5 Changes between 1.0.1q and 1.0.1r [xx XXX xxxx]
7 *) SSLv2 doesn't block disabled ciphers
9 A malicious client can negotiate SSLv2 ciphers that have been disabled on
10 the server and complete SSLv2 handshakes even if all SSLv2 ciphers have
11 been disabled, provided that the SSLv2 protocol was not also disabled via
14 This issue was reported to OpenSSL on 26th December 2015 by Nimrod Aviram
15 and Sebastian Schinzel.
19 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 1024 bits.
22 Changes between 1.0.1p and 1.0.1q [3 Dec 2015]
24 *) Certificate verify crash with missing PSS parameter
26 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer
27 dereference if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS
28 algorithm and absent mask generation function parameter. Since these
29 routines are used to verify certificate signature algorithms this can be
30 used to crash any certificate verification operation and exploited in a
31 DoS attack. Any application which performs certificate verification is
32 vulnerable including OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client
35 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Loïc Jonas Etienne (Qnective AG).
39 *) X509_ATTRIBUTE memory leak
41 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure OpenSSL will leak
42 memory. This structure is used by the PKCS#7 and CMS routines so any
43 application which reads PKCS#7 or CMS data from untrusted sources is
44 affected. SSL/TLS is not affected.
46 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley (Google/BoringSSL) using
51 *) Rewrite EVP_DecodeUpdate (base64 decoding) to fix several bugs.
52 This changes the decoding behaviour for some invalid messages,
53 though the change is mostly in the more lenient direction, and
54 legacy behaviour is preserved as much as possible.
57 *) In DSA_generate_parameters_ex, if the provided seed is too short,
59 [Rich Salz and Ismo Puustinen <ismo.puustinen@intel.com>]
61 Changes between 1.0.1o and 1.0.1p [9 Jul 2015]
63 *) Alternate chains certificate forgery
65 During certificate verfification, OpenSSL will attempt to find an
66 alternative certificate chain if the first attempt to build such a chain
67 fails. An error in the implementation of this logic can mean that an
68 attacker could cause certain checks on untrusted certificates to be
69 bypassed, such as the CA flag, enabling them to use a valid leaf
70 certificate to act as a CA and "issue" an invalid certificate.
72 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Adam Langley/David Benjamin
77 *) Race condition handling PSK identify hint
79 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then
80 the values are wrongly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. This can
81 result in a race condition potentially leading to a double free of the
86 Changes between 1.0.1n and 1.0.1o [12 Jun 2015]
87 *) Fix HMAC ABI incompatibility. The previous version introduced an ABI
88 incompatibility in the handling of HMAC. The previous ABI has now been
91 Changes between 1.0.1m and 1.0.1n [11 Jun 2015]
93 *) Malformed ECParameters causes infinite loop
95 When processing an ECParameters structure OpenSSL enters an infinite loop
96 if the curve specified is over a specially malformed binary polynomial
99 This can be used to perform denial of service against any
100 system which processes public keys, certificate requests or
101 certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with
102 client authentication enabled.
104 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Joseph Barr-Pixton.
108 *) Exploitable out-of-bounds read in X509_cmp_time
110 X509_cmp_time does not properly check the length of the ASN1_TIME
111 string and can read a few bytes out of bounds. In addition,
112 X509_cmp_time accepts an arbitrary number of fractional seconds in the
115 An attacker can use this to craft malformed certificates and CRLs of
116 various sizes and potentially cause a segmentation fault, resulting in
117 a DoS on applications that verify certificates or CRLs. TLS clients
118 that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client
119 authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification
122 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Robert Swiecki (Google), and
123 independently by Hanno Böck.
127 *) PKCS7 crash with missing EnvelopedContent
129 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing inner EncryptedContent
130 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs
131 with missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
133 Applications that decrypt PKCS#7 data or otherwise parse PKCS#7
134 structures from untrusted sources are affected. OpenSSL clients and
135 servers are not affected.
137 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
141 *) CMS verify infinite loop with unknown hash function
143 When verifying a signedData message the CMS code can enter an infinite loop
144 if presented with an unknown hash function OID. This can be used to perform
145 denial of service against any system which verifies signedData messages using
147 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Johannes Bauer.
151 *) Race condition handling NewSessionTicket
153 If a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to
154 reuse a previous ticket then a race condition can occur potentially leading to
155 a double free of the ticket data.
159 *) Reject DH handshakes with parameters shorter than 768 bits.
160 [Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper]
162 *) dhparam: generate 2048-bit parameters by default.
163 [Kurt Roeckx and Emilia Kasper]
165 Changes between 1.0.1l and 1.0.1m [19 Mar 2015]
167 *) Segmentation fault in ASN1_TYPE_cmp fix
169 The function ASN1_TYPE_cmp will crash with an invalid read if an attempt is
170 made to compare ASN.1 boolean types. Since ASN1_TYPE_cmp is used to check
171 certificate signature algorithm consistency this can be used to crash any
172 certificate verification operation and exploited in a DoS attack. Any
173 application which performs certificate verification is vulnerable including
174 OpenSSL clients and servers which enable client authentication.
178 *) ASN.1 structure reuse memory corruption fix
180 Reusing a structure in ASN.1 parsing may allow an attacker to cause
181 memory corruption via an invalid write. Such reuse is and has been
182 strongly discouraged and is believed to be rare.
184 Applications that parse structures containing CHOICE or ANY DEFINED BY
185 components may be affected. Certificate parsing (d2i_X509 and related
186 functions) are however not affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are
191 *) PKCS7 NULL pointer dereferences fix
193 The PKCS#7 parsing code does not handle missing outer ContentInfo
194 correctly. An attacker can craft malformed ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with
195 missing content and trigger a NULL pointer dereference on parsing.
197 Applications that verify PKCS#7 signatures, decrypt PKCS#7 data or
198 otherwise parse PKCS#7 structures from untrusted sources are
199 affected. OpenSSL clients and servers are not affected.
201 This issue was reported to OpenSSL by Michal Zalewski (Google).
205 *) DoS via reachable assert in SSLv2 servers fix
207 A malicious client can trigger an OPENSSL_assert (i.e., an abort) in
208 servers that both support SSLv2 and enable export cipher suites by sending
209 a specially crafted SSLv2 CLIENT-MASTER-KEY message.
211 This issue was discovered by Sean Burford (Google) and Emilia Käsper
212 (OpenSSL development team).
216 *) Use After Free following d2i_ECPrivatekey error fix
218 A malformed EC private key file consumed via the d2i_ECPrivateKey function
219 could cause a use after free condition. This, in turn, could cause a double
220 free in several private key parsing functions (such as d2i_PrivateKey
221 or EVP_PKCS82PKEY) and could lead to a DoS attack or memory corruption
222 for applications that receive EC private keys from untrusted
223 sources. This scenario is considered rare.
225 This issue was discovered by the BoringSSL project and fixed in their
230 *) X509_to_X509_REQ NULL pointer deref fix
232 The function X509_to_X509_REQ will crash with a NULL pointer dereference if
233 the certificate key is invalid. This function is rarely used in practice.
235 This issue was discovered by Brian Carpenter.
239 *) Removed the export ciphers from the DEFAULT ciphers
242 Changes between 1.0.1k and 1.0.1l [15 Jan 2015]
244 *) Build fixes for the Windows and OpenVMS platforms
245 [Matt Caswell and Richard Levitte]
247 Changes between 1.0.1j and 1.0.1k [8 Jan 2015]
249 *) Fix DTLS segmentation fault in dtls1_get_record. A carefully crafted DTLS
250 message can cause a segmentation fault in OpenSSL due to a NULL pointer
251 dereference. This could lead to a Denial Of Service attack. Thanks to
252 Markus Stenberg of Cisco Systems, Inc. for reporting this issue.
256 *) Fix DTLS memory leak in dtls1_buffer_record. A memory leak can occur in the
257 dtls1_buffer_record function under certain conditions. In particular this
258 could occur if an attacker sent repeated DTLS records with the same
259 sequence number but for the next epoch. The memory leak could be exploited
260 by an attacker in a Denial of Service attack through memory exhaustion.
261 Thanks to Chris Mueller for reporting this issue.
265 *) Fix issue where no-ssl3 configuration sets method to NULL. When openssl is
266 built with the no-ssl3 option and a SSL v3 ClientHello is received the ssl
267 method would be set to NULL which could later result in a NULL pointer
268 dereference. Thanks to Frank Schmirler for reporting this issue.
272 *) Abort handshake if server key exchange message is omitted for ephemeral
275 Thanks to Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA for
276 reporting this issue.
280 *) Remove non-export ephemeral RSA code on client and server. This code
281 violated the TLS standard by allowing the use of temporary RSA keys in
282 non-export ciphersuites and could be used by a server to effectively
283 downgrade the RSA key length used to a value smaller than the server
284 certificate. Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at
285 INRIA or reporting this issue.
289 *) Fixed issue where DH client certificates are accepted without verification.
290 An OpenSSL server will accept a DH certificate for client authentication
291 without the certificate verify message. This effectively allows a client to
292 authenticate without the use of a private key. This only affects servers
293 which trust a client certificate authority which issues certificates
294 containing DH keys: these are extremely rare and hardly ever encountered.
295 Thanks for Karthikeyan Bhargavan of the PROSECCO team at INRIA or reporting
300 *) Ensure that the session ID context of an SSL is updated when its
301 SSL_CTX is updated via SSL_set_SSL_CTX.
303 The session ID context is typically set from the parent SSL_CTX,
304 and can vary with the CTX.
307 *) Fix various certificate fingerprint issues.
309 By using non-DER or invalid encodings outside the signed portion of a
310 certificate the fingerprint can be changed without breaking the signature.
311 Although no details of the signed portion of the certificate can be changed
312 this can cause problems with some applications: e.g. those using the
313 certificate fingerprint for blacklists.
315 1. Reject signatures with non zero unused bits.
317 If the BIT STRING containing the signature has non zero unused bits reject
318 the signature. All current signature algorithms require zero unused bits.
320 2. Check certificate algorithm consistency.
322 Check the AlgorithmIdentifier inside TBS matches the one in the
323 certificate signature. NB: this will result in signature failure
324 errors for some broken certificates.
326 Thanks to Konrad Kraszewski from Google for reporting this issue.
328 3. Check DSA/ECDSA signatures use DER.
330 Reencode DSA/ECDSA signatures and compare with the original received
331 signature. Return an error if there is a mismatch.
333 This will reject various cases including garbage after signature
334 (thanks to Antti Karjalainen and Tuomo Untinen from the Codenomicon CROSS
335 program for discovering this case) and use of BER or invalid ASN.1 INTEGERs
336 (negative or with leading zeroes).
338 Further analysis was conducted and fixes were developed by Stephen Henson
339 of the OpenSSL core team.
344 *) Correct Bignum squaring. Bignum squaring (BN_sqr) may produce incorrect
345 results on some platforms, including x86_64. This bug occurs at random
346 with a very low probability, and is not known to be exploitable in any
347 way, though its exact impact is difficult to determine. Thanks to Pieter
348 Wuille (Blockstream) who reported this issue and also suggested an initial
349 fix. Further analysis was conducted by the OpenSSL development team and
350 Adam Langley of Google. The final fix was developed by Andy Polyakov of
351 the OpenSSL core team.
355 *) Do not resume sessions on the server if the negotiated protocol
356 version does not match the session's version. Resuming with a different
357 version, while not strictly forbidden by the RFC, is of questionable
358 sanity and breaks all known clients.
359 [David Benjamin, Emilia Käsper]
361 *) Tighten handling of the ChangeCipherSpec (CCS) message: reject
362 early CCS messages during renegotiation. (Note that because
363 renegotiation is encrypted, this early CCS was not exploitable.)
366 *) Tighten client-side session ticket handling during renegotiation:
367 ensure that the client only accepts a session ticket if the server sends
368 the extension anew in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
369 reuse the old extension state and thus accept a session ticket if one was
370 announced in the initial ServerHello.
372 Similarly, ensure that the client requires a session ticket if one
373 was advertised in the ServerHello. Previously, a TLS client would
374 ignore a missing NewSessionTicket message.
377 Changes between 1.0.1i and 1.0.1j [15 Oct 2014]
381 A flaw in the DTLS SRTP extension parsing code allows an attacker, who
382 sends a carefully crafted handshake message, to cause OpenSSL to fail
383 to free up to 64k of memory causing a memory leak. This could be
384 exploited in a Denial Of Service attack. This issue affects OpenSSL
385 1.0.1 server implementations for both SSL/TLS and DTLS regardless of
386 whether SRTP is used or configured. Implementations of OpenSSL that
387 have been compiled with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP defined are not affected.
389 The fix was developed by the OpenSSL team.
393 *) Session Ticket Memory Leak.
395 When an OpenSSL SSL/TLS/DTLS server receives a session ticket the
396 integrity of that ticket is first verified. In the event of a session
397 ticket integrity check failing, OpenSSL will fail to free memory
398 causing a memory leak. By sending a large number of invalid session
399 tickets an attacker could exploit this issue in a Denial Of Service
404 *) Build option no-ssl3 is incomplete.
406 When OpenSSL is configured with "no-ssl3" as a build option, servers
407 could accept and complete a SSL 3.0 handshake, and clients could be
408 configured to send them.
410 [Akamai and the OpenSSL team]
412 *) Add support for TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV.
413 Client applications doing fallback retries should call
414 SSL_set_mode(s, SSL_MODE_SEND_FALLBACK_SCSV).
416 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
418 *) Add additional DigestInfo checks.
420 Reencode DigestInto in DER and check against the original when
421 verifying RSA signature: this will reject any improperly encoded
422 DigestInfo structures.
424 Note: this is a precautionary measure and no attacks are currently known.
428 Changes between 1.0.1h and 1.0.1i [6 Aug 2014]
430 *) Fix SRP buffer overrun vulnerability. Invalid parameters passed to the
431 SRP code can be overrun an internal buffer. Add sanity check that
432 g, A, B < N to SRP code.
434 Thanks to Sean Devlin and Watson Ladd of Cryptography Services, NCC
435 Group for discovering this issue.
439 *) A flaw in the OpenSSL SSL/TLS server code causes the server to negotiate
440 TLS 1.0 instead of higher protocol versions when the ClientHello message
441 is badly fragmented. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to force a
442 downgrade to TLS 1.0 even if both the server and the client support a
443 higher protocol version, by modifying the client's TLS records.
445 Thanks to David Benjamin and Adam Langley (Google) for discovering and
446 researching this issue.
450 *) OpenSSL DTLS clients enabling anonymous (EC)DH ciphersuites are subject
451 to a denial of service attack. A malicious server can crash the client
452 with a null pointer dereference (read) by specifying an anonymous (EC)DH
453 ciphersuite and sending carefully crafted handshake messages.
455 Thanks to Felix Gröbert (Google) for discovering and researching this
460 *) By sending carefully crafted DTLS packets an attacker could cause openssl
461 to leak memory. This can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
462 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
466 *) An attacker can force openssl to consume large amounts of memory whilst
467 processing DTLS handshake messages. This can be exploited through a
468 Denial of Service attack.
469 Thanks to Adam Langley for discovering and researching this issue.
473 *) An attacker can force an error condition which causes openssl to crash
474 whilst processing DTLS packets due to memory being freed twice. This
475 can be exploited through a Denial of Service attack.
476 Thanks to Adam Langley and Wan-Teh Chang for discovering and researching
481 *) If a multithreaded client connects to a malicious server using a resumed
482 session and the server sends an ec point format extension it could write
483 up to 255 bytes to freed memory.
485 Thanks to Gabor Tyukasz (LogMeIn Inc) for discovering and researching this
490 *) A malicious server can crash an OpenSSL client with a null pointer
491 dereference (read) by specifying an SRP ciphersuite even though it was not
492 properly negotiated with the client. This can be exploited through a
493 Denial of Service attack.
495 Thanks to Joonas Kuorilehto and Riku Hietamäki (Codenomicon) for
496 discovering and researching this issue.
500 *) A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
501 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information
502 from the stack. Applications may be affected if they echo pretty printing
503 output to the attacker.
505 Thanks to Ivan Fratric (Google) for discovering this issue.
507 [Emilia Käsper, and Steve Henson]
509 *) Fix ec_GFp_simple_points_make_affine (thus, EC_POINTs_mul etc.)
510 for corner cases. (Certain input points at infinity could lead to
511 bogus results, with non-infinity inputs mapped to infinity too.)
514 Changes between 1.0.1g and 1.0.1h [5 Jun 2014]
516 *) Fix for SSL/TLS MITM flaw. An attacker using a carefully crafted
517 handshake can force the use of weak keying material in OpenSSL
518 SSL/TLS clients and servers.
520 Thanks to KIKUCHI Masashi (Lepidum Co. Ltd.) for discovering and
521 researching this issue. (CVE-2014-0224)
522 [KIKUCHI Masashi, Steve Henson]
524 *) Fix DTLS recursion flaw. By sending an invalid DTLS handshake to an
525 OpenSSL DTLS client the code can be made to recurse eventually crashing
528 Thanks to Imre Rad (Search-Lab Ltd.) for discovering this issue.
530 [Imre Rad, Steve Henson]
532 *) Fix DTLS invalid fragment vulnerability. A buffer overrun attack can
533 be triggered by sending invalid DTLS fragments to an OpenSSL DTLS
534 client or server. This is potentially exploitable to run arbitrary
535 code on a vulnerable client or server.
537 Thanks to Jüri Aedla for reporting this issue. (CVE-2014-0195)
538 [Jüri Aedla, Steve Henson]
540 *) Fix bug in TLS code where clients enable anonymous ECDH ciphersuites
541 are subject to a denial of service attack.
543 Thanks to Felix Gröbert and Ivan Fratric at Google for discovering
544 this issue. (CVE-2014-3470)
545 [Felix Gröbert, Ivan Fratric, Steve Henson]
547 *) Harmonize version and its documentation. -f flag is used to display
549 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
551 *) Fix eckey_priv_encode so it immediately returns an error upon a failure
553 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
555 *) Fix some double frees. These are not thought to be exploitable.
556 [mancha <mancha1@zoho.com>]
558 Changes between 1.0.1f and 1.0.1g [7 Apr 2014]
560 *) A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension
561 can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or
564 Thanks for Neel Mehta of Google Security for discovering this bug and to
565 Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> and Bodo Moeller <bmoeller@acm.org> for
566 preparing the fix (CVE-2014-0160)
567 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller]
569 *) Fix for the attack described in the paper "Recovering OpenSSL
570 ECDSA Nonces Using the FLUSH+RELOAD Cache Side-channel Attack"
571 by Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger. Details can be obtained from:
572 http://eprint.iacr.org/2014/140
574 Thanks to Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger for discovering this
575 flaw and to Yuval Yarom for supplying a fix (CVE-2014-0076)
576 [Yuval Yarom and Naomi Benger]
578 *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-03
580 Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
581 TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
582 less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
583 is at least 512 bytes long.
585 [Adam Langley, Steve Henson]
587 Changes between 1.0.1e and 1.0.1f [6 Jan 2014]
589 *) Fix for TLS record tampering bug. A carefully crafted invalid
590 handshake could crash OpenSSL with a NULL pointer exception.
591 Thanks to Anton Johansson for reporting this issues.
594 *) Keep original DTLS digest and encryption contexts in retransmission
595 structures so we can use the previous session parameters if they need
596 to be resent. (CVE-2013-6450)
599 *) Add option SSL_OP_SAFARI_ECDHE_ECDSA_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) which
600 avoids preferring ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers when the client appears to be
601 Safari on OS X. Safari on OS X 10.8..10.8.3 advertises support for
602 several ECDHE-ECDSA ciphers, but fails to negotiate them. The bug
603 is fixed in OS X 10.8.4, but Apple have ruled out both hot fixing
604 10.8..10.8.3 and forcing users to upgrade to 10.8.4 or newer.
605 [Rob Stradling, Adam Langley]
607 Changes between 1.0.1d and 1.0.1e [11 Feb 2013]
609 *) Correct fix for CVE-2013-0169. The original didn't work on AES-NI
610 supporting platforms or when small records were transferred.
611 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
613 Changes between 1.0.1c and 1.0.1d [5 Feb 2013]
615 *) Make the decoding of SSLv3, TLS and DTLS CBC records constant time.
617 This addresses the flaw in CBC record processing discovered by
618 Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson. Details of this attack can be found
619 at: http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/tls/
621 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
622 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
623 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and Adam Langley and
624 Emilia Käsper for the initial patch.
626 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Ben Laurie, Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
628 *) Fix flaw in AESNI handling of TLS 1.2 and 1.1 records for CBC mode
629 ciphersuites which can be exploited in a denial of service attack.
630 Thanks go to and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for discovering
631 and detecting this bug and to Wolfgang Ettlinger
632 <wolfgang.ettlinger@gmail.com> for independently discovering this issue.
636 *) Return an error when checking OCSP signatures when key is NULL.
637 This fixes a DoS attack. (CVE-2013-0166)
640 *) Make openssl verify return errors.
641 [Chris Palmer <palmer@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
643 *) Call OCSP Stapling callback after ciphersuite has been chosen, so
644 the right response is stapled. Also change SSL_get_certificate()
645 so it returns the certificate actually sent.
646 See http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=2836.
647 [Rob Stradling <rob.stradling@comodo.com>]
649 *) Fix possible deadlock when decoding public keys.
652 *) Don't use TLS 1.0 record version number in initial client hello
656 Changes between 1.0.1b and 1.0.1c [10 May 2012]
658 *) Sanity check record length before skipping explicit IV in TLS
659 1.2, 1.1 and DTLS to fix DoS attack.
661 Thanks to Codenomicon for discovering this issue using Fuzz-o-Matic
662 fuzzing as a service testing platform.
666 *) Initialise tkeylen properly when encrypting CMS messages.
667 Thanks to Solar Designer of Openwall for reporting this issue.
670 *) In FIPS mode don't try to use composite ciphers as they are not
674 Changes between 1.0.1a and 1.0.1b [26 Apr 2012]
676 *) OpenSSL 1.0.0 sets SSL_OP_ALL to 0x80000FFFL and OpenSSL 1.0.1 and
677 1.0.1a set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to 0x00000400L which would unfortunately
678 mean any application compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.0 headers setting
679 SSL_OP_ALL would also set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1, unintentionally disablng
680 TLS 1.1 also. Fix this by changing the value of SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 to
681 0x10000000L Any application which was previously compiled against
682 OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.1a headers and which cares about SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1
683 will need to be recompiled as a result. Letting be results in
684 inability to disable specifically TLS 1.1 and in client context,
685 in unlike event, limit maximum offered version to TLS 1.0 [see below].
688 *) In order to ensure interoperabilty SSL_OP_NO_protocolX does not
689 disable just protocol X, but all protocols above X *if* there are
690 protocols *below* X still enabled. In more practical terms it means
691 that if application wants to disable TLS1.0 in favor of TLS1.1 and
692 above, it's not sufficient to pass SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1, one has to pass
693 SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2. This applies to
697 Changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.1a [19 Apr 2012]
699 *) Check for potentially exploitable overflows in asn1_d2i_read_bio
700 BUF_mem_grow and BUF_mem_grow_clean. Refuse attempts to shrink buffer
701 in CRYPTO_realloc_clean.
703 Thanks to Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team, for discovering this
704 issue and to Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org> for fixing it.
706 [Adam Langley (Google), Tavis Ormandy, Google Security Team]
708 *) Don't allow TLS 1.2 SHA-256 ciphersuites in TLS 1.0, 1.1 connections.
711 *) Workarounds for some broken servers that "hang" if a client hello
712 record length exceeds 255 bytes.
714 1. Do not use record version number > TLS 1.0 in initial client
715 hello: some (but not all) hanging servers will now work.
716 2. If we set OPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH this will truncate
717 the number of ciphers sent in the client hello. This should be
718 set to an even number, such as 50, for example by passing:
719 -DOPENSSL_MAX_TLS1_2_CIPHER_LENGTH=50 to config or Configure.
720 Most broken servers should now work.
721 3. If all else fails setting OPENSSL_NO_TLS1_2_CLIENT will disable
722 TLS 1.2 client support entirely.
725 *) Fix SEGV in Vector Permutation AES module observed in OpenSSH.
728 Changes between 1.0.0h and 1.0.1 [14 Mar 2012]
730 *) Add compatibility with old MDC2 signatures which use an ASN1 OCTET
731 STRING form instead of a DigestInfo.
734 *) The format used for MDC2 RSA signatures is inconsistent between EVP
735 and the RSA_sign/RSA_verify functions. This was made more apparent when
736 OpenSSL used RSA_sign/RSA_verify for some RSA signatures in particular
737 those which went through EVP_PKEY_METHOD in 1.0.0 and later. Detect
738 the correct format in RSA_verify so both forms transparently work.
741 *) Some servers which support TLS 1.0 can choke if we initially indicate
742 support for TLS 1.2 and later renegotiate using TLS 1.0 in the RSA
743 encrypted premaster secret. As a workaround use the maximum pemitted
744 client version in client hello, this should keep such servers happy
745 and still work with previous versions of OpenSSL.
748 *) Add support for TLS/DTLS heartbeats.
749 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
751 *) Add support for SCTP.
