 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
1725 +) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
1726 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
1727 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
1729 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
1730 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
1731 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
1734 +) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
1735 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
1736 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
1737 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
1738 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
1739 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
1740 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
1741 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
1742 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
1745 +) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
1746 provide utility functions which an application needing
1747 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
1748 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
1749 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
1751 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
1752 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
1753 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
1754 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
1755 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
1756 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
1757 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
1758 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
1759 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
1761 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
1762 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
1763 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
1764 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
1767 +) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
1768 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
1769 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
1770 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
1771 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
1772 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
1773 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
1774 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
1775 will be added elsewhere.
1778 +) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
1779 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
1780 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
1781 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
1784 +) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
1785 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
1786 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
1787 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
1788 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
1789 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
1790 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
1791 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
1792 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
1793 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
1794 to produce the required SET OF.
1797 +) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
1798 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
1799 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
1802 +) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
1803 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
1804 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
1805 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
1806 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
1807 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
1810 +) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
1811 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
1812 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
1815 +) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
1816 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
1817 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
1820 +) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
1821 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
1822 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
1823 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
1824 code will still work when these eventually go away.
1827 +) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
1828 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
1831 +) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
1832 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
1833 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
1834 certifcates and CRLs.
1837 +) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
1838 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
1839 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
1842 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
1843 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
1844 when writing a 32767 byte record.
1845 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
1847 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
1848 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
1850 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
1851 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
1852 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
1853 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
1854 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
1856 +) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
1857 entries for variables.
1860 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
1863 +) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
1864 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
1865 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
1866 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
1869 +) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
1870 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
1871 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
1872 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
1873 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
1874 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
1877 +) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
1878 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
1880 +) Move common extension printing code to new function
1881 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
1882 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
1885 +) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
1889 +) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
1890 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
1891 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
1892 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
1893 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
1894 order did not reflect the encoded order.
1897 +) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
1900 +) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
1901 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
1902 for now but they will eventually go away.
1905 +) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
1906 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
1907 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
1908 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
1909 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
1910 has also been converted to the new form.
1913 +) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
1914 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
1915 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
1916 for negative moduli.
1919 +) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
1920 of not touching the result's sign bit.
1923 +) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
1927 +) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
1928 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
1929 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
1930 type-specific callbacks.
1933 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
1936 +) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
1938 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
1939 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
1941 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
1944 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
1947 +) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
1948 in sections depending on the subject.
1951 +) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
1955 +) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
1956 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
1957 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
1958 be handled deterministically).
1959 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
1961 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
1962 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
1965 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
1966 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
1967 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
1968 result of the server certificate verification.)
1971 +) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
1972 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
1973 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
1976 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
1977 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
1978 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
1982 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
1983 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
1984 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
1985 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
1986 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
1987 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
1988 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
1989 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
1992 +) New function BN_kronecker.
1995 +) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
1996 positive unless both parameters are zero.
1997 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
1998 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
1999 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
2002 +) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
2003 sign of the number in question.
2005 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
2007 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
2008 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
2009 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
2010 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
2011 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
2014 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
2015 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
2016 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
2017 happening the other way round.
2020 +) New function BN_swap.
2023 +) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
2024 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
2025 results on negative inputs.
2028 +) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
2029 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
2030 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
2033 +) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
2034 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
2035 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
2036 and add new functions:
2045 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
2049 These functions always generate non-negative results.
2051 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
2052 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
2054 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
2055 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
2056 be reduced modulo m.
2057 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
2059 +) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2060 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2061 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2062 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2063 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2064 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2068 +) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
2069 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
2070 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
2071 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
2072 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
2074 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
2075 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
2076 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
2080 +) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
2083 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
2084 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
2087 +) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
2088 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
2091 +) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
2092 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
2093 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
2094 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
2098 +) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
2101 +) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
2104 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
2105 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
2106 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
2107 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
2110 +) Add the following functions:
2112 ENGINE_load_cswift()
2114 ENGINE_load_atalla()
2116 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
2118 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
2119 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
2120 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
2121 libraries unless it's really needed.
2123 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
2124 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
2125 declarations (they differed!).
2128 +) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
2131 +) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
2134 +) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
2137 +) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
2138 identity, and test if they are actually available.
2141 +) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
2142 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
2143 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
2145 +) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
2146 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
2149 +) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
2152 +) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
2155 +) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
2158 +) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
2159 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
2160 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
2162 +) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
2163 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
2164 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
2165 different shared library filenames on each system.
2168 +) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
2171 +) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
2172 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
2173 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
2175 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
2178 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
2179 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
2180 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
2181 binary backward compatibility.
