5 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) Add an "external" session cache for debugging purposes to s_server. This
8 should help trace issues which normally are only apparent in deployed
12 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
13 a few changes are required:
15 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
17 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
18 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
19 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
22 *) Experiemental password based recipient info support for CMS library:
26 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
27 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
28 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
32 *) Extensive audit of libcrypto with DEBUG_UNUSED. Fix many cases where
33 return value is ignored. NB. The functions RAND_add(), RAND_seed(),
34 BIO_set_cipher() and some obscure PEM functions were changed so they
35 can now return an error. The RAND changes required a change to the
36 RAND_METHOD structure.
39 *) New macro __owur for "OpenSSL Warn Unused Result". This makes use of
40 a gcc attribute to warn if the result of a function is ignored. This
41 is enable if DEBUG_UNUSED is set. Add to several functions in evp.h
42 whose return value is often ignored.
45 Changes between 0.9.8m (?) and 1.0.0 [xx XXX xxxx]
47 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
48 change when encrypting or decrypting.
51 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
52 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
55 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
56 some responders need this.
59 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
61 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
63 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
64 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
65 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
68 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
71 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
72 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
73 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
74 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
75 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
76 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
77 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
78 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
81 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
82 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
83 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
84 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
86 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
87 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
89 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
93 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
94 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
95 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
96 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
97 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
98 attempting to work them out.
101 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
102 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
103 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
104 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
107 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
108 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
109 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
110 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
111 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
114 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
115 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
122 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
124 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
128 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
129 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
131 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
132 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
134 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
135 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
136 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
137 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
138 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
141 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
142 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
143 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
146 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
147 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
150 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
151 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
153 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
154 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
157 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
160 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
161 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
162 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
166 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
167 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
168 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
169 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
170 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
171 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
174 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
175 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
177 This work was sponsored by Google.
180 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
181 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
182 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
183 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
184 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
185 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
186 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
189 This work was sponsored by Google.
192 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
194 This work was sponsored by Google.
197 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
198 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
199 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
200 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
202 This work was sponsored by Google.
205 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
206 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
207 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
208 CRL functionality in future.
210 This work was sponsored by Google.
213 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
215 This work was sponsored by Google.
218 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
219 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
221 This work was sponsored by Google.
224 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
225 and URI types are currently supported.
227 This work was sponsored by Google.
230 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
231 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
232 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
233 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
234 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
235 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
236 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
237 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
239 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
240 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
241 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
243 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
244 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
245 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
246 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
248 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
249 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
250 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
251 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
252 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
253 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
254 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
255 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
257 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
259 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
260 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
261 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
263 This work was sponsored by Google.
266 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
269 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
270 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
271 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
274 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
275 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
278 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
279 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
282 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
283 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
284 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
285 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
286 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
287 content types and variants.
290 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
293 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
294 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
295 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
296 files from the associated perl scripts.
299 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
300 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
301 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
303 *) s390x assembler pack.
306 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
310 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
311 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
312 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
313 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
314 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
315 to use. For example, specify an option
317 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
319 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
320 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
321 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
322 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
323 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
324 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
326 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
327 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
328 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
329 return non-zero for success.
331 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
334 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
335 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
339 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
342 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
343 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
344 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
345 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
346 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
347 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
348 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
349 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
350 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
352 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
353 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
354 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
355 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
356 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
357 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
359 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
360 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
361 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
362 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
363 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
364 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
368 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
371 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
373 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
374 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
375 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
378 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
379 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
382 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
383 protection in servers so again support should be possible
384 with no application modification.
386 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
387 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
389 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
390 or server extensions to be examined.
392 This work was sponsored by Google.
395 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
396 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
397 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
399 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
400 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
402 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
404 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
405 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
406 to output in BER and PEM format.
409 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
410 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
411 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
412 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
413 -macopt options to dgst utility.
416 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
417 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
418 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
422 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
423 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
424 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
425 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
426 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
427 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
428 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
429 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
432 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
433 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
434 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
435 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
437 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
438 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
439 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
443 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
444 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
445 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
446 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
447 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
448 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
449 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
450 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
451 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
453 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
454 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
455 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
456 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
457 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
458 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
459 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
460 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
461 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
462 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
463 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
466 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
467 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
468 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
470 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
471 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
475 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
476 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
477 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
480 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
481 it yet and it is largely untested.
484 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
487 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
488 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
489 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
492 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
495 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
496 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
497 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
498 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
501 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
502 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
503 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
504 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
505 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
508 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
509 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
512 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
513 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
514 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
515 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
518 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
519 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
520 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
521 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
524 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
525 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
528 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
529 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
530 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
531 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
534 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
535 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
536 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
539 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
543 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
544 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
547 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
548 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
549 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
553 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
554 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
555 to free up any added signature OIDs.
558 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
559 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
560 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
561 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
564 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
565 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
566 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
567 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
568 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
569 the array representation useful in a more general context.
572 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
573 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
574 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
575 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
576 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
578 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
579 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
580 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
581 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
582 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
585 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
586 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
587 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
588 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
590 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
591 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
592 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
593 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
594 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
600 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
601 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
605 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
606 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
609 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
610 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
613 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
614 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
615 functional reference processing.
618 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
619 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
623 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
624 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
625 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
628 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
629 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
630 application to support multiple signers.
633 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
637 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
638 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
639 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
640 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
641 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
644 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
648 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
649 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
650 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
651 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
655 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
656 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
657 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
658 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
659 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
660 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
661 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
662 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
665 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
666 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
667 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
668 between digests and public key types.
671 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
672 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
673 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
674 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
677 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
678 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
682 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
685 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
689 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
690 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
691 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
692 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
697 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
699 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
701 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
703 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
704 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
705 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
706 functionality for RSA.
709 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
710 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
711 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
714 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
715 key API, doesn't do much yet.
718 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
719 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
720 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
723 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
724 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
727 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
728 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
731 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
732 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
736 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
737 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
738 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
742 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
743 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
744 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
745 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
746 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
747 of public and private key structures.
750 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
751 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
754 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
755 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
756 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
759 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
763 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
764 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
766 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
768 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
770 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
771 and response verification functionality.
772 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
774 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
775 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
776 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
777 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
778 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
779 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
780 server_name extension.
782 New functions (subject to change):
785 SSL_get_servername_type()
788 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
790 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
791 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
792 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
793 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
794 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
796 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
798 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
799 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
800 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
801 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
802 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
803 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
806 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
808 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
811 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
812 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
813 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
814 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
815 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
818 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
819 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
823 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
824 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
825 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
826 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
829 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
830 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
831 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
832 using the maximum available value.
835 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
836 in addition to the text details.
839 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
840 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
841 handle several customised structures at all.
844 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
845 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
846 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
849 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
852 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
853 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
854 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
857 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
858 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
859 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
862 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
863 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
867 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
870 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
873 Changes between 0.9.8l (?) and 0.9.8m (?) [xx XXX xxxx]
875 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
876 connect (but not renegotiate) with servers which do not support RI.
877 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
880 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
883 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
884 a no_renegotiation alert as required by draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation.
885 Some renegotiating TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully
886 when they receive the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled
887 this alert and would hang waiting for a server hello which it will never
888 receive. Now we treat a received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal
889 error. This is because applications requesting a renegotiation might well
890 expect it to succeed and would have no code in place to handle the server
891 denying it so the only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
894 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
895 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
896 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
899 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
900 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
903 *) Implement draft-ietf-tls-renegotiation. Re-enable
904 renegotiation but require the extension as needed. Unfortunately,
905 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION turns out to be a
906 bad idea. It has been replaced by
907 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
908 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
909 know what you are doing.
910 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
912 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
913 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
914 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
915 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
916 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
917 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
921 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
922 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
923 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
925 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
927 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
928 warnings in other configurations.
931 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
932 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
933 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
935 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
937 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
938 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
939 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
941 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
942 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
943 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
944 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
947 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
951 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
952 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
954 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
956 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
957 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
958 other than a simple chain.
959 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
961 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
962 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
963 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
964 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
967 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
968 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
969 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
970 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
971 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
972 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
973 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
974 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
975 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
977 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
978 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
979 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
980 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
981 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
982 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
984 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
986 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
987 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
990 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
991 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
994 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
996 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
998 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
999 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
1000 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
1001 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
1002 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
1006 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
1008 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
1009 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
1010 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
1011 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
1013 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
1014 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
1015 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
1016 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1018 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
1019 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
1020 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
1023 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
1024 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
1028 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
1029 to handle some structures.
1032 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
1034 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
1036 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
1039 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
1042 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
1045 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
1046 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
1050 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
1052 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
1054 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
1056 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
1059 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
1060 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
1061 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
1062 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
1064 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
1065 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
1067 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
1068 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
1071 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
1072 s_client and s_server.
1075 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
1076 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1078 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
1079 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
1081 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
1082 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
1083 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
1084 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
1085 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
1088 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
1090 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
1091 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
1094 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
1095 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
1098 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
1099 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
1100 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
1101 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
1103 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
1104 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
1106 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
1108 *) Various precautionary measures:
1110 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
1112 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
1113 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
1114 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
1116 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
1117 outside the expected range.
1119 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
1122 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
1124 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
1125 the load fails. Useful for distros.
1126 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
1128 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
1131 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
1134 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
1136 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1139 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
1140 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
1141 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
1143 This work was sponsored by Logica.
1146 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
1147 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
1148 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
1152 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
1154 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
1155 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
1156 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
1157 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
1159 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
1160 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
1163 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
1165 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
1166 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
1167 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
1169 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
1171 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
1172 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
1173 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
1174 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
1177 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
1178 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
1179 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
1180 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
1181 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
1182 invalid read after the end of 'db').
1183 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
1185 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
1187 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
1188 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
1189 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
1190 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
1191 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
1193 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
1194 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
1196 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
1197 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
1198 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
1199 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
1200 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
1202 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
1204 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
1205 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
1206 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
1207 sets may exist with different names.
1210 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
1211 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
1212 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
1213 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
1214 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
1215 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
1216 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
1217 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
1218 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
1220 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
1222 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
1223 implemention in the following ways:
1225 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
1228 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
1229 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
1230 ignored for embedded content.
1232 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
1233 with the enable-cms configuration option.
1236 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
1237 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
1238 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
1239 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
1241 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
1242 uncompresses any data passed through it.