752 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
754 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
755 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
757 *) Extensive assembler packs updates, most notably:
759 - x86[_64]: AES-NI, PCLMULQDQ, RDRAND support;
760 - x86[_64]: SSSE3 support (SHA1, vector-permutation AES);
761 - x86_64: bit-sliced AES implementation;
762 - ARM: NEON support, contemporary platforms optimizations;
763 - s390x: z196 support;
764 - *: GHASH and GF(2^m) multiplication implementations;
768 *) Make TLS-SRP code conformant with RFC 5054 API cleanup
769 (removal of unnecessary code)
770 [Peter Sylvester <peter.sylvester@edelweb.fr>]
772 *) Add TLS key material exporter from RFC 5705.
775 *) Add DTLS-SRTP negotiation from RFC 5764.
778 *) Add Next Protocol Negotiation,
779 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-agl-tls-nextprotoneg-00. Can be
780 disabled with a no-npn flag to config or Configure. Code donated
782 [Adam Langley <agl@google.com> and Ben Laurie]
784 *) Add optional 64-bit optimized implementations of elliptic curves NIST-P224,
785 NIST-P256, NIST-P521, with constant-time single point multiplication on
786 typical inputs. Compiler support for the nonstandard type __uint128_t is
787 required to use this (present in gcc 4.4 and later, for 64-bit builds).
788 Code made available under Apache License version 2.0.
790 Specify "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" on the Configure (or config) command
791 line to include this in your build of OpenSSL, and run "make depend" (or
792 "make update"). This enables the following EC_METHODs:
794 EC_GFp_nistp224_method()
795 EC_GFp_nistp256_method()
796 EC_GFp_nistp521_method()
798 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name() will automatically use these (while
799 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() currently prefers the more flexible
801 [Emilia Käsper, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
803 *) Use type ossl_ssize_t instad of ssize_t which isn't available on
804 all platforms. Move ssize_t definition from e_os.h to the public
805 header file e_os2.h as it now appears in public header file cms.h
808 *) New -sigopt option to the ca, req and x509 utilities. Additional
809 signature parameters can be passed using this option and in
813 *) Add RSA PSS signing function. This will generate and set the
814 appropriate AlgorithmIdentifiers for PSS based on those in the
815 corresponding EVP_MD_CTX structure. No application support yet.
818 *) Support for companion algorithm specific ASN1 signing routines.
819 New function ASN1_item_sign_ctx() signs a pre-initialised
820 EVP_MD_CTX structure and sets AlgorithmIdentifiers based on
821 the appropriate parameters.
824 *) Add new algorithm specific ASN1 verification initialisation function
825 to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD: this is not in EVP_PKEY_METHOD since the ASN1
826 handling will be the same no matter what EVP_PKEY_METHOD is used.
827 Add a PSS handler to support verification of PSS signatures: checked
828 against a number of sample certificates.
831 *) Add signature printing for PSS. Add PSS OIDs.
832 [Steve Henson, Martin Kaiser <lists@kaiser.cx>]
834 *) Add algorithm specific signature printing. An individual ASN1 method
835 can now print out signatures instead of the standard hex dump.
837 More complex signatures (e.g. PSS) can print out more meaningful
838 information. Include DSA version that prints out the signature
842 *) Password based recipient info support for CMS library: implementing
846 *) Split password based encryption into PBES2 and PBKDF2 functions. This
847 neatly separates the code into cipher and PBE sections and is required
848 for some algorithms that split PBES2 into separate pieces (such as
852 *) Session-handling fixes:
853 - Fix handling of connections that are resuming with a session ID,
854 but also support Session Tickets.
855 - Fix a bug that suppressed issuing of a new ticket if the client
856 presented a ticket with an expired session.
857 - Try to set the ticket lifetime hint to something reasonable.
858 - Make tickets shorter by excluding irrelevant information.
859 - On the client side, don't ignore renewed tickets.
860 [Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
862 *) Fix PSK session representation.
865 *) Add RC4-MD5 and AESNI-SHA1 "stitched" implementations.
867 This work was sponsored by Intel.
870 *) Add GCM support to TLS library. Some custom code is needed to split
871 the IV between the fixed (from PRF) and explicit (from TLS record)
872 portions. This adds all GCM ciphersuites supported by RFC5288 and
873 RFC5289. Generalise some AES* cipherstrings to inlclude GCM and
874 add a special AESGCM string for GCM only.
877 *) Expand range of ctrls for AES GCM. Permit setting invocation
878 field on decrypt and retrieval of invocation field only on encrypt.
881 *) Add HMAC ECC ciphersuites from RFC5289. Include SHA384 PRF support.
882 As required by RFC5289 these ciphersuites cannot be used if for
883 versions of TLS earlier than 1.2.
886 *) For FIPS capable OpenSSL interpret a NULL default public key method
887 as unset and return the appopriate default but do *not* set the default.
888 This means we can return the appopriate method in applications that
889 swicth between FIPS and non-FIPS modes.
892 *) Redirect HMAC and CMAC operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. If an
893 ENGINE is used then we cannot handle that in the FIPS module so we
894 keep original code iff non-FIPS operations are allowed.
897 *) Add -attime option to openssl utilities.
898 [Peter Eckersley <pde@eff.org>, Ben Laurie and Steve Henson]
900 *) Redirect DSA and DH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode.
903 *) Redirect ECDSA and ECDH operations to FIPS module in FIPS mode. Also use
904 FIPS EC methods unconditionally for now.
907 *) New build option no-ec2m to disable characteristic 2 code.
910 *) Backport libcrypto audit of return value checking from 1.1.0-dev; not
911 all cases can be covered as some introduce binary incompatibilities.
914 *) Redirect RSA operations to FIPS module including keygen,
915 encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify. Block use of non FIPS RSA methods.
918 *) Add similar low level API blocking to ciphers.
921 *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
922 to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that *really* want
923 to use them can use the private_* version instead.
926 *) Redirect cipher operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
929 *) Redirect digest operations to FIPS module for FIPS builds.
932 *) Update build system to add "fips" flag which will link in fipscanister.o
933 for static and shared library builds embedding a signature if needed.
936 *) Output TLS supported curves in preference order instead of numerical
937 order. This is currently hardcoded for the highest order curves first.
938 This should be configurable so applications can judge speed vs strength.
941 *) Add TLS v1.2 server support for client authentication.
944 *) Add support for FIPS mode in ssl library: disable SSLv3, non-FIPS ciphers
948 *) Functions FIPS_mode_set() and FIPS_mode() which call the underlying
949 FIPS modules versions.
952 *) Add TLS v1.2 client side support for client authentication. Keep cache
953 of handshake records longer as we don't know the hash algorithm to use
954 until after the certificate request message is received.
957 *) Initial TLS v1.2 client support. Add a default signature algorithms
958 extension including all the algorithms we support. Parse new signature
959 format in client key exchange. Relax some ECC signing restrictions for
960 TLS v1.2 as indicated in RFC5246.
963 *) Add server support for TLS v1.2 signature algorithms extension. Switch
964 to new signature format when needed using client digest preference.
965 All server ciphersuites should now work correctly in TLS v1.2. No client
966 support yet and no support for client certificates.
969 *) Initial TLS v1.2 support. Add new SHA256 digest to ssl code, switch
970 to SHA256 for PRF when using TLS v1.2 and later. Add new SHA256 based
971 ciphersuites. At present only RSA key exchange ciphersuites work with
972 TLS v1.2. Add new option for TLS v1.2 replacing the old and obsolete
973 SSL_OP_PKCS1_CHECK flags with SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2. New TLSv1.2 methods
974 and version checking.
977 *) New option OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN. If an application can be compiled
978 with this defined it will not be affected by any changes to ssl internal
979 structures. Add several utility functions to allow openssl application
980 to work with OPENSSL_NO_SSL_INTERN defined.
984 [Tom Wu <tjw@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
986 *) Add functions to copy EVP_PKEY_METHOD and retrieve flags and id.
989 *) Permit abbreviated handshakes when renegotiating using the function
990 SSL_renegotiate_abbreviated().
991 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>]
993 *) Add call to ENGINE_register_all_complete() to
994 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines(), so some implementations get used
995 automatically instead of needing explicit application support.
998 *) Add support for TLS key exporter as described in RFC5705.
999 [Robin Seggelmann <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de>, Steve Henson]
1001 *) Initial TLSv1.1 support. Since TLSv1.1 is very similar to TLS v1.0 only
1002 a few changes are required:
1004 Add SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1 flag.
1005 Add TLSv1_1 methods.
1006 Update version checking logic to handle version 1.1.
1007 Add explicit IV handling (ported from DTLS code).
1008 Add command line options to s_client/s_server.
1011 Changes between 1.0.0g and 1.0.0h [12 Mar 2012]
1013 *) Fix MMA (Bleichenbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 RSA padding) weakness
1014 in CMS and PKCS7 code. When RSA decryption fails use a random key for
1015 content decryption and always return the same error. Note: this attack
1016 needs on average 2^20 messages so it only affects automated senders. The
1017 old behaviour can be reenabled in the CMS code by setting the
1018 CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag: this is useful for debugging and testing where
1019 an MMA defence is not necessary.
1020 Thanks to Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering
1021 this issue. (CVE-2012-0884)
1024 *) Fix CVE-2011-4619: make sure we really are receiving a
1025 client hello before rejecting multiple SGC restarts. Thanks to
1026 Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com> for discovering this bug.
1029 Changes between 1.0.0f and 1.0.0g [18 Jan 2012]
1031 *) Fix for DTLS DoS issue introduced by fix for CVE-2011-4109.
1032 Thanks to Antonio Martin, Enterprise Secure Access Research and
1033 Development, Cisco Systems, Inc. for discovering this bug and
1034 preparing a fix. (CVE-2012-0050)
1037 Changes between 1.0.0e and 1.0.0f [4 Jan 2012]
1039 *) Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson have discovered an extension
1040 of the Vaudenay padding oracle attack on CBC mode encryption
1041 which enables an efficient plaintext recovery attack against
1042 the OpenSSL implementation of DTLS. Their attack exploits timing
1043 differences arising during decryption processing. A research
1044 paper describing this attack can be found at:
1045 http://www.isg.rhul.ac.uk/~kp/dtls.pdf
1046 Thanks go to Nadhem Alfardan and Kenny Paterson of the Information
1047 Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London
1048 (www.isg.rhul.ac.uk) for discovering this flaw and to Robin Seggelmann
1049 <seggelmann@fh-muenster.de> and Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>
1050 for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4108)
1051 [Robin Seggelmann, Michael Tuexen]
1053 *) Clear bytes used for block padding of SSL 3.0 records.
1055 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1057 *) Only allow one SGC handshake restart for SSL/TLS. Thanks to George
1058 Kadianakis <desnacked@gmail.com> for discovering this issue and
1059 Adam Langley for preparing the fix. (CVE-2011-4619)
1060 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1062 *) Check parameters are not NULL in GOST ENGINE. (CVE-2012-0027)
1063 [Andrey Kulikov <amdeich@gmail.com>]
1065 *) Prevent malformed RFC3779 data triggering an assertion failure.
1066 Thanks to Andrew Chi, BBN Technologies, for discovering the flaw
1067 and Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net> for fixing it. (CVE-2011-4577)
1068 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
1070 *) Improved PRNG seeding for VOS.
1071 [Paul Green <Paul.Green@stratus.com>]
1073 *) Fix ssl_ciph.c set-up race.
1074 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1076 *) Fix spurious failures in ecdsatest.c.
1077 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1079 *) Fix the BIO_f_buffer() implementation (which was mixing different
1080 interpretations of the '..._len' fields).
1081 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1083 *) Fix handling of BN_BLINDING: now BN_BLINDING_invert_ex (rather than
1084 BN_BLINDING_invert_ex) calls BN_BLINDING_update, ensuring that concurrent
1085 threads won't reuse the same blinding coefficients.
1087 This also avoids the need to obtain the CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA_BLINDING
1088 lock to call BN_BLINDING_invert_ex, and avoids one use of
1089 BN_BLINDING_update for each BN_BLINDING structure (previously,
1090 the last update always remained unused).
1091 [Emilia Käsper (Google)]
1093 *) In ssl3_clear, preserve s3->init_extra along with s3->rbuf.
1094 [Bob Buckholz (Google)]
1096 Changes between 1.0.0d and 1.0.0e [6 Sep 2011]
1098 *) Fix bug where CRLs with nextUpdate in the past are sometimes accepted
1099 by initialising X509_STORE_CTX properly. (CVE-2011-3207)
1100 [Kaspar Brand <ossl@velox.ch>]
1102 *) Fix SSL memory handling for (EC)DH ciphersuites, in particular
1103 for multi-threaded use of ECDH. (CVE-2011-3210)
1104 [Adam Langley (Google)]
1106 *) Fix x509_name_ex_d2i memory leak on bad inputs.
1109 *) Remove hard coded ecdsaWithSHA1 signature tests in ssl code and check
1110 signature public key algorithm by using OID xref utilities instead.
1111 Before this you could only use some ECC ciphersuites with SHA1 only.
1114 *) Add protection against ECDSA timing attacks as mentioned in the paper
1115 by Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri, see:
1117 http://eprint.iacr.org/2011/232.pdf
1119 [Billy Bob Brumley and Nicola Tuveri]
1121 Changes between 1.0.0c and 1.0.0d [8 Feb 2011]
1123 *) Fix parsing of OCSP stapling ClientHello extension. CVE-2011-0014
1124 [Neel Mehta, Adam Langley, Bodo Moeller (Google)]
1126 *) Fix bug in string printing code: if *any* escaping is enabled we must
1127 escape the escape character (backslash) or the resulting string is
1131 Changes between 1.0.0b and 1.0.0c [2 Dec 2010]
1133 *) Disable code workaround for ancient and obsolete Netscape browsers
1134 and servers: an attacker can use it in a ciphersuite downgrade attack.
1135 Thanks to Martin Rex for discovering this bug. CVE-2010-4180
1138 *) Fixed J-PAKE implementation error, originally discovered by
1139 Sebastien Martini, further info and confirmation from Stefan
1140 Arentz and Feng Hao. Note that this fix is a security fix. CVE-2010-4252
1143 Changes between 1.0.0a and 1.0.0b [16 Nov 2010]
1145 *) Fix extension code to avoid race conditions which can result in a buffer
1146 overrun vulnerability: resumed sessions must not be modified as they can
1147 be shared by multiple threads. CVE-2010-3864
1150 *) Fix WIN32 build system to correctly link an ENGINE directory into
1154 Changes between 1.0.0 and 1.0.0a [01 Jun 2010]
1156 *) Check return value of int_rsa_verify in pkey_rsa_verifyrecover
1158 [Steve Henson, Peter-Michael Hager <hager@dortmund.net>]
1160 Changes between 0.9.8n and 1.0.0 [29 Mar 2010]
1162 *) Add "missing" function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_copy(). This copies a cipher
1163 context. The operation can be customised via the ctrl mechanism in
1164 case ENGINEs want to include additional functionality.
1167 *) Tolerate yet another broken PKCS#8 key format: private key value negative.
1170 *) Add new -subject_hash_old and -issuer_hash_old options to x509 utility to
1171 output hashes compatible with older versions of OpenSSL.
1172 [Willy Weisz <weisz@vcpc.univie.ac.at>]
1174 *) Fix compression algorithm handling: if resuming a session use the
1175 compression algorithm of the resumed session instead of determining
1176 it from client hello again. Don't allow server to change algorithm.
1179 *) Add load_crls() function to apps tidying load_certs() too. Add option
1180 to verify utility to allow additional CRLs to be included.
1183 *) Update OCSP request code to permit adding custom headers to the request:
1184 some responders need this.
1187 *) The function EVP_PKEY_sign() returns <=0 on error: check return code
1189 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
1191 *) Update verify callback code in apps/s_cb.c and apps/verify.c, it
1192 needlessly dereferenced structures, used obsolete functions and
1193 didn't handle all updated verify codes correctly.
1196 *) Disable MD2 in the default configuration.
1199 *) In BIO_pop() and BIO_push() use the ctrl argument (which was NULL) to
1200 indicate the initial BIO being pushed or popped. This makes it possible
1201 to determine whether the BIO is the one explicitly called or as a result
1202 of the ctrl being passed down the chain. Fix BIO_pop() and SSL BIOs so
1203 it handles reference counts correctly and doesn't zero out the I/O bio
1204 when it is not being explicitly popped. WARNING: applications which
1205 included workarounds for the old buggy behaviour will need to be modified
1206 or they could free up already freed BIOs.
1209 *) Extend the uni2asc/asc2uni => OPENSSL_uni2asc/OPENSSL_asc2uni
1210 renaming to all platforms (within the 0.9.8 branch, this was
1211 done conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name clash).
1212 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
1214 *) Add ECDHE and PSK support to DTLS.
1215 [Michael Tuexen <tuexen@fh-muenster.de>]
1217 *) Add CHECKED_STACK_OF macro to safestack.h, otherwise safestack can't
1221 *) Add "missing" function EVP_MD_flags() (without this the only way to
1222 retrieve a digest flags is by accessing the structure directly. Update
1223 EVP_MD_do_all*() and EVP_CIPHER_do_all*() to include the name a digest
1224 or cipher is registered as in the "from" argument. Print out all
1225 registered digests in the dgst usage message instead of manually
1226 attempting to work them out.
1229 *) If no SSLv2 ciphers are used don't use an SSLv2 compatible client hello:
1230 this allows the use of compression and extensions. Change default cipher
1231 string to remove SSLv2 ciphersuites. This effectively avoids ancient SSLv2
1232 by default unless an application cipher string requests it.
1235 *) Alter match criteria in PKCS12_parse(). It used to try to use local
1236 key ids to find matching certificates and keys but some PKCS#12 files
1237 don't follow the (somewhat unwritten) rules and this strategy fails.
1238 Now just gather all certificates together and the first private key
1239 then look for the first certificate that matches the key.
1242 *) Support use of registered digest and cipher names for dgst and cipher
1243 commands instead of having to add each one as a special case. So now
1250 openssl dgst -sha256 foo
1252 and this works for ENGINE based algorithms too.
1256 *) Update Gost ENGINE to support parameter files.
1257 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1259 *) Support GeneralizedTime in ca utility.
1260 [Oliver Martin <oliver@volatilevoid.net>, Steve Henson]
1262 *) Enhance the hash format used for certificate directory links. The new
1263 form uses the canonical encoding (meaning equivalent names will work
1264 even if they aren't identical) and uses SHA1 instead of MD5. This form
1265 is incompatible with the older format and as a result c_rehash should
1266 be used to rebuild symbolic links.
1269 *) Make PKCS#8 the default write format for private keys, replacing the
1270 traditional format. This form is standardised, more secure and doesn't
1271 include an implicit MD5 dependency.
1274 *) Add a $gcc_devteam_warn option to Configure. The idea is that any code
1275 committed to OpenSSL should pass this lot as a minimum.
1278 *) Add session ticket override functionality for use by EAP-FAST.
1279 [Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>]
1281 *) Modify HMAC functions to return a value. Since these can be implemented
1282 in an ENGINE errors can occur.
1285 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch_ex.
1288 *) Type-checked OBJ_bsearch. Also some constification necessitated
1289 by type-checking. Still to come: TXT_DB, bsearch(?),
1290 OBJ_bsearch_ex, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE, ASN1_STRING,
1294 *) New function OPENSSL_gmtime_adj() to add a specific number of days and
1295 seconds to a tm structure directly, instead of going through OS
1296 specific date routines. This avoids any issues with OS routines such
1297 as the year 2038 bug. New *_adj() functions for ASN1 time structures
1298 and X509_time_adj_ex() to cover the extended range. The existing
1299 X509_time_adj() is still usable and will no longer have any date issues.
1302 *) Delta CRL support. New use deltas option which will attempt to locate
1303 and search any appropriate delta CRLs available.
1305 This work was sponsored by Google.
1308 *) Support for CRLs partitioned by reason code. Reorganise CRL processing
1309 code and add additional score elements. Validate alternate CRL paths
1310 as part of the CRL checking and indicate a new error "CRL path validation
1311 error" in this case. Applications wanting additional details can use
1312 the verify callback and check the new "parent" field. If this is not
1313 NULL CRL path validation is taking place. Existing applications wont
1314 see this because it requires extended CRL support which is off by
1317 This work was sponsored by Google.
1320 *) Support for freshest CRL extension.
1322 This work was sponsored by Google.
1325 *) Initial indirect CRL support. Currently only supported in the CRLs
1326 passed directly and not via lookup. Process certificate issuer
1327 CRL entry extension and lookup CRL entries by bother issuer name
1328 and serial number. Check and process CRL issuer entry in IDP extension.
1330 This work was sponsored by Google.
1333 *) Add support for distinct certificate and CRL paths. The CRL issuer
1334 certificate is validated separately in this case. Only enabled if
1335 an extended CRL support flag is set: this flag will enable additional
1336 CRL functionality in future.
1338 This work was sponsored by Google.
1341 *) Add support for policy mappings extension.
1343 This work was sponsored by Google.
1346 *) Fixes to pathlength constraint, self issued certificate handling,
1347 policy processing to align with RFC3280 and PKITS tests.
1349 This work was sponsored by Google.
1352 *) Support for name constraints certificate extension. DN, email, DNS
1353 and URI types are currently supported.
1355 This work was sponsored by Google.
1358 *) To cater for systems that provide a pointer-based thread ID rather
1359 than numeric, deprecate the current numeric thread ID mechanism and
1360 replace it with a structure and associated callback type. This
1361 mechanism allows a numeric "hash" to be extracted from a thread ID in
1362 either case, and on platforms where pointers are larger than 'long',
1363 mixing is done to help ensure the numeric 'hash' is usable even if it
1364 can't be guaranteed unique. The default mechanism is to use "&errno"
1365 as a pointer-based thread ID to distinguish between threads.
1367 Applications that want to provide their own thread IDs should now use
1368 CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback() to register a callback that will call
1369 either CRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric() or CRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer().
1371 Note that ERR_remove_state() is now deprecated, because it is tied
1372 to the assumption that thread IDs are numeric. ERR_remove_state(0)
1373 to free the current thread's error state should be replaced by
1374 ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
1376 (This new approach replaces the functions CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback(),
1377 CRYPTO_get_idptr_callback(), and CRYPTO_thread_idptr() that existed in
1378 OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev between June 2006 and August 2008. Also, if an
1379 application was previously providing a numeric thread callback that
1380 was inappropriate for distinguishing threads, then uniqueness might
1381 have been obtained with &errno that happened immediately in the
1382 intermediate development versions of OpenSSL; this is no longer the
1383 case, the numeric thread callback will now override the automatic use
1385 [Geoff Thorpe, with help from Bodo Moeller]
1387 *) Initial support for different CRL issuing certificates. This covers a
1388 simple case where the self issued certificates in the chain exist and
1389 the real CRL issuer is higher in the existing chain.
1391 This work was sponsored by Google.
1394 *) Removed effectively defunct crypto/store from the build.
1397 *) Revamp of STACK to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1398 TXT_DB, bsearch(?), OBJ_bsearch, qsort, CRYPTO_EX_DATA, ASN1_VALUE,
1399 ASN1_STRING, CONF_VALUE.
1402 *) Add a new SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS mode flag to release unused buffer
1403 RAM on SSL connections. This option can save about 34k per idle SSL.
1406 *) Revamp of LHASH to provide stronger type-checking. Still to come:
1407 STACK, TXT_DB, bsearch, qsort.
1410 *) Initial support for Cryptographic Message Syntax (aka CMS) based
1411 on RFC3850, RFC3851 and RFC3852. New cms directory and cms utility,
1412 support for data, signedData, compressedData, digestedData and
1413 encryptedData, envelopedData types included. Scripts to check against
1414 RFC4134 examples draft and interop and consistency checks of many
1415 content types and variants.
1418 *) Add options to enc utility to support use of zlib compression BIO.
1421 *) Extend mk1mf to support importing of options and assembly language
1422 files from Configure script, currently only included in VC-WIN32.
1423 The assembly language rules can now optionally generate the source
1424 files from the associated perl scripts.
1427 *) Implement remaining functionality needed to support GOST ciphersuites.
1428 Interop testing has been performed using CryptoPro implementations.
1429 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1431 *) s390x assembler pack.
1434 *) ARMv4 assembler pack. ARMv4 refers to v4 and later ISA, not CPU
1438 *) Implement Opaque PRF Input TLS extension as specified in
1439 draft-rescorla-tls-opaque-prf-input-00.txt. Since this is not an
1440 official specification yet and no extension type assignment by
1441 IANA exists, this extension (for now) will have to be explicitly
1442 enabled when building OpenSSL by providing the extension number
1443 to use. For example, specify an option
1445 -DTLSEXT_TYPE_opaque_prf_input=0x9527
1447 to the "config" or "Configure" script to enable the extension,
1448 assuming extension number 0x9527 (which is a completely arbitrary
1449 and unofficial assignment based on the MD5 hash of the Internet
1450 Draft). Note that by doing so, you potentially lose
1451 interoperability with other TLS implementations since these might
1452 be using the same extension number for other purposes.
1454 SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input(ssl, src, len) is used to set the
1455 opaque PRF input value to use in the handshake. This will create
1456 an interal copy of the length-'len' string at 'src', and will
1457 return non-zero for success.