2182 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
2183 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
2184 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
2188 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
2189 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
2191 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
2193 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
2194 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
2195 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
2198 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
2200 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
2202 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
2206 +) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
2207 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
2208 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
2209 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
2213 +) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
2216 +) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
2217 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
2218 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
2219 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
2223 +) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
2226 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
2228 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
2229 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
2230 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
2231 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
2232 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
2234 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
2235 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
2239 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
2242 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
2244 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
2245 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
2246 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
2247 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
2248 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
2249 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
2250 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
2251 by the Finished messages.
2254 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
2255 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
2257 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
2258 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
2259 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
2260 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
2261 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
2265 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
2266 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
2267 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
2268 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
2269 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
2270 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
2271 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
2272 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
2273 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
2277 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
2278 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
2279 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
2280 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
2282 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
2283 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
2284 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
2285 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
2286 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
2289 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
2290 been tested well enough.
2293 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
2294 it can return incorrect results.
2295 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
2296 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
2299 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
2300 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
2301 include zero length content when signing messages.
2304 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
2305 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
2308 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
2311 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
2315 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
2316 packages. The default package contains applications, application
2317 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
2318 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
2319 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
2320 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
2323 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
2324 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
2326 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
2327 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
2329 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
2330 random number < q in the DSA library.
2333 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
2334 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
2335 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
2336 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
2337 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
2338 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
2339 just makes things more complicated.)
2342 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
2346 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
2347 work better on such systems.
2348 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
2350 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
2351 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
2352 keyid to the certificates aux info.
2355 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
2356 if there was more than one signature.
2357 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
2359 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
2360 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
2361 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
2362 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
2365 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
2366 rather than always using the current time.
2369 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
2370 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
2371 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
2372 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
2373 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
2374 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
2376 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
2377 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
2379 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
2381 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
2382 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
2383 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
2384 the same hash value.
2386 As a result various functions (which were all internal
2387 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
2388 structure. This will break anything that messed round
2389 with X509_STORE internally.
2391 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
2392 exact match, rather than just subject name.
2394 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
2395 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
2396 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
2397 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
2398 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
2399 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
2400 entirely (maybe later...).
2402 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
2404 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
2405 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
2406 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
2407 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
2408 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
2409 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
2410 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
2411 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
2413 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
2414 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
2416 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
2417 to customise the verify behaviour.
2420 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
2421 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
2424 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
2425 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
2426 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
2427 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
2428 request is improperly encoded.
2431 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
2432 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
2435 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
2436 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
2438 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
2439 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
2443 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
2444 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
2445 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
2448 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
2449 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
2450 BIO/fp routines also added.
2453 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
2454 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
2456 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
2457 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
2458 demos/state_machine.
2461 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
2462 generation and verification.
2465 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
2466 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
2467 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
2468 encode and decode it manually.
2471 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
2473 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
2475 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
2476 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
2477 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
2478 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
2480 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
2481 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
2482 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
2483 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
2484 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
2487 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
2490 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
2491 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
2492 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
2494 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
2495 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
2496 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
2497 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
2498 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
2499 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
2500 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
2501 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
2503 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
2504 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
2506 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
2508 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
2509 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
2510 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
2514 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
2515 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
2516 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
2517 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
2521 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
2523 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
2526 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
2527 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
2528 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
2529 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
2530 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
2531 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
2532 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
2533 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
2534 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
2535 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
2536 short or long names are found.
2539 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
2540 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
2542 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
2543 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
2544 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
2545 version rollback attacks was not effective.
2547 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
2548 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
2549 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
2550 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
2553 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
2554 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
2555 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
2558 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
2559 these print out strings and name structures based on various
2560 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
2561 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
2562 to allow the various flags to be set.
2565 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
2566 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
2567 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
2568 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
2569 dates to be checked.
2572 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
2573 negative public key encodings) on by default,
2574 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
2577 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
2578 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
2579 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
2582 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
2583 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
2586 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
2587 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
2588 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
2589 are always statically linked for now, but there are
2590 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
2591 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
2594 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
2595 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
2599 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
2603 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
2604 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
2605 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
2606 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
2607 form signing output easier to verify.
2610 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
2613 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
2614 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
2615 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
2616 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
2617 are needed because all other string types have virtually
2618 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
2619 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
2620 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
2621 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
2622 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
2625 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
2627 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
2628 the syntax given in objects.README.
2629 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
2631 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
2634 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
2635 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
2636 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
2637 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
2638 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
2639 consistent name changes.
2642 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
2645 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
2646 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
2647 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
2648 environment variable, or the default random state file.