1245 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
1246 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
1249 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
1250 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
1251 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
1252 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
1253 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
1254 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
1258 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
1259 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
1260 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1264 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
1265 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
1266 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
1267 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
1268 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
1269 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
1270 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
1271 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
1273 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
1274 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
1275 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
1276 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
1277 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
1278 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
1279 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
1281 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
1282 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
1283 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
1284 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
1285 to s_client and s_server.
1288 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
1290 *) Fix various bugs:
1291 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
1292 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
1293 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
1294 + Fix ia64 assembler code
1295 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
1297 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
1299 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
1300 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
1301 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
1302 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
1303 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
1304 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
1305 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
1306 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
1309 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
1310 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
1311 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
1314 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1315 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1316 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1319 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1320 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1323 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1324 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1325 with no application modification.
1327 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1328 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1330 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1331 or server extensions to be examined.
1333 This work was sponsored by Google.
1336 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1337 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1338 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1339 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1340 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1341 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1342 server_name extension.
1344 New functions (subject to change):
1346 SSL_get_servername()
1347 SSL_get_servername_type()
1350 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1352 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1353 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1354 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1355 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1356 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1358 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1360 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1361 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1362 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1363 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1364 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1365 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1368 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
1370 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
1373 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
1376 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
1377 (which previously caused an internal error).
1380 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
1383 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
1384 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
1386 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
1387 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
1388 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
1390 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
1391 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
1392 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
1393 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
1395 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1396 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1397 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
1398 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
1400 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
1401 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
1402 information. For detailed background information, see
1403 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
1404 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
1405 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
1406 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
1407 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
1408 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
1409 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
1410 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
1411 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
1412 remove a conditional branch.
1414 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
1415 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
1416 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
1417 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
1418 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
1419 remains as a deprecated alias.
1421 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
1422 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
1423 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
1424 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
1426 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
1427 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
1428 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
1429 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
1430 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
1431 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
1432 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
1433 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
1435 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
1437 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
1438 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
1439 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
1440 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
1441 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
1442 with applications using a single external cache for quite
1443 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
1444 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
1445 in a different context.
1448 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
1449 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
1450 authentication-only ciphersuites.
1453 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
1454 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
1455 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
1457 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
1459 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
1460 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
1461 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
1462 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
1463 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
1466 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
1467 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
1468 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
1469 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
1470 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
1471 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
1474 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
1475 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
1476 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
1477 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
1478 message has informed the client about his choice.)
1481 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
1482 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
1484 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
1485 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
1486 Improve header file function name parsing.
1489 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
1490 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
1493 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
1495 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
1496 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
1497 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
1499 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
1500 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
1502 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
1503 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1505 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
1506 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
1507 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
1509 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
1510 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
1511 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
1512 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
1513 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
1514 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
1515 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
1516 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
1517 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
1519 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
1520 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
1521 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
1522 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
1523 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
1525 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
1526 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
1527 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
1528 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
1529 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
1530 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
1531 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
1532 multiple values to extend the available space.
1536 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
1538 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
1539 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
1541 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
1544 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
1545 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
1546 undesirable limitations.
1547 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
1549 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
1550 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
1551 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
1552 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
1553 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
1554 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
1555 to avoid potential handshake problems.
1558 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
1560 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
1561 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
1562 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
1564 The latter two were purportedly from
1565 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
1568 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
1569 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
1570 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
1573 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
1574 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
1577 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
1578 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
1579 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
1580 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
1582 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
1583 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
1584 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
1587 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
1588 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
1589 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
1590 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
1591 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
1592 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
1595 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
1597 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
1598 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
1601 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
1602 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
1604 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1605 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
1606 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
1607 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
1610 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
1611 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
1614 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
1615 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
1616 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
1617 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
1618 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
1619 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
1620 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
1624 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
1625 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
1626 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
1627 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
1630 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
1631 under VC++ build system.
1634 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
1635 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
1638 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
1640 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
1641 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
1642 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
1643 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
1644 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
1646 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
1647 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
1648 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
1650 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
1653 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
1654 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1657 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
1658 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
1660 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
1663 *) Extended Windows CE support.
1664 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
1666 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
1667 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
1670 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
1671 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
1675 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
1677 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
1680 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
1683 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
1684 key into the same file any more.
1687 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
1690 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
1691 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
1693 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
1694 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
1697 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
1698 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
1699 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
1700 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
1701 this only applies when building 'shared'.
1702 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
1704 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
1705 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
1706 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
1709 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
1710 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
1711 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
1712 - add new function for parameter creation
1713 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
1714 BN_BLINDING parameters
1715 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
1716 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
1717 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
1721 *) Add support for DTLS.
1722 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
1724 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
1725 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
1728 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
1729 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
1732 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
1733 the apps/openssl applications.
1736 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
1737 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
1738 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
1741 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
1742 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
1744 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
1745 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
1747 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
1748 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
1749 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
1750 avoid this algorithm.)
1754 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
1755 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
1756 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
1759 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
1760 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
1763 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
1764 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
1765 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
1768 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
1770 The blank line is mandatory.
1774 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
1775 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
1779 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
1780 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
1782 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
1783 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
1784 to support policy checking and print out.
1787 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
1788 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
1789 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
1790 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
1792 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
1795 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
1796 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
1798 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
1799 implementation contributed by IBM.
1800 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
1802 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
1803 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
1804 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
1805 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
1807 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
1808 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
1810 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
1811 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
1812 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
1813 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
1814 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
1815 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
1818 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
1819 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
1820 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
1821 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
1822 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
1823 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
1824 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
1827 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
1830 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
1831 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
1832 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
1833 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
1834 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
1835 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
1836 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
1837 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
1840 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
1841 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
1842 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
1843 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
1846 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
1849 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
1852 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
1853 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
1854 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
1855 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
1856 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
1857 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
1858 BN_CTX's "bundling".
1861 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
1862 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
1865 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
1866 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
1867 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
1870 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
1871 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
1872 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
1876 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
1877 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
1880 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
1881 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
1882 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
1883 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
1886 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
1887 initialised value as BN_new().
1888 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
1890 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
1893 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
1894 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
1895 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
1896 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
1897 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
1898 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
1899 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
1900 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
1901 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
1902 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
1903 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
1904 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
1905 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
1906 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
1907 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
1909 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
1910 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
1911 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
1912 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
1915 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
1916 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
1917 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
1918 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
1919 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
1920 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
1921 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
1922 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
1923 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
1926 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
1927 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
1928 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
1929 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
1930 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
1931 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
1932 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
1935 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
1936 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
1937 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
1938 these have been updated also.
1941 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
1942 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
1943 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
1944 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
1945 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
1949 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
1950 structure of type "other".
1953 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
1954 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
1955 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
1956 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
1957 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
1958 situation in the script.
1959 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
1961 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
1962 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
1963 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
1964 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
1965 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
1966 used as premaster secret.
1967 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1969 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
1970 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
1971 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
1973 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
1974 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
1976 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
1977 control of the error stack.
1980 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
1983 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
1984 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
1985 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
1986 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
1989 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
1990 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
1991 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
1994 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
1995 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
1996 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
2000 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
2001 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
2002 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
2003 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
2006 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
2007 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
2008 the following flags are defined:
2010 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
2011 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2012 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
2015 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
2016 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
2017 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
2018 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
2022 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
2023 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
2024 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
2025 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
2026 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
2029 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
2030 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
2031 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
2034 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2035 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2036 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2037 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2038 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2039 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2042 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
2046 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
2049 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
2052 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
2055 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
2056 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
2057 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
2058 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
2059 default implementation more easily.
2062 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
2066 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
2067 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
2070 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
2071 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
2072 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
2073 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
2075 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
2076 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
2077 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
2078 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
2081 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
2082 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
2086 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
2087 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
2088 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
2089 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
2090 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
2091 scalar * generator).
2092 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
2094 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
2095 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
2096 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
2100 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
2101 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
2102 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
2103 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
2104 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
2105 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
2106 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
2107 linker additions, eg;
2108 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
2111 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
2112 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
2113 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
2116 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2117 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2118 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
2122 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
2123 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
2124 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
2125 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
2128 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
2129 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
2130 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
2131 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
2132 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
2133 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
2134 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
2135 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
2136 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
2137 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
2139 Example for using the new callback interface:
2141 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
2145 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
2147 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
2148 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
2149 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
2150 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
2151 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
2152 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
2157 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
2158 available to TLS with the number defined in
2159 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
2162 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
2163 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
2165 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
2166 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2167 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
2168 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
2170 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
2171 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
2173 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
2174 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
2178 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
2179 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
2182 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
2183 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
2184 and a macro that behave like
2185 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
2187 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
2190 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
2191 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
2192 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
2194 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2196 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
2199 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
2200 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
2201 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
2202 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
2204 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
2205 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
2206 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
2207 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
2208 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
2209 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
2210 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
2211 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
2213 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
2214 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
2217 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
2218 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
2220 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
2221 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
2222 files while avoiding the low level API.
2224 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
2225 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
2226 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
2227 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
2229 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
2230 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
2231 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
2232 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
2233 instead of the low level API.
2236 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
2237 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
2238 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
2239 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
2240 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
2243 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
2244 down to the template encoder.
2247 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
2248 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
2251 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
2252 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
2253 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
2254 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2256 *) Add ECDH engine support.
2257 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2259 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
2260 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2262 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
2263 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
2266 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
2267 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
2268 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
2271 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
2272 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
2274 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2275 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2277 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
2278 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
2281 EC_GF2m_simple_method
2285 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
2286 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
2287 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
2288 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2289 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
2290 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
2292 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
2293 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
2296 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
2297 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
2298 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
2299 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
2300 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
2301 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
2302 various internal method names.)
2304 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
2305 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
2307 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2308 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2310 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
2311 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
2313 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
2314 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
2315 methods are undefined.
2317 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2318 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2320 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
2321 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
2322 length of the modulus.