1459 To get more control and flexibility, provide a callback function
1462 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback(ctx, cb)
1463 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
1467 int (*cb)(SSL *, void *peerinput, size_t len, void *arg);
1470 Callback function 'cb' will be called in handshakes, and is
1471 expected to use SSL_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input() as appropriate.
1472 Argument 'arg' is for application purposes (the value as given to
1473 SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_opaque_prf_input_callback_arg() will directly
1474 be provided to the callback function). The callback function
1475 has to return non-zero to report success: usually 1 to use opaque
1476 PRF input just if possible, or 2 to enforce use of the opaque PRF
1477 input. In the latter case, the library will abort the handshake
1478 if opaque PRF input is not successfully negotiated.
1480 Arguments 'peerinput' and 'len' given to the callback function
1481 will always be NULL and 0 in the case of a client. A server will
1482 see the client's opaque PRF input through these variables if
1483 available (NULL and 0 otherwise). Note that if the server
1484 provides an opaque PRF input, the length must be the same as the
1485 length of the client's opaque PRF input.
1487 Note that the callback function will only be called when creating
1488 a new session (session resumption can resume whatever was
1489 previously negotiated), and will not be called in SSL 2.0
1490 handshakes; thus, SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) or
1491 SSL_set_options(ssl, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2) is especially recommended
1492 for applications that need to enforce opaque PRF input.
1496 *) Update ssl code to support digests other than SHA1+MD5 for handshake
1499 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>]
1501 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
1502 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
1503 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
1506 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
1507 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
1510 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
1511 protection in servers so again support should be possible
1512 with no application modification.
1514 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
1515 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
1517 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
1518 or server extensions to be examined.
1520 This work was sponsored by Google.
1523 *) Final changes to avoid use of pointer pointer casts in OpenSSL.
1524 OpenSSL should now compile cleanly on gcc 4.2
1525 [Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>, Steve Henson]
1527 *) Update SSL library to use new EVP_PKEY MAC API. Include generic MAC
1528 support including streaming MAC support: this is required for GOST
1529 ciphersuite support.
1530 [Victor B. Wagner <vitus@cryptocom.ru>, Steve Henson]
1532 *) Add option -stream to use PKCS#7 streaming in smime utility. New
1533 function i2d_PKCS7_bio_stream() and PEM_write_PKCS7_bio_stream()
1534 to output in BER and PEM format.
1537 *) Experimental support for use of HMAC via EVP_PKEY interface. This
1538 allows HMAC to be handled via the EVP_DigestSign*() interface. The
1539 EVP_PKEY "key" in this case is the HMAC key, potentially allowing
1540 ENGINE support for HMAC keys which are unextractable. New -mac and
1541 -macopt options to dgst utility.
1544 *) New option -sigopt to dgst utility. Update dgst to use
1545 EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify}*. These two changes make it possible to use
1546 alternative signing paramaters such as X9.31 or PSS in the dgst
1550 *) Change ssl_cipher_apply_rule(), the internal function that does
1551 the work each time a ciphersuite string requests enabling
1552 ("foo+bar"), moving ("+foo+bar"), disabling ("-foo+bar", or
1553 removing ("!foo+bar") a class of ciphersuites: Now it maintains
1554 the order of disabled ciphersuites such that those ciphersuites
1555 that most recently went from enabled to disabled not only stay
1556 in order with respect to each other, but also have higher priority
1557 than other disabled ciphersuites the next time ciphersuites are
1560 This means that you can now say, e.g., "PSK:-PSK:HIGH" to enable
1561 the same ciphersuites as with "HIGH" alone, but in a specific
1562 order where the PSK ciphersuites come first (since they are the
1563 most recently disabled ciphersuites when "HIGH" is parsed).
1565 Also, change ssl_create_cipher_list() (using this new
1566 funcionality) such that between otherwise identical
1567 cihpersuites, ephemeral ECDH is preferred over ephemeral DH in
1571 *) Change ssl_create_cipher_list() so that it automatically
1572 arranges the ciphersuites in reasonable order before starting
1573 to process the rule string. Thus, the definition for "DEFAULT"
1574 (SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST) now is just "ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL", but
1575 remains equivalent to "AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+aECDH:+kRSA:+RC4:@STRENGTH".
1576 This makes it much easier to arrive at a reasonable default order
1577 in applications for which anonymous ciphers are OK (meaning
1578 that you can't actually use DEFAULT).
1579 [Bodo Moeller; suggested by Victor Duchovni]
1581 *) Split the SSL/TLS algorithm mask (as used for ciphersuite string
1582 processing) into multiple integers instead of setting
1583 "SSL_MKEY_MASK" bits, "SSL_AUTH_MASK" bits, "SSL_ENC_MASK",
1584 "SSL_MAC_MASK", and "SSL_SSL_MASK" bits all in a single integer.
1585 (These masks as well as the individual bit definitions are hidden
1586 away into the non-exported interface ssl/ssl_locl.h, so this
1587 change to the definition of the SSL_CIPHER structure shouldn't
1588 affect applications.) This give us more bits for each of these
1589 categories, so there is no longer a need to coagulate AES128 and
1590 AES256 into a single algorithm bit, and to coagulate Camellia128
1591 and Camellia256 into a single algorithm bit, which has led to all
1594 Thus, among other things, the kludge introduced in 0.9.7m and
1595 0.9.8e for masking out AES256 independently of AES128 or masking
1596 out Camellia256 independently of AES256 is not needed here in 0.9.9.
1598 With the change, we also introduce new ciphersuite aliases that
1599 so far were missing: "AES128", "AES256", "CAMELLIA128", and
1603 *) Add support for dsa-with-SHA224 and dsa-with-SHA256.
1604 Use the leftmost N bytes of the signature input if the input is
1605 larger than the prime q (with N being the size in bytes of q).
1608 *) Very *very* experimental PKCS#7 streaming encoder support. Nothing uses
1609 it yet and it is largely untested.
1612 *) Add support for the ecdsa-with-SHA224/256/384/512 signature types.
1615 *) Initial incomplete changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL
1616 some compilers (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use. Safestack is
1617 reimplemented. Update ASN1 to avoid use of legacy functions.
1620 *) Win32/64 targets are linked with Winsock2.
1623 *) Add an X509_CRL_METHOD structure to allow CRL processing to be redirected
1624 to external functions. This can be used to increase CRL handling
1625 efficiency especially when CRLs are very large by (for example) storing
1626 the CRL revoked certificates in a database.
1629 *) Overhaul of by_dir code. Add support for dynamic loading of CRLs so
1630 new CRLs added to a directory can be used. New command line option
1631 -verify_return_error to s_client and s_server. This causes real errors
1632 to be returned by the verify callback instead of carrying on no matter
1633 what. This reflects the way a "real world" verify callback would behave.
1636 *) GOST engine, supporting several GOST algorithms and public key formats.
1637 Kindly donated by Cryptocom.
1640 *) Partial support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension. CRLs
1641 partitioned by DP are handled but no indirect CRL or reason partitioning
1642 (yet). Complete overhaul of CRL handling: now the most suitable CRL is
1643 selected via a scoring technique which handles IDP and AKID in CRLs.
1646 *) New X509_STORE_CTX callbacks lookup_crls() and lookup_certs() which
1647 will ultimately be used for all verify operations: this will remove the
1648 X509_STORE dependency on certificate verification and allow alternative
1649 lookup methods. X509_STORE based implementations of these two callbacks.
1652 *) Allow multiple CRLs to exist in an X509_STORE with matching issuer names.
1653 Modify get_crl() to find a valid (unexpired) CRL if possible.
1656 *) New function X509_CRL_match() to check if two CRLs are identical. Normally
1657 this would be called X509_CRL_cmp() but that name is already used by
1658 a function that just compares CRL issuer names. Cache several CRL
1659 extensions in X509_CRL structure and cache CRLDP in X509.
1662 *) Store a "canonical" representation of X509_NAME structure (ASN1 Name)
1663 this maps equivalent X509_NAME structures into a consistent structure.
1664 Name comparison can then be performed rapidly using memcmp().
1667 *) Non-blocking OCSP request processing. Add -timeout option to ocsp
1671 *) Allow digests to supply their own micalg string for S/MIME type using
1672 the ctrl EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG.
1675 *) During PKCS7 signing pass the PKCS7 SignerInfo structure to the
1676 EVP_PKEY_METHOD before and after signing via the EVP_PKEY_CTRL_PKCS7_SIGN
1677 ctrl. It can then customise the structure before and/or after signing
1681 *) New function OBJ_add_sigid() to allow application defined signature OIDs
1682 to be added to OpenSSLs internal tables. New function OBJ_sigid_free()
1683 to free up any added signature OIDs.
1686 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_do_all(), EVP_CIPHER_do_all_sorted(),
1687 EVP_MD_do_all() and EVP_MD_do_all_sorted() to enumerate internal
1688 digest and cipher tables. New options added to openssl utility:
1689 list-message-digest-algorithms and list-cipher-algorithms.
1692 *) Change the array representation of binary polynomials: the list
1693 of degrees of non-zero coefficients is now terminated with -1.
1694 Previously it was terminated with 0, which was also part of the
1695 value; thus, the array representation was not applicable to
1696 polynomials where t^0 has coefficient zero. This change makes
1697 the array representation useful in a more general context.
1700 *) Various modifications and fixes to SSL/TLS cipher string
1701 handling. For ECC, the code now distinguishes between fixed ECDH
1702 with RSA certificates on the one hand and with ECDSA certificates
1703 on the other hand, since these are separate ciphersuites. The
1704 unused code for Fortezza ciphersuites has been removed.
1706 For consistency with EDH, ephemeral ECDH is now called "EECDH"
1707 (not "ECDHE"). For consistency with the code for DH
1708 certificates, use of ECDH certificates is now considered ECDH
1709 authentication, not RSA or ECDSA authentication (the latter is
1710 merely the CA's signing algorithm and not actively used in the
1713 The temporary ciphersuite alias "ECCdraft" is no longer
1714 available, and ECC ciphersuites are no longer excluded from "ALL"
1715 and "DEFAULT". The following aliases now exist for RFC 4492
1716 ciphersuites, most of these by analogy with the DH case:
1718 kECDHr - ECDH cert, signed with RSA
1719 kECDHe - ECDH cert, signed with ECDSA
1720 kECDH - ECDH cert (signed with either RSA or ECDSA)
1721 kEECDH - ephemeral ECDH
1722 ECDH - ECDH cert or ephemeral ECDH
1728 AECDH - anonymous ECDH
1729 EECDH - non-anonymous ephemeral ECDH (equivalent to "kEECDH:-AECDH")
1733 *) Add additional S/MIME capabilities for AES and GOST ciphers if supported.
1734 Use correct micalg parameters depending on digest(s) in signed message.
1737 *) Add engine support for EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. Add functions to process
1738 an ENGINE asn1 method. Support ENGINE lookups in the ASN1 code.
1741 *) Initial engine support for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. New functions to permit
1742 an engine to register a method. Add ENGINE lookups for methods and
1743 functional reference processing.
1746 *) New functions EVP_Digest{Sign,Verify)*. These are enchance versions of
1747 EVP_{Sign,Verify}* which allow an application to customise the signature
1751 *) New -resign option to smime utility. This adds one or more signers
1752 to an existing PKCS#7 signedData structure. Also -md option to use an
1753 alternative message digest algorithm for signing.
1756 *) Tidy up PKCS#7 routines and add new functions to make it easier to
1757 create PKCS7 structures containing multiple signers. Update smime
1758 application to support multiple signers.
1761 *) New -macalg option to pkcs12 utility to allow setting of an alternative
1765 *) Initial support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PRFs other than default SHA1 HMAC.
1766 Reorganize PBE internals to lookup from a static table using NIDs,
1767 add support for HMAC PBE OID translation. Add a EVP_CIPHER ctrl:
1768 EVP_CTRL_PBE_PRF_NID this allows a cipher to specify an alternative
1769 PRF which will be automatically used with PBES2.
1772 *) Replace the algorithm specific calls to generate keys in "req" with the
1776 *) Update PKCS#7 enveloped data routines to use new API. This is now
1777 supported by any public key method supporting the encrypt operation. A
1778 ctrl is added to allow the public key algorithm to examine or modify
1779 the PKCS#7 RecipientInfo structure if it needs to: for RSA this is
1783 *) Add a ctrl to asn1 method to allow a public key algorithm to express
1784 a default digest type to use. In most cases this will be SHA1 but some
1785 algorithms (such as GOST) need to specify an alternative digest. The
1786 return value indicates how strong the prefernce is 1 means optional and
1787 2 is mandatory (that is it is the only supported type). Modify
1788 ASN1_item_sign() to accept a NULL digest argument to indicate it should
1789 use the default md. Update openssl utilities to use the default digest
1790 type for signing if it is not explicitly indicated.
1793 *) Use OID cross reference table in ASN1_sign() and ASN1_verify(). New
1794 EVP_MD flag EVP_MD_FLAG_PKEY_METHOD_SIGNATURE. This uses the relevant
1795 signing method from the key type. This effectively removes the link
1796 between digests and public key types.
1799 *) Add an OID cross reference table and utility functions. Its purpose is to
1800 translate between signature OIDs such as SHA1WithrsaEncryption and SHA1,
1801 rsaEncryption. This will allow some of the algorithm specific hackery
1802 needed to use the correct OID to be removed.
1805 *) Remove algorithm specific dependencies when setting PKCS7_SIGNER_INFO
1806 structures for PKCS7_sign(). They are now set up by the relevant public
1810 *) Add provisional EC pkey method with support for ECDSA and ECDH.
1813 *) Add support for key derivation (agreement) in the API, DH method and
1817 *) Add DSA pkey method and DH pkey methods, extend DH ASN1 method to support
1818 public and private key formats. As a side effect these add additional
1819 command line functionality not previously available: DSA signatures can be
1820 generated and verified using pkeyutl and DH key support and generation in
1825 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1827 *) New make target "install_html_docs" installs HTML renditions of the
1829 [Oliver Tappe <zooey@hirschkaefer.de>]
1831 *) New utility "genpkey" this is analagous to "genrsa" etc except it can
1832 generate keys for any algorithm. Extend and update EVP_PKEY_METHOD to
1833 support key and parameter generation and add initial key generation
1834 functionality for RSA.
1837 *) Add functions for main EVP_PKEY_method operations. The undocumented
1838 functions EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt} have been renamed to
1839 EVP_PKEY_{encrypt,decrypt}_old.
1842 *) Initial definitions for EVP_PKEY_METHOD. This will be a high level public
1843 key API, doesn't do much yet.
1846 *) New function EVP_PKEY_asn1_get0_info() to retrieve information about
1847 public key algorithms. New option to openssl utility:
1848 "list-public-key-algorithms" to print out info.
1851 *) Implement the Supported Elliptic Curves Extension for
1852 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1855 *) Don't free up OIDs in OBJ_cleanup() if they are in use by EVP_MD or
1856 EVP_CIPHER structures to avoid later problems in EVP_cleanup().
1859 *) New utilities pkey and pkeyparam. These are similar to algorithm specific
1860 utilities such as rsa, dsa, dsaparam etc except they process any key
1864 *) Transfer public key printing routines to EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD. New
1865 functions EVP_PKEY_print_public(), EVP_PKEY_print_private(),
1866 EVP_PKEY_print_param() to print public key data from an EVP_PKEY
1870 *) Initial support for pluggable public key ASN1.
1871 De-spaghettify the public key ASN1 handling. Move public and private
1872 key ASN1 handling to a new EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD structure. Relocate
1873 algorithm specific handling to a single module within the relevant
1874 algorithm directory. Add functions to allow (near) opaque processing
1875 of public and private key structures.
1878 *) Implement the Supported Point Formats Extension for
1879 ECC ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt.
1882 *) Add initial support for RFC 4279 PSK TLS ciphersuites. Add members
1883 for the psk identity [hint] and the psk callback functions to the
1884 SSL_SESSION, SSL and SSL_CTX structure.
1887 PSK-RC4-SHA, PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA, PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA,
1891 SSL_CTX_use_psk_identity_hint
1892 SSL_get_psk_identity_hint
1893 SSL_get_psk_identity
1894 SSL_use_psk_identity_hint
1896 [Mika Kousa and Pasi Eronen of Nokia Corporation]
1898 *) Add RFC 3161 compliant time stamp request creation, response generation
1899 and response verification functionality.
1900 [Zoltán Glózik <zglozik@opentsa.org>, The OpenTSA Project]
1902 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
1903 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
1904 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
1905 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
1906 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
1907 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
1908 server_name extension.
1910 New functions (subject to change):
1912 SSL_get_servername()
1913 SSL_get_servername_type()
1916 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
1918 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
1919 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
1920 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
1921 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
1922 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
1924 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
1926 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
1927 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
1928 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
1929 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
1930 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
1931 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
1934 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou]
1936 *) Whirlpool hash implementation is added.
1939 *) BIGNUM code on 64-bit SPARCv9 targets is switched from bn(64,64) to
1940 bn(64,32). Because of instruction set limitations it doesn't have
1941 any negative impact on performance. This was done mostly in order
1942 to make it possible to share assembler modules, such as bn_mul_mont
1943 implementations, between 32- and 64-bit builds without hassle.
1946 *) Move code previously exiled into file crypto/ec/ec2_smpt.c
1947 to ec2_smpl.c, and no longer require the OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP
1951 *) New candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation, bn_mul_mont,
1952 dedicated Montgomery multiplication procedure, is introduced.
1953 BN_MONT_CTX is modified to allow bn_mul_mont to reach for higher
1954 "64-bit" performance on certain 32-bit targets.
1957 *) New option SSL_OP_NO_COMP to disable use of compression selectively
1958 in SSL structures. New SSL ctrl to set maximum send fragment size.
1959 Save memory by seeting the I/O buffer sizes dynamically instead of
1960 using the maximum available value.
1963 *) New option -V for 'openssl ciphers'. This prints the ciphersuite code
1964 in addition to the text details.
1967 *) Very, very preliminary EXPERIMENTAL support for printing of general
1968 ASN1 structures. This currently produces rather ugly output and doesn't
1969 handle several customised structures at all.
1972 *) Integrated support for PVK file format and some related formats such
1973 as MS PUBLICKEYBLOB and PRIVATEKEYBLOB. Command line switches to support
1974 these in the 'rsa' and 'dsa' utilities.
1977 *) Support for PKCS#1 RSAPublicKey format on rsa utility command line.
1980 *) Remove the ancient ASN1_METHOD code. This was only ever used in one
1981 place for the (very old) "NETSCAPE" format certificates which are now
1982 handled using new ASN1 code equivalents.
1985 *) Let the TLSv1_method() etc. functions return a 'const' SSL_METHOD
1986 pointer and make the SSL_METHOD parameter in SSL_CTX_new,
1987 SSL_CTX_set_ssl_version and SSL_set_ssl_method 'const'.
1990 *) Modify CRL distribution points extension code to print out previously
1991 unsupported fields. Enhance extension setting code to allow setting of
1995 *) Add print and set support for Issuing Distribution Point CRL extension.
1998 *) Change 'Configure' script to enable Camellia by default.
2001 Changes between 0.9.8m and 0.9.8n [24 Mar 2010]
2003 *) When rejecting SSL/TLS records due to an incorrect version number, never
2004 update s->server with a new major version number. As of
2005 - OpenSSL 0.9.8m if 'short' is a 16-bit type,
2006 - OpenSSL 0.9.8f if 'short' is longer than 16 bits,
2007 the previous behavior could result in a read attempt at NULL when
2008 receiving specific incorrect SSL/TLS records once record payload
2009 protection is active. (CVE-2010-0740)
2010 [Bodo Moeller, Adam Langley <agl@chromium.org>]
2012 *) Fix for CVE-2010-0433 where some kerberos enabled versions of OpenSSL
2013 could be crashed if the relevant tables were not present (e.g. chrooted).
2014 [Tomas Hoger <thoger@redhat.com>]
2016 Changes between 0.9.8l and 0.9.8m [25 Feb 2010]
2018 *) Always check bn_wexpend() return values for failure. (CVE-2009-3245)
2019 [Martin Olsson, Neel Mehta]
2021 *) Fix X509_STORE locking: Every 'objs' access requires a lock (to
2022 accommodate for stack sorting, always a write lock!).
2025 *) On some versions of WIN32 Heap32Next is very slow. This can cause
2026 excessive delays in the RAND_poll(): over a minute. As a workaround
2027 include a time check in the inner Heap32Next loop too.
2030 *) The code that handled flushing of data in SSL/TLS originally used the
2031 BIO_CTRL_INFO ctrl to see if any data was pending first. This caused
2032 the problem outlined in PR#1949. The fix suggested there however can
2033 trigger problems with buggy BIO_CTRL_WPENDING (e.g. some versions
2034 of Apache). So instead simplify the code to flush unconditionally.
2035 This should be fine since flushing with no data to flush is a no op.
2038 *) Handle TLS versions 2.0 and later properly and correctly use the
2039 highest version of TLS/SSL supported. Although TLS >= 2.0 is some way
2040 off ancient servers have a habit of sticking around for a while...
2043 *) Modify compression code so it frees up structures without using the
2044 ex_data callbacks. This works around a problem where some applications
2045 call CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() before application exit (e.g. when
2046 restarting) then use compression (e.g. SSL with compression) later.
2047 This results in significant per-connection memory leaks and
2048 has caused some security issues including CVE-2008-1678 and
2052 *) Constify crypto/cast (i.e., <openssl/cast.h>): a CAST_KEY doesn't
2053 change when encrypting or decrypting.
2056 *) Add option SSL_OP_LEGACY_SERVER_CONNECT which will allow clients to
2057 connect and renegotiate with servers which do not support RI.
2058 Until RI is more widely deployed this option is enabled by default.
2061 *) Add "missing" ssl ctrls to clear options and mode.
2064 *) If client attempts to renegotiate and doesn't support RI respond with
2065 a no_renegotiation alert as required by RFC5746. Some renegotiating
2066 TLS clients will continue a connection gracefully when they receive
2067 the alert. Unfortunately OpenSSL mishandled this alert and would hang
2068 waiting for a server hello which it will never receive. Now we treat a
2069 received no_renegotiation alert as a fatal error. This is because
2070 applications requesting a renegotiation might well expect it to succeed
2071 and would have no code in place to handle the server denying it so the
2072 only safe thing to do is to terminate the connection.
2075 *) Add ctrl macro SSL_get_secure_renegotiation_support() which returns 1 if
2076 peer supports secure renegotiation and 0 otherwise. Print out peer
2077 renegotiation support in s_client/s_server.
2080 *) Replace the highly broken and deprecated SPKAC certification method with
2081 the updated NID creation version. This should correctly handle UTF8.
2084 *) Implement RFC5746. Re-enable renegotiation but require the extension
2085 as needed. Unfortunately, SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION
2086 turns out to be a bad idea. It has been replaced by
2087 SSL_OP_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION which can be set with
2088 SSL_CTX_set_options(). This is really not recommended unless you
2089 know what you are doing.
2090 [Eric Rescorla <ekr@networkresonance.com>, Ben Laurie, Steve Henson]
2092 *) Fixes to stateless session resumption handling. Use initial_ctx when
2093 issuing and attempting to decrypt tickets in case it has changed during
2094 servername handling. Use a non-zero length session ID when attempting
2095 stateless session resumption: this makes it possible to determine if
2096 a resumption has occurred immediately after receiving server hello
2097 (several places in OpenSSL subtly assume this) instead of later in
2101 *) The functions ENGINE_ctrl(), OPENSSL_isservice(),
2102 CMS_get1_RecipientRequest() and RAND_bytes() can return <=0 on error
2103 fixes for a few places where the return code is not checked
2105 [Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>]
2107 *) Add --strict-warnings option to Configure script to include devteam
2108 warnings in other configurations.
2111 *) Add support for --libdir option and LIBDIR variable in makefiles. This
2112 makes it possible to install openssl libraries in locations which
2113 have names other than "lib", for example "/usr/lib64" which some
2115 [Steve Henson, based on patch from Jeremy Utley]
2117 *) Don't allow the use of leading 0x80 in OIDs. This is a violation of
2118 X690 8.9.12 and can produce some misleading textual output of OIDs.
2119 [Steve Henson, reported by Dan Kaminsky]
2121 *) Delete MD2 from algorithm tables. This follows the recommendation in
2122 several standards that it is not used in new applications due to
2123 several cryptographic weaknesses. For binary compatibility reasons
2124 the MD2 API is still compiled in by default.
2127 *) Add compression id to {d2i,i2d}_SSL_SESSION so it is correctly saved
2131 *) Rename uni2asc and asc2uni functions to OPENSSL_uni2asc and
2132 OPENSSL_asc2uni conditionally on Netware platforms to avoid a name
2134 [Guenter <lists@gknw.net>]
2136 *) Fix the server certificate chain building code to use X509_verify_cert(),
2137 it used to have an ad-hoc builder which was unable to cope with anything
2138 other than a simple chain.
2139 [David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>, Steve Henson]
2141 *) Don't check self signed certificate signatures in X509_verify_cert()
2142 by default (a flag can override this): it just wastes time without
2143 adding any security. As a useful side effect self signed root CAs
2144 with non-FIPS digests are now usable in FIPS mode.