2651 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
2652 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
2653 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
2657 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
2658 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
2659 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
2660 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
2663 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
2664 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
2665 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
2666 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
2667 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
2668 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
2669 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
2670 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
2671 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
2672 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
2673 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
2676 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
2677 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
2678 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
2679 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
2680 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
2681 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
2682 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
2683 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
2684 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
2685 algorithm to openssl-dev.
2688 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
2689 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
2690 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
2691 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
2693 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
2694 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
2695 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
2696 omit any duplicate addresses.
2699 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
2700 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
2703 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
2704 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
2705 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
2706 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
2707 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
2710 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
2712 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
2713 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
2714 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
2715 Free => OPENSSL_free
2718 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
2719 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
2722 *) CygWin32 support.
2723 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
2725 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
2726 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
2727 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
2728 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
2729 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
2733 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
2734 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
2735 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
2736 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
2737 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
2738 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
2739 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
2742 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
2743 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
2744 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
2745 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
2746 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
2747 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
2748 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
2749 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
2750 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
2751 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
2752 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
2755 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
2756 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
2757 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
2758 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
2759 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
2761 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
2762 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
2763 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
2764 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
2765 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
2767 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
2770 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
2771 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
2772 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
2773 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
2775 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
2777 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
2780 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
2781 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
2782 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
2785 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
2786 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
2787 any installed hardware versions can.
2790 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
2791 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
2792 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
2796 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
2797 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
2798 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
2799 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
2800 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
2802 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
2803 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
2806 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
2807 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
2810 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
2811 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
2812 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
2816 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
2819 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
2820 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
2821 but no ssl client purpose.
2822 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
2824 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
2825 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
2826 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
2827 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
2828 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
2829 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
2830 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
2831 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
2832 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
2833 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
2834 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
2837 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
2838 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
2839 be obtained from the error queue.
2842 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
2843 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
2844 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
2845 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
2848 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
2851 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
2852 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
2853 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
2854 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
2855 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
2858 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
2859 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
2860 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
2861 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
2862 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
2865 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
2866 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
2867 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
2869 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
2871 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
2872 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
2873 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
2874 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
2875 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
2876 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
2877 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
2878 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
2879 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
2880 or "the configuration storage API"...
2882 The new configuration file reading functions are:
2884 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
2885 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
2887 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
2889 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
2891 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
2892 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
2893 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
2894 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
2895 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
2896 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
2897 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
2899 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
2900 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
2903 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
2904 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
2905 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
2906 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
2909 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
2910 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
2911 them in a portable way.
2912 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
2914 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
2916 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
2918 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
2919 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
2921 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
2922 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
2923 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
2926 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
2927 was larger than the MD block size.
2928 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
2930 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
2931 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
2932 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
2933 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
2937 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
2938 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
2939 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
2941 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
2943 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
2945 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
2946 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
2947 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
2948 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
2949 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
2950 Additional arguments are always ignored.
2952 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
2953 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
2955 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
2956 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
2959 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
2962 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
2963 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
2965 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
2966 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
2967 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
2968 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
2971 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
2972 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
2973 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
2974 does not suppress any output.
2977 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
2978 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
2979 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
2980 with all the associated security issues.
2982 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
2983 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
2984 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
2985 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
2986 use the value in the default purpose.
2989 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
2990 and fix a memory leak.
2993 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
2994 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
2995 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
2996 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
2999 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
3000 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
3001 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
3002 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
3005 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
3006 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
3007 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
3010 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
3011 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
3014 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
3015 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
3019 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
3020 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
3023 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
3024 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
3025 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
3028 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
3029 number generation fails.
3032 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
3035 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
3036 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
3038 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
3041 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
3042 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
3044 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
3045 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
3047 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
3049 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
3050 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
3053 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
3054 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
3056 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
3057 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
3060 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
3061 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
3062 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
3063 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
3064 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
3065 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
3067 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
3068 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
3069 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
3073 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
3074 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
3075 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
3076 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
3077 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
3078 counter, some don't.)
3079 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
3080 counters or duplicate objects.
3083 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
3084 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
3087 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
3088 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
3089 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
3091 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
3092 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
3093 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
3097 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
3098 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
3101 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
3102 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
3103 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
3107 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
3108 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
3109 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
3112 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
3113 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
3114 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
3115 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
3116 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
3117 should work without changes.
3120 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
3121 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
3122 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
3123 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
3124 must be defined. E.g.,
3125 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
3126 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
3127 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
3128 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
3130 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
3134 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
3135 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
3136 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
3139 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
3140 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
3141 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
3142 request header lines. Some software needs this.