2324 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2325 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2327 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
2328 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
2330 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2331 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2333 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
2334 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
2335 used) in the following functions [macros]:
2338 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
2339 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
2340 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
2341 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
2343 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
2344 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
2345 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
2346 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
2348 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
2349 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
2351 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
2352 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
2353 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
2354 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
2355 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
2357 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
2358 This applies to the following functions:
2363 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
2364 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
2366 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
2367 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
2371 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
2376 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
2378 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
2379 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
2380 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
2381 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
2382 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
2384 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
2385 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
2387 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
2388 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
2389 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
2391 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
2392 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
2394 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
2395 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
2396 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
2397 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
2398 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2400 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
2402 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
2403 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
2404 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
2405 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
2406 These control ASN1 encoding details:
2407 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
2408 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
2409 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
2410 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
2411 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
2412 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
2413 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
2415 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
2418 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
2419 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
2420 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
2421 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2423 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
2424 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
2425 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
2426 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2431 EC_POINT_point2hex()
2432 EC_POINT_hex2point()
2433 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
2434 EC_POINT_oct2point().
2435 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2437 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
2438 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
2439 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
2440 EC_GROUP_get_order()
2441 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
2442 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
2443 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
2444 adding different types of curves.
2445 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
2447 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
2448 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
2449 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
2452 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
2453 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
2455 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
2456 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
2457 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
2458 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2460 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
2462 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
2463 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
2465 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
2466 library. Most notably,
2467 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
2468 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
2469 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
2470 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
2471 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
2472 extracted before the specific public key;
2473 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
2474 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
2476 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
2477 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
2479 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
2480 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
2481 EC_get_builtin_curves().
2482 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
2484 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
2485 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
2486 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
2488 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
2489 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
2490 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
2491 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
2492 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
2493 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
2497 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
2499 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
2501 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
2503 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2504 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2505 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2508 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
2509 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2510 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
2513 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
2516 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
2517 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
2520 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
2521 run algorithm test programs.
2524 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
2527 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2528 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2529 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2530 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2531 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2534 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2535 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2538 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
2540 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2541 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2542 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2544 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2545 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2547 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2548 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2550 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2551 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2552 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2554 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
2555 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
2556 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
2557 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
2558 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
2559 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
2560 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
2563 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
2565 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2566 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2568 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2569 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2570 undesirable limitations.
2571 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2573 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2575 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2576 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2577 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2579 The latter two were purportedly from
2580 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2583 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
2584 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2585 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2588 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2589 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2592 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
2594 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
2595 module in FIPS mode.
2598 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
2601 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
2602 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
2603 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
2604 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
2607 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
2609 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
2610 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
2611 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
2612 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
2613 the difference induced by this change.
2616 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
2618 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2619 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2620 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2621 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2622 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2624 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2625 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2626 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2628 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
2629 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
2632 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
2633 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
2634 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
2635 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
2639 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
2640 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
2641 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
2642 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
2643 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
2645 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
2646 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
2647 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
2648 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
2649 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
2650 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
2652 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
2654 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
2655 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
2656 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
2657 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
2658 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
2661 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
2665 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
2666 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
2667 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
2670 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
2671 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
2672 structures constant.
2675 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
2677 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2680 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
2681 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
2682 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
2683 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
2684 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
2685 some needed definitions.
2688 *) Undo Cygwin change.
2691 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
2692 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
2693 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
2694 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
2697 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
2699 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
2700 server and client random values. Previously
2701 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
2702 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
2704 This change has negligible security impact because:
2706 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
2709 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
2712 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
2713 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
2716 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
2719 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
2721 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
2724 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
2725 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
2726 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
2728 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
2731 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
2732 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
2735 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
2736 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
2737 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
2739 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
2742 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
2743 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
2744 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
2748 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
2749 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
2750 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
2751 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
2753 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
2754 has chosen to ignore this fault)
2755 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
2756 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
2760 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
2762 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
2763 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
2764 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
2765 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
2766 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
2769 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
2772 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
2773 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
2775 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
2776 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
2777 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
2778 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
2779 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
2780 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
2781 rather than being initialized to 1.
2784 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
2786 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
2787 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
2788 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2790 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
2792 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
2794 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
2795 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
2796 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
2797 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
2798 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
2799 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
2802 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
2803 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
2804 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
2805 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
2806 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
2810 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
2811 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
2812 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
2813 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
2814 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
2817 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
2818 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
2819 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
2823 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
2824 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
2826 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
2829 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
2831 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
2833 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
2834 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
2836 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
2838 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
2839 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
2843 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
2844 exiting on the first error in a request.
2847 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
2848 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
2852 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
2853 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
2854 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
2855 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
2857 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
2858 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
2861 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
2862 blocks during encryption.
2865 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
2866 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
2867 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
2868 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
2872 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
2873 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
2874 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
2875 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
2876 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
2880 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
2882 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
2883 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
2884 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
2885 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
2888 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
2889 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
2890 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
2891 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
2892 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
2894 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
2895 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
2896 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
2897 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
2898 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
2899 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
2900 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
2901 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
2902 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
2905 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
2906 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
2907 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
2908 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
2911 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
2912 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
2915 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
2917 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
2918 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
2919 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
2920 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
2921 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
2923 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
2924 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
2925 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
2927 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
2928 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
2929 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
2930 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
2931 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
2933 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
2934 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
2935 used by default when no-err is given.
2938 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
2939 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
2941 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
2942 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
2943 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
2944 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
2945 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
2947 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
2948 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
2949 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
2950 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
2952 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
2954 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
2956 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
2958 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
2959 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
2960 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
2961 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
2965 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
2966 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
2968 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
2969 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
2972 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
2973 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
2974 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
2975 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
2978 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
2979 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
2980 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
2981 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
2982 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
2983 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
2984 followup to PR #377.
2987 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
2988 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
2991 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
2992 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
2993 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

3016 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application

3024 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
3025 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
3026 have to be made anyway).
3029 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
3030 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
3031 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
3034 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
3035 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
3036 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.
3039 *) Add the VC-CE target, introduce the WINCE sysname, and add
3040 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.
3041 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
3043 *) Change the DLL names for Cygwin to cygcrypto-x.y.z.dll and
3044 cygssl-x.y.z.dll, where x, y and z are the major, minor and
3045 edit numbers of the version.
3046 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
3048 *) Introduce safe string copy and catenation functions
3049 (BUF_strlcpy() and BUF_strlcat()).
3050 [Ben Laurie (CHATS) and Richard Levitte]
3052 *) Avoid using fixed-size buffers for one-line DNs.
3053 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3055 *) Add BUF_MEM_grow_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3056 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3057 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3059 *) Avoid using fixed size buffers for configuration file location.
3060 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3062 *) Avoid filename truncation for various CA files.
3063 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3065 *) Use sizeof in preference to magic numbers.
3066 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3068 *) Avoid filename truncation in cert requests.
3069 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3071 *) Add assertions to check for (supposedly impossible) buffer
3073 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3075 *) Don't cache truncated DNS entries in the local cache (this could
3076 potentially lead to a spoofing attack).
3077 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3079 *) Fix various buffers to be large enough for hex/decimal
3080 representations in a platform independent manner.
3081 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3083 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
3084 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
3085 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3087 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
3089 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3091 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
3092 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3094 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
3096 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3098 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
3099 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
3100 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3102 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
3104 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3106 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
3107 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3109 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
3110 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3112 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
3113 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3115 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
3116 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3118 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
3120 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3122 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
3123 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3125 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
3126 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3128 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
3129 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
3131 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3133 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
3134 the 0.9.6 release series:
3136 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
3137 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
3139 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
3141 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
3144 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
3145 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
3147 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
3148 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
3150 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
3151 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
3152 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
3153 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
3155 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
3156 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
3157 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
3159 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
3160 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
3161 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
3162 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
3164 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
3165 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
3166 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
3169 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
3170 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
3171 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
3172 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3173 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
3174 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
3175 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
3176 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
3179 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
3180 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
3181 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
3184 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
3185 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
3186 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
3187 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
3188 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
3190 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
3191 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
3193 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
3194 error in AES-CFB decryption.
3197 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
3198 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
3199 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
3200 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
3201 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
3202 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
3205 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
3206 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
3207 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
3210 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
3211 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
3214 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
3215 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
3216 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
3217 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
3218 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
3219 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
3220 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
3223 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
3224 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
3225 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
3226 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
3227 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
3228 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
3231 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
3232 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
3233 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
3234 declaration has been changed from
3237 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
3238 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
3239 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
3240 has been changed into
3241 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
3243 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
3244 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
3245 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
3247 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
3248 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
3250 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
3251 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
3252 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
3253 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
3254 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
3255 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
3256 always load it have also been added.
3259 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
3260 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
3261 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3263 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
3265 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
3266 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
3267 because it couldn't be used for anything.
3269 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
3270 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
3271 command line option can be used to specify an
3275 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
3276 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
3279 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
3280 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
3281 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
3284 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
3285 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
3286 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
3287 to work with the new engine framework.
3288 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
3290 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
3291 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
3292 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
3293 to work with the new engine framework.
3296 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
3297 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
3298 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
3300 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
3301 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
3303 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
3304 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
3305 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
3306 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
3308 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3310 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
3311 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
3313 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
3314 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
3316 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
3317 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
3318 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
3321 *) Add new functions
3323 ERR_peek_last_error_line
3324 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
3325 These are similar to
3328 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
3329 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
3330 still in the error queue.
3331 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
3333 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
3335 default_algorithms = ALL
3336 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
3339 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
3342 *) New experimental application configuration code.
3345 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
3346 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
3347 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
3348 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
3350 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
3351 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
3353 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
3354 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3356 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
3357 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
3360 *) New functions/macros
3362 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
3363 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
3364 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
3365 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
3367 to request calling a callback function
3369 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
3370 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
3372 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
3373 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
3374 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
3375 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
3376 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
3377 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
3378 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
3379 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
3380 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
3381 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
3383 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
3384 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
3387 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
3388 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
3389 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
3390 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
3391 the configuration scripts.
3393 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
3394 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
3395 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
3397 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
3398 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
3400 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
3401 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
3402 when reusing an existing buffer.
3405 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
3406 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
3409 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
3410 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
3413 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
3414 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
3415 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
3416 has the same effect.
3417 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
3419 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
3420 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
3421 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
3422 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
3423 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
3424 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
3427 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
3428 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
3429 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
3430 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
3432 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
3433 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
3434 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
3435 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
3437 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
3438 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
3441 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
3442 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
3443 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
3444 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
3445 default), and then completely removed.
3448 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
3449 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
3450 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
3451 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
3452 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
3453 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
3454 particular extension is supported.
3457 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
3458 to retain compatibility with existing code.
3461 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
3462 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
3463 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
3464 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
3465 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
3466 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
3467 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
3468 requires the destination to be valid.