2147 *) In dtls1_process_out_of_seq_message() the check if the current message
2148 is already buffered was missing. For every new message was memory
2149 allocated, allowing an attacker to perform an denial of service attack
2150 with sending out of seq handshake messages until there is no memory
2151 left. Additionally every future messege was buffered, even if the
2152 sequence number made no sense and would be part of another handshake.
2153 So only messages with sequence numbers less than 10 in advance will be
2154 buffered. (CVE-2009-1378)
2155 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2157 *) Records are buffered if they arrive with a future epoch to be
2158 processed after finishing the corresponding handshake. There is
2159 currently no limitation to this buffer allowing an attacker to perform
2160 a DOS attack with sending records with future epochs until there is no
2161 memory left. This patch adds the pqueue_size() function to detemine
2162 the size of a buffer and limits the record buffer to 100 entries.
2164 [Robin Seggelmann, discovered by Daniel Mentz]
2166 *) Keep a copy of frag->msg_header.frag_len so it can be used after the
2167 parent structure is freed. (CVE-2009-1379)
2170 *) Handle non-blocking I/O properly in SSL_shutdown() call.
2171 [Darryl Miles <darryl-mailinglists@netbauds.net>]
2174 [Ilya O. <vrghost@gmail.com>]
2176 Changes between 0.9.8k and 0.9.8l [5 Nov 2009]
2178 *) Disable renegotiation completely - this fixes a severe security
2179 problem (CVE-2009-3555) at the cost of breaking all
2180 renegotiation. Renegotiation can be re-enabled by setting
2181 SSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION in s3->flags at
2182 run-time. This is really not recommended unless you know what
2186 Changes between 0.9.8j and 0.9.8k [25 Mar 2009]
2188 *) Don't set val to NULL when freeing up structures, it is freed up by
2189 underlying code. If sizeof(void *) > sizeof(long) this can result in
2190 zeroing past the valid field. (CVE-2009-0789)
2191 [Paolo Ganci <Paolo.Ganci@AdNovum.CH>]
2193 *) Fix bug where return value of CMS_SignerInfo_verify_content() was not
2194 checked correctly. This would allow some invalid signed attributes to
2195 appear to verify correctly. (CVE-2009-0591)
2196 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2198 *) Reject UniversalString and BMPString types with invalid lengths. This
2199 prevents a crash in ASN1_STRING_print_ex() which assumes the strings have
2200 a legal length. (CVE-2009-0590)
2203 *) Set S/MIME signing as the default purpose rather than setting it
2204 unconditionally. This allows applications to override it at the store
2208 *) Permit restricted recursion of ASN1 strings. This is needed in practice
2209 to handle some structures.
2212 *) Improve efficiency of mem_gets: don't search whole buffer each time
2214 [Jeremy Shapiro <jnshapir@us.ibm.com>]
2216 *) New -hex option for openssl rand.
2219 *) Print out UTF8String and NumericString when parsing ASN1.
2222 *) Support NumericString type for name components.
2225 *) Allow CC in the environment to override the automatically chosen
2226 compiler. Note that nothing is done to ensure flags work with the
2230 Changes between 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j [07 Jan 2009]
2232 *) Properly check EVP_VerifyFinal() and similar return values
2234 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller, Google Security Team]
2236 *) Enable TLS extensions by default.
2239 *) Allow the CHIL engine to be loaded, whether the application is
2240 multithreaded or not. (This does not release the developer from the
2241 obligation to set up the dynamic locking callbacks.)
2242 [Sander Temme <sander@temme.net>]
2244 *) Use correct exit code if there is an error in dgst command.
2245 [Steve Henson; problem pointed out by Roland Dirlewanger]
2247 *) Tweak Configure so that you need to say "experimental-jpake" to enable
2248 JPAKE, and need to use -DOPENSSL_EXPERIMENTAL_JPAKE in applications.
2251 *) Add experimental JPAKE support, including demo authentication in
2252 s_client and s_server.
2255 *) Set the comparison function in v3_addr_canonize().
2256 [Rob Austein <sra@hactrn.net>]
2258 *) Add support for XMPP STARTTLS in s_client.
2259 [Philip Paeps <philip@freebsd.org>]
2261 *) Change the server-side SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG behavior
2262 to ensure that even with this option, only ciphersuites in the
2263 server's preference list will be accepted. (Note that the option
2264 applies only when resuming a session, so the earlier behavior was
2265 just about the algorithm choice for symmetric cryptography.)
2268 Changes between 0.9.8h and 0.9.8i [15 Sep 2008]
2270 *) Fix NULL pointer dereference if a DTLS server received
2271 ChangeCipherSpec as first record (CVE-2009-1386).
2274 *) Fix a state transitition in s3_srvr.c and d1_srvr.c
2275 (was using SSL3_ST_CW_CLNT_HELLO_B, should be ..._ST_SW_SRVR_...).
2278 *) The fix in 0.9.8c that supposedly got rid of unsafe
2279 double-checked locking was incomplete for RSA blinding,
2280 addressing just one layer of what turns out to have been
2281 doubly unsafe triple-checked locking.
2283 So now fix this for real by retiring the MONT_HELPER macro
2284 in crypto/rsa/rsa_eay.c.
2286 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Marius Schilder]
2288 *) Various precautionary measures:
2290 - Avoid size_t integer overflow in HASH_UPDATE (md32_common.h).
2292 - Avoid a buffer overflow in d2i_SSL_SESSION() (ssl_asn1.c).
2293 (NB: This would require knowledge of the secret session ticket key
2294 to exploit, in which case you'd be SOL either way.)
2296 - Change bn_nist.c so that it will properly handle input BIGNUMs
2297 outside the expected range.
2299 - Enforce the 'num' check in BN_div() (bn_div.c) for non-BN_DEBUG
2302 [Neel Mehta, Bodo Moeller]
2304 *) Allow engines to be "soft loaded" - i.e. optionally don't die if
2305 the load fails. Useful for distros.
2306 [Ben Laurie and the FreeBSD team]
2308 *) Add support for Local Machine Keyset attribute in PKCS#12 files.
2311 *) Fix BN_GF2m_mod_arr() top-bit cleanup code.
2314 *) Expand ENGINE to support engine supplied SSL client certificate functions.
2316 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2319 *) Add CryptoAPI ENGINE to support use of RSA and DSA keys held in Windows
2320 keystores. Support for SSL/TLS client authentication too.
2321 Not compiled unless enable-capieng specified to Configure.
2323 This work was sponsored by Logica.
2326 *) Fix bug in X509_ATTRIBUTE creation: dont set attribute using
2327 ASN1_TYPE_set1 if MBSTRING flag set. This bug would crash certain
2328 attribute creation routines such as certifcate requests and PKCS#12
2332 Changes between 0.9.8g and 0.9.8h [28 May 2008]
2334 *) Fix flaw if 'Server Key exchange message' is omitted from a TLS
2335 handshake which could lead to a cilent crash as found using the
2336 Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-1672)
2337 [Steve Henson, Mark Cox]
2339 *) Fix double free in TLS server name extensions which could lead to
2340 a remote crash found by Codenomicon TLS test suite (CVE-2008-0891)
2343 *) Clear error queue in SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file()
2345 Clear the error queue to ensure that error entries left from
2346 older function calls do not interfere with the correct operation.
2347 [Lutz Jaenicke, Erik de Castro Lopo]
2349 *) Remove root CA certificates of commercial CAs:
2351 The OpenSSL project does not recommend any specific CA and does not
2352 have any policy with respect to including or excluding any CA.
2353 Therefore it does not make any sense to ship an arbitrary selection
2354 of root CA certificates with the OpenSSL software.
2357 *) RSA OAEP patches to fix two separate invalid memory reads.
2358 The first one involves inputs when 'lzero' is greater than
2359 'SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH' (it would read about SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH bytes
2360 before the beginning of from). The second one involves inputs where
2361 the 'db' section contains nothing but zeroes (there is a one-byte
2362 invalid read after the end of 'db').
2363 [Ivan Nestlerode <inestlerode@us.ibm.com>]
2365 *) Partial backport from 0.9.9-dev:
2367 Introduce bn_mul_mont (dedicated Montgomery multiplication
2368 procedure) as a candidate for BIGNUM assembler implementation.
2369 While 0.9.9-dev uses assembler for various architectures, only
2370 x86_64 is available by default here in the 0.9.8 branch, and
2371 32-bit x86 is available through a compile-time setting.
2373 To try the 32-bit x86 assembler implementation, use Configure
2374 option "enable-montasm" (which exists only for this backport).
2376 As "enable-montasm" for 32-bit x86 disclaims code stability
2377 anyway, in this constellation we activate additional code
2378 backported from 0.9.9-dev for further performance improvements,
2379 namely BN_from_montgomery_word. (To enable this otherwise,
2380 e.g. x86_64, try "-DMONT_FROM_WORD___NON_DEFAULT_0_9_8_BUILD".)
2382 [Andy Polyakov (backport partially by Bodo Moeller)]
2384 *) Add TLS session ticket callback. This allows an application to set
2385 TLS ticket cipher and HMAC keys rather than relying on hardcoded fixed
2386 values. This is useful for key rollover for example where several key
2387 sets may exist with different names.
2390 *) Reverse ENGINE-internal logic for caching default ENGINE handles.
2391 This was broken until now in 0.9.8 releases, such that the only way
2392 a registered ENGINE could be used (assuming it initialises
2393 successfully on the host) was to explicitly set it as the default
2394 for the relevant algorithms. This is in contradiction with 0.9.7
2395 behaviour and the documentation. With this fix, when an ENGINE is
2396 registered into a given algorithm's table of implementations, the
2397 'uptodate' flag is reset so that auto-discovery will be used next
2398 time a new context for that algorithm attempts to select an
2400 [Ian Lister (tweaked by Geoff Thorpe)]
2402 *) Backport of CMS code to OpenSSL 0.9.8. This differs from the 0.9.9
2403 implemention in the following ways:
2405 Lack of EVP_PKEY_ASN1_METHOD means algorithm parameters have to be
2408 Lack of BER streaming support means one pass streaming processing is
2409 only supported if data is detached: setting the streaming flag is
2410 ignored for embedded content.
2412 CMS support is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled
2413 with the enable-cms configuration option.
2416 *) Update the GMP engine glue to do direct copies between BIGNUM and
2417 mpz_t when openssl and GMP use the same limb size. Otherwise the
2418 existing "conversion via a text string export" trick is still used.
2419 [Paul Sheer <paulsheer@gmail.com>]
2421 *) Zlib compression BIO. This is a filter BIO which compressed and
2422 uncompresses any data passed through it.
2425 *) Add AES_wrap_key() and AES_unwrap_key() functions to implement
2426 RFC3394 compatible AES key wrapping.
2429 *) Add utility functions to handle ASN1 structures. ASN1_STRING_set0():
2430 sets string data without copying. X509_ALGOR_set0() and
2431 X509_ALGOR_get0(): set and retrieve X509_ALGOR (AlgorithmIdentifier)
2432 data. Attribute function X509at_get0_data_by_OBJ(): retrieves data
2433 from an X509_ATTRIBUTE structure optionally checking it occurs only
2434 once. ASN1_TYPE_set1(): set and ASN1_TYPE structure copying supplied
2438 *) Fix BN flag handling in RSA_eay_mod_exp() and BN_MONT_CTX_set()
2439 to get the expected BN_FLG_CONSTTIME behavior.
2440 [Bodo Moeller (Google)]
2444 - fixed wrong usage of ioctlsocket() when build for LIBC BSD sockets
2445 - fixed do_tests.pl to run the test suite with CLIB builds too (CLIB_OPT)
2446 - added some more tests to do_tests.pl
2447 - fixed RunningProcess usage so that it works with newer LIBC NDKs too
2448 - removed usage of BN_LLONG for CLIB builds to avoid runtime dependency
2449 - added new Configure targets netware-clib-bsdsock, netware-clib-gcc,
2450 netware-clib-bsdsock-gcc, netware-libc-bsdsock-gcc
2451 - various changes to netware.pl to enable gcc-cross builds on Win32
2453 - changed crypto/bio/b_sock.c to work with macro functions (CLIB BSD)
2454 - various changes to fix missing prototype warnings
2455 - fixed x86nasm.pl to create correct asm files for NASM COFF output
2456 - added AES, WHIRLPOOL and CPUID assembler code to build files
2457 - added missing AES assembler make rules to mk1mf.pl
2458 - fixed order of includes in apps/ocsp.c so that e_os.h settings apply
2459 [Guenter Knauf <eflash@gmx.net>]
2461 *) Implement certificate status request TLS extension defined in RFC3546.
2462 A client can set the appropriate parameters and receive the encoded
2463 OCSP response via a callback. A server can query the supplied parameters
2464 and set the encoded OCSP response in the callback. Add simplified examples
2465 to s_client and s_server.
2468 Changes between 0.9.8f and 0.9.8g [19 Oct 2007]
2470 *) Fix various bugs:
2471 + Binary incompatibility of ssl_ctx_st structure
2472 + DTLS interoperation with non-compliant servers
2473 + Don't call get_session_cb() without proposed session
2474 + Fix ia64 assembler code
2475 [Andy Polyakov, Steve Henson]
2477 Changes between 0.9.8e and 0.9.8f [11 Oct 2007]
2479 *) DTLS Handshake overhaul. There were longstanding issues with
2480 OpenSSL DTLS implementation, which were making it impossible for
2481 RFC 4347 compliant client to communicate with OpenSSL server.
2482 Unfortunately just fixing these incompatibilities would "cut off"
2483 pre-0.9.8f clients. To allow for hassle free upgrade post-0.9.8e
2484 server keeps tolerating non RFC compliant syntax. The opposite is
2485 not true, 0.9.8f client can not communicate with earlier server.
2486 This update even addresses CVE-2007-4995.
2489 *) Changes to avoid need for function casts in OpenSSL: some compilers
2490 (gcc 4.2 and later) reject their use.
2491 [Kurt Roeckx <kurt@roeckx.be>, Peter Hartley <pdh@utter.chaos.org.uk>,
2494 *) Add RFC4507 support to OpenSSL. This includes the corrections in
2495 RFC4507bis. The encrypted ticket format is an encrypted encoded
2496 SSL_SESSION structure, that way new session features are automatically
2499 If a client application caches session in an SSL_SESSION structure
2500 support is transparent because tickets are now stored in the encoded
2503 The SSL_CTX structure automatically generates keys for ticket
2504 protection in servers so again support should be possible
2505 with no application modification.
2507 If a client or server wishes to disable RFC4507 support then the option
2508 SSL_OP_NO_TICKET can be set.
2510 Add a TLS extension debugging callback to allow the contents of any client
2511 or server extensions to be examined.
2513 This work was sponsored by Google.
2516 *) Add initial support for TLS extensions, specifically for the server_name
2517 extension so far. The SSL_SESSION, SSL_CTX, and SSL data structures now
2518 have new members for a host name. The SSL data structure has an
2519 additional member SSL_CTX *initial_ctx so that new sessions can be
2520 stored in that context to allow for session resumption, even after the
2521 SSL has been switched to a new SSL_CTX in reaction to a client's
2522 server_name extension.
2524 New functions (subject to change):
2526 SSL_get_servername()
2527 SSL_get_servername_type()
2530 New CTRL codes and macros (subject to change):
2532 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_CB
2533 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback()
2534 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_SERVERNAME_ARG
2535 - SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_arg()
2536 SSL_CTRL_SET_TLSEXT_HOSTNAME - SSL_set_tlsext_host_name()
2538 openssl s_client has a new '-servername ...' option.
2540 openssl s_server has new options '-servername_host ...', '-cert2 ...',
2541 '-key2 ...', '-servername_fatal' (subject to change). This allows
2542 testing the HostName extension for a specific single host name ('-cert'
2543 and '-key' remain fallbacks for handshakes without HostName
2544 negotiation). If the unrecogninzed_name alert has to be sent, this by
2545 default is a warning; it becomes fatal with the '-servername_fatal'
2548 [Peter Sylvester, Remy Allais, Christophe Renou, Steve Henson]
2550 *) Add AES and SSE2 assembly language support to VC++ build.
2553 *) Mitigate attack on final subtraction in Montgomery reduction.
2556 *) Fix crypto/ec/ec_mult.c to work properly with scalars of value 0
2557 (which previously caused an internal error).
2560 *) Squeeze another 10% out of IGE mode when in != out.
2563 *) AES IGE mode speedup.
2564 [Dean Gaudet (Google)]
2566 *) Add the Korean symmetric 128-bit cipher SEED (see
2567 http://www.kisa.or.kr/kisa/seed/jsp/seed_eng.jsp) and
2568 add SEED ciphersuites from RFC 4162:
2570 TLS_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "SEED-SHA"
2571 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-DSS-SEED-SHA"
2572 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "DHE-RSA-SEED-SHA"
2573 TLS_DH_anon_WITH_SEED_CBC_SHA = "ADH-SEED-SHA"
2575 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2576 series, SEED remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2577 is configured with 'enable-seed'.
2578 [KISA, Bodo Moeller]
2580 *) Mitigate branch prediction attacks, which can be practical if a
2581 single processor is shared, allowing a spy process to extract
2582 information. For detailed background information, see
2583 http://eprint.iacr.org/2007/039 (O. Aciicmez, S. Gueron,
2584 J.-P. Seifert, "New Branch Prediction Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL
2585 and Necessary Software Countermeasures"). The core of the change
2586 are new versions BN_div_no_branch() and
2587 BN_mod_inverse_no_branch() of BN_div() and BN_mod_inverse(),
2588 respectively, which are slower, but avoid the security-relevant
2589 conditional branches. These are automatically called by BN_div()
2590 and BN_mod_inverse() if the flag BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is set for one
2591 of the input BIGNUMs. Also, BN_is_bit_set() has been changed to
2592 remove a conditional branch.
2594 BN_FLG_CONSTTIME is the new name for the previous
2595 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME flag, since it now affects more than just
2596 modular exponentiation. (Since OpenSSL 0.9.7h, setting this flag
2597 in the exponent causes BN_mod_exp_mont() to use the alternative
2598 implementation in BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime().) The old name
2599 remains as a deprecated alias.
2601 Similary, RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is replaced by a more general
2602 RSA_FLAG_NO_CONSTTIME flag since the RSA implementation now uses
2603 constant-time implementations for more than just exponentiation.
2604 Here too the old name is kept as a deprecated alias.
2606 BN_BLINDING_new() will now use BN_dup() for the modulus so that
2607 the BN_BLINDING structure gets an independent copy of the
2608 modulus. This means that the previous "BIGNUM *m" argument to
2609 BN_BLINDING_new() and to BN_BLINDING_create_param() now
2610 essentially becomes "const BIGNUM *m", although we can't actually
2611 change this in the header file before 0.9.9. It allows
2612 RSA_setup_blinding() to use BN_with_flags() on the modulus to
2613 enable BN_FLG_CONSTTIME.
2615 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp)]
2617 *) In the SSL/TLS server implementation, be strict about session ID
2618 context matching (which matters if an application uses a single
2619 external cache for different purposes). Previously,
2620 out-of-context reuse was forbidden only if SSL_VERIFY_PEER was
2621 set. This did ensure strict client verification, but meant that,
2622 with applications using a single external cache for quite
2623 different requirements, clients could circumvent ciphersuite
2624 restrictions for a given session ID context by starting a session
2625 in a different context.
2628 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
2629 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
2630 authentication-only ciphersuites.
2633 *) Update the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() fix CVE-2006-3738 which was
2634 not complete and could lead to a possible single byte overflow
2635 (CVE-2007-5135) [Ben Laurie]
2637 Changes between 0.9.8d and 0.9.8e [23 Feb 2007]
2639 *) Since AES128 and AES256 (and similarly Camellia128 and
2640 Camellia256) share a single mask bit in the logic of
2641 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
2642 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't
2643 (or if Camellia128 is available and Camellia256 isn't).
2646 *) Fix the BIT STRING encoding generated by crypto/ec/ec_asn1.c
2647 (within i2d_ECPrivateKey, i2d_ECPKParameters, i2d_ECParameters):
2648 When a point or a seed is encoded in a BIT STRING, we need to
2649 prevent the removal of trailing zero bits to get the proper DER
2650 encoding. (By default, crypto/asn1/a_bitstr.c assumes the case
2651 of a NamedBitList, for which trailing 0 bits need to be removed.)
2654 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
2655 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
2656 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
2657 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
2658 message has informed the client about his choice.)
2661 *) Add RFC 3779 support.
2662 [Rob Austein for ARIN, Ben Laurie]
2664 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
2665 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
2666 Improve header file function name parsing.
2669 *) extend SMTP and IMAP protocol emulation in s_client to use EHLO
2670 or CAPABILITY handshake as required by RFCs.
2673 Changes between 0.9.8c and 0.9.8d [28 Sep 2006]
2675 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
2676 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
2677 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
2679 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
2680 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
2682 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
2683 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2685 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
2686 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
2687 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
2689 *) Since 0.9.8b, ciphersuite strings naming explicit ciphersuites
2690 match only those. Before that, "AES256-SHA" would be interpreted
2691 as a pattern and match "AES128-SHA" too (since AES128-SHA got
2692 the same strength classification in 0.9.7h) as we currently only
2693 have a single AES bit in the ciphersuite description bitmap.
2694 That change, however, also applied to ciphersuite strings such as
2695 "RC4-MD5" that intentionally matched multiple ciphersuites --
2696 namely, SSL 2.0 ciphersuites in addition to the more common ones
2697 from SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0.
2699 So we change the selection algorithm again: Naming an explicit
2700 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite, and any other similar
2701 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions.
2702 Thus, "RC4-MD5" again will properly select both the SSL 2.0
2703 ciphersuite and the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite.
2705 Since SSL 2.0 does not have any ciphersuites for which the
2706 128/256 bit distinction would be relevant, this works for now.
2707 The proper fix will be to use different bits for AES128 and
2708 AES256, which would have avoided the problems from the beginning;
2709 however, bits are scarce, so we can only do this in a new release
2710 (not just a patchlevel) when we can change the SSL_CIPHER
2711 definition to split the single 'unsigned long mask' bitmap into
2712 multiple values to extend the available space.
2716 Changes between 0.9.8b and 0.9.8c [05 Sep 2006]
2718 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
2719 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
2721 *) Add AES IGE and biIGE modes.
2724 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
2725 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
2726 undesirable limitations.
2727 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
2729 *) Disable "ECCdraft" ciphersuites more thoroughly. Now special
2730 treatment in ssl/ssl_ciph.s makes sure that these ciphersuites
2731 cannot be implicitly activated as part of, e.g., the "AES" alias.
2732 However, please upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.9[-dev] for
2733 non-experimental use of the ECC ciphersuites to get TLS extension
2734 support, which is required for curve and point format negotiation
2735 to avoid potential handshake problems.
2738 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
2740 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
2741 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
2742 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
2744 The latter two were purportedly from
2745 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
2748 Also deactivate the remaining ciphersuites from
2749 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
2750 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
2753 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
2754 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
2757 *) Add the symmetric cipher Camellia (128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit key
2758 versions), which is now available for royalty-free use
2759 (see http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html).
2760 Also, add Camellia TLS ciphersuites from RFC 4132.
2762 To minimize changes between patchlevels in the OpenSSL 0.9.8
2763 series, Camellia remains excluded from compilation unless OpenSSL
2764 is configured with 'enable-camellia'.
2767 *) Disable the padding bug check when compression is in use. The padding
2768 bug check assumes the first packet is of even length, this is not
2769 necessarily true if compresssion is enabled and can result in false
2770 positives causing handshake failure. The actual bug test is ancient
2771 code so it is hoped that implementations will either have fixed it by
2772 now or any which still have the bug do not support compression.
2775 Changes between 0.9.8a and 0.9.8b [04 May 2006]
2777 *) When applying a cipher rule check to see if string match is an explicit
2778 cipher suite and only match that one cipher suite if it is.
2781 *) Link in manifests for VC++ if needed.
2782 [Austin Ziegler <halostatue@gmail.com>]
2784 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
2785 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-12.txt with proposed changes (but without
2786 TLS extensions, which are supported starting with the 0.9.9
2787 branch, not in the OpenSSL 0.9.8 branch).
2790 *) New functions EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() to support
2791 opaque EVP_CIPHER_CTX handling.
2794 *) Fixes and enhancements to zlib compression code. We now only use
2795 "zlib1.dll" and use the default __cdecl calling convention on Win32
2796 to conform with the standards mentioned here:
2797 http://www.zlib.net/DLL_FAQ.txt
2798 Static zlib linking now works on Windows and the new --with-zlib-include
2799 --with-zlib-lib options to Configure can be used to supply the location
2800 of the headers and library. Gracefully handle case where zlib library
2804 *) Several fixes and enhancements to the OID generation code. The old code
2805 sometimes allowed invalid OIDs (1.X for X >= 40 for example), couldn't
2806 handle numbers larger than ULONG_MAX, truncated printing and had a
2807 non standard OBJ_obj2txt() behaviour.
2810 *) Add support for building of engines under engine/ as shared libraries
2811 under VC++ build system.