3145 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
3146 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
3147 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
3148 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
3149 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
3150 is prompted for as usual.
3153 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
3154 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
3155 autodetect the card and use it if present.
3156 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
3158 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
3159 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
3160 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
3161 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
3164 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
3167 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
3171 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
3174 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
3177 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
3181 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
3184 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
3187 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
3188 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
3191 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
3192 options to produce them.
3195 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
3196 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
3199 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
3203 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
3204 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
3205 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
3206 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
3207 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
3208 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
3209 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
3212 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
3215 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
3216 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
3217 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
3220 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
3221 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
3223 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
3224 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
3227 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
3228 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
3229 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
3233 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
3234 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
3236 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
3237 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
3238 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
3239 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
3240 generation becomes much faster.
3242 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
3243 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
3244 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
3245 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
3246 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
3247 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
3248 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
3249 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
3250 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
3251 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
3254 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
3255 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
3256 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
3257 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
3258 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
3259 trial division stage.
3262 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
3266 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
3269 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
3272 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
3273 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
3274 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
3278 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
3279 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
3280 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
3283 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
3284 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
3285 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
3286 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
3288 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
3289 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
3292 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
3295 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
3296 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
3297 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
3298 Rabin-Miller iterations.
3301 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
3302 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
3303 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
3306 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
3307 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
3308 (instead of parameters) in future.
3311 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
3312 when a new cipher list is set.
3315 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
3316 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
3319 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
3320 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
3321 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
3323 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
3324 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
3325 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
3326 an error is flagged.
3328 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
3329 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
3330 the readability was also increased :-)
3331 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
3333 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
3334 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
3335 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
3336 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
3340 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
3341 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
3344 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
3345 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
3346 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
3347 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
3350 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
3351 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
3352 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
3353 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
3354 because they handle more complex structures.)
3357 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
3358 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
3359 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
3360 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
3362 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
3363 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
3364 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
3365 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
3366 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
3367 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
3368 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
3371 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
3372 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
3373 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
3374 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
3375 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
3378 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
3381 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
3382 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
3383 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
3384 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
3385 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
3388 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
3392 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
3393 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
3394 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
3395 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
3398 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
3401 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
3402 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
3403 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
3404 international characters are used.
3406 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
3407 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
3408 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
3412 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
3413 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
3414 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
3417 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
3418 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
3419 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
3420 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
3421 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
3422 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
3424 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
3425 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
3426 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
3427 be handled by the string table functions.
3429 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
3430 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
3431 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
3432 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
3433 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
3437 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
3438 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
3439 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
3440 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
3441 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
3443 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
3444 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
3445 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
3446 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
3449 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
3450 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
3451 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
3452 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
3453 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
3457 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
3458 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
3459 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
3460 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
3461 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
3462 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
3463 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
3464 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
3466 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
3467 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
3468 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
3471 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
3472 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
3473 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
3474 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
3475 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
3476 support to pkcs8 application.
3479 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
3480 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
3481 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
3482 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
3483 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
3484 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
3487 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
3488 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
3489 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
3490 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
3491 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
3495 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
3496 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
3497 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
3498 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
3502 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
3503 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
3504 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
3505 and any application specific purposes.
3507 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
3508 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
3509 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
3510 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
3511 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
3512 if the certificate is self signed.
3515 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
3516 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
3519 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
3520 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
3521 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
3522 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
3525 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
3526 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
3527 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
3528 Update documentation.
3531 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
3532 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
3533 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
3534 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
3535 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
3538 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS

3542 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
3543 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
3544 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
3545 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
3546 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
3547 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
3548 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
3549 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
3550 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
3551 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
3553 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
3555 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3556 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
3557 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
3558 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
3559 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
3561 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
3562 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
3563 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
3564 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
3565 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
3566 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
3567 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
3568 request additional information:
3569 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
3570 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
3572 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
3573 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
3574 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
3577 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
3578 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
3581 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
3584 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
3585 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3587 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
3588 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
3589 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
3593 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
3594 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
3595 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
3597 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
3598 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
3599 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
3600 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
3601 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
3602 included in OpenSSL.
3605 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
3606 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
3607 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
3608 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
3609 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
3610 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
3613 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
3617 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
3618 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
3619 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
3620 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
3621 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
3625 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
3629 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
3630 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
3631 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
3632 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
3633 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
3634 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
3635 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
3636 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
3637 be maintained manually.
3639 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
3640 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
3641 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
3642 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
3643 work because people forget to call this function]
3644 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
3645 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
3646 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
3649 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
3650 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
3651 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
3652 should be discouraged from doing it.