3470 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
3471 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
3474 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
3475 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
3476 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
3479 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
3480 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
3482 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
3483 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
3484 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
3485 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
3486 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
3487 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
3488 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
3489 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
3490 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
3491 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
3492 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
3493 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
3494 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
3495 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
3496 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
3497 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
3498 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
3499 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
3500 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
3504 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
3507 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
3508 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
3509 become part of libeay.num as well.
3512 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
3513 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
3514 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
3515 false once a handshake has been completed.
3516 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
3517 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
3518 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
3519 client has followed the request.)
3522 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
3523 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
3524 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
3525 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
3527 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
3528 more bits available for options that should not be part of
3529 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
3532 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
3535 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
3536 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
3537 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
3540 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
3541 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
3544 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
3545 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
3546 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
3547 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
3550 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
3551 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
3552 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
3553 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
3554 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
3555 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
3558 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
3559 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
3560 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
3561 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
3562 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
3563 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
3564 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
3565 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
3568 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
3569 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
3572 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
3575 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
3576 md_data void pointer.
3579 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
3580 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
3581 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
3582 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
3583 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
3584 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
3587 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
3588 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
3589 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
3590 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
3591 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
3592 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
3593 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
3594 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
3595 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
3596 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
3597 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
3598 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
3599 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
3600 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
3601 rather than letting it slide.
3603 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
3604 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
3605 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
3608 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
3609 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
3610 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
3611 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
3612 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
3613 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
3614 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
3615 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
3616 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
3619 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
3620 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
3621 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
3622 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
3623 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
3625 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
3628 *) Add EVP test program.
3631 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
3634 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
3635 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
3636 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
3637 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
3638 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
3641 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
3642 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
3643 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
3644 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
3645 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
3646 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
3647 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
3649 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
3650 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
3651 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
3656 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
3657 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
3658 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
3659 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
3660 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
3664 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
3665 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
3666 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
3667 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
3670 des_key_schedule ks;
3672 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
3673 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
3675 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
3678 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
3679 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
3680 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
3681 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
3682 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
3683 functions prevents this.
3686 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
3689 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
3690 correct _ecb suffix.
3693 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
3694 revocation information is handled using the text based index
3695 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
3696 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
3697 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
3700 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
3703 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
3704 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
3705 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
3706 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
3708 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
3709 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
3711 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
3712 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
3713 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
3714 via Richard Levitte]
3716 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
3717 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
3718 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
3719 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
3722 *) Speed up EVP routines.
3725 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
3726 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

3740 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
3741 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
3743 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
3744 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
3745 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
3746 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
3747 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
3748 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
3751 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
3752 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
3755 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
3756 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
3757 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
3758 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
3760 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
3761 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
3762 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
3763 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
3764 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
3765 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
3769 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
3770 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
3771 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
3772 and interrupts/cancellations.
3775 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
3776 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
3779 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
3780 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
3781 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
3783 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
3784 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
3788 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
3789 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
3790 than this minimum value is recommended.
3793 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
3794 that are easily reachable.
3797 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
3798 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
3800 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
3802 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
3803 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
3804 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
3805 needed for static libraries under Win32.
3808 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
3809 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
3810 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
3813 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
3814 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
3815 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
3816 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
3817 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
3818 internally such as S/MIME.
3820 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
3821 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
3822 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
3824 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
3828 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
3829 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
3830 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
3831 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
3833 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
3835 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
3837 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
3838 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
3839 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
3843 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
3844 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
3845 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
3846 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
3847 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
3848 a window system and the like.
3851 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
3852 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
3855 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
3856 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
3857 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
3858 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
3859 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
3860 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
3861 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
3862 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
3863 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
3867 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
3868 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
3872 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
3873 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
3874 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
3875 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
3876 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
3877 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
3878 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
3879 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
3882 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
3883 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
3884 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
3885 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
3886 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
3887 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
3888 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
3889 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
3890 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
3891 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
3892 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
3893 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
3894 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
3895 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
3896 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
3897 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
3898 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
3901 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
3902 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
3903 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
3904 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
3905 internal engine_int.h header.
3908 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
3909 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
3910 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
3911 modify their own ones).
3914 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
3915 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
3916 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
3917 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
3918 later on via ctrl() commands.
3919 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
3920 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
3921 structural references.
3922 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
3923 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
3924 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
3925 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
3926 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
3927 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
3928 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
3929 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
3930 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
3931 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
3932 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
3933 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
3936 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
3937 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
3938 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
3939 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
3940 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
3941 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
3942 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
3943 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
3946 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
3947 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
3950 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
3951 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
3954 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
3955 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
3956 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
3957 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
3958 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
3959 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
3960 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
3963 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
3964 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
3965 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
3966 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
3967 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
3969 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
3970 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
3974 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
3976 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
3977 operations and provides various method functions that can also
3978 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
3980 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
3981 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
3983 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
3984 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
3985 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
3987 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
3988 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
3990 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
3991 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
3993 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
3995 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
3996 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
3997 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
4000 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
4001 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
4004 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
4005 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
4006 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
4007 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
4008 is 40 of more characters long.
4011 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
4012 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
4016 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
4017 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
4020 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
4021 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
4025 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
4027 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
4028 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
4031 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
4033 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
4034 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
4035 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
4037 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
4038 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
4040 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
4043 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
4047 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
4048 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
4049 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
4050 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
4052 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
4054 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
4055 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
4057 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
4058 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
4059 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
4060 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
4061 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
4062 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
4064 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
4065 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
4067 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
4068 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4070 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
4071 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
4073 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
4074 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
4075 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
4076 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
4078 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
4079 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
4081 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
4082 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
4084 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
4085 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
4086 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
4087 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
4088 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
4091 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
4092 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
4093 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
4094 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
4097 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
4098 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
4099 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
4103 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
4104 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
4105 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
4106 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
4107 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
4108 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
4109 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
4110 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
4114 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
4115 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
4118 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
4119 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
4120 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
4121 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
4124 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
4125 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
4126 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
4127 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
4128 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
4129 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
4130 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
4131 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
4132 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
4133 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
4136 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
4137 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
4138 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
4139 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
4140 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
4141 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
4142 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
4143 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4145 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
4146 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
4147 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
4148 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
4151 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
4152 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
4153 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
4154 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
4156 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
4157 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
4158 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
4159 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
4160 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
4164 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
4165 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
4166 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
4167 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
4171 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
4172 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
4173 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
4176 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
4177 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
4178 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
4179 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
4180 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
4183 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
4186 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
4187 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
4188 option to ocsp utility.
4191 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
4192 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
4193 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
4194 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
4195 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
4196 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
4197 the request is nonce-less.
4200 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
4201 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
4202 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
4205 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
4206 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
4207 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
4210 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
4211 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
4212 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
4213 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
4214 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
4217 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
4218 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
4222 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
4223 additional certificates supplied.
4226 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
4227 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
4231 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
4232 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
4235 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
4236 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
4237 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
4238 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
4239 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
4240 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
4241 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
4242 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
4243 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
4245 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
4246 request to response.
4249 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
4250 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
4251 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
4252 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
4253 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
4254 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
4255 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
4256 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
4257 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
4258 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
4259 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
4262 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
4263 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
4264 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
4265 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
4268 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
4269 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4271 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
4272 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
4273 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
4276 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
4277 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
4278 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
4279 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4280 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4282 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
4283 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
4284 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
4287 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
4288 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
4289 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
4290 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
4291 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
4292 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
4293 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
4294 <support@securenetterm.com>]
4296 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
4297 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
4298 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
4299 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
4300 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
4301 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
4304 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
4305 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
4306 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
4307 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
4308 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
4309 printout format cleaned up.
4312 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
4313 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
4314 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
4315 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
4316 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
4317 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
4318 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
4319 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
4322 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
4323 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
4324 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
4325 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
4326 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
4327 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
4328 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
4329 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
4332 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
4333 extensions from a separate configuration file.
4334 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
4335 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
4337 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4339 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
4340 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
4341 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
4342 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
4345 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
4346 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
4347 the given serial number (according to the index file).
4348 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
4350 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
4352 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
4353 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
4354 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
4355 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4357 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
4358 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
4360 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
4361 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
4362 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
4365 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
4366 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
4367 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
4370 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
4371 file name and line number information in additional arguments
4372 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
4373 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
4374 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
4375 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
4376 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
4377 functions are provided:
4379 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
4380 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
4381 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
4382 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
4384 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
4385 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
4386 extended allocation function is enabled.
4387 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
4388 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
4389 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
4391 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
4392 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
4393 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
4394 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
4395 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
4398 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
4399 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
4400 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
4402 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
4403 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
4404 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
4407 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
4408 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
4409 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
4410 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
4411 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
4412 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
4413 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
4414 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
4415 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
4418 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
4419 provide utility functions which an application needing
4420 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
4421 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
4422 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
4424 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
4425 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
4426 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
4427 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
4428 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
4429 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
4430 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
4431 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
4432 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
4434 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
4435 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
4436 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
4437 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
4440 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
4441 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
4442 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
4443 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
4444 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
4445 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
4446 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
4447 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
4448 will be added elsewhere.
4451 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
4452 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
4453 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
4454 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
4457 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
4458 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
4459 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
4460 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
4461 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
4462 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
4463 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
4464 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
4465 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
4466 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
4467 to produce the required SET OF.
4470 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
4471 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
4472 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
4475 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
4476 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
4477 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
4478 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
4479 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
4480 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
4483 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
4484 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
4485 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
4488 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
4489 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
4490 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
4493 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
4494 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
4495 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
4496 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
4497 code will still work when these eventually go away.
4500 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
4501 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
4504 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
4505 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
4506 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
4507 certifcates and CRLs.
4510 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
4511 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
4512 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
4515 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
4516 entries for variables.
4519 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
4520 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
4521 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
4522 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
4525 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
4526 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
4527 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
4528 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
4529 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
4530 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
4533 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
4534 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
4536 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
4537 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
4538 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
4541 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
4545 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
4546 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
4547 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
4548 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
4549 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
4550 order did not reflect the encoded order.
4553 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
4556 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
4557 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
4558 for now but they will eventually go away.
4561 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
4562 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
4563 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
4564 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
4565 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
4566 has also been converted to the new form.
4569 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
4570 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
4571 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
4572 for negative moduli.
4575 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
4576 of not touching the result's sign bit.
4579 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
4583 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
4584 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
4585 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
4586 type-specific callbacks.
4589 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
4591 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4592 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
4594 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
4595 in sections depending on the subject.