2814 *) Corrected the numerous bugs in the Win32 path splitter in DSO.
2815 Hopefully, we will not see any false combination of paths any more.
2818 Changes between 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a [11 Oct 2005]
2820 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
2821 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
2822 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
2823 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
2824 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
2826 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
2827 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
2828 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
2830 *) Add two function to clear and return the verify parameter flags.
2833 *) Keep cipherlists sorted in the source instead of sorting them at
2834 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2837 *) Avoid some small subgroup attacks in Diffie-Hellman.
2838 [Nick Mathewson and Ben Laurie]
2840 *) Add functions for well-known primes.
2843 *) Extended Windows CE support.
2844 [Satoshi Nakamura and Andy Polyakov]
2846 *) Initialize SSL_METHOD structures at compile time instead of during
2847 runtime, thus removing the need for a lock.
2850 *) Make PKCS7_decrypt() work even if no certificate is supplied by
2851 attempting to decrypt each encrypted key in turn. Add support to
2855 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.8 [05 Jul 2005]
2857 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7i and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
2860 *) Add libcrypto.pc and libssl.pc for those who feel they need them.
2863 *) Change CA.sh and CA.pl so they don't bundle the CSR and the private
2864 key into the same file any more.
2867 *) Add initial support for Win64, both IA64 and AMD64/x64 flavors.
2870 *) Add -utf8 command line and config file option to 'ca'.
2871 [Stefan <stf@udoma.org]
2873 *) Removed the macro des_crypt(), as it seems to conflict with some
2874 libraries. Use DES_crypt().
2877 *) Correct naming of the 'chil' and '4758cca' ENGINEs. This
2878 involves renaming the source and generated shared-libs for
2879 both. The engines will accept the corrected or legacy ids
2880 ('ncipher' and '4758_cca' respectively) when binding. NB,
2881 this only applies when building 'shared'.
2882 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Geoff Thorpe]
2884 *) Add attribute functions to EVP_PKEY structure. Modify
2885 PKCS12_create() to recognize a CSP name attribute and
2886 use it. Make -CSP option work again in pkcs12 utility.
2889 *) Add new functionality to the bn blinding code:
2890 - automatic re-creation of the BN_BLINDING parameters after
2891 a fixed number of uses (currently 32)
2892 - add new function for parameter creation
2893 - introduce flags to control the update behaviour of the
2894 BN_BLINDING parameters
2895 - hide BN_BLINDING structure
2896 Add a second BN_BLINDING slot to the RSA structure to improve
2897 performance when a single RSA object is shared among several
2901 *) Add support for DTLS.
2902 [Nagendra Modadugu <nagendra@cs.stanford.edu> and Ben Laurie]
2904 *) Add support for DER encoded private keys (SSL_FILETYPE_ASN1)
2905 to SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() and SSL_use_PrivateKey_file()
2908 *) Remove buggy and incompletet DH cert support from
2909 ssl/ssl_rsa.c and ssl/s3_both.c
2912 *) Use SHA-1 instead of MD5 as the default digest algorithm for
2913 the apps/openssl applications.
2916 *) Compile clean with "-Wall -Wmissing-prototypes
2917 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Werror". Currently
2918 DEBUG_SAFESTACK must also be set.
2921 *) Change ./Configure so that certain algorithms can be disabled by default.
2922 The new counterpiece to "no-xxx" is "enable-xxx".
2924 The patented RC5 and MDC2 algorithms will now be disabled unless
2925 "enable-rc5" and "enable-mdc2", respectively, are specified.
2927 (IDEA remains enabled despite being patented. This is because IDEA
2928 is frequently required for interoperability, and there is no license
2929 fee for non-commercial use. As before, "no-idea" can be used to
2930 avoid this algorithm.)
2934 *) Add processing of proxy certificates (see RFC 3820). This work was
2935 sponsored by KTH (The Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) and
2936 EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe).
2939 *) RC4 performance overhaul on modern architectures/implementations, such
2940 as Intel P4, IA-64 and AMD64.
2943 *) New utility extract-section.pl. This can be used specify an alternative
2944 section number in a pod file instead of having to treat each file as
2945 a separate case in Makefile. This can be done by adding two lines to the
2948 =for comment openssl_section:XXX
2950 The blank line is mandatory.
2954 *) New arguments -certform, -keyform and -pass for s_client and s_server
2955 to allow alternative format key and certificate files and passphrase
2959 *) New structure X509_VERIFY_PARAM which combines current verify parameters,
2960 update associated structures and add various utility functions.
2962 Add new policy related verify parameters, include policy checking in
2963 standard verify code. Enhance 'smime' application with extra parameters
2964 to support policy checking and print out.
2967 *) Add a new engine to support VIA PadLock ACE extensions in the VIA C3
2968 Nehemiah processors. These extensions support AES encryption in hardware
2969 as well as RNG (though RNG support is currently disabled).
2970 [Michal Ludvig <michal@logix.cz>, with help from Andy Polyakov]
2972 *) Deprecate BN_[get|set]_params() functions (they were ignored internally).
2975 *) New FIPS 180-2 algorithms, SHA-224/-256/-384/-512 are implemented.
2976 [Andy Polyakov and a number of other people]
2978 *) Improved PowerPC platform support. Most notably BIGNUM assembler
2979 implementation contributed by IBM.
2980 [Suresh Chari, Peter Waltenberg, Andy Polyakov]
2982 *) The new 'RSA_generate_key_ex' function now takes a BIGNUM for the public
2983 exponent rather than 'unsigned long'. There is a corresponding change to
2984 the new 'rsa_keygen' element of the RSA_METHOD structure.
2985 [Jelte Jansen, Geoff Thorpe]
2987 *) Functionality for creating the initial serial number file is now
2988 moved from CA.pl to the 'ca' utility with a new option -create_serial.
2990 (Before OpenSSL 0.9.7e, CA.pl used to initialize the serial
2991 number file to 1, which is bound to cause problems. To avoid
2992 the problems while respecting compatibility between different 0.9.7
2993 patchlevels, 0.9.7e employed 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in
2994 CA.pl for serial number initialization. With the new release 0.9.8,
2995 we can fix the problem directly in the 'ca' utility.)
2998 *) Reduced header interdepencies by declaring more opaque objects in
2999 ossl_typ.h. As a consequence, including some headers (eg. engine.h) will
3000 give fewer recursive includes, which could break lazy source code - so
3001 this change is covered by the OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol. As always,
3002 developers should define this symbol when building and using openssl to
3003 ensure they track the recommended behaviour, interfaces, [etc], but
3004 backwards-compatible behaviour prevails when this isn't defined.
3007 *) New function X509_POLICY_NODE_print() which prints out policy nodes.
3010 *) Add new EVP function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key and associated functionality.
3011 This will generate a random key of the appropriate length based on the
3012 cipher context. The EVP_CIPHER can provide its own random key generation
3013 routine to support keys of a specific form. This is used in the des and
3014 3des routines to generate a key of the correct parity. Update S/MIME
3015 code to use new functions and hence generate correct parity DES keys.
3016 Add EVP_CHECK_DES_KEY #define to return an error if the key is not
3017 valid (weak or incorrect parity).
3020 *) Add a local set of CRLs that can be used by X509_verify_cert() as well
3021 as looking them up. This is useful when the verified structure may contain
3022 CRLs, for example PKCS#7 signedData. Modify PKCS7_verify() to use any CRLs
3023 present unless the new PKCS7_NO_CRL flag is asserted.
3026 *) Extend ASN1 oid configuration module. It now additionally accepts the
3029 shortName = some long name, 1.2.3.4
3032 *) Reimplemented the BN_CTX implementation. There is now no more static
3033 limitation on the number of variables it can handle nor the depth of the
3034 "stack" handling for BN_CTX_start()/BN_CTX_end() pairs. The stack
3035 information can now expand as required, and rather than having a single
3036 static array of bignums, BN_CTX now uses a linked-list of such arrays
3037 allowing it to expand on demand whilst maintaining the usefulness of
3038 BN_CTX's "bundling".
3041 *) Add a missing BN_CTX parameter to the 'rsa_mod_exp' callback in RSA_METHOD
3042 to allow all RSA operations to function using a single BN_CTX.
3045 *) Preliminary support for certificate policy evaluation and checking. This
3046 is initially intended to pass the tests outlined in "Conformance Testing
3047 of Relying Party Client Certificate Path Processing Logic" v1.07.
3050 *) bn_dup_expand() has been deprecated, it was introduced in 0.9.7 and
3051 remained unused and not that useful. A variety of other little bignum
3052 tweaks and fixes have also been made continuing on from the audit (see
3056 *) Constify all or almost all d2i, c2i, s2i and r2i functions, along with
3057 associated ASN1, EVP and SSL functions and old ASN1 macros.
3060 *) BN_zero() only needs to set 'top' and 'neg' to zero for correct results,
3061 and this should never fail. So the return value from the use of
3062 BN_set_word() (which can fail due to needless expansion) is now deprecated;
3063 if OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined, BN_zero() is a void macro.
3066 *) BN_CTX_get() should return zero-valued bignums, providing the same
3067 initialised value as BN_new().
3068 [Geoff Thorpe, suggested by Ulf Möller]
3070 *) Support for inhibitAnyPolicy certificate extension.
3073 *) An audit of the BIGNUM code is underway, for which debugging code is
3074 enabled when BN_DEBUG is defined. This makes stricter enforcements on what
3075 is considered valid when processing BIGNUMs, and causes execution to
3076 assert() when a problem is discovered. If BN_DEBUG_RAND is defined,
3077 further steps are taken to deliberately pollute unused data in BIGNUM
3078 structures to try and expose faulty code further on. For now, openssl will
3079 (in its default mode of operation) continue to tolerate the inconsistent
3080 forms that it has tolerated in the past, but authors and packagers should
3081 consider trying openssl and their own applications when compiled with
3082 these debugging symbols defined. It will help highlight potential bugs in
3083 their own code, and will improve the test coverage for OpenSSL itself. At
3084 some point, these tighter rules will become openssl's default to improve
3085 maintainability, though the assert()s and other overheads will remain only
3086 in debugging configurations. See bn.h for more details.
3087 [Geoff Thorpe, Nils Larsch, Ulf Möller]
3089 *) BN_CTX_init() has been deprecated, as BN_CTX is an opaque structure
3090 that can only be obtained through BN_CTX_new() (which implicitly
3091 initialises it). The presence of this function only made it possible
3092 to overwrite an existing structure (and cause memory leaks).
3095 *) Because of the callback-based approach for implementing LHASH as a
3096 template type, lh_insert() adds opaque objects to hash-tables and
3097 lh_doall() or lh_doall_arg() are typically used with a destructor callback
3098 to clean up those corresponding objects before destroying the hash table
3099 (and losing the object pointers). So some over-zealous constifications in
3100 LHASH have been relaxed so that lh_insert() does not take (nor store) the
3101 objects as "const" and the lh_doall[_arg] callback wrappers are not
3102 prototyped to have "const" restrictions on the object pointers they are
3103 given (and so aren't required to cast them away any more).
3106 *) The tmdiff.h API was so ugly and minimal that our own timing utility
3107 (speed) prefers to use its own implementation. The two implementations
3108 haven't been consolidated as yet (volunteers?) but the tmdiff API has had
3109 its object type properly exposed (MS_TM) instead of casting to/from "char
3110 *". This may still change yet if someone realises MS_TM and "ms_time_***"
3111 aren't necessarily the greatest nomenclatures - but this is what was used
3112 internally to the implementation so I've used that for now.
3115 *) Ensure that deprecated functions do not get compiled when
3116 OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED is defined. Some "openssl" subcommands and a few of
3117 the self-tests were still using deprecated key-generation functions so
3118 these have been updated also.
3121 *) Reorganise PKCS#7 code to separate the digest location functionality
3122 into PKCS7_find_digest(), digest addtion into PKCS7_bio_add_digest().
3123 New function PKCS7_set_digest() to set the digest type for PKCS#7
3124 digestedData type. Add additional code to correctly generate the
3125 digestedData type and add support for this type in PKCS7 initialization
3129 *) New function PKCS7_set0_type_other() this initializes a PKCS7
3130 structure of type "other".
3133 *) Fix prime generation loop in crypto/bn/bn_prime.pl by making
3134 sure the loop does correctly stop and breaking ("division by zero")
3135 modulus operations are not performed. The (pre-generated) prime
3136 table crypto/bn/bn_prime.h was already correct, but it could not be
3137 re-generated on some platforms because of the "division by zero"
3138 situation in the script.
3139 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
3141 *) Update support for ECC-based TLS ciphersuites according to
3142 draft-ietf-tls-ecc-03.txt: the KDF1 key derivation function with
3143 SHA-1 now is only used for "small" curves (where the
3144 representation of a field element takes up to 24 bytes); for
3145 larger curves, the field element resulting from ECDH is directly
3146 used as premaster secret.
3147 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3149 *) Add code for kP+lQ timings to crypto/ec/ectest.c, and add SEC2
3150 curve secp160r1 to the tests.
3151 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3153 *) Add the possibility to load symbols globally with DSO.
3154 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babin-ebell@trustcenter.de> via Richard Levitte]
3156 *) Add the functions ERR_set_mark() and ERR_pop_to_mark() for better
3157 control of the error stack.
3160 *) Add support for STORE in ENGINE.
3163 *) Add the STORE type. The intention is to provide a common interface
3164 to certificate and key stores, be they simple file-based stores, or
3165 HSM-type store, or LDAP stores, or...
3166 NOTE: The code is currently UNTESTED and isn't really used anywhere.
3169 *) Add a generic structure called OPENSSL_ITEM. This can be used to
3170 pass a list of arguments to any function as well as provide a way
3171 for a function to pass data back to the caller.
3174 *) Add the functions BUF_strndup() and BUF_memdup(). BUF_strndup()
3175 works like BUF_strdup() but can be used to duplicate a portion of
3176 a string. The copy gets NUL-terminated. BUF_memdup() duplicates
3180 *) Add the function sk_find_ex() which works like sk_find(), but will
3181 return an index to an element even if an exact match couldn't be
3182 found. The index is guaranteed to point at the element where the
3183 searched-for key would be inserted to preserve sorting order.
3186 *) Add the function OBJ_bsearch_ex() which works like OBJ_bsearch() but
3187 takes an extra flags argument for optional functionality. Currently,
3188 the following flags are defined:
3190 OBJ_BSEARCH_VALUE_ON_NOMATCH
3191 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3192 element where the comparing function returns a negative or zero
3195 OBJ_BSEARCH_FIRST_VALUE_ON_MATCH
3196 This one gets OBJ_bsearch_ex() to return a pointer to the first
3197 element where the comparing function returns zero. This is useful
3198 if there are more than one element where the comparing function
3202 *) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
3203 in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
3204 CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
3205 as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
3206 this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
3209 *) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
3210 against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
3211 request can be signed by that key (self-signing).
3214 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3215 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3216 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3217 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3218 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3219 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3222 *) Generate muti valued AVAs using '+' notation in config files for
3226 *) Support for nameConstraints certificate extension.
3229 *) Support for policyConstraints certificate extension.
3232 *) Support for policyMappings certificate extension.
3235 *) Make sure the default DSA_METHOD implementation only uses its
3236 dsa_mod_exp() and/or bn_mod_exp() handlers if they are non-NULL,
3237 and change its own handlers to be NULL so as to remove unnecessary
3238 indirection. This lets alternative implementations fallback to the
3239 default implementation more easily.
3242 *) Support for directoryName in GeneralName related extensions
3246 *) Make it possible to link applications using Makefile.shared.
3247 Make that possible even when linking against static libraries!
3250 *) Support for single pass processing for S/MIME signing. This now
3251 means that S/MIME signing can be done from a pipe, in addition
3252 cleartext signing (multipart/signed type) is effectively streaming
3253 and the signed data does not need to be all held in memory.
3255 This is done with a new flag PKCS7_STREAM. When this flag is set
3256 PKCS7_sign() only initializes the PKCS7 structure and the actual signing
3257 is done after the data is output (and digests calculated) in
3258 SMIME_write_PKCS7().
3261 *) Add full support for -rpath/-R, both in shared libraries and
3262 applications, at least on the platforms where it's known how
3266 *) In crypto/ec/ec_mult.c, implement fast point multiplication with
3267 precomputation, based on wNAF splitting: EC_GROUP_precompute_mult()
3268 will now compute a table of multiples of the generator that
3269 makes subsequent invocations of EC_POINTs_mul() or EC_POINT_mul()
3270 faster (notably in the case of a single point multiplication,
3271 scalar * generator).
3272 [Nils Larsch, Bodo Moeller]
3274 *) IPv6 support for certificate extensions. The various extensions
3275 which use the IP:a.b.c.d can now take IPv6 addresses using the
3276 formats of RFC1884 2.2 . IPv6 addresses are now also displayed
3280 *) Added an ENGINE that implements RSA by performing private key
3281 exponentiations with the GMP library. The conversions to and from
3282 GMP's mpz_t format aren't optimised nor are any montgomery forms
3283 cached, and on x86 it appears OpenSSL's own performance has caught up.
3284 However there are likely to be other architectures where GMP could
3285 provide a boost. This ENGINE is not built in by default, but it can be
3286 specified at Configure time and should be accompanied by the necessary
3287 linker additions, eg;
3288 ./config -DOPENSSL_USE_GMP -lgmp
3291 *) "openssl engine" will not display ENGINE/DSO load failure errors when
3292 testing availability of engines with "-t" - the old behaviour is
3293 produced by increasing the feature's verbosity with "-tt".
3296 *) ECDSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
3297 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
3298 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>
3302 *) Key-generation can now be implemented in RSA_METHOD, DSA_METHOD
3303 and DH_METHOD (eg. by ENGINE implementations) to override the normal
3304 software implementations. For DSA and DH, parameter generation can
3305 also be overriden by providing the appropriate method callbacks.
3308 *) Change the "progress" mechanism used in key-generation and
3309 primality testing to functions that take a new BN_GENCB pointer in
3310 place of callback/argument pairs. The new API functions have "_ex"
3311 postfixes and the older functions are reimplemented as wrappers for
3312 the new ones. The OPENSSL_NO_DEPRECATED symbol can be used to hide
3313 declarations of the old functions to help (graceful) attempts to
3314 migrate to the new functions. Also, the new key-generation API
3315 functions operate on a caller-supplied key-structure and return
3316 success/failure rather than returning a key or NULL - this is to
3317 help make "keygen" another member function of RSA_METHOD etc.
3319 Example for using the new callback interface:
3321 int (*my_callback)(int a, int b, BN_GENCB *cb) = ...;
3325 BN_GENCB_set(&my_cb, my_callback, my_arg);
3327 return BN_is_prime_ex(some_bignum, BN_prime_checks, NULL, &cb);
3328 /* For the meaning of a, b in calls to my_callback(), see the
3329 * documentation of the function that calls the callback.
3330 * cb will point to my_cb; my_arg can be retrieved as cb->arg.
3331 * my_callback should return 1 if it wants BN_is_prime_ex()
3332 * to continue, or 0 to stop.
3337 *) Change the ZLIB compression method to be stateful, and make it
3338 available to TLS with the number defined in
3339 draft-ietf-tls-compression-04.txt.
3342 *) Add the ASN.1 structures and functions for CertificatePair, which
3343 is defined as follows (according to X.509_4thEditionDraftV6.pdf):
3345 CertificatePair ::= SEQUENCE {
3346 forward [0] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3347 reverse [1] Certificate OPTIONAL,
3348 -- at least one of the pair shall be present -- }
3350 Also implement the PEM functions to read and write certificate
3351 pairs, and defined the PEM tag as "CERTIFICATE PAIR".
3353 This needed to be defined, mostly for the sake of the LDAP
3354 attribute crossCertificatePair, but may prove useful elsewhere as
3358 *) Make it possible to inhibit symlinking of shared libraries in
3359 Makefile.shared, for Cygwin's sake.
3362 *) Extend the BIGNUM API by creating a function
3363 void BN_set_negative(BIGNUM *a, int neg);
3364 and a macro that behave like
3365 int BN_is_negative(const BIGNUM *a);
3367 to avoid the need to access 'a->neg' directly in applications.
3370 *) Implement fast modular reduction for pseudo-Mersenne primes
3371 used in NIST curves (crypto/bn/bn_nist.c, crypto/ec/ecp_nist.c).
3372 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GFp() will now automatically use this
3374 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3376 *) Add new lock type (CRYPTO_LOCK_BN).
3379 *) Change the ENGINE framework to automatically load engines
3380 dynamically from specific directories unless they could be
3381 found to already be built in or loaded. Move all the
3382 current engines except for the cryptodev one to a new
3384 The engines in engines/ are built as shared libraries if
3385 the "shared" options was given to ./Configure or ./config.
3386 Otherwise, they are inserted in libcrypto.a.
3387 /usr/local/ssl/engines is the default directory for dynamic
3388 engines, but that can be overriden at configure time through
3389 the usual use of --prefix and/or --openssldir, and at run
3390 time with the environment variable OPENSSL_ENGINES.
3391 [Geoff Thorpe and Richard Levitte]
3393 *) Add Makefile.shared, a helper makefile to build shared
3394 libraries. Addapt Makefile.org.
3397 *) Add version info to Win32 DLLs.
3398 [Peter 'Luna' Runestig" <peter@runestig.com>]
3400 *) Add new 'medium level' PKCS#12 API. Certificates and keys
3401 can be added using this API to created arbitrary PKCS#12
3402 files while avoiding the low level API.
3404 New options to PKCS12_create(), key or cert can be NULL and
3405 will then be omitted from the output file. The encryption
3406 algorithm NIDs can be set to -1 for no encryption, the mac
3407 iteration count can be set to 0 to omit the mac.
3409 Enhance pkcs12 utility by making the -nokeys and -nocerts
3410 options work when creating a PKCS#12 file. New option -nomac
3411 to omit the mac, NONE can be set for an encryption algorithm.
3412 New code is modified to use the enhanced PKCS12_create()
3413 instead of the low level API.
3416 *) Extend ASN1 encoder to support indefinite length constructed
3417 encoding. This can output sequences tags and octet strings in
3418 this form. Modify pk7_asn1.c to support indefinite length
3419 encoding. This is experimental and needs additional code to
3420 be useful, such as an ASN1 bio and some enhanced streaming
3423 Extend template encode functionality so that tagging is passed
3424 down to the template encoder.
3427 *) Let 'openssl req' fail if an argument to '-newkey' is not
3428 recognized instead of using RSA as a default.
3431 *) Add support for ECC-based ciphersuites from draft-ietf-tls-ecc-01.txt.
3432 As these are not official, they are not included in "ALL";
3433 the "ECCdraft" ciphersuite group alias can be used to select them.
3434 [Vipul Gupta and Sumit Gupta (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3436 *) Add ECDH engine support.
3437 [Nils Gura and Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3439 *) Add ECDH in new directory crypto/ecdh/.
3440 [Douglas Stebila (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3442 *) Let BN_rand_range() abort with an error after 100 iterations
3443 without success (which indicates a broken PRNG).
3446 *) Change BN_mod_sqrt() so that it verifies that the input value
3447 is really the square of the return value. (Previously,
3448 BN_mod_sqrt would show GIGO behaviour.)
3451 *) Add named elliptic curves over binary fields from X9.62, SECG,
3452 and WAP/WTLS; add OIDs that were still missing.
3454 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3455 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3457 *) Extend the EC library for elliptic curves over binary fields
3458 (new files ec2_smpl.c, ec2_smpt.c, ec2_mult.c in crypto/ec/).
3461 EC_GF2m_simple_method
3465 EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m
3466 EC_GROUP_set_curve_GF2m
3467 EC_GROUP_get_curve_GF2m
3468 EC_POINT_set_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3469 EC_POINT_get_affine_coordinates_GF2m
3470 EC_POINT_set_compressed_coordinates_GF2m
3472 Point compression for binary fields is disabled by default for
3473 patent reasons (compile with OPENSSL_EC_BIN_PT_COMP defined to
3476 As binary polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs, various members
3477 of the EC_GROUP and EC_POINT data structures can be shared
3478 between the implementations for prime fields and binary fields;
3479 the above ..._GF2m functions (except for EX_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m)
3480 are essentially identical to their ..._GFp counterparts.
3481 (For simplicity, the '..._GFp' prefix has been dropped from
3482 various internal method names.)
3484 An internal 'field_div' method (similar to 'field_mul' and
3485 'field_sqr') has been added; this is used only for binary fields.
3487 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3488 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3490 *) Optionally dispatch EC_POINT_mul(), EC_POINT_precompute_mult()
3491 through methods ('mul', 'precompute_mult').
3493 The generic implementations (now internally called 'ec_wNAF_mul'
3494 and 'ec_wNAF_precomputed_mult') remain the default if these
3495 methods are undefined.
3497 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3498 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3500 *) New function EC_GROUP_get_degree, which is defined through
3501 EC_METHOD. For curves over prime fields, this returns the bit
3502 length of the modulus.
3504 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3505 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3507 *) New functions EC_GROUP_dup, EC_POINT_dup.
3508 (These simply call ..._new and ..._copy).
3510 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3511 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3513 *) Add binary polynomial arithmetic software in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c.