3655 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
3656 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
3657 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
3658 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
3659 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
3660 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
3663 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
3664 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
3665 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
3667 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
3668 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
3669 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
3671 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
3672 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
3673 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
3674 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
3675 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
3676 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
3678 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
3679 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
3680 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
3682 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
3683 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
3686 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
3687 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
3688 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
3689 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
3692 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
3695 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
3696 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
3697 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
3698 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
3699 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
3700 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
3701 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
3702 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
3703 keys so we should be OK.
3705 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
3706 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
3707 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
3708 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
3709 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
3710 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
3711 stay in the name of compatibility.
3713 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
3714 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
3715 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
3717 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
3718 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
3719 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
3720 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
3721 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
3722 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
3726 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
3727 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
3728 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
3729 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
3730 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
3731 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
3732 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
3733 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
3734 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
3735 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
3736 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
3737 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
3738 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
3741 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
3744 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
3745 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
3746 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
3747 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
3748 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
3749 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
3750 single self signed certificate. This means that:
3751 openssl verify ss.pem
3752 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
3753 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
3757 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
3758 (and add it to external session representation).
3759 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
3760 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
3761 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
3762 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
3763 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
3764 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
3766 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
3768 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
3769 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
3770 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
3771 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
3773 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
3774 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
3775 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
3778 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
3779 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
3780 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
3784 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
3785 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
3786 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
3788 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
3789 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
3790 certificate auxiliary information.
3793 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
3797 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
3798 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
3799 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
3800 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
3801 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
3802 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
3803 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
3806 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
3807 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
3810 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
3811 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
3812 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
3813 manpages and fix a few bugs.
3816 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
3819 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
3820 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
3823 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
3824 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
3825 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
3826 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
3827 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
3828 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
3829 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
3830 using the new 'x509' options.
3832 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
3833 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
3834 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
3835 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
3839 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
3840 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
3841 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
3842 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
3843 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
3846 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
3847 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
3848 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
3849 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
3850 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
3851 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
3852 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
3853 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
3854 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
3855 the key length and effective key length are equal.
3858 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
3859 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
3860 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
3861 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
3862 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
3863 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
3864 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
3867 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
3868 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
3869 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
3870 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
3871 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
3872 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
3873 openssl.cnf for more info.
3876 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
3877 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
3878 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
3879 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
3880 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
3881 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
3882 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
3883 md should be large enough anyway.
3886 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
3887 for handling the random seed file.
3889 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
3891 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
3894 x509 (when signing).
3895 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
3896 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
3897 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
3899 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
3900 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
3901 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
3902 that support '-rand'.
3905 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
3906 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
3909 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
3910 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
3913 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
3914 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
3915 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
3916 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
3920 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
3921 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
3922 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
3923 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
3926 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
3927 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
3928 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
3929 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
3930 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
3931 print out all the purposes.
3934 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
3938 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
3939 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
3940 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
3941 single function call.
3944 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
3945 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
3948 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
3949 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
3950 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
3953 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
3954 when producing the local key id.
3955 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
3957 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
3958 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
3959 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
3963 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
3964 a public key to be input or output. For example:
3965 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
3966 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
3969 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
3970 in the message. This was handled by allowing
3971 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
3972 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
3974 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
3975 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
3976 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
3977 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
3979 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
3980 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
3981 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
3982 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
3983 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
3984 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
3985 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
3986 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
3987 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
3988 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
3989 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
3990 trivial: move one line.
3991 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
3993 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
3994 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
3995 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
3996 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
3997 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
3998 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
3999 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
4000 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
4001 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
4002 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
4003 with an event loop for example.
4006 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
4007 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
4008 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
4009 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
4010 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
4011 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
4012 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
4013 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
4014 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
4017 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
4018 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
4019 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
4020 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
4021 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
4022 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
4025 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
4026 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
4027 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
4028 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
4030 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
4031 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
4032 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
4033 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
4037 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
4038 (still largely untested)
4041 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
4042 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
4045 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
4046 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
4049 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
4050 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
4051 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
4054 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
4055 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
4056 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
4057 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
4058 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
4061 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
4064 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
4065 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
4066 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
4067 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
4068 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
4072 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
4073 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
4076 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
4079 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
4080 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
4081 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
4082 are otherwise ignored at present.
4085 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
4086 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
4087 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
4088 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
4089 copied until the next read.
4092 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
4093 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
4094 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
4097 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
4098 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
4099 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
4100 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
4101 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
4102 associated functions.
4105 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
4106 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
4107 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
4108 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
4109 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
4110 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
4111 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
4112 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
4113 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
4117 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
4118 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
4119 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
4120 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
4123 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
4124 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
4125 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
4126 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
4127 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
4131 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
4132 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
4136 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
4137 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
4138 extensions to be obtained and added.