4598 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
4602 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
4603 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
4604 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
4605 be handled deterministically).
4606 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4608 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
4609 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
4610 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
4613 *) New function BN_kronecker.
4616 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
4617 positive unless both parameters are zero.
4618 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
4619 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
4620 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
4623 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
4624 sign of the number in question.
4626 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
4628 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
4629 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
4630 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
4631 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
4632 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
4635 *) New function BN_swap.
4638 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
4639 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
4640 results on negative inputs.
4643 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
4644 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
4645 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
4648 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
4649 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
4650 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
4651 and add new functions:
4660 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
4664 These functions always generate non-negative results.
4666 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
4667 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
4669 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
4670 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
4671 be reduced modulo m.
4672 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
4675 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
4676 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
4677 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
4679 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
4680 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
4681 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
4682 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
4683 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
4684 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
4689 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
4690 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
4691 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
4692 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
4693 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
4695 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
4696 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
4697 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
4701 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
4704 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
4705 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
4708 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
4709 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
4710 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
4711 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
4715 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
4718 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
4721 *) Add the following functions:
4723 ENGINE_load_cswift()
4725 ENGINE_load_atalla()
4727 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
4729 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
4730 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
4731 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
4732 libraries unless it's really needed.
4734 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
4735 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
4736 declarations (they differed!).
4739 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
4742 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
4745 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
4748 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
4749 identity, and test if they are actually available.
4752 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
4753 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
4754 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
4756 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
4757 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
4760 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
4763 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
4766 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
4769 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
4770 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
4771 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
4773 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
4774 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
4775 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
4776 different shared library filenames on each system.
4779 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
4782 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
4783 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
4784 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
4786 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
4789 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
4790 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
4791 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
4792 binary backward compatibility.
4793 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
4794 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
4795 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
4799 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
4800 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
4801 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
4802 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
4806 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
4809 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
4810 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
4811 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
4812 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
4816 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
4819 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
4821 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
4822 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
4823 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
4825 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
4827 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
4829 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
4830 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
4833 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
4835 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4837 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4838 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4840 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4841 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4845 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4846 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4850 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4851 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4852 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4853 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4855 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4856 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4859 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
4861 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4862 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4863 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4864 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4867 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4868 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4869 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4870 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4871 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4873 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4874 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4875 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4876 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4877 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4878 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4879 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4880 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4881 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4884 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
4886 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4887 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4888 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4889 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4890 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4892 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4893 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4894 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4896 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
4898 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
4899 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
4900 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
4901 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
4902 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
4903 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
4906 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
4907 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
4908 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
4909 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
4910 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
4913 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
4914 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
4915 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
4917 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
4918 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
4919 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
4923 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
4924 being properly terminated.
4927 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
4928 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
4929 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
4930 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
4932 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
4933 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
4934 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
4935 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
4936 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
4937 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
4938 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
4940 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
4942 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
4943 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
4946 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
4947 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
4948 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
4949 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
4950 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
4951 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
4952 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
4953 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
4955 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
4956 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
4957 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
4958 (see [openssl.org #212]).
4959 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
4961 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
4962 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
4965 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
4967 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
4968 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
4969 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
4971 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
4973 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
4974 and get fix the header length calculation.
4975 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
4976 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
4979 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
4980 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
4981 assertions could call abort()).
4982 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
4984 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
4986 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
4987 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
4988 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
4990 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
4992 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
4993 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
4994 by the selection routines (PR #130).
4997 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
5001 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
5002 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
5003 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
5005 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
5006 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
5007 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
5008 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
5009 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
5013 *) Changes in security patch:
5015 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
5016 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
5017 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
5020 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
5021 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
5022 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
5023 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
5024 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
5026 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
5028 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5030 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
5031 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
5032 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
5034 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
5035 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
5036 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5038 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
5039 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
5040 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
5042 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
5044 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
5045 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
5046 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
5048 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
5049 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
5051 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
5052 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
5053 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
5054 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
5055 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
5056 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
5059 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
5060 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
5061 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
5062 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
5065 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
5068 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
5069 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
5070 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
5071 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
5072 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
5073 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
5075 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
5076 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
5077 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
5078 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
5079 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
5082 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
5083 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
5084 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
5085 BN_generate_prime().)
5087 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
5088 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
5089 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
5093 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
5094 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
5097 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
5098 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
5099 when using non-blocking I/O.
5100 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
5102 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
5103 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
5105 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
5106 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
5109 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
5110 configuration for the versions before that.
5111 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
5113 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
5114 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
5115 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
5116 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
5119 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
5120 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
5121 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
5124 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
5128 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
5129 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
5130 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
5132 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
5133 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
5135 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
5136 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
5137 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
5138 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
5139 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
5140 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
5141 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
5144 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
5145 using a local variable.
5146 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
5148 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
5149 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
5150 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
5152 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
5155 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
5156 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
5158 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
5159 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
5160 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
5162 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
5164 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
5165 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
5166 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
5167 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
5170 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
5174 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
5175 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
5176 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
5177 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
5178 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
5180 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
5181 returns early because it has nothing to do.
5182 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5184 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5185 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
5186 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5188 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5189 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
5190 (Use engine 'keyclient')
5191 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
5193 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
5194 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
5195 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
5197 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
5199 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5200 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
5202 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
5204 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5205 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
5206 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
5207 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
5209 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
5210 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
5211 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
5212 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
5214 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
5215 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
5217 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
5218 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
5219 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
5222 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
5223 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
5224 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
5226 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
5228 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
5229 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
5230 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
5231 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
5232 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
5233 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
5234 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
5237 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
5238 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
5239 one of the SSL handshake functions.
5240 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
5242 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
5243 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
5244 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
5245 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
5246 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
5247 the client will at least see that alert.
5250 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
5254 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
5255 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
5256 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
5258 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
5259 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
5260 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
5261 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
5264 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
5265 before just sending a HelloRequest.
5266 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
5268 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
5269 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
5270 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
5271 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
5272 may leak via logfiles.)
5274 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
5275 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
5276 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
5277 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
5281 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
5282 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
5285 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
5286 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
5287 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
5288 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
5289 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
5292 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
5293 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
5295 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
5296 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
5297 followed by modular reduction.
5298 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
5300 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
5301 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
5304 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
5305 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
5306 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
5307 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
5310 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
5313 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
5314 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
5317 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
5318 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
5319 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
5320 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
5321 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
5322 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
5324 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
5326 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
5327 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
5328 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
5329 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
5330 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
5332 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
5335 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
5336 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
5337 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
5338 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
5339 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
5340 to allow the necessary settings.
5343 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
5344 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
5345 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
5346 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
5349 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
5350 dh->length and always used
5352 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
5354 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
5355 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
5356 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
5357 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
5358 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
5363 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
5365 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
5371 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
5372 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
5373 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
5374 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
5376 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
5377 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
5378 always reject numbers >= n.
5381 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
5382 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
5383 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
5384 variable) is not atomic.
5387 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
5388 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
5389 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
5390 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
5392 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
5393 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
5395 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
5397 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
5399 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
5402 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
5404 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
5405 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
5406 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
5407 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
5408 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
5409 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
5410 to traverse all of 'state'.
5412 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
5413 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
5414 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
5416 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
5417 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
5419 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
5420 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
5421 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
5422 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
5423 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
5424 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
5425 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
5426 further strengthens the PRNG.
5429 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
5432 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
5433 an error message in this case.
5436 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
5439 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
5440 positive and less than q.
5443 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
5444 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
5446 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
5448 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
5449 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
5453 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
5455 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
5456 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
5457 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
5458 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
5459 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
5460 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
5461 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
5464 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
5465 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
5466 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
5467 detect the supposedly ignored error.
5469 Both problems are now fixed.
5472 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
5473 (previously it was 1024).
5476 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
5477 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
5480 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
5483 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
5484 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
5485 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
5488 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
5489 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
5490 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
5491 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
5492 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
5493 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
5494 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
5495 environment variables.
5497 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
5498 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
5499 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
5502 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
5503 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
5504 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
5505 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
5506 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
5507 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
5510 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
5514 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
5516 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
5517 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
5519 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
5520 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
5521 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
5522 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
5526 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
5527 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
5528 amount of data available.
5529 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
5530 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5532 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
5533 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
5534 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
5535 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
5538 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
5539 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
5543 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
5544 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
5545 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
5546 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
5549 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
5552 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
5555 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
5556 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
5558 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5560 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
5561 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
5562 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
5563 (but broken) behaviour.
5566 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
5568 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
5570 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
5571 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
5574 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
5578 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
5579 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
5581 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
5584 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
5585 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
5586 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
5588 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
5589 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
5590 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
5593 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
5594 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
5597 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
5598 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
5600 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
5602 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
5604 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
5605 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
5606 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
5607 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
5610 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
5613 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
5614 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
5615 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5617 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
5620 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5622 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
5623 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
5624 but the code is actually correct.
5627 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
5628 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
5629 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
5630 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
5631 and leaves the highest bit random.
5632 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
5634 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
5635 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
5636 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
5637 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
5638 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
5639 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
5640 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
5643 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
5646 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
5647 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
5650 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
5651 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
5652 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
5653 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
5657 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
5658 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
5659 and break the signature.
5661 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
5663 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
5667 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
5668 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
5669 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
5670 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
5671 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
5674 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
5675 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
5677 *) ./config script fixes.
5678 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
5680 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
5683 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
5684 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
5685 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
5686 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
5687 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
5689 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
5690 call failed, free the DSA structure.
5693 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
5694 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
5697 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
5698 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
5699 when writing a 32767 byte record.
5700 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
5702 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
5703 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
5705 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
5706 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
5707 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
5708 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
5709 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
5711 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
5714 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
5717 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
5720 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
5723 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
5724 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
5727 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
5728 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
5729 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
5730 result of the server certificate verification.)
5733 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
5734 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
5735 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
5739 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
5740 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
5741 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
5742 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
5743 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
5744 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
5745 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
5746 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
5749 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
5750 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
5751 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
5752 happening the other way round.
5755 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
5756 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
5759 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
5760 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
5761 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
5762 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
5765 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
5766 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
5768 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
5770 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
5771 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
5772 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
5775 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
5777 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
5779 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
5783 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
5785 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
5786 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
5787 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
5788 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
5789 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
5791 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
5792 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
5796 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
5799 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
5801 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
5802 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
5803 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
5804 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
5805 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
5806 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
5807 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
5808 by the Finished messages.