3514 Polynomials are represented as BIGNUMs (where the sign bit is not
3515 used) in the following functions [macros]:
3518 BN_GF2m_sub [= BN_GF2m_add]
3519 BN_GF2m_mod [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_arr]
3520 BN_GF2m_mod_mul [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_mul_arr]
3521 BN_GF2m_mod_sqr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqr_arr]
3523 BN_GF2m_mod_exp [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_exp_arr]
3524 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr]
3525 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr]
3526 BN_GF2m_cmp [= BN_ucmp]
3528 (Note that only the 'mod' functions are actually for fields GF(2^m).
3529 BN_GF2m_add() is misnomer, but this is for the sake of consistency.)
3531 For some functions, an the irreducible polynomial defining a
3532 field can be given as an 'unsigned int[]' with strictly
3533 decreasing elements giving the indices of those bits that are set;
3534 i.e., p[] represents the polynomial
3535 f(t) = t^p[0] + t^p[1] + ... + t^p[k]
3537 p[0] > p[1] > ... > p[k] = 0.
3538 This applies to the following functions:
3543 BN_GF2m_mod_inv_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_inv]
3544 BN_GF2m_mod_div_arr [wrapper for BN_GF2m_mod_div]
3546 BN_GF2m_mod_sqrt_arr
3547 BN_GF2m_mod_solve_quad_arr
3551 Conversion can be performed by the following functions:
3556 bntest.c has additional tests for binary polynomial arithmetic.
3558 Two implementations for BN_GF2m_mod_div() are available.
3559 The default algorithm simply uses BN_GF2m_mod_inv() and
3560 BN_GF2m_mod_mul(). The alternative algorithm is compiled in only
3561 if OPENSSL_SUN_GF2M_DIV is defined (patent pending; read the
3562 copyright notice in crypto/bn/bn_gf2m.c before enabling it).
3564 [Sheueling Chang Shantz and Douglas Stebila
3565 (Sun Microsystems Laboratories)]
3567 *) Add new error code 'ERR_R_DISABLED' that can be used when some
3568 functionality is disabled at compile-time.
3569 [Douglas Stebila <douglas.stebila@sun.com>]
3571 *) Change default behaviour of 'openssl asn1parse' so that more
3572 information is visible when viewing, e.g., a certificate:
3574 Modify asn1_parse2 (crypto/asn1/asn1_par.c) so that in non-'dump'
3575 mode the content of non-printable OCTET STRINGs is output in a
3576 style similar to INTEGERs, but with '[HEX DUMP]' prepended to
3577 avoid the appearance of a printable string.
3578 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3580 *) Add 'asn1_flag' and 'asn1_form' member to EC_GROUP with access
3582 EC_GROUP_set_asn1_flag()
3583 EC_GROUP_get_asn1_flag()
3584 EC_GROUP_set_point_conversion_form()
3585 EC_GROUP_get_point_conversion_form()
3586 These control ASN1 encoding details:
3587 - Curves (i.e., groups) are encoded explicitly unless asn1_flag
3588 has been set to OPENSSL_EC_NAMED_CURVE.
3589 - Points are encoded in uncompressed form by default; options for
3590 asn1_for are as for point2oct, namely
3591 POINT_CONVERSION_COMPRESSED
3592 POINT_CONVERSION_UNCOMPRESSED
3593 POINT_CONVERSION_HYBRID
3595 Also add 'seed' and 'seed_len' members to EC_GROUP with access
3598 EC_GROUP_get0_seed()
3599 EC_GROUP_get_seed_len()
3600 This is used only for ASN1 purposes (so far).
3601 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3603 *) Add 'field_type' member to EC_METHOD, which holds the NID
3604 of the appropriate field type OID. The new function
3605 EC_METHOD_get_field_type() returns this value.
3606 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3611 EC_POINT_point2hex()
3612 EC_POINT_hex2point()
3613 providing useful interfaces to EC_POINT_point2oct() and
3614 EC_POINT_oct2point().
3615 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3617 *) Change internals of the EC library so that the functions
3618 EC_GROUP_set_generator()
3619 EC_GROUP_get_generator()
3620 EC_GROUP_get_order()
3621 EC_GROUP_get_cofactor()
3622 are implemented directly in crypto/ec/ec_lib.c and not dispatched
3623 to methods, which would lead to unnecessary code duplication when
3624 adding different types of curves.
3625 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> with input by Bodo Moeller]
3627 *) Implement compute_wNAF (crypto/ec/ec_mult.c) without BIGNUM
3628 arithmetic, and such that modified wNAFs are generated
3629 (which avoid length expansion in many cases).
3632 *) Add a function EC_GROUP_check_discriminant() (defined via
3633 EC_METHOD) that verifies that the curve discriminant is non-zero.
3635 Add a function EC_GROUP_check() that makes some sanity tests
3636 on a EC_GROUP, its generator and order. This includes
3637 EC_GROUP_check_discriminant().
3638 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3640 *) Add ECDSA in new directory crypto/ecdsa/.
3642 Add applications 'openssl ecparam' and 'openssl ecdsa'
3643 (these are based on 'openssl dsaparam' and 'openssl dsa').
3645 ECDSA support is also included in various other files across the
3646 library. Most notably,
3647 - 'openssl req' now has a '-newkey ecdsa:file' option;
3648 - EVP_PKCS82PKEY (crypto/evp/evp_pkey.c) now can handle ECDSA;
3649 - X509_PUBKEY_get (crypto/asn1/x_pubkey.c) and
3650 d2i_PublicKey (crypto/asn1/d2i_pu.c) have been modified to make
3651 them suitable for ECDSA where domain parameters must be
3652 extracted before the specific public key;
3653 - ECDSA engine support has been added.
3654 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
3656 *) Include some named elliptic curves, and add OIDs from X9.62,
3657 SECG, and WAP/WTLS. Each curve can be obtained from the new
3659 EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(),
3660 and the list of available named curves can be obtained with
3661 EC_get_builtin_curves().
3662 Also add a 'curve_name' member to EC_GROUP objects, which can be
3664 EC_GROUP_set_curve_name()
3665 EC_GROUP_get_curve_name()
3666 [Nils Larsch <larsch@trustcenter.de, Bodo Moeller]
3668 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
3669 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
3670 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
3671 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
3672 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
3673 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
3677 Changes between 0.9.7l and 0.9.7m [23 Feb 2007]
3679 *) Cleanse PEM buffers before freeing them since they may contain
3681 [Benjamin Bennett <ben@psc.edu>]
3683 *) Include "!eNULL" in SSL_DEFAULT_CIPHER_LIST to make sure that
3684 a ciphersuite string such as "DEFAULT:RSA" cannot enable
3685 authentication-only ciphersuites.
3688 *) Since AES128 and AES256 share a single mask bit in the logic of
3689 ssl/ssl_ciph.c, the code for masking out disabled ciphers needs a
3690 kludge to work properly if AES128 is available and AES256 isn't.
3693 *) Expand security boundary to match 1.1.1 module.
3696 *) Remove redundant features: hash file source, editing of test vectors
3697 modify fipsld to use external fips_premain.c signature.
3700 *) New perl script mkfipsscr.pl to create shell scripts or batch files to
3701 run algorithm test programs.
3704 *) Make algorithm test programs more tolerant of whitespace.
3707 *) Have SSL/TLS server implementation tolerate "mismatched" record
3708 protocol version while receiving ClientHello even if the
3709 ClientHello is fragmented. (The server can't insist on the
3710 particular protocol version it has chosen before the ServerHello
3711 message has informed the client about his choice.)
3714 *) Load error codes if they are not already present instead of using a
3715 static variable. This allows them to be cleanly unloaded and reloaded.
3718 Changes between 0.9.7k and 0.9.7l [28 Sep 2006]
3720 *) Introduce limits to prevent malicious keys being able to
3721 cause a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2940)
3722 [Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
3724 *) Fix ASN.1 parsing of certain invalid structures that can result
3725 in a denial of service. (CVE-2006-2937) [Steve Henson]
3727 *) Fix buffer overflow in SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function.
3728 (CVE-2006-3738) [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3730 *) Fix SSL client code which could crash if connecting to a
3731 malicious SSLv2 server. (CVE-2006-4343)
3732 [Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry, Google Security Team]
3734 *) Change ciphersuite string processing so that an explicit
3735 ciphersuite selects this one ciphersuite (so that "AES256-SHA"
3736 will no longer include "AES128-SHA"), and any other similar
3737 ciphersuite (same bitmap) from *other* protocol versions (so that
3738 "RC4-MD5" will still include both the SSL 2.0 ciphersuite and the
3739 SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 ciphersuite). This is a backport combining
3740 changes from 0.9.8b and 0.9.8d.
3743 Changes between 0.9.7j and 0.9.7k [05 Sep 2006]
3745 *) Avoid PKCS #1 v1.5 signature attack discovered by Daniel Bleichenbacher
3746 (CVE-2006-4339) [Ben Laurie and Google Security Team]
3748 *) Change the Unix randomness entropy gathering to use poll() when
3749 possible instead of select(), since the latter has some
3750 undesirable limitations.
3751 [Darryl Miles via Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
3753 *) Disable rogue ciphersuites:
3755 - SSLv2 0x08 0x00 0x80 ("RC4-64-MD5")
3756 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x61 ("EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5")
3757 - SSLv3/TLSv1 0x00 0x60 ("EXP1024-RC4-MD5")
3759 The latter two were purportedly from
3760 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-0[01].txt, but do not really
3763 Also deactive the remaining ciphersuites from
3764 draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-01.txt. These are just as
3765 unofficial, and the ID has long expired.
3768 *) Fix RSA blinding Heisenbug (problems sometimes occured on
3769 dual-core machines) and other potential thread-safety issues.
3772 Changes between 0.9.7i and 0.9.7j [04 May 2006]
3774 *) Adapt fipsld and the build system to link against the validated FIPS
3775 module in FIPS mode.
3778 *) Fixes for VC++ 2005 build under Windows.
3781 *) Add new Windows build target VC-32-GMAKE for VC++. This uses GNU make
3782 from a Windows bash shell such as MSYS. It is autodetected from the
3783 "config" script when run from a VC++ environment. Modify standard VC++
3784 build to use fipscanister.o from the GNU make build.
3787 Changes between 0.9.7h and 0.9.7i [14 Oct 2005]
3789 *) Wrapped the definition of EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE in a #ifdef OPENSSL_FIPS.
3790 The value now differs depending on if you build for FIPS or not.
3791 BEWARE! A program linked with a shared FIPSed libcrypto can't be
3792 safely run with a non-FIPSed libcrypto, as it may crash because of
3793 the difference induced by this change.
3796 Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [11 Oct 2005]
3798 *) Remove the functionality of SSL_OP_MSIE_SSLV2_RSA_PADDING
3799 (part of SSL_OP_ALL). This option used to disable the
3800 countermeasure against man-in-the-middle protocol-version
3801 rollback in the SSL 2.0 server implementation, which is a bad
3802 idea. (CVE-2005-2969)
3804 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Yutaka Oiwa (Research Center
3805 for Information Security, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
3806 Science and Technology [AIST], Japan)]
3808 *) Minimal support for X9.31 signatures and PSS padding modes. This is
3809 mainly for FIPS compliance and not fully integrated at this stage.
3812 *) For DSA signing, unless DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME is set, perform
3813 the exponentiation using a fixed-length exponent. (Otherwise,
3814 the information leaked through timing could expose the secret key
3815 after many signatures; cf. Bleichenbacher's attack on DSA with
3819 *) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
3820 RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
3821 squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
3822 independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
3823 cache-timing and potential related attacks.
3825 BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
3826 and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
3827 BN_FLG_EXP_CONSTTIME is set for the exponent. RSA, DSA, and DH
3828 will use this BN flag for private exponents unless the flag
3829 RSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, DSA_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, or
3830 DH_FLAG_NO_EXP_CONSTTIME, respectively, is set.
3832 [Matthew D Wood (Intel Corp), with some changes by Bodo Moeller]
3834 *) Change the client implementation for SSLv23_method() and
3835 SSLv23_client_method() so that is uses the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0
3836 Client Hello message format if the SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 option is set.
3837 (Previously, the SSL 2.0 backwards compatible Client Hello
3838 message format would be used even with SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2.)
3841 *) Add support for smime-type MIME parameter in S/MIME messages which some
3845 *) New function BN_MONT_CTX_set_locked() to set montgomery parameters in
3846 a threadsafe manner. Modify rsa code to use new function and add calls
3847 to dsa and dh code (which had race conditions before).
3850 *) Include the fixed error library code in the C error file definitions
3851 instead of fixing them up at runtime. This keeps the error code
3852 structures constant.
3855 Changes between 0.9.7f and 0.9.7g [11 Apr 2005]
3857 [NB: OpenSSL 0.9.7h and later 0.9.7 patch levels were released after
3860 *) Fixes for newer kerberos headers. NB: the casts are needed because
3861 the 'length' field is signed on one version and unsigned on another
3862 with no (?) obvious way to tell the difference, without these VC++
3863 complains. Also the "definition" of FAR (blank) is no longer included
3864 nor is the error ENOMEM. KRB5_PRIVATE has to be set to 1 to pick up
3865 some needed definitions.
3868 *) Undo Cygwin change.
3871 *) Added support for proxy certificates according to RFC 3820.
3872 Because they may be a security thread to unaware applications,
3873 they must be explicitely allowed in run-time. See
3874 docs/HOWTO/proxy_certificates.txt for further information.
3877 Changes between 0.9.7e and 0.9.7f [22 Mar 2005]
3879 *) Use (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - 4) bytes of pseudo random data when generating
3880 server and client random values. Previously
3881 (SSL_RANDOM_VALUE - sizeof(time_t)) would be used which would result in
3882 less random data when sizeof(time_t) > 4 (some 64 bit platforms).
3884 This change has negligible security impact because:
3886 1. Server and client random values still have 24 bytes of pseudo random
3889 2. Server and client random values are sent in the clear in the initial
3892 3. The master secret is derived using the premaster secret (48 bytes in
3893 size for static RSA ciphersuites) as well as client server and random
3896 The OpenSSL team would like to thank the UK NISCC for bringing this issue
3899 [Stephen Henson, reported by UK NISCC]
3901 *) Use Windows randomness collection on Cygwin.
3904 *) Fix hang in EGD/PRNGD query when communication socket is closed
3905 prematurely by EGD/PRNGD.
3906 [Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au> via Lutz Jänicke, resolves #1014]
3908 *) Prompt for pass phrases when appropriate for PKCS12 input format.
3911 *) Back-port of selected performance improvements from development
3912 branch, as well as improved support for PowerPC platforms.
3915 *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
3916 failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.
3917 [Nauticus Networks SSL Team <openssl@nauticusnet.com>, Steve Henson]
3919 *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
3922 *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
3923 this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
3924 (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
3928 *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
3929 the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
3930 side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
3931 not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
3933 - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
3934 has chosen to ignore this fault)
3935 - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
3936 - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
3940 Changes between 0.9.7d and 0.9.7e [25 Oct 2004]
3942 *) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
3943 environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
3944 entries during signature checking and serial number lookup. Now the
3945 encoding is cached and the serial number sort performed under a lock.
3946 Add new STACK function sk_is_sorted().
3949 *) Add Delta CRL to the extension code.
3952 *) Various fixes to s3_pkt.c so alerts are sent properly.
3953 [David Holmes <d.holmes@f5.com>]
3955 *) Reduce the chances of duplicate issuer name and serial numbers (in
3956 violation of RFC3280) using the OpenSSL certificate creation utilities.
3957 This is done by creating a random 64 bit value for the initial serial
3958 number when a serial number file is created or when a self signed
3959 certificate is created using 'openssl req -x509'. The initial serial
3960 number file is created using 'openssl x509 -next_serial' in CA.pl
3961 rather than being initialized to 1.
3964 Changes between 0.9.7c and 0.9.7d [17 Mar 2004]
3966 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
3967 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
3968 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3970 *) Fix flaw in SSL/TLS handshaking when using Kerberos ciphersuites
3972 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
3974 *) Make it possible to have multiple active certificates with the same
3975 subject in the CA index file. This is done only if the keyword
3976 'unique_subject' is set to 'no' in the main CA section (default
3977 if 'CA_default') of the configuration file. The value is saved
3978 with the database itself in a separate index attribute file,
3979 named like the index file with '.attr' appended to the name.
3982 *) X509 verify fixes. Disable broken certificate workarounds when
3983 X509_V_FLAGS_X509_STRICT is set. Check CRL issuer has cRLSign set if
3984 keyUsage extension present. Don't accept CRLs with unhandled critical
3985 extensions: since verify currently doesn't process CRL extensions this
3986 rejects a CRL with *any* critical extensions. Add new verify error codes
3990 *) When creating an OCSP nonce use an OCTET STRING inside the extnValue.
3991 A clarification of RFC2560 will require the use of OCTET STRINGs and
3992 some implementations cannot handle the current raw format. Since OpenSSL
3993 copies and compares OCSP nonces as opaque blobs without any attempt at
3994 parsing them this should not create any compatibility issues.
3997 *) New md flag EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE this allows md_data to be reused when
3998 calling EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() to avoid calling OPENSSL_malloc(). Without
3999 this HMAC (and other) operations are several times slower than OpenSSL
4003 *) Print out GeneralizedTime and UTCTime in ASN1_STRING_print_ex().
4004 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4006 *) Use the correct content when signing type "other".
4009 Changes between 0.9.7b and 0.9.7c [30 Sep 2003]
4011 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
4013 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
4014 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
4016 Free up ASN1_TYPE correctly if ANY type is invalid (CVE-2003-0545).
4018 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
4019 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
4023 *) New -ignore_err option in ocsp application to stop the server
4024 exiting on the first error in a request.
4027 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
4028 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
4032 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
4033 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
4034 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
4035 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
4037 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
4038 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
4041 *) Change AES_cbc_encrypt() so it outputs exact multiple of
4042 blocks during encryption.
4045 *) Various fixes to base64 BIO and non blocking I/O. On write
4046 flushes were not handled properly if the BIO retried. On read
4047 data was not being buffered properly and had various logic bugs.
4048 This also affects blocking I/O when the data being decoded is a
4052 *) Various S/MIME bugfixes and compatibility changes:
4053 output correct application/pkcs7 MIME type if
4054 PKCS7_NOOLDMIMETYPE is set. Tolerate some broken signatures.
4055 Output CR+LF for EOL if PKCS7_CRLFEOL is set (this makes opening
4056 of files as .eml work). Correctly handle very long lines in MIME
4060 Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.7b [10 Apr 2003]
4062 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
4063 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
4064 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
4065 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
4068 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
4069 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
4070 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
4071 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
4072 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
4074 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
4075 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
4076 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
4077 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
4078 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
4079 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
4080 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
4081 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
4082 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
4085 *) Fixed a typo bug that would cause ENGINE_set_default() to set an
4086 ENGINE as defaults for all supported algorithms irrespective of
4087 the 'flags' parameter. 'flags' is now honoured, so applications
4088 should make sure they are passing it correctly.
4091 *) Target "mingw" now allows native Windows code to be generated in
4092 the Cygwin environment as well as with the MinGW compiler.
4095 Changes between 0.9.7 and 0.9.7a [19 Feb 2003]
4097 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
4098 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
4099 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
4100 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
4101 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
4103 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
4104 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
4105 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
4107 *) Make the no-err option work as intended. The intention with no-err
4108 is not to have the whole error stack handling routines removed from
4109 libcrypto, it's only intended to remove all the function name and
4110 reason texts, thereby removing some of the footprint that may not
4111 be interesting if those errors aren't displayed anyway.
4113 NOTE: it's still possible for any application or module to have it's
4114 own set of error texts inserted. The routines are there, just not
4115 used by default when no-err is given.
4118 *) Add support for FreeBSD on IA64.
4119 [dirk.meyer@dinoex.sub.org via Richard Levitte, resolves #454]
4121 *) Adjust DES_cbc_cksum() so it returns the same value as the MIT
4122 Kerberos function mit_des_cbc_cksum(). Before this change,
4123 the value returned by DES_cbc_cksum() was like the one from
4124 mit_des_cbc_cksum(), except the bytes were swapped.
4125 [Kevin Greaney <Kevin.Greaney@hp.com> and Richard Levitte]
4127 *) Allow an application to disable the automatic SSL chain building.
4128 Before this a rather primitive chain build was always performed in
4129 ssl3_output_cert_chain(): an application had no way to send the
4130 correct chain if the automatic operation produced an incorrect result.
4132 Now the chain builder is disabled if either:
4134 1. Extra certificates are added via SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
4136 2. The mode flag SSL_MODE_NO_AUTO_CHAIN is set.
4138 The reasoning behind this is that an application would not want the
4139 auto chain building to take place if extra chain certificates are
4140 present and it might also want a means of sending no additional
4141 certificates (for example the chain has two certificates and the
4145 *) Add the possibility to build without the ENGINE framework.
4146 [Steven Reddie <smr@essemer.com.au> via Richard Levitte]
4148 *) Under Win32 gmtime() can return NULL: check return value in
4149 OPENSSL_gmtime(). Add error code for case where gmtime() fails.
4152 *) DSA routines: under certain error conditions uninitialized BN objects
4153 could be freed. Solution: make sure initialization is performed early
4154 enough. (Reported and fix supplied by Ivan D Nestlerode <nestler@MIT.EDU>,
4155 Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de> via PR#459)
4158 *) Another fix for SSLv2 session ID handling: the session ID was incorrectly
4159 checked on reconnect on the client side, therefore session resumption
4160 could still fail with a "ssl session id is different" error. This
4161 behaviour is masked when SSL_OP_ALL is used due to
4162 SSL_OP_MICROSOFT_SESS_ID_BUG being set.
4163 Behaviour observed by Crispin Flowerday <crispin@flowerday.cx> as
4164 followup to PR #377.
4167 *) IA-32 assembler support enhancements: unified ELF targets, support
4168 for SCO/Caldera platforms, fix for Cygwin shared build.
4171 *) Add support for FreeBSD on sparc64. As a consequence, support for
4172 FreeBSD on non-x86 processors is separate from x86 processors on
4173 the config script, much like the NetBSD support.

4195 *) The hw_ncipher.c engine requires dynamic locks. Unfortunately, it
4196 seems that in spite of existing for more than a year, many application
4197 author have done nothing to provide the necessary callbacks, which
4198 means that this particular engine will not work properly anywhere.
4199 This is a very unfortunate situation which forces us, in the name
4200 of usability, to give the hw_ncipher.c a static lock, which is part
4202 NOTE: This is for the 0.9.7 series ONLY. This hack will never
4203 appear in 0.9.8 or later. We EXPECT application authors to have
4204 dealt properly with this when 0.9.8 is released (unless we actually
4205 make such changes in the libcrypto locking code that changes will
4206 have to be made anyway).
4209 *) In asn1_d2i_read_bio() repeatedly call BIO_read() until all content
4210 octets have been read, EOF or an error occurs. Without this change
4211 some truncated ASN1 structures will not produce an error.
4214 *) Disable Heimdal support, since it hasn't been fully implemented.
4215 Still give the possibility to force the use of Heimdal, but with
4216 warnings and a request that patches get sent to openssl-dev.

4220 INSTALL.WCE and appropriate conditionals to make it build.

4260 representations in a platform independent manner.
4261 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4263 *) Add CRYPTO_realloc_clean() to avoid information leakage when
4264 resizing buffers containing secrets, and use where appropriate.
4265 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4267 *) Add BIO_indent() to avoid much slightly worrying code to do
4269 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4271 *) Convert sprintf()/BIO_puts() to BIO_printf().
4272 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4274 *) buffer_gets() could terminate with the buffer only half
4276 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4278 *) Add assertions to prevent user-supplied crypto functions from
4279 overflowing internal buffers by having large block sizes, etc.
4280 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4282 *) New OPENSSL_assert() macro (similar to assert(), but enabled
4284 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4286 *) Eliminate unused copy of key in RC4.
4287 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4289 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized buffers for IV in pem.h.
4290 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4292 *) Fix off-by-one error in EGD path.
4293 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4295 *) If RANDFILE path is too long, ignore instead of truncating.
4296 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4298 *) Eliminate unused and incorrectly sized X.509 structure
4300 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4302 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous function knumber().
4303 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4305 *) Eliminate unused and dangerous structure, KSSL_ERR.
4306 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4308 *) Protect against overlong session ID context length in an encoded
4309 session object. Since these are local, this does not appear to be
4311 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4313 *) Change from security patch (see 0.9.6e below) that did not affect
4314 the 0.9.6 release series:
4316 Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
4317 supply an oversized master key in Kerberos-enabled versions.
4319 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
4321 *) Change the SSL kerb5 codes to match RFC 2712.
4324 *) Make -nameopt work fully for req and add -reqopt switch.
4325 [Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>, Steve Henson]
4327 *) The "block size" for block ciphers in CFB and OFB mode should be 1.
4328 [Steve Henson, reported by Yngve Nysaeter Pettersen <yngve@opera.com>]
4330 *) Make sure tests can be performed even if the corresponding algorithms
4331 have been removed entirely. This was also the last step to make
4332 OpenSSL compilable with DJGPP under all reasonable conditions.
4333 [Richard Levitte, Doug Kaufman <dkaufman@rahul.net>]
4335 *) Add cipher selection rules COMPLEMENTOFALL and COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT
4336 to allow version independent disabling of normally unselected ciphers,
4337 which may be activated as a side-effect of selecting a single cipher.