4141 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
4142 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
4145 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
4147 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4148 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4150 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
4151 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
4153 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
4157 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
4158 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
4159 DH parameters contain its length).
4161 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
4162 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
4163 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
4164 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
4165 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
4166 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
4167 utter importance to use
4168 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4170 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
4171 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
4172 attacks may become possible!
4175 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
4178 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
4179 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
4182 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
4183 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
4184 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
4188 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
4189 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
4190 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
4191 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
4192 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
4193 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
4194 private key operations.
4197 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
4200 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
4201 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
4203 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
4204 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
4205 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
4206 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
4207 the password callback is called.
4208 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
4210 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
4212 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
4213 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
4214 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
4215 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
4216 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
4217 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
4220 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
4221 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
4222 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
4223 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
4224 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
4225 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
4228 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
4231 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
4232 delete an unused file.
4235 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
4236 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
4237 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
4238 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
4241 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
4242 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
4243 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
4247 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
4248 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
4249 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
4251 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
4252 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
4253 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
4254 comparison" warnings.
4255 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
4258 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
4259 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
4260 derived keys are printed to stderr.
4263 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
4264 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
4266 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
4267 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
4269 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
4270 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
4271 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
4273 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
4274 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
4275 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
4276 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
4277 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
4279 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
4281 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
4282 The interface is as follows:
4283 Applications can use
4284 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
4285 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
4286 "off" is now the default.
4287 The library internally uses
4288 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
4289 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
4290 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
4292 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
4293 even the default) are now avoided.
4295 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
4296 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
4297 than just having a counter.
4299 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
4301 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
4305 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
4306 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
4307 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
4308 Initial "mode" flags are:
4310 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
4311 a single record has been written.
4312 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
4313 retries use the same buffer location.
4314 (But all of the contents must be
4318 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
4321 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
4322 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
4324 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
4325 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
4326 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
4329 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
4330 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
4332 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
4334 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
4335 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
4336 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
4337 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
4339 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
4340 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
4342 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
4343 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
4344 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
4345 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
4346 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
4347 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
4350 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
4351 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
4352 necessary function names.
4355 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
4356 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
4357 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
4358 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
4361 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
4362 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
4363 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
4366 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
4367 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
4368 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
4369 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
4371 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
4375 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
4376 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
4377 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
4380 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
4381 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
4385 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
4386 for the encoded length.
4387 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
4389 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
4392 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
4393 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
4394 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
4395 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
4398 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
4399 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
4400 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4402 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
4403 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
4404 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
4408 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
4409 to use the new extension code.
4412 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
4413 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
4414 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
4418 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
4419 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
4420 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
4424 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
4427 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
4428 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
4429 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
4432 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
4433 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
4434 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
4435 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
4438 *) DES library cleanups.
4441 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
4442 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
4443 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
4444 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
4445 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
4449 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
4450 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
4453 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
4454 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
4455 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
4456 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
4457 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
4458 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
4459 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
4460 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
4461 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
4464 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
4465 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
4466 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
4467 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
4468 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
4469 value doesn't matter.
4472 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
4476 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
4477 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
4478 "linux-sparc" configuration.
4479 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
4481 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
4484 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
4485 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
4486 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4488 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
4489 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
4491 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
4494 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
4497 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
4500 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
4504 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
4506 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
4508 *) Updated some demos.
4509 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
4511 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
4514 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
4517 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
4520 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
4521 instead of using a fixed path.
4524 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
4527 *) Improvements for VMS support.
4531 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
4533 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
4534 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
4535 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4537 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
4538 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
4539 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
4540 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
4541 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
4542 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
4543 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
4544 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
4545 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
4546 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
4549 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
4550 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
4553 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
4554 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
4555 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
4556 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
4557 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
4559 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
4562 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
4563 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
4564 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
4567 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
4570 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
4571 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
4572 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
4573 key elements as negative integers.
4576 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
4577 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4580 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
4582 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
4583 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
4584 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
4587 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
4588 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
4589 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
4590 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
4591 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
4594 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
4597 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
4598 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
4599 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
4600 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4602 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
4603 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
4604 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
4606 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
4607 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
4608 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
4609 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
4610 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
4611 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
4612 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
4613 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
4614 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
4616 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
4617 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
4618 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
4619 does not influence s as it used to.
4621 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
4622 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
4623 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
4624 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
4625 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
4626 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
4629 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
4630 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
4631 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
4635 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
4636 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
4637 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
4641 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
4642 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
4643 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
4647 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
4648 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
4651 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
4652 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
4657 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
4658 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4660 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
4661 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4663 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
4666 *) Update HPUX configuration.