5811 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
5812 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
5814 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
5815 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
5816 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
5817 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
5818 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
5822 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
5823 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
5824 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
5825 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
5826 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
5827 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
5828 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
5829 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
5830 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
5834 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
5835 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
5836 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
5837 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
5839 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
5840 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
5841 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
5842 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
5843 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
5846 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
5847 been tested well enough.
5850 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
5851 it can return incorrect results.
5852 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
5853 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
5856 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
5857 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
5858 include zero length content when signing messages.
5861 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
5862 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
5865 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
5868 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
5872 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
5873 packages. The default package contains applications, application
5874 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
5875 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
5876 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
5877 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
5880 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
5881 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
5883 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
5884 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
5886 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
5887 random number < q in the DSA library.
5890 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
5891 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
5892 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
5893 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
5894 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
5895 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
5896 just makes things more complicated.)
5899 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
5903 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
5904 work better on such systems.
5905 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
5907 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
5908 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
5909 keyid to the certificates aux info.
5912 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
5913 if there was more than one signature.
5914 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
5916 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
5917 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
5918 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
5919 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
5922 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
5923 rather than always using the current time.
5926 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
5927 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
5928 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
5929 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
5930 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
5931 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
5933 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
5934 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
5936 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
5938 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
5939 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
5940 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
5941 the same hash value.
5943 As a result various functions (which were all internal
5944 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
5945 structure. This will break anything that messed round
5946 with X509_STORE internally.
5948 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
5949 exact match, rather than just subject name.
5951 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
5952 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
5953 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
5954 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
5955 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
5956 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
5957 entirely (maybe later...).
5959 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
5961 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
5962 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
5963 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
5964 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
5965 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
5966 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
5967 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
5968 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
5970 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
5971 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5973 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
5974 to customise the verify behaviour.
5977 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
5978 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
5981 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
5982 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
5983 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
5984 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
5985 request is improperly encoded.
5988 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
5989 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
5992 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
5993 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
5995 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
5996 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
6000 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
6001 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
6002 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
6005 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
6006 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
6007 BIO/fp routines also added.
6010 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
6011 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
6013 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
6014 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
6015 demos/state_machine.
6018 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
6019 generation and verification.
6022 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
6023 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
6024 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
6025 encode and decode it manually.
6028 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
6030 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
6032 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
6033 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
6034 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
6035 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
6037 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
6038 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
6039 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
6040 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
6041 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
6044 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
6047 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
6048 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
6049 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
6051 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
6052 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
6053 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
6054 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
6055 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
6056 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
6057 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
6058 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
6060 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
6061 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
6063 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
6065 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
6066 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
6067 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
6071 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
6072 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
6073 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
6074 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
6078 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
6080 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
6083 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
6084 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
6085 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
6086 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
6087 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
6088 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
6089 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
6090 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
6091 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
6092 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
6093 short or long names are found.
6096 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
6097 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
6099 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
6100 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
6101 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
6102 version rollback attacks was not effective.
6104 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
6105 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
6106 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
6107 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
6110 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
6111 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
6112 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
6115 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
6116 these print out strings and name structures based on various
6117 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
6118 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
6119 to allow the various flags to be set.
6122 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
6123 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
6124 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
6125 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
6126 dates to be checked.
6129 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
6130 negative public key encodings) on by default,
6131 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
6134 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
6135 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
6136 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
6139 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
6140 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
6143 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
6144 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
6145 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
6146 are always statically linked for now, but there are
6147 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
6148 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
6151 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
6152 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
6156 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
6160 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
6161 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
6162 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
6163 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
6164 form signing output easier to verify.
6167 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
6170 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
6171 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
6172 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
6173 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
6174 are needed because all other string types have virtually
6175 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
6176 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
6177 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
6178 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
6179 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
6182 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
6184 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
6185 the syntax given in objects.README.
6186 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
6188 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
6191 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
6192 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
6193 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
6194 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
6195 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
6196 consistent name changes.
6199 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
6202 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
6203 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
6204 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
6205 environment variable, or the default random state file.
6208 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
6209 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
6210 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
6214 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
6215 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
6216 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
6217 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
6220 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
6221 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
6222 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
6223 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
6224 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
6225 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
6226 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
6227 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
6228 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
6229 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
6230 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
6233 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
6234 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
6235 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
6236 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
6237 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
6238 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
6239 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
6240 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
6241 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
6242 algorithm to openssl-dev.
6245 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
6246 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
6247 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
6248 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
6250 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
6251 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
6252 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
6253 omit any duplicate addresses.
6256 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
6257 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
6260 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
6261 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
6262 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
6263 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
6264 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
6267 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
6269 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
6270 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
6271 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
6272 Free => OPENSSL_free
6275 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
6276 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
6279 *) CygWin32 support.
6280 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
6282 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
6283 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
6284 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
6285 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
6286 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
6290 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
6291 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
6292 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
6293 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
6294 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
6295 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
6296 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
6299 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
6300 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
6301 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
6302 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
6303 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
6304 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
6305 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
6306 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
6307 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
6308 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
6309 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
6312 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
6313 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
6314 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
6315 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
6316 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
6318 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
6319 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
6320 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
6321 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
6322 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
6324 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
6327 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
6328 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
6329 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
6330 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
6332 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
6334 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
6337 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
6338 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
6339 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
6342 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
6343 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
6344 any installed hardware versions can.
6347 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
6348 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
6349 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
6353 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
6354 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
6355 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
6356 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
6357 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
6359 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
6360 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
6363 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
6364 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
6367 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
6368 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
6369 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
6373 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
6376 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
6377 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
6378 but no ssl client purpose.
6379 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
6381 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
6382 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
6383 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
6384 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
6385 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
6386 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
6387 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
6388 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
6389 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
6390 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
6391 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
6394 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
6395 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
6396 be obtained from the error queue.
6399 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
6400 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
6401 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
6402 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
6405 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
6408 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
6409 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
6410 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
6411 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
6412 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
6415 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
6416 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
6417 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
6418 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
6419 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
6422 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
6423 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
6424 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
6426 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
6428 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
6429 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
6430 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
6431 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
6432 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
6433 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
6434 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
6435 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
6436 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
6437 or "the configuration storage API"...
6439 The new configuration file reading functions are:
6441 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
6442 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
6444 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
6446 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
6448 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
6449 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
6450 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
6451 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
6452 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
6453 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
6454 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
6456 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
6457 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
6460 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
6461 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
6462 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
6463 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
6466 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
6467 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
6468 them in a portable way.
6469 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
6471 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
6473 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
6475 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
6476 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
6478 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
6479 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
6480 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
6483 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
6484 was larger than the MD block size.
6485 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
6487 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
6488 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
6489 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
6490 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
6494 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
6495 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
6496 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
6498 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
6500 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
6502 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
6503 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
6504 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
6505 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
6506 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
6507 Additional arguments are always ignored.
6509 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
6510 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
6512 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
6513 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
6516 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
6519 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
6520 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
6522 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
6523 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
6524 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
6525 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
6528 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
6529 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
6530 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
6531 does not suppress any output.
6534 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
6535 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
6536 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
6537 with all the associated security issues.
6539 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
6540 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
6541 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
6542 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
6543 use the value in the default purpose.
6546 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
6547 and fix a memory leak.
6550 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
6551 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
6552 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
6553 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
6556 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
6557 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
6558 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
6559 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
6562 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
6563 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
6564 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
6567 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
6568 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
6571 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
6572 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
6576 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
6577 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
6580 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
6581 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
6582 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
6585 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
6586 number generation fails.
6589 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
6592 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
6593 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
6595 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
6598 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
6599 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
6601 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
6602 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
6604 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
6606 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
6607 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
6610 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
6611 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
6613 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
6614 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
6617 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
6618 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
6619 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
6620 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
6621 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
6622 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
6624 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
6625 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
6626 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
6630 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
6631 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
6632 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
6633 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
6634 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
6635 counter, some don't.)
6636 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
6637 counters or duplicate objects.
6640 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
6641 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
6644 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
6645 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
6646 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
6648 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
6649 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
6650 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
6654 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
6655 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
6658 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
6659 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
6660 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
6664 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
6665 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
6666 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
6669 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
6670 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
6671 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
6672 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
6673 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
6674 should work without changes.
6677 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
6678 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
6679 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
6680 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
6681 must be defined. E.g.,
6682 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
6683 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
6684 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
6685 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
6687 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
6691 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
6692 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
6693 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
6696 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
6697 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
6698 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
6699 request header lines. Some software needs this.
6702 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
6703 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
6704 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
6705 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
6706 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
6707 is prompted for as usual.
6710 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
6711 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
6712 autodetect the card and use it if present.
6713 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
6715 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
6716 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
6717 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
6718 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
6721 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
6724 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
6728 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
6731 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
6734 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
6738 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
6741 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
6744 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
6745 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
6748 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
6749 options to produce them.
6752 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
6753 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
6756 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
6760 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
6761 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
6762 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
6763 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
6764 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
6765 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
6766 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
6769 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
6772 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
6773 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
6774 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
6777 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
6778 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
6780 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
6781 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
6784 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
6785 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
6786 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
6790 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
6791 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
6793 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
6794 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
6795 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
6796 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
6797 generation becomes much faster.
6799 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
6800 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
6801 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
6802 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
6803 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
6804 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
6805 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
6806 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
6807 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
6808 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
6811 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
6812 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
6813 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
6814 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
6815 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
6816 trial division stage.
6819 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
6823 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
6826 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
6829 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
6830 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
6831 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
6835 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
6836 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
6837 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
6840 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
6841 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
6842 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
6843 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6845 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
6846 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
6849 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
6852 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
6853 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
6854 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
6855 Rabin-Miller iterations.
6858 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
6859 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
6860 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
6863 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
6864 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
6865 (instead of parameters) in future.
6868 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
6869 when a new cipher list is set.
6872 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
6873 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
6876 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
6877 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
6878 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
6880 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
6881 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
6882 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
6883 an error is flagged.
6885 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
6886 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
6887 the readability was also increased :-)
6888 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
6890 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
6891 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
6892 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
6893 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
6897 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
6898 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
6901 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
6902 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
6903 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
6904 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
6907 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
6908 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
6909 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
6910 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
6911 because they handle more complex structures.)