4339 (E.g., cipher list string "RSA" enables ciphersuites that are left
4340 out of "ALL" because they do not provide symmetric encryption.
4341 "RSA:!COMPLEMEMENTOFALL" avoids these unsafe ciphersuites.)
4342 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
4344 *) Add appropriate support for separate platform-dependent build
4345 directories. The recommended way to make a platform-dependent
4346 build directory is the following (tested on Linux), maybe with
4349 # Place yourself outside of the OpenSSL source tree. In
4350 # this example, the environment variable OPENSSL_SOURCE
4351 # is assumed to contain the absolute OpenSSL source directory.
4352 mkdir -p objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4353 cd objtree/"`uname -s`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`"
4354 (cd $OPENSSL_SOURCE; find . -type f) | while read F; do
4355 mkdir -p `dirname $F`
4356 ln -s $OPENSSL_SOURCE/$F $F
4359 To be absolutely sure not to disturb the source tree, a "make clean"
4360 is a good thing. If it isn't successfull, don't worry about it,
4361 it probably means the source directory is very clean.
4364 *) Make sure any ENGINE control commands make local copies of string
4365 pointers passed to them whenever necessary. Otherwise it is possible
4366 the caller may have overwritten (or deallocated) the original string
4367 data when a later ENGINE operation tries to use the stored values.
4368 [Götz Babin-Ebell <babinebell@trustcenter.de>]
4370 *) Improve diagnostics in file reading and command-line digests.
4371 [Ben Laurie aided and abetted by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>]
4373 *) Add AES modes CFB and OFB to the object database. Correct an
4374 error in AES-CFB decryption.
4377 *) Remove most calls to EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() in evp_enc.c, this
4378 allows existing EVP_CIPHER_CTX structures to be reused after
4379 calling EVP_*Final(). This behaviour is used by encryption
4380 BIOs and some applications. This has the side effect that
4381 applications must explicitly clean up cipher contexts with
4382 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() or they will leak memory.
4385 *) Check the values of dna and dnb in bn_mul_recursive before calling
4386 bn_mul_comba (a non zero value means the a or b arrays do not contain
4387 n2 elements) and fallback to bn_mul_normal if either is not zero.
4390 *) Fix escaping of non-ASCII characters when using the -subj option
4391 of the "openssl req" command line tool. (Robert Joop <joop@fokus.gmd.de>)
4394 *) Make object definitions compliant to LDAP (RFC2256): SN is the short
4395 form for "surname", serialNumber has no short form.
4396 Use "mail" as the short name for "rfc822Mailbox" according to RFC2798;
4397 therefore remove "mail" short name for "internet 7".
4398 The OID for unique identifiers in X509 certificates is
4399 x500UniqueIdentifier, not uniqueIdentifier.
4400 Some more OID additions. (Michael Bell <michael.bell@rz.hu-berlin.de>)
4403 *) Add an "init" command to the ENGINE config module and auto initialize
4404 ENGINEs. Without any "init" command the ENGINE will be initialized
4405 after all ctrl commands have been executed on it. If init=1 the
4406 ENGINE is initailized at that point (ctrls before that point are run
4407 on the uninitialized ENGINE and after on the initialized one). If
4408 init=0 then the ENGINE will not be iniatialized at all.
4411 *) Fix the 'app_verify_callback' interface so that the user-defined
4412 argument is actually passed to the callback: In the
4413 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback() prototype, the callback
4414 declaration has been changed from
4417 int (*cb)(X509_STORE_CTX *,void *);
4418 in ssl_verify_cert_chain (ssl/ssl_cert.c), the call
4419 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx)
4420 has been changed into
4421 i=s->ctx->app_verify_callback(&ctx, s->ctx->app_verify_arg).
4423 To update applications using SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback(),
4424 a dummy argument can be added to their callback functions.
4425 [D. K. Smetters <smetters@parc.xerox.com>]
4427 *) Added the '4758cca' ENGINE to support IBM 4758 cards.
4428 [Maurice Gittens <maurice@gittens.nl>, touchups by Geoff Thorpe]
4430 *) Add and OPENSSL_LOAD_CONF define which will cause
4431 OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() to load the openssl.cnf config file.
4432 This allows older applications to transparently support certain
4433 OpenSSL features: such as crypto acceleration and dynamic ENGINE loading.
4434 Two new functions OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_noconf() which will never
4435 load the config file and OPENSSL_add_all_algorithms_conf() which will
4436 always load it have also been added.
4439 *) Add the OFB, CFB and CTR (all with 128 bit feedback) to AES.
4440 Adjust NIDs and EVP layer.
4441 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4443 *) Config modules support in openssl utility.
4445 Most commands now load modules from the config file,
4446 though in a few (such as version) this isn't done
4447 because it couldn't be used for anything.
4449 In the case of ca and req the config file used is
4450 the same as the utility itself: that is the -config
4451 command line option can be used to specify an
4455 *) Move default behaviour from OPENSSL_config(). If appname is NULL
4456 use "openssl_conf" if filename is NULL use default openssl config file.
4459 *) Add an argument to OPENSSL_config() to allow the use of an alternative
4460 config section name. Add a new flag to tolerate a missing config file
4461 and move code to CONF_modules_load_file().
4464 *) Support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated Encryption
4465 Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
4466 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted/corrected
4467 to work with the new engine framework.
4468 [AEP Inc. and Richard Levitte]
4470 *) Support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from Baltimore
4471 Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
4472 The support was copied from 0.9.6c [engine] and adapted
4473 to work with the new engine framework.
4476 *) Have the CHIL engine fork-safe (as defined by nCipher) and actually
4477 make the newer ENGINE framework commands for the CHIL engine work.
4478 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> and Richard Levitte]
4480 *) Make it possible to produce shared libraries on ReliantUNIX.
4481 [Robert Dahlem <Robert.Dahlem@ffm2.siemens.de> via Richard Levitte]
4483 *) Add the configuration target debug-linux-ppro.
4484 Make 'openssl rsa' use the general key loading routines
4485 implemented in apps.c, and make those routines able to
4486 handle the key format FORMAT_NETSCAPE and the variant
4488 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4490 *) Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
4491 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
4493 *) Add -keyform to rsautl, and document -engine.
4494 [Richard Levitte, inspired by Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee>]
4496 *) Change BIO_new_file (crypto/bio/bss_file.c) to use new
4497 BIO_R_NO_SUCH_FILE error code rather than the generic
4498 ERR_R_SYS_LIB error code if fopen() fails with ENOENT.
4501 *) Add new functions
4503 ERR_peek_last_error_line
4504 ERR_peek_last_error_line_data.
4505 These are similar to
4508 ERR_peek_error_line_data,
4509 but report on the latest error recorded rather than the first one
4510 still in the error queue.
4511 [Ben Laurie, Bodo Moeller]
4513 *) default_algorithms option in ENGINE config module. This allows things
4515 default_algorithms = ALL
4516 default_algorithms = RSA, DSA, RAND, CIPHERS, DIGESTS
4519 *) Prelminary ENGINE config module.
4522 *) New experimental application configuration code.
4525 *) Change the AES code to follow the same name structure as all other
4526 symmetric ciphers, and behave the same way. Move everything to
4527 the directory crypto/aes, thereby obsoleting crypto/rijndael.
4528 [Stephen Sprunk <stephen@sprunk.org> and Richard Levitte]
4530 *) SECURITY: remove unsafe setjmp/signal interaction from ui_openssl.c.
4531 [Ben Laurie and Theo de Raadt]
4533 *) Add option to output public keys in req command.
4534 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4536 *) Use wNAFs in EC_POINTs_mul() for improved efficiency
4537 (up to about 10% better than before for P-192 and P-224).
4540 *) New functions/macros
4542 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(ctx, cb)
4543 SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(ctx, arg)
4544 SSL_set_msg_callback(ssl, cb)
4545 SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(ssl, arg)
4547 to request calling a callback function
4549 void cb(int write_p, int version, int content_type,
4550 const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg)
4552 whenever a protocol message has been completely received
4553 (write_p == 0) or sent (write_p == 1). Here 'version' is the
4554 protocol version according to which the SSL library interprets
4555 the current protocol message (SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION, or
4556 TLS1_VERSION). 'content_type' is 0 in the case of SSL 2.0, or
4557 the content type as defined in the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 protocol
4558 specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21), handshake(22)).
4559 'buf' and 'len' point to the actual message, 'ssl' to the
4560 SSL object, and 'arg' is the application-defined value set by
4561 SSL[_CTX]_set_msg_callback_arg().
4563 'openssl s_client' and 'openssl s_server' have new '-msg' options
4564 to enable a callback that displays all protocol messages.
4567 *) Change the shared library support so shared libraries are built as
4568 soon as the corresponding static library is finished, and thereby get
4569 openssl and the test programs linked against the shared library.
4570 This still only happens when the keyword "shard" has been given to
4571 the configuration scripts.
4573 NOTE: shared library support is still an experimental thing, and
4574 backward binary compatibility is still not guaranteed.
4575 ["Maciej W. Rozycki" <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl> and Richard Levitte]
4577 *) Add support for Subject Information Access extension.
4578 [Peter Sylvester <Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr>]
4580 *) Make BUF_MEM_grow() behaviour more consistent: Initialise to zero
4581 additional bytes when new memory had to be allocated, not just
4582 when reusing an existing buffer.
4585 *) New command line and configuration option 'utf8' for the req command.
4586 This allows field values to be specified as UTF8 strings.
4589 *) Add -multi and -mr options to "openssl speed" - giving multiple parallel
4590 runs for the former and machine-readable output for the latter.
4593 *) Add '-noemailDN' option to 'openssl ca'. This prevents inclusion
4594 of the e-mail address in the DN (i.e., it will go into a certificate
4595 extension only). The new configuration file option 'email_in_dn = no'
4596 has the same effect.
4597 [Massimiliano Pala madwolf@openca.org]
4599 *) Change all functions with names starting with des_ to be starting
4600 with DES_ instead. Add wrappers that are compatible with libdes,
4601 but are named _ossl_old_des_*. Finally, add macros that map the
4602 des_* symbols to the corresponding _ossl_old_des_* if libdes
4603 compatibility is desired. If OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility is
4604 desired, the des_* symbols will be mapped to DES_*, with one
4607 Since we provide two compatibility mappings, the user needs to
4608 define the macro OPENSSL_DES_LIBDES_COMPATIBILITY if libdes
4609 compatibility is desired. The default (i.e., when that macro
4610 isn't defined) is OpenSSL 0.9.6c compatibility.
4612 There are also macros that enable and disable the support of old
4613 des functions altogether. Those are OPENSSL_ENABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT
4614 and OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT. If none or both of those
4615 are defined, the default will apply: to support the old des routines.
4617 In either case, one must include openssl/des.h to get the correct
4618 definitions. Do not try to just include openssl/des_old.h, that
4621 NOTE: This is a major break of an old API into a new one. Software
4622 authors are encouraged to switch to the DES_ style functions. Some
4623 time in the future, des_old.h and the libdes compatibility functions
4624 will be disable (i.e. OPENSSL_DISABLE_OLD_DES_SUPPORT will be the
4625 default), and then completely removed.
4628 *) Test for certificates which contain unsupported critical extensions.
4629 If such a certificate is found during a verify operation it is
4630 rejected by default: this behaviour can be overridden by either
4631 handling the new error X509_V_ERR_UNHANDLED_CRITICAL_EXTENSION or
4632 by setting the verify flag X509_V_FLAG_IGNORE_CRITICAL. A new function
4633 X509_supported_extension() has also been added which returns 1 if a
4634 particular extension is supported.
4637 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP cipher functions in similar way to digests
4638 to retain compatibility with existing code.
4641 *) Modify the behaviour of EVP_DigestInit() and EVP_DigestFinal() to retain
4642 compatibility with existing code. In particular the 'ctx' parameter does
4643 not have to be to be initialized before the call to EVP_DigestInit() and
4644 it is tidied up after a call to EVP_DigestFinal(). New function
4645 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() which does not tidy up the ctx. Similarly function
4646 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() changed to not require the destination to be
4647 initialized valid and new function EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() added which
4648 requires the destination to be valid.
4650 Modify all the OpenSSL digest calls to use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
4651 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
4654 *) Change ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) and the functions using it
4655 so that complete 'Handshake' protocol structures are kept in memory
4656 instead of overwriting 'msg_type' and 'length' with 'body' data.
4659 *) Add an implementation of SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack for Win32.
4660 [Massimo Santin via Richard Levitte]
4662 *) Major restructuring to the underlying ENGINE code. This includes
4663 reduction of linker bloat, separation of pure "ENGINE" manipulation
4664 (initialisation, etc) from functionality dealing with implementations
4665 of specific crypto iterfaces. This change also introduces integrated
4666 support for symmetric ciphers and digest implementations - so ENGINEs
4667 can now accelerate these by providing EVP_CIPHER and EVP_MD
4668 implementations of their own. This is detailed in crypto/engine/README
4669 as it couldn't be adequately described here. However, there are a few
4670 API changes worth noting - some RSA, DSA, DH, and RAND functions that
4671 were changed in the original introduction of ENGINE code have now
4672 reverted back - the hooking from this code to ENGINE is now a good
4673 deal more passive and at run-time, operations deal directly with
4674 RSA_METHODs, DSA_METHODs (etc) as they did before, rather than
4675 dereferencing through an ENGINE pointer any more. Also, the ENGINE
4676 functions dealing with BN_MOD_EXP[_CRT] handlers have been removed -
4677 they were not being used by the framework as there is no concept of a
4678 BIGNUM_METHOD and they could not be generalised to the new
4679 'ENGINE_TABLE' mechanism that underlies the new code. Similarly,
4680 ENGINE_cpy() has been removed as it cannot be consistently defined in
4684 *) Change ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_check() to allow fractional seconds.
4687 *) Change mkdef.pl to sort symbols that get the same entry number,
4688 and make sure the automatically generated functions ERR_load_*
4689 become part of libeay.num as well.
4692 *) New function SSL_renegotiate_pending(). This returns true once
4693 renegotiation has been requested (either SSL_renegotiate() call
4694 or HelloRequest/ClientHello receveived from the peer) and becomes
4695 false once a handshake has been completed.
4696 (For servers, SSL_renegotiate() followed by SSL_do_handshake()
4697 sends a HelloRequest, but does not ensure that a handshake takes
4698 place. SSL_renegotiate_pending() is useful for checking if the
4699 client has followed the request.)
4702 *) New SSL option SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION.
4703 By default, clients may request session resumption even during
4704 renegotiation (if session ID contexts permit); with this option,
4705 session resumption is possible only in the first handshake.
4707 SSL_OP_ALL is now 0x00000FFFL instead of 0x000FFFFFL. This makes
4708 more bits available for options that should not be part of
4709 SSL_OP_ALL (such as SSL_OP_NO_SESSION_RESUMPTION_ON_RENEGOTIATION).
4712 *) Add some demos for certificate and certificate request creation.
4715 *) Make maximum certificate chain size accepted from the peer application
4716 settable (SSL*_get/set_max_cert_list()), as proposed by
4717 "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.
4720 *) Add support for shared libraries for Unixware-7
4721 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
4724 *) Add a "destroy" handler to ENGINEs that allows structural cleanup to
4725 be done prior to destruction. Use this to unload error strings from
4726 ENGINEs that load their own error strings. NB: This adds two new API
4727 functions to "get" and "set" this destroy handler in an ENGINE.
4730 *) Alter all existing ENGINE implementations (except "openssl" and
4731 "openbsd") to dynamically instantiate their own error strings. This
4732 makes them more flexible to be built both as statically-linked ENGINEs
4733 and self-contained shared-libraries loadable via the "dynamic" ENGINE.
4734 Also, add stub code to each that makes building them as self-contained
4735 shared-libraries easier (see README.ENGINE).
4738 *) Add a "dynamic" ENGINE that provides a mechanism for binding ENGINE
4739 implementations into applications that are completely implemented in
4740 self-contained shared-libraries. The "dynamic" ENGINE exposes control
4741 commands that can be used to configure what shared-library to load and
4742 to control aspects of the way it is handled. Also, made an update to
4743 the README.ENGINE file that brings its information up-to-date and
4744 provides some information and instructions on the "dynamic" ENGINE
4745 (ie. how to use it, how to build "dynamic"-loadable ENGINEs, etc).
4748 *) Make it possible to unload ranges of ERR strings with a new
4749 "ERR_unload_strings" function.
4752 *) Add a copy() function to EVP_MD.
4755 *) Make EVP_MD routines take a context pointer instead of just the
4756 md_data void pointer.
4759 *) Add flags to EVP_MD and EVP_MD_CTX. EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates
4760 that the digest can only process a single chunk of data
4761 (typically because it is provided by a piece of
4762 hardware). EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT indicates that the application
4763 is only going to provide a single chunk of data, and hence the
4764 framework needn't accumulate the data for oneshot drivers.
4767 *) As with "ERR", make it possible to replace the underlying "ex_data"
4768 functions. This change also alters the storage and management of global
4769 ex_data state - it's now all inside ex_data.c and all "class" code (eg.
4770 RSA, BIO, SSL_CTX, etc) no longer stores its own STACKS and per-class
4771 index counters. The API functions that use this state have been changed
4772 to take a "class_index" rather than pointers to the class's local STACK
4773 and counter, and there is now an API function to dynamically create new
4774 classes. This centralisation allows us to (a) plug a lot of the
4775 thread-safety problems that existed, and (b) makes it possible to clean
4776 up all allocated state using "CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data()". W.r.t. (b)
4777 such data would previously have always leaked in application code and
4778 workarounds were in place to make the memory debugging turn a blind eye
4779 to it. Application code that doesn't use this new function will still
4780 leak as before, but their memory debugging output will announce it now
4781 rather than letting it slide.
4783 Besides the addition of CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data(), another API change
4784 induced by the "ex_data" overhaul is that X509_STORE_CTX_init() now
4785 has a return value to indicate success or failure.
4788 *) Make it possible to replace the underlying "ERR" functions such that the
4789 global state (2 LHASH tables and 2 locks) is only used by the "default"
4790 implementation. This change also adds two functions to "get" and "set"
4791 the implementation prior to it being automatically set the first time
4792 any other ERR function takes place. Ie. an application can call "get",
4793 pass the return value to a module it has just loaded, and that module
4794 can call its own "set" function using that value. This means the
4795 module's "ERR" operations will use (and modify) the error state in the
4796 application and not in its own statically linked copy of OpenSSL code.
4799 *) Give DH, DSA, and RSA types their own "**_up_ref()" function to increment
4800 reference counts. This performs normal REF_PRINT/REF_CHECK macros on
4801 the operation, and provides a more encapsulated way for external code
4802 (crypto/evp/ and ssl/) to do this. Also changed the evp and ssl code
4803 to use these functions rather than manually incrementing the counts.
4805 Also rename "DSO_up()" function to more descriptive "DSO_up_ref()".
4808 *) Add EVP test program.
4811 *) Add symmetric cipher support to ENGINE. Expect the API to change!
4814 *) New CRL functions: X509_CRL_set_version(), X509_CRL_set_issuer_name()
4815 X509_CRL_set_lastUpdate(), X509_CRL_set_nextUpdate(), X509_CRL_sort(),
4816 X509_REVOKED_set_serialNumber(), and X509_REVOKED_set_revocationDate().
4817 These allow a CRL to be built without having to access X509_CRL fields
4818 directly. Modify 'ca' application to use new functions.
4821 *) Move SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG out of the SSL_OP_ALL list of recommended
4822 bug workarounds. Rollback attack detection is a security feature.
4823 The problem will only arise on OpenSSL servers when TLSv1 is not
4824 available (sslv3_server_method() or SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1).
4825 Software authors not wanting to support TLSv1 will have special reasons
4826 for their choice and can explicitly enable this option.
4827 [Bodo Moeller, Lutz Jaenicke]
4829 *) Rationalise EVP so it can be extended: don't include a union of
4830 cipher/digest structures, add init/cleanup functions for EVP_MD_CTX
4831 (similar to those existing for EVP_CIPHER_CTX).
4836 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&md); /* new function call */
4837 EVP_DigestInit(&md, EVP_sha1());
4838 EVP_DigestUpdate(&md, in, len);
4839 EVP_DigestFinal(&md, out, NULL);
4840 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(&md); /* new function call */
4844 *) Make DES key schedule conform to the usual scheme, as well as
4845 correcting its structure. This means that calls to DES functions
4846 now have to pass a pointer to a des_key_schedule instead of a
4847 plain des_key_schedule (which was actually always a pointer
4850 des_key_schedule ks;
4852 des_set_key_checked(..., &ks);
4853 des_ncbc_encrypt(..., &ks, ...);
4855 (Note that a later change renames 'des_...' into 'DES_...'.)
4858 *) Initial reduction of linker bloat: the use of some functions, such as
4859 PEM causes large amounts of unused functions to be linked in due to
4860 poor organisation. For example pem_all.c contains every PEM function
4861 which has a knock on effect of linking in large amounts of (unused)
4862 ASN1 code. Grouping together similar functions and splitting unrelated
4863 functions prevents this.
4866 *) Cleanup of EVP macros.
4869 *) Change historical references to {NID,SN,LN}_des_ede and ede3 to add the
4870 correct _ecb suffix.
4873 *) Add initial OCSP responder support to ocsp application. The
4874 revocation information is handled using the text based index
4875 use by the ca application. The responder can either handle
4876 requests generated internally, supplied in files (for example
4877 via a CGI script) or using an internal minimal server.
4880 *) Add configuration choices to get zlib compression for TLS.
4883 *) Changes to Kerberos SSL for RFC 2712 compliance:
4884 1. Implemented real KerberosWrapper, instead of just using
4885 KRB5 AP_REQ message. [Thanks to Simon Wilkinson <sxw@sxw.org.uk>]
4886 2. Implemented optional authenticator field of KerberosWrapper.
4888 Added openssl-style ASN.1 macros for Kerberos ticket, ap_req,
4889 and authenticator structs; see crypto/krb5/.
4891 Generalized Kerberos calls to support multiple Kerberos libraries.
4892 [Vern Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
4893 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>
4894 via Richard Levitte]
4896 *) Cause 'openssl speed' to use fully hard-coded DSA keys as it
4897 already does with RSA. testdsa.h now has 'priv_key/pub_key'
4898 values for each of the key sizes rather than having just
4899 parameters (and 'speed' generating keys each time).
4902 *) Speed up EVP routines.
4905 type 8 bytes 64 bytes 256 bytes 1024 bytes 8192 bytes
4906 des-cbc 4408.85k 5560.51k 5778.46k 5862.20k 5825.16k

4920 *) Added the OS2-EMX target.
4921 ["Brian Havard" <brianh@kheldar.apana.org.au> and Richard Levitte]
4923 *) Rewrite apps to use NCONF routines instead of the old CONF. New functions
4924 to support NCONF routines in extension code. New function CONF_set_nconf()
4925 to allow functions which take an NCONF to also handle the old LHASH
4926 structure: this means that the old CONF compatible routines can be
4927 retained (in particular wrt extensions) without having to duplicate the
4928 code. New function X509V3_add_ext_nconf_sk to add extensions to a stack.
4931 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms for inner control
4932 and with possibilities to have yes/no kind of prompts.
4935 *) Change all calls to low level digest routines in the library and
4936 applications to use EVP. Add missing calls to HMAC_cleanup() and
4937 don't assume HMAC_CTX can be copied using memcpy().
4938 [Verdon Walker <VWalker@novell.com>, Steve Henson]
4940 *) Add the possibility to control engines through control names but with
4941 arbitrary arguments instead of just a string.
4942 Change the key loaders to take a UI_METHOD instead of a callback
4943 function pointer. NOTE: this breaks binary compatibility with earlier
4944 versions of OpenSSL [engine].
4945 Adapt the nCipher code for these new conditions and add a card insertion
4949 *) Enhance the general user interface with mechanisms to better support
4950 dialog box interfaces, application-defined prompts, the possibility
4951 to use defaults (for example default passwords from somewhere else)
4952 and interrupts/cancellations.
4955 *) Tidy up PKCS#12 attribute handling. Add support for the CSP name
4956 attribute in PKCS#12 files, add new -CSP option to pkcs12 utility.
4959 *) Fix a memory leak in 'sk_dup()' in the case reallocation fails. (Also
4960 tidy up some unnecessarily weird code in 'sk_new()').
4961 [Geoff, reported by Diego Tartara <dtartara@novamens.com>]
4963 *) Change the key loading routines for ENGINEs to use the same kind
4964 callback (pem_password_cb) as all other routines that need this
4968 *) Increase ENTROPY_NEEDED to 32 bytes, as Rijndael can operate with
4969 256 bit (=32 byte) keys. Of course seeding with more entropy bytes
4970 than this minimum value is recommended.
4973 *) New random seeder for OpenVMS, using the system process statistics
4974 that are easily reachable.