4669 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
4670 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4672 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
4673 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
4674 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
4678 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
4679 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
4680 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
4681 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
4682 now it really counts the depth.
4685 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
4686 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
4687 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
4688 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
4689 didn't match the private key).
4691 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
4692 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
4693 connection using the SSL_CTX).
4696 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
4699 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
4703 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
4704 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
4705 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
4708 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
4711 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
4712 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
4713 such as /usr/local/bin.
4716 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
4717 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4719 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
4722 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
4723 extension adding in x509 utility.
4726 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
4729 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
4733 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
4736 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
4737 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
4738 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
4739 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
4740 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
4741 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
4742 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
4743 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
4744 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
4745 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
4748 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
4751 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
4752 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
4755 *) Fix some race conditions.
4758 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
4759 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
4762 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
4765 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
4766 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
4767 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
4768 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
4770 *) Fix lots of warnings.
4771 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4773 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
4774 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
4775 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
4777 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
4778 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4780 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
4783 *) Fix typos in error codes.
4784 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
4786 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
4789 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
4790 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
4792 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
4793 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
4796 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
4797 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
4800 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
4801 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
4804 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
4805 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
4808 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
4809 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
4812 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
4813 support typesafe stack.
4816 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
4817 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
4819 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
4820 old X509V3 handling code.
4823 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
4826 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
4829 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
4832 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
4833 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
4835 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
4836 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
4837 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
4838 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
4839 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
4842 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
4843 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
4844 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
4845 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
4846 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
4848 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
4849 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
4850 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
4851 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4853 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
4854 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
4855 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
4856 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
4858 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
4859 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
4860 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
4861 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
4862 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
4863 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
4866 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
4867 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
4870 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
4871 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
4874 *) Tweaks to Configure
4875 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
4877 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
4881 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
4884 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
4885 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
4888 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
4889 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
4890 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
4893 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
4896 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
4897 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
4900 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
4901 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
4902 to library startup routines.
4905 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
4906 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
4907 codes along the way.
4910 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
4911 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
4912 objects to objects.h
4915 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
4916 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
4919 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
4920 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
4922 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
4923 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
4924 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
4926 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
4927 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
4928 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4930 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
4931 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
4932 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
4935 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
4937 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
4938 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
4941 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
4942 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
4943 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
4944 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
4945 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
4947 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
4948 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
4949 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
4951 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4953 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
4955 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
4957 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
4958 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
4960 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
4961 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
4962 if someone would make that last step automatic.
4963 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
4965 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
4968 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
4969 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
4970 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
4971 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
4974 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
4975 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
4976 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
4979 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
4980 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
4981 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
4982 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
4983 installed as `perl').
4984 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4986 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
4987 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
4989 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
4990 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
4991 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
4992 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
4993 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
4996 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
4999 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
5000 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
5001 is horrible: I feel ill....
5004 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
5005 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
5006 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
5007 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
5010 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
5011 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5013 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
5014 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
5015 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
5016 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5018 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
5019 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
5020 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
5021 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
5022 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
5023 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
5025 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5027 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
5028 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5030 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
5031 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
5033 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
5036 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
5037 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
5041 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
5042 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
5043 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
5044 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
5045 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
5046 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
5047 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
5048 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
5049 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
5050 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
5051 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5053 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
5056 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
5057 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
5058 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
5059 for linking it into DSOs.
5060 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5062 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
5066 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
5067 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
5068 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
5069 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
5070 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
5071 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5073 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
5074 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
5075 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
5076 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
5077 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
5078 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
5079 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5081 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
5082 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
5083 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
5087 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
5088 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
5089 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
5090 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
5093 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
5094 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
5095 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
5096 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
5097 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
5101 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
5102 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
5103 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
5104 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
5105 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5107 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
5108 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
5109 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5111 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
5112 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
5114 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
5115 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
5116 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
5117 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
5118 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
5121 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
5122 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
5123 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
5124 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
5125 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
5126 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
5127 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
5130 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
5132 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
5133 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
5136 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
5137 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
5139 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
5140 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
5143 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
5144 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
5145 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
5146 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
5147 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
5149 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
5150 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
5151 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
5152 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
5153 no way to reconfigure them.
5154 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
5155 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
5156 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
5157 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
5158 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
5159 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5161 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
5162 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
5163 recognized by the users.
5164 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5166 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
5167 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
5168 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
5169 already masked variable.