6914 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
6915 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
6916 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
6917 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
6919 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
6920 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
6921 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
6922 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
6923 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
6924 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
6925 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
6928 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
6929 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
6930 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
6931 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
6932 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
6935 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
6938 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
6939 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
6940 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
6941 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
6942 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
6945 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
6949 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
6950 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
6951 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
6952 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
6955 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
6958 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
6959 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
6960 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
6961 international characters are used.
6963 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
6964 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
6965 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
6969 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
6970 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
6971 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
6974 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
6975 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
6976 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
6977 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
6978 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
6979 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
6981 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
6982 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
6983 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
6984 be handled by the string table functions.
6986 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
6987 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
6988 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
6989 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
6990 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
6994 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
6995 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
6996 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
6997 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
6998 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
7000 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
7001 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
7002 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
7003 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
7006 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
7007 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
7008 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
7009 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
7010 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
7014 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
7015 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
7016 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
7017 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
7018 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
7019 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
7020 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
7021 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
7023 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
7024 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
7025 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
7028 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
7029 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
7030 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
7031 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
7032 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
7033 support to pkcs8 application.
7036 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
7037 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
7038 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
7039 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
7040 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
7041 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
7044 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
7045 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
7046 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
7047 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
7048 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
7052 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
7053 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
7054 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
7055 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
7059 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
7060 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
7061 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
7062 and any application specific purposes.
7064 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
7065 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
7066 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
7067 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
7068 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
7069 if the certificate is self signed.
7072 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
7073 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
7076 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
7077 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
7078 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
7079 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
7082 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
7083 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
7084 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
7085 Update documentation.
7088 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
7089 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
7090 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
7091 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
7092 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
7095 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
7097 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
7099 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
7100 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
7101 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
7102 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
7103 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
7104 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
7105 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
7106 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
7107 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
7108 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
7110 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
7112 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7113 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
7114 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
7115 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
7116 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
7118 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
7119 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
7120 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
7121 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
7122 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
7123 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
7124 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
7125 request additional information:
7126 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
7127 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
7129 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
7130 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
7131 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
7134 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
7135 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
7138 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
7141 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
7142 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
7144 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
7145 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
7146 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
7150 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
7151 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
7152 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
7154 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
7155 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
7156 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
7157 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
7158 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
7159 included in OpenSSL.
7162 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
7163 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
7164 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
7165 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
7166 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
7167 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
7170 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
7174 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
7175 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
7176 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
7177 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
7178 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
7182 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
7186 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
7187 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
7188 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
7189 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
7190 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
7191 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
7192 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
7193 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
7194 be maintained manually.
7196 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
7197 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
7198 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
7199 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
7200 work because people forget to call this function]
7201 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
7202 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
7203 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
7206 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
7207 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
7208 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
7209 should be discouraged from doing it.
7212 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
7213 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
7214 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
7215 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
7216 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
7217 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
7220 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
7221 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
7222 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
7224 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
7225 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
7226 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
7228 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
7229 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
7230 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
7231 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
7232 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
7233 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
7235 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
7236 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
7237 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
7239 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
7240 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
7243 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
7244 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
7245 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
7246 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
7249 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
7252 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
7253 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
7254 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
7255 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
7256 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
7257 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
7258 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
7259 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
7260 keys so we should be OK.
7262 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
7263 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
7264 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
7265 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
7266 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
7267 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
7268 stay in the name of compatibility.
7270 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
7271 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
7272 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
7274 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
7275 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
7276 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
7277 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
7278 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
7279 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
7283 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
7284 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
7285 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
7286 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
7287 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
7288 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
7289 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
7290 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
7291 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
7292 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
7293 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
7294 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
7295 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
7298 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
7301 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
7302 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
7303 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
7304 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
7305 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
7306 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
7307 single self signed certificate. This means that:
7308 openssl verify ss.pem
7309 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
7310 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
7314 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
7315 (and add it to external session representation).
7316 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
7317 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
7318 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
7319 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
7320 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
7321 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
7323 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
7325 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
7326 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
7327 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
7328 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
7330 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
7331 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
7332 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
7335 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
7336 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
7337 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
7341 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
7342 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
7343 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
7345 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
7346 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
7347 certificate auxiliary information.
7350 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
7354 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
7355 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
7356 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
7357 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
7358 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
7359 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
7360 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
7363 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
7364 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
7367 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
7368 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
7369 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
7370 manpages and fix a few bugs.
7373 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
7376 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
7377 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
7380 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
7381 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
7382 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
7383 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
7384 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
7385 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
7386 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
7387 using the new 'x509' options.
7389 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
7390 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
7391 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
7392 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
7396 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
7397 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
7398 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
7399 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
7400 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
7403 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
7404 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
7405 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
7406 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
7407 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
7408 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
7409 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
7410 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
7411 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
7412 the key length and effective key length are equal.
7415 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
7416 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
7417 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
7418 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
7419 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
7420 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
7421 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
7424 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
7425 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
7426 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
7427 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
7428 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
7429 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
7430 openssl.cnf for more info.
7433 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
7434 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
7435 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
7436 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
7437 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
7438 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
7439 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
7440 md should be large enough anyway.
7443 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
7444 for handling the random seed file.
7446 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
7448 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
7451 x509 (when signing).
7452 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
7453 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
7454 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
7456 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
7457 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
7458 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
7459 that support '-rand'.
7462 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
7463 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
7466 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
7467 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
7470 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
7471 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
7472 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
7473 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
7477 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
7478 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
7479 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
7480 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
7483 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
7484 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
7485 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
7486 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
7487 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
7488 print out all the purposes.
7491 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
7495 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
7496 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
7497 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
7498 single function call.
7501 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
7502 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
7505 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
7506 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
7507 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
7510 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
7511 when producing the local key id.
7512 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
7514 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
7515 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
7516 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
7520 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
7521 a public key to be input or output. For example:
7522 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
7523 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
7526 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
7527 in the message. This was handled by allowing
7528 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
7529 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
7531 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
7532 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
7533 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
7534 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
7536 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
7537 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
7538 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
7539 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
7540 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
7541 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
7542 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
7543 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
7544 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
7545 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
7546 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
7547 trivial: move one line.
7548 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
7550 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
7551 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
7552 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
7553 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
7554 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
7555 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
7556 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
7557 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
7558 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
7559 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
7560 with an event loop for example.
7563 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
7564 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
7565 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
7566 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
7567 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
7568 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
7569 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
7570 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
7571 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
7574 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
7575 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
7576 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
7577 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
7578 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
7579 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
7582 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
7583 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
7584 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
7585 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
7587 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
7588 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
7589 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
7590 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
7594 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
7595 (still largely untested)
7598 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
7599 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
7602 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
7603 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
7606 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
7607 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
7608 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
7611 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
7612 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
7613 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
7614 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
7615 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
7618 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
7621 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
7622 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
7623 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
7624 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
7625 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
7629 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
7630 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
7633 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
7636 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
7637 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
7638 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
7639 are otherwise ignored at present.
7642 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
7643 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
7644 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
7645 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
7646 copied until the next read.
7649 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
7650 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
7651 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
7654 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
7655 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
7656 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
7657 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
7658 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
7659 associated functions.
7662 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
7663 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
7664 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
7665 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
7666 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
7667 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
7668 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
7669 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
7670 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
7674 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
7675 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
7676 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
7677 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
7680 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
7681 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
7682 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
7683 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
7684 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
7688 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
7689 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
7693 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
7694 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
7695 extensions to be obtained and added.
7698 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
7699 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
7702 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
7704 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
7705 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7707 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
7708 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
7710 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
7714 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
7715 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
7716 DH parameters contain its length).
7718 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
7719 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
7720 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
7721 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
7722 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
7723 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
7724 utter importance to use
7725 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7727 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
7728 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
7729 attacks may become possible!
7732 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
7735 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
7736 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
7739 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
7740 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
7741 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
7745 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
7746 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
7747 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
7748 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
7749 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
7750 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
7751 private key operations.
7754 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
7757 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
7758 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
7760 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
7761 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
7762 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
7763 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
7764 the password callback is called.
7765 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
7767 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
7769 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
7770 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
7771 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
7772 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
7773 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
7774 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
7777 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
7778 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
7779 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
7780 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
7781 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
7782 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
7785 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
7788 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
7789 delete an unused file.
7792 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
7793 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
7794 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
7795 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
7798 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
7799 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
7800 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
7804 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
7805 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
7806 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
7808 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
7809 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
7810 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
7811 comparison" warnings.
7812 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
7815 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
7816 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
7817 derived keys are printed to stderr.
7820 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
7821 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
7823 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
7824 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
7826 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
7827 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
7828 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
7830 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
7831 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
7832 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
7833 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
7834 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
7836 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
7838 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
7839 The interface is as follows:
7840 Applications can use
7841 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
7842 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
7843 "off" is now the default.
7844 The library internally uses
7845 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
7846 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
7847 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
7849 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
7850 even the default) are now avoided.
7852 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
7853 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
7854 than just having a counter.
7856 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
7858 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
7862 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
7863 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
7864 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
7865 Initial "mode" flags are:
7867 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
7868 a single record has been written.
7869 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
7870 retries use the same buffer location.
7871 (But all of the contents must be
7875 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
7878 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
7879 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
7881 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
7882 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
7883 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
7886 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
7887 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
7889 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
7891 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
7892 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
7893 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
7894 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
7896 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
7897 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
7899 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
7900 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
7901 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
7902 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
7903 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
7904 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
7907 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
7908 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
7909 necessary function names.
7912 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
7913 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
7914 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
7915 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
7918 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
7919 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
7920 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
7923 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
7924 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
7925 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
7926 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
7928 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
7932 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
7933 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
7934 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
7937 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
7938 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
7942 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
7943 for the encoded length.
7944 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
7946 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
7949 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
7950 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
7951 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
7952 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
7955 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
7956 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
7957 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
7959 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
7960 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
7961 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
7965 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
7966 to use the new extension code.
7969 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
7970 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
7971 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
7975 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
7976 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
7977 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
7981 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
7984 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
7985 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
7986 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
7989 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
7990 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
7991 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
7992 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
7995 *) DES library cleanups.
7998 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
7999 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
8000 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
8001 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
8002 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
8006 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
8007 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
8010 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
8011 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
8012 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
8013 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
8014 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
8015 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
8016 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
8017 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
8018 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
8021 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
8022 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
8023 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
8024 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
8025 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
8026 value doesn't matter.
8029 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
8033 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
8034 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
8035 "linux-sparc" configuration.
8036 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
8038 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
8041 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
8042 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
8043 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8045 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
8046 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
8048 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
8051 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
8054 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
8057 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
8061 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
8063 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
8065 *) Updated some demos.
8066 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
8068 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
8071 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
8074 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
8077 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
8078 instead of using a fixed path.
8081 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
8084 *) Improvements for VMS support.
8088 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
8090 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
8091 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
8092 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8094 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
8095 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
8096 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
8097 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
8098 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
8099 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
8100 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
8101 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
8102 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
8103 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
8106 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
8107 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
8110 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
8111 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
8112 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
8113 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
8114 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
8116 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
8119 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
8120 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
8121 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
8124 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
8127 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
8128 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
8129 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
8130 key elements as negative integers.
8133 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
8134 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8137 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
8139 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
8140 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
8141 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
8144 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
8145 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
8146 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
8147 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
8148 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
8151 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
8154 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
8155 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
8156 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
8157 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8159 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
8160 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
8161 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
8163 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
8164 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
8165 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
8166 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
8167 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
8168 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
8169 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
8170 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
8171 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
8173 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
8174 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
8175 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
8176 does not influence s as it used to.
8178 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
8179 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
8180 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
8181 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
8182 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
8183 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
8186 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
8187 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
8188 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
8192 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
8193 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
8194 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
8198 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
8199 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
8200 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
8204 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
8205 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
8208 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
8209 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8214 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
8215 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8217 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
8218 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8220 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
8223 *) Update HPUX configuration.
8226 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
8227 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8229 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
8230 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
8231 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
8235 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
8236 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
8237 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
8238 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
8239 now it really counts the depth.
8242 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
8243 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
8244 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
8245 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
8246 didn't match the private key).
8248 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
8249 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
8250 connection using the SSL_CTX).
8253 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
8256 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
8260 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
8261 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
8262 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
8265 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
8268 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
8269 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
8270 such as /usr/local/bin.
8273 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
8274 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8276 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
8279 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
8280 extension adding in x509 utility.
8283 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
8286 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
8290 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
8293 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
8294 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
8295 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
8296 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
8297 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
8298 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
8299 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
8300 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
8301 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
8302 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
8305 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
8308 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
8309 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
8312 *) Fix some race conditions.
8315 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
8316 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
8319 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
8322 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
8323 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
8324 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
8325 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
8327 *) Fix lots of warnings.
8328 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8330 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
8331 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
8332 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8334 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
8335 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8337 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
8340 *) Fix typos in error codes.
8341 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
8343 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
8346 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
8347 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
8349 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
8350 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
8353 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
8354 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
8357 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
8358 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
8361 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
8362 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
8365 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
8366 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
8369 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
8370 support typesafe stack.
8373 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
8374 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
8376 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
8377 old X509V3 handling code.
8380 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
8383 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
8386 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
8389 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
8390 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
8392 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
8393 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
8394 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
8395 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
8396 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
8399 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
8400 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
8401 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
8402 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
8403 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
8405 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
8406 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
8407 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
8408 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8410 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
8411 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
8412 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
8413 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8415 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
8416 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
8417 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
8418 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
8419 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
8420 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
8423 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
8424 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
8427 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
8428 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
8431 *) Tweaks to Configure
8432 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
8434 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
8438 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
8441 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
8442 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
8445 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
8446 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
8447 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
8450 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
8453 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
8454 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
8457 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
8458 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
8459 to library startup routines.
8462 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
8463 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
8464 codes along the way.
8467 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
8468 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
8469 objects to objects.h
8472 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
8473 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
8476 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
8477 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
8479 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
8480 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
8481 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
8483 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
8484 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8485 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8487 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
8488 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
8489 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
8492 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
8494 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
8495 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
8498 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
8499 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
8500 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
8501 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
8502 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
8504 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
8505 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
8506 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
8508 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8510 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
8512 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
8514 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
8515 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8517 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
8518 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
8519 if someone would make that last step automatic.
8520 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
8522 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
8525 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
8526 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
8527 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
8528 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
8531 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
8532 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
8533 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
8536 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
8537 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
8538 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
8539 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
8540 installed as `perl').
8541 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8543 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
8544 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8546 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
8547 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
8548 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
8549 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
8550 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
8553 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
8556 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
8557 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
8558 is horrible: I feel ill....
8561 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
8562 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
8563 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
8564 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
8567 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
8568 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8570 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
8571 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
8572 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
8573 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8575 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
8576 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
8577 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
8578 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
8579 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
8580 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
8582 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8584 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
8585 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8587 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
8588 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
8590 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
8593 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
8594 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
8598 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
8599 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
8600 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
8601 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
8602 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
8603 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
8604 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
8605 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
8606 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
8607 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
8608 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8610 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
8613 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
8614 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
8615 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
8616 for linking it into DSOs.
8617 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8619 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
8623 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
8624 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
8625 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
8626 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
8627 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
8628 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8630 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
8631 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
8632 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
8633 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
8634 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
8635 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
8636 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8638 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
8639 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
8640 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
8644 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
8645 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
8646 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
8647 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
8650 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
8651 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
8652 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
8653 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
8654 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
8658 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
8659 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
8660 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
8661 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
8662 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8664 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
8665 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
8666 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8668 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
8669 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
8671 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
8672 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
8673 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
8674 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
8675 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
8678 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
8679 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
8680 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
8681 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
8682 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
8683 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
8684 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
8687 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
8689 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
8690 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
8693 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
8694 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
8696 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
8697 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
8700 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
8701 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
8702 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
8703 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
8704 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
8706 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
8707 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
8708 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
8709 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
8710 no way to reconfigure them.
8711 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
8712 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
8713 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
8714 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
8715 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
8716 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8718 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
8719 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
8720 recognized by the users.
8721 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8723 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
8724 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
8725 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
8726 already masked variable.
8727 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8729 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
8730 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8732 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
8733 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
8734 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
8735 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8737 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
8738 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
8739 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8741 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
8742 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
8743 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
8744 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
8745 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
8746 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
8747 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
8748 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
8750 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8752 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
8753 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
8754 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8756 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
8757 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
8761 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
8762 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
8764 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
8765 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
8766 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
8767 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
8770 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
8773 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
8774 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8776 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
8779 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
8780 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
8783 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
8784 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
8787 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
8788 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
8789 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
8790 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
8791 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
8792 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
8793 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
8796 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
8797 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8799 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
8800 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
8801 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
8802 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
8803 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8805 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
8806 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
8807 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
8810 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
8811 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
8815 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
8816 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
8817 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
8819 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
8820 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
8821 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
8825 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
8826 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
8827 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
8828 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
8831 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
8832 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
8833 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
8834 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
8837 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
8838 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
8839 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
8840 so it wasn't spotted.
8841 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
8843 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
8844 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
8845 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
8846 vectors if you have them.
8849 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
8850 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
8853 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
8854 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
8855 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
8856 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
8858 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
8859 it will update them.
8862 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
8863 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
8864 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
8865 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
8866 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
8867 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
8868 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
8869 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8871 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
8872 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
8873 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
8874 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
8875 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
8876 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
8877 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
8878 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
8879 the crypto/md/ stuff).
8880 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8882 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
8883 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
8884 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
8885 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
8886 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
8889 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
8893 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
8894 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8896 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
8897 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
8899 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
8900 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
8903 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
8904 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
8906 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
8907 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
8909 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
8912 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
8916 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
8917 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
8918 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
8919 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
8921 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8924 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
8927 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
8930 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
8931 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
8934 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
8935 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
8939 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
8940 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
8943 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
8944 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
8945 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
8948 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
8949 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
8950 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
8951 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
8952 properly to be processed.
8955 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
8956 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
8957 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
8960 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
8961 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
8963 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
8964 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
8965 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
8966 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
8967 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
8968 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
8969 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
8970 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
8971 or delete all the .err files.
8974 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
8975 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
8976 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
8977 to regenerate it if needed.
8978 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
8979 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
8981 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
8982 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8984 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
8985 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
8986 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
8987 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
8988 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
8991 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
8992 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
8994 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
8995 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
8997 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
8998 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
8999 error, but didn't set one).
9000 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9002 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
9005 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
9006 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
9009 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
9010 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
9012 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
9013 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
9014 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
9015 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
9016 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
9017 OID is not part of the table.
9020 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
9021 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
9024 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
9027 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
9028 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
9032 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
9033 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
9035 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
9037 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9039 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
9040 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9042 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
9043 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9045 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
9046 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
9048 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
9049 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
9052 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
9053 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
9056 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
9057 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9059 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
9060 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9062 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
9063 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9065 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
9066 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9068 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
9069 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
9070 unused in the certificate verification process.
9071 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9073 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
9074 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
9077 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
9078 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
9079 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
9081 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
9082 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
9083 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
9084 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
9085 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
9087 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
9088 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
9091 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
9094 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
9097 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
9098 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
9100 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
9103 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
9106 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
9109 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
9110 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
9111 other error libraries.
9114 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
9117 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
9118 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
9122 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
9123 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
9124 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
9125 the new set of documenation files.
9126 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9128 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
9129 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
9130 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
9131 number of arguments.
9132 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
9134 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
9137 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
9138 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
9139 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9141 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
9144 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
9148 unixware-2.0-pentium
9152 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
9153 before they are needed.
9156 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
9160 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
9162 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
9163 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
9164 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9166 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
9169 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
9170 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
9171 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9173 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
9174 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
9175 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
9177 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
9178 when "ssleay" is still not found.
9179 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9181 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
9182 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
9184 *) Updated the README file.
9185 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9187 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
9188 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
9189 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9191 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
9192 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
9193 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9195 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
9196 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
9197 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
9198 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
9199 o removed obsolete TODO file
9200 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
9201 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9203 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
9204 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
9205 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

9208 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
9209 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9211 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
9214 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
9215 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
9216 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
9218 [The OpenSSL Project]
9221 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
9223 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
9226 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
9229 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
9230 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
9233 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
9234 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
9238 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
9240 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
9242 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
9245 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
9248 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
9251 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
9254 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
9257 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
9260 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
9263 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
9266 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
9269 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
9272 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
9275 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
9278 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
9281 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
9284 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
9287 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
9290 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
9293 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
9294 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
9295 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
9298 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
9299 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
9302 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
9305 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
9308 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
9309 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
9312 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
9315 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
9318 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
9319 bytes sent in the client random.