5170 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5172 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
5173 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5175 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
5176 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
5177 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
5178 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
5180 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
5181 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
5182 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5184 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
5185 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
5186 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
5187 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
5188 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
5189 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
5190 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
5191 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
5193 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5195 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
5196 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
5197 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5199 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
5200 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
5204 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
5205 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
5207 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
5208 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
5209 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
5210 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
5213 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
5216 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
5217 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5219 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
5222 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
5223 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
5226 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
5227 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
5230 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
5231 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
5232 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
5233 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
5234 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
5235 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
5236 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
5239 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
5240 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5242 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
5243 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
5244 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
5245 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
5246 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5248 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
5249 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
5250 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
5253 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
5254 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
5258 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
5259 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
5260 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5262 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
5263 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
5264 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
5268 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
5269 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
5270 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
5271 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
5274 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
5275 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
5276 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
5277 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
5280 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
5281 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
5282 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
5283 so it wasn't spotted.
5284 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
5286 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
5287 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
5288 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
5289 vectors if you have them.
5292 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
5293 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
5296 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
5297 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
5298 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
5299 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
5301 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
5302 it will update them.
5305 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
5306 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
5307 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
5308 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
5309 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
5310 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
5311 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
5312 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5314 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
5315 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
5316 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
5317 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
5318 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
5319 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
5320 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
5321 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
5322 the crypto/md/ stuff).
5323 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5325 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
5326 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
5327 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
5328 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
5329 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
5332 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
5336 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
5337 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5339 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
5340 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
5342 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
5343 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
5346 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
5347 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
5349 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
5350 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
5352 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
5355 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
5359 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
5360 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
5361 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
5362 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
5364 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5367 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
5370 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
5373 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
5374 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
5377 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
5378 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
5382 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
5383 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
5386 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
5387 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
5388 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
5391 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
5392 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
5393 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
5394 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
5395 properly to be processed.
5398 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
5399 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
5400 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
5403 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
5404 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
5406 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
5407 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
5408 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
5409 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
5410 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
5411 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
5412 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
5413 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
5414 or delete all the .err files.
5417 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
5418 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
5419 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
5420 to regenerate it if needed.
5421 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
5422 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
5424 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
5425 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5427 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
5428 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
5429 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
5430 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
5431 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
5434 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
5435 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5437 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
5438 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5440 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
5441 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
5442 error, but didn't set one).
5443 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5445 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
5448 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
5449 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
5452 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
5453 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
5455 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
5456 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
5457 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
5458 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
5459 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
5460 OID is not part of the table.
5463 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
5464 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
5467 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
5470 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
5471 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
5475 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
5476 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
5478 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
5480 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5482 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
5483 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5485 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
5486 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
5488 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
5489 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
5491 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
5492 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
5495 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
5496 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
5499 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
5500 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5502 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
5503 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5505 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
5506 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5508 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
5509 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5511 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
5512 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
5513 unused in the certificate verification process.
5514 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5516 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
5517 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
5520 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
5521 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
5522 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
5524 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
5525 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
5526 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
5527 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
5528 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
5530 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
5531 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
5534 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
5537 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
5540 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
5541 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
5543 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
5546 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
5549 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
5552 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
5553 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
5554 other error libraries.
5557 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
5560 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
5561 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
5565 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
5566 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
5567 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
5568 the new set of documenation files.
5569 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5571 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
5572 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
5573 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
5574 number of arguments.
5575 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
5577 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
5580 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
5581 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
5582 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
5584 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
5587 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
5591 unixware-2.0-pentium
5595 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
5596 before they are needed.
5599 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
5603 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
5605 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
5606 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
5607 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5609 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
5612 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
5613 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
5614 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5616 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
5617 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
5618 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
5620 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
5621 when "ssleay" is still not found.
5622 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5624 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
5625 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
5627 *) Updated the README file.
5628 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5630 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
5631 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
5632 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5634 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
5635 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
5636 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5638 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
5639 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
5640 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
5641 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
5642 o removed obsolete TODO file
5643 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
5644 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5646 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
5647 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
5648 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

5651 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
5652 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
5654 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
5657 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
5658 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
5659 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
5661 [The OpenSSL Project]
5664 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
5666 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
5669 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
5672 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
5673 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
5676 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
5677 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
5681 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
5683 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
5685 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
5688 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
5691 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
5694 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
5697 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
5700 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
5703 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
5706 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
5709 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
5712 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
5715 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
5718 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
5721 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
5724 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
5727 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
5730 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
5733 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
5736 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
5737 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
5738 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
5741 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
5742 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
5745 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
5748 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
5751 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
5752 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
5755 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
5758 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
5761 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
5762 bytes sent in the client random.