4977 *) Windows apparently can't transparently handle global
4978 variables defined in DLLs. Initialisations such as:
4980 const ASN1_ITEM *it = &ASN1_INTEGER_it;
4982 wont compile. This is used by the any applications that need to
4983 declare their own ASN1 modules. This was fixed by adding the option
4984 EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN to all Win32 platforms, although this isn't strictly
4985 needed for static libraries under Win32.
4988 *) New functions X509_PURPOSE_set() and X509_TRUST_set() to handle
4989 setting of purpose and trust fields. New X509_STORE trust and
4990 purpose functions and tidy up setting in other SSL functions.
4993 *) Add copies of X509_STORE_CTX fields and callbacks to X509_STORE
4994 structure. These are inherited by X509_STORE_CTX when it is
4995 initialised. This allows various defaults to be set in the
4996 X509_STORE structure (such as flags for CRL checking and custom
4997 purpose or trust settings) for functions which only use X509_STORE_CTX
4998 internally such as S/MIME.
5000 Modify X509_STORE_CTX_purpose_inherit() so it only sets purposes and
5001 trust settings if they are not set in X509_STORE. This allows X509_STORE
5002 purposes and trust (in S/MIME for example) to override any set by default.
5004 Add command line options for CRL checking to smime, s_client and s_server
5008 *) Initial CRL based revocation checking. If the CRL checking flag(s)
5009 are set then the CRL is looked up in the X509_STORE structure and
5010 its validity and signature checked, then if the certificate is found
5011 in the CRL the verify fails with a revoked error.
5013 Various new CRL related callbacks added to X509_STORE_CTX structure.
5015 Command line options added to 'verify' application to support this.
5017 This needs some additional work, such as being able to handle multiple
5018 CRLs with different times, extension based lookup (rather than just
5019 by subject name) and ultimately more complete V2 CRL extension
5023 *) Add a general user interface API (crypto/ui/). This is designed
5024 to replace things like des_read_password and friends (backward
5025 compatibility functions using this new API are provided).
5026 The purpose is to remove prompting functions from the DES code
5027 section as well as provide for prompting through dialog boxes in
5028 a window system and the like.
5031 *) Add "ex_data" support to ENGINE so implementations can add state at a
5032 per-structure level rather than having to store it globally.
5035 *) Make it possible for ENGINE structures to be copied when retrieved by
5036 ENGINE_by_id() if the ENGINE specifies a new flag: ENGINE_FLAGS_BY_ID_COPY.
5037 This causes the "original" ENGINE structure to act like a template,
5038 analogous to the RSA vs. RSA_METHOD type of separation. Because of this
5039 operational state can be localised to each ENGINE structure, despite the
5040 fact they all share the same "methods". New ENGINE structures returned in
5041 this case have no functional references and the return value is the single
5042 structural reference. This matches the single structural reference returned
5043 by ENGINE_by_id() normally, when it is incremented on the pre-existing
5047 *) Fix ASN1 decoder when decoding type ANY and V_ASN1_OTHER: since this
5048 needs to match any other type at all we need to manually clear the
5052 *) Changes to the "openssl engine" utility to include;
5053 - verbosity levels ('-v', '-vv', and '-vvv') that provide information
5054 about an ENGINE's available control commands.
5055 - executing control commands from command line arguments using the
5056 '-pre' and '-post' switches. '-post' is only used if '-t' is
5057 specified and the ENGINE is successfully initialised. The syntax for
5058 the individual commands are colon-separated, for example;
5059 openssl engine chil -pre FORK_CHECK:0 -pre SO_PATH:/lib/test.so
5062 *) New dynamic control command support for ENGINEs. ENGINEs can now
5063 declare their own commands (numbers), names (strings), descriptions,
5064 and input types for run-time discovery by calling applications. A
5065 subset of these commands are implicitly classed as "executable"
5066 depending on their input type, and only these can be invoked through
5067 the new string-based API function ENGINE_ctrl_cmd_string(). (Eg. this
5068 can be based on user input, config files, etc). The distinction is
5069 that "executable" commands cannot return anything other than a boolean
5070 result and can only support numeric or string input, whereas some
5071 discoverable commands may only be for direct use through
5072 ENGINE_ctrl(), eg. supporting the exchange of binary data, function
5073 pointers, or other custom uses. The "executable" commands are to
5074 support parameterisations of ENGINE behaviour that can be
5075 unambiguously defined by ENGINEs and used consistently across any
5076 OpenSSL-based application. Commands have been added to all the
5077 existing hardware-supporting ENGINEs, noticeably "SO_PATH" to allow
5078 control over shared-library paths without source code alterations.
5081 *) Changed all ENGINE implementations to dynamically allocate their
5082 ENGINEs rather than declaring them statically. Apart from this being
5083 necessary with the removal of the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED distinction,
5084 this also allows the implementations to compile without using the
5085 internal engine_int.h header.
5088 *) Minor adjustment to "rand" code. RAND_get_rand_method() now returns a
5089 'const' value. Any code that should be able to modify a RAND_METHOD
5090 should already have non-const pointers to it (ie. they should only
5091 modify their own ones).
5094 *) Made a variety of little tweaks to the ENGINE code.
5095 - "atalla" and "ubsec" string definitions were moved from header files
5096 to C code. "nuron" string definitions were placed in variables
5097 rather than hard-coded - allowing parameterisation of these values
5098 later on via ctrl() commands.
5099 - Removed unused "#if 0"'d code.
5100 - Fixed engine list iteration code so it uses ENGINE_free() to release
5101 structural references.
5102 - Constified the RAND_METHOD element of ENGINE structures.
5103 - Constified various get/set functions as appropriate and added
5104 missing functions (including a catch-all ENGINE_cpy that duplicates
5105 all ENGINE values onto a new ENGINE except reference counts/state).
5106 - Removed NULL parameter checks in get/set functions. Setting a method
5107 or function to NULL is a way of cancelling out a previously set
5108 value. Passing a NULL ENGINE parameter is just plain stupid anyway
5109 and doesn't justify the extra error symbols and code.
5110 - Deprecate the ENGINE_FLAGS_MALLOCED define and move the area for
5111 flags from engine_int.h to engine.h.
5112 - Changed prototypes for ENGINE handler functions (init(), finish(),
5113 ctrl(), key-load functions, etc) to take an (ENGINE*) parameter.
5116 *) Implement binary inversion algorithm for BN_mod_inverse in addition
5117 to the algorithm using long division. The binary algorithm can be
5118 used only if the modulus is odd. On 32-bit systems, it is faster
5119 only for relatively small moduli (roughly 20-30% for 128-bit moduli,
5120 roughly 5-15% for 256-bit moduli), so we use it only for moduli
5121 up to 450 bits. In 64-bit environments, the binary algorithm
5122 appears to be advantageous for much longer moduli; here we use it
5123 for moduli up to 2048 bits.
5126 *) Rewrite CHOICE field setting in ASN1_item_ex_d2i(). The old code
5127 could not support the combine flag in choice fields.
5130 *) Add a 'copy_extensions' option to the 'ca' utility. This copies
5131 extensions from a certificate request to the certificate.
5134 *) Allow multiple 'certopt' and 'nameopt' options to be separated
5135 by commas. Add 'namopt' and 'certopt' options to the 'ca' config
5136 file: this allows the display of the certificate about to be
5137 signed to be customised, to allow certain fields to be included
5138 or excluded and extension details. The old system didn't display
5139 multicharacter strings properly, omitted fields not in the policy
5140 and couldn't display additional details such as extensions.
5143 *) Function EC_POINTs_mul for multiple scalar multiplication
5144 of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
5145 \sum scalars[i]*points[i],
5146 optionally including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP:
5147 scalar*generator + \sum scalars[i]*points[i].
5149 EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
5150 that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
5154 *) First EC_METHODs for curves over GF(p):
5156 EC_GFp_simple_method() uses the basic BN_mod_mul and BN_mod_sqr
5157 operations and provides various method functions that can also
5158 operate with faster implementations of modular arithmetic.
5160 EC_GFp_mont_method() reuses most functions that are part of
5161 EC_GFp_simple_method, but uses Montgomery arithmetic.
5163 [Bodo Moeller; point addition and point doubling
5164 implementation directly derived from source code provided by
5165 Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>]
5167 *) Framework for elliptic curves (crypto/ec/ec.h, crypto/ec/ec_lcl.h,
5168 crypto/ec/ec_lib.c):
5170 Curves are EC_GROUP objects (with an optional group generator)
5171 based on EC_METHODs that are built into the library.
5173 Points are EC_POINT objects based on EC_GROUP objects.
5175 Most of the framework would be able to handle curves over arbitrary
5176 finite fields, but as there are no obvious types for fields other
5177 than GF(p), some functions are limited to that for now.
5180 *) Add the -HTTP option to s_server. It is similar to -WWW, but requires
5181 that the file contains a complete HTTP response.
5184 *) Add the ec directory to mkdef.pl and mkfiles.pl. In mkdef.pl
5185 change the def and num file printf format specifier from "%-40sXXX"
5186 to "%-39s XXX". The latter will always guarantee a space after the
5187 field while the former will cause them to run together if the field
5188 is 40 of more characters long.
5191 *) Constify the cipher and digest 'method' functions and structures
5192 and modify related functions to take constant EVP_MD and EVP_CIPHER
5196 *) Hide BN_CTX structure details in bn_lcl.h instead of publishing them
5197 in <openssl/bn.h>. Also further increase BN_CTX_NUM to 32.
5200 *) Modify EVP_Digest*() routines so they now return values. Although the
5201 internal software routines can never fail additional hardware versions
5205 *) Clean up crypto/err/err.h and change some error codes to avoid conflicts:
5207 Previously ERR_R_FATAL was too small and coincided with ERR_LIB_PKCS7
5208 (= ERR_R_PKCS7_LIB); it is now 64 instead of 32.
5211 ERR_R_NESTED_ASN1_ERROR
5213 ERR_R_MISSING_ASN1_EOS
5214 were 4 .. 9, conflicting with
5215 ERR_LIB_RSA (= ERR_R_RSA_LIB)
5217 ERR_LIB_PEM (= ERR_R_PEM_LIB).
5218 They are now 58 .. 63 (i.e., just below ERR_R_FATAL).
5220 Add new error code 'ERR_R_INTERNAL_ERROR'.
5223 *) Don't overuse locks in crypto/err/err.c: For data retrieval, CRYPTO_r_lock
5227 *) New option '-subj arg' for 'openssl req' and 'openssl ca'. This
5228 sets the subject name for a new request or supersedes the
5229 subject name in a given request. Formats that can be parsed are
5230 'CN=Some Name, OU=myOU, C=IT'
5232 'CN=Some Name/OU=myOU/C=IT'.
5234 Add options '-batch' and '-verbose' to 'openssl req'.
5235 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@hackmasters.net>]
5237 *) Introduce the possibility to access global variables through
5238 functions on platform were that's the best way to handle exporting
5239 global variables in shared libraries. To enable this functionality,
5240 one must configure with "EXPORT_VAR_AS_FN" or defined the C macro
5241 "OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION" in crypto/opensslconf.h (the latter
5242 is normally done by Configure or something similar).
5244 To implement a global variable, use the macro OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL
5245 in the source file (foo.c) like this:
5247 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(int,foo)=1;
5248 OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5250 To declare a global variable, use the macros OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL
5251 and OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF in the header file (foo.h) like this:
5253 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(int,foo);
5254 #define foo OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(foo)
5255 OPENSSL_DECLARE_GLOBAL(double,bar);
5256 #define bar OPENSSL_GLOBAL_REF(bar)
5258 The #defines are very important, and therefore so is including the
5259 header file everywhere where the defined globals are used.
5261 The macro OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION also affects the definition
5262 of ASN.1 items, but that structure is a bit different.
5264 The largest change is in util/mkdef.pl which has been enhanced with
5265 better and easier to understand logic to choose which symbols should
5266 go into the Windows .def files as well as a number of fixes and code
5267 cleanup (among others, algorithm keywords are now sorted
5268 lexicographically to avoid constant rewrites).
5271 *) In BN_div() keep a copy of the sign of 'num' before writing the
5272 result to 'rm' because if rm==num the value will be overwritten
5273 and produce the wrong result if 'num' is negative: this caused
5274 problems with BN_mod() and BN_nnmod().
5277 *) Function OCSP_request_verify(). This checks the signature on an
5278 OCSP request and verifies the signer certificate. The signer
5279 certificate is just checked for a generic purpose and OCSP request
5283 *) Add OCSP_check_validity() function to check the validity of OCSP
5284 responses. OCSP responses are prepared in real time and may only
5285 be a few seconds old. Simply checking that the current time lies
5286 between thisUpdate and nextUpdate max reject otherwise valid responses
5287 caused by either OCSP responder or client clock inaccuracy. Instead
5288 we allow thisUpdate and nextUpdate to fall within a certain period of
5289 the current time. The age of the response can also optionally be
5290 checked. Two new options -validity_period and -status_age added to
5294 *) If signature or public key algorithm is unrecognized print out its
5295 OID rather that just UNKNOWN.
5298 *) Change OCSP_cert_to_id() to tolerate a NULL subject certificate and
5299 OCSP_cert_id_new() a NULL serialNumber. This allows a partial certificate
5300 ID to be generated from the issuer certificate alone which can then be
5301 passed to OCSP_id_issuer_cmp().
5304 *) New compilation option ASN1_ITEM_FUNCTIONS. This causes the new
5305 ASN1 modules to export functions returning ASN1_ITEM pointers
5306 instead of the ASN1_ITEM structures themselves. This adds several
5307 new macros which allow the underlying ASN1 function/structure to
5308 be accessed transparently. As a result code should not use ASN1_ITEM
5309 references directly (such as &X509_it) but instead use the relevant
5310 macros (such as ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509)). This option is to allow
5311 use of the new ASN1 code on platforms where exporting structures
5312 is problematical (for example in shared libraries) but exporting
5313 functions returning pointers to structures is not.
5316 *) Add support for overriding the generation of SSL/TLS session IDs.
5317 These callbacks can be registered either in an SSL_CTX or per SSL.
5318 The purpose of this is to allow applications to control, if they wish,
5319 the arbitrary values chosen for use as session IDs, particularly as it
5320 can be useful for session caching in multiple-server environments. A
5321 command-line switch for testing this (and any client code that wishes
5322 to use such a feature) has been added to "s_server".
5323 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
5325 *) Modify mkdef.pl to recognise and parse preprocessor conditionals
5326 of the form '#if defined(...) || defined(...) || ...' and
5327 '#if !defined(...) && !defined(...) && ...'. This also avoids
5328 the growing number of special cases it was previously handling.
5331 *) Make all configuration macros available for application by making
5332 sure they are available in opensslconf.h, by giving them names starting
5333 with "OPENSSL_" to avoid conflicts with other packages and by making
5334 sure e_os2.h will cover all platform-specific cases together with
5336 Additionally, it is now possible to define configuration/platform-
5337 specific names (called "system identities"). In the C code, these
5338 are prefixed with "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_". e_os2.h will create another
5339 macro with the name beginning with "OPENSSL_SYS_", which is determined
5340 from "OPENSSL_SYSNAME_*" or compiler-specific macros depending on
5344 *) New option -set_serial to 'req' and 'x509' this allows the serial
5345 number to use to be specified on the command line. Previously self
5346 signed certificates were hard coded with serial number 0 and the
5347 CA options of 'x509' had to use a serial number in a file which was
5351 *) New options to 'ca' utility to support V2 CRL entry extensions.
5352 Currently CRL reason, invalidity date and hold instruction are
5353 supported. Add new CRL extensions to V3 code and some new objects.
5356 *) New function EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() this is used to
5357 disable standard block padding (aka PKCS#5 padding) in the EVP
5358 API, which was previously mandatory. This means that the data is
5359 not padded in any way and so the total length much be a multiple
5360 of the block size, otherwise an error occurs.
5363 *) Initial (incomplete) OCSP SSL support.
5366 *) New function OCSP_parse_url(). This splits up a URL into its host,
5367 port and path components: primarily to parse OCSP URLs. New -url
5368 option to ocsp utility.
5371 *) New nonce behavior. The return value of OCSP_check_nonce() now
5372 reflects the various checks performed. Applications can decide
5373 whether to tolerate certain situations such as an absent nonce
5374 in a response when one was present in a request: the ocsp application
5375 just prints out a warning. New function OCSP_add1_basic_nonce()
5376 this is to allow responders to include a nonce in a response even if
5377 the request is nonce-less.
5380 *) Disable stdin buffering in load_cert (apps/apps.c) so that no certs are
5381 skipped when using openssl x509 multiple times on a single input file,
5382 e.g. "(openssl x509 -out cert1; openssl x509 -out cert2) <certs".
5385 *) Make ASN1_UTCTIME_set_string() and ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME_set_string()
5386 set string type: to handle setting ASN1_TIME structures. Fix ca
5387 utility to correctly initialize revocation date of CRLs.
5390 *) New option SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE allows the server to override
5391 the clients preferred ciphersuites and rather use its own preferences.
5392 Should help to work around M$ SGC (Server Gated Cryptography) bug in
5393 Internet Explorer by ensuring unchanged hash method during stepup.
5394 (Also replaces the broken/deactivated SSL_OP_NON_EXPORT_FIRST option.)
5397 *) Make mkdef.pl recognise all DECLARE_ASN1 macros, change rijndael
5398 to aes and add a new 'exist' option to print out symbols that don't
5402 *) Additional options to ocsp utility to allow flags to be set and
5403 additional certificates supplied.
5406 *) Add the option -VAfile to 'openssl ocsp', so the user can give the
5407 OCSP client a number of certificate to only verify the response
5411 *) Update Rijndael code to version 3.0 and change EVP AES ciphers to
5412 handle the new API. Currently only ECB, CBC modes supported. Add new
5415 Add TLS AES ciphersuites as described in RFC3268, "Advanced
5416 Encryption Standard (AES) Ciphersuites for Transport Layer
5417 Security (TLS)". (In beta versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7, these were
5418 not enabled by default and were not part of the "ALL" ciphersuite
5419 alias because they were not yet official; they could be
5420 explicitly requested by specifying the "AESdraft" ciphersuite
5421 group alias. In the final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7, the group
5422 alias is called "AES" and is part of "ALL".)
5423 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Bodo Moeller]
5425 *) New function OCSP_copy_nonce() to copy nonce value (if present) from
5426 request to response.
5429 *) Functions for OCSP responders. OCSP_request_onereq_count(),
5430 OCSP_request_onereq_get0(), OCSP_onereq_get0_id() and OCSP_id_get0_info()
5431 extract information from a certificate request. OCSP_response_create()
5432 creates a response and optionally adds a basic response structure.
5433 OCSP_basic_add1_status() adds a complete single response to a basic
5434 response and returns the OCSP_SINGLERESP structure just added (to allow
5435 extensions to be included for example). OCSP_basic_add1_cert() adds a
5436 certificate to a basic response and OCSP_basic_sign() signs a basic
5437 response with various flags. New helper functions ASN1_TIME_check()
5438 (checks validity of ASN1_TIME structure) and ASN1_TIME_to_generalizedtime()
5439 (converts ASN1_TIME to GeneralizedTime).
5442 *) Various new functions. EVP_Digest() combines EVP_Digest{Init,Update,Final}()
5443 in a single operation. X509_get0_pubkey_bitstr() extracts the public_key
5444 structure from a certificate. X509_pubkey_digest() digests the public_key
5445 contents: this is used in various key identifiers.
5448 *) Make sk_sort() tolerate a NULL argument.
5449 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5451 *) New OCSP verify flag OCSP_TRUSTOTHER. When set the "other" certificates
5452 passed by the function are trusted implicitly. If any of them signed the
5453 response then it is assumed to be valid and is not verified.
5456 *) In PKCS7_set_type() initialise content_type in PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT
5457 to data. This was previously part of the PKCS7 ASN1 code. This
5458 was causing problems with OpenSSL created PKCS#12 and PKCS#7 structures.
5459 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5460 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5462 *) Add CRYPTO_push_info() and CRYPTO_pop_info() calls to new ASN1
5463 routines: without these tracing memory leaks is very painful.
5464 Fix leaks in PKCS12 and PKCS7 routines.
5467 *) Make X509_time_adj() cope with the new behaviour of ASN1_TIME_new().
5468 Previously it initialised the 'type' argument to V_ASN1_UTCTIME which
5469 effectively meant GeneralizedTime would never be used. Now it
5470 is initialised to -1 but X509_time_adj() now has to check the value
5471 and use ASN1_TIME_set() if the value is not V_ASN1_UTCTIME or
5472 V_ASN1_GENERALIZEDTIME, without this it always uses GeneralizedTime.
5473 [Steve Henson, reported by Kenneth R. Robinette
5474 <support@securenetterm.com>]
5476 *) Fixes to BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER when bn is zero. This would previously
5477 result in a zero length in the ASN1_INTEGER structure which was
5478 not consistent with the structure when d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() was used
5479 and would cause ASN1_INTEGER_cmp() to fail. Enhance s2i_ASN1_INTEGER()
5480 to cope with hex and negative integers. Fix bug in i2a_ASN1_INTEGER()
5481 where it did not print out a minus for negative ASN1_INTEGER.
5484 *) Add summary printout to ocsp utility. The various functions which
5485 convert status values to strings have been renamed to:
5486 OCSP_response_status_str(), OCSP_cert_status_str() and
5487 OCSP_crl_reason_str() and are no longer static. New options
5488 to verify nonce values and to disable verification. OCSP response
5489 printout format cleaned up.
5492 *) Add additional OCSP certificate checks. These are those specified
5493 in RFC2560. This consists of two separate checks: the CA of the
5494 certificate being checked must either be the OCSP signer certificate
5495 or the issuer of the OCSP signer certificate. In the latter case the
5496 OCSP signer certificate must contain the OCSP signing extended key
5497 usage. This check is performed by attempting to match the OCSP
5498 signer or the OCSP signer CA to the issuerNameHash and issuerKeyHash
5499 in the OCSP_CERTID structures of the response.
5502 *) Initial OCSP certificate verification added to OCSP_basic_verify()
5503 and related routines. This uses the standard OpenSSL certificate
5504 verify routines to perform initial checks (just CA validity) and
5505 to obtain the certificate chain. Then additional checks will be
5506 performed on the chain. Currently the root CA is checked to see
5507 if it is explicitly trusted for OCSP signing. This is used to set
5508 a root CA as a global signing root: that is any certificate that
5509 chains to that CA is an acceptable OCSP signing certificate.
5512 *) New '-extfile ...' option to 'openssl ca' for reading X.509v3
5513 extensions from a separate configuration file.
5514 As when reading extensions from the main configuration file,
5515 the '-extensions ...' option may be used for specifying the
5517 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5519 *) New OCSP utility. Allows OCSP requests to be generated or
5520 read. The request can be sent to a responder and the output
5521 parsed, outputed or printed in text form. Not complete yet:
5522 still needs to check the OCSP response validity.
5525 *) New subcommands for 'openssl ca':
5526 'openssl ca -status <serial>' prints the status of the cert with
5527 the given serial number (according to the index file).
5528 'openssl ca -updatedb' updates the expiry status of certificates
5530 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it>]
5532 *) New '-newreq-nodes' command option to CA.pl. This is like
5533 '-newreq', but calls 'openssl req' with the '-nodes' option
5534 so that the resulting key is not encrypted.
5535 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5537 *) New configuration for the GNU Hurd.
5538 [Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb@wolfram.com> via Richard Levitte]
5540 *) Initial code to implement OCSP basic response verify. This
5541 is currently incomplete. Currently just finds the signer's
5542 certificate and verifies the signature on the response.
5545 *) New SSLeay_version code SSLEAY_DIR to determine the compiled-in
5546 value of OPENSSLDIR. This is available via the new '-d' option
5547 to 'openssl version', and is also included in 'openssl version -a'.
5550 *) Allowing defining memory allocation callbacks that will be given
5551 file name and line number information in additional arguments
5552 (a const char* and an int). The basic functionality remains, as
5553 well as the original possibility to just replace malloc(),
5554 realloc() and free() by functions that do not know about these
5555 additional arguments. To register and find out the current
5556 settings for extended allocation functions, the following
5557 functions are provided:
5559 CRYPTO_set_mem_ex_functions
5560 CRYPTO_set_locked_mem_ex_functions
5561 CRYPTO_get_mem_ex_functions
5562 CRYPTO_get_locked_mem_ex_functions
5564 These work the same way as CRYPTO_set_mem_functions and friends.
5565 CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_functions now writes 0 where such an
5566 extended allocation function is enabled.
5567 Similarly, CRYPTO_get_[locked_]mem_ex_functions writes 0 where
5568 a conventional allocation function is enabled.
5569 [Richard Levitte, Bodo Moeller]
5571 *) Finish off removing the remaining LHASH function pointer casts.
5572 There should no longer be any prototype-casting required when using
5573 the LHASH abstraction, and any casts that remain are "bugs". See
5574 the callback types and macros at the head of lhash.h for details
5575 (and "OBJ_cleanup" in crypto/objects/obj_dat.c as an example).
5578 *) Add automatic query of EGD sockets in RAND_poll() for the unix variant.
5579 If /dev/[u]random devices are not available or do not return enough
5580 entropy, EGD style sockets (served by EGD or PRNGD) will automatically
5582 The locations /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool, /etc/egd-pool, and
5583 /etc/entropy will be queried once each in this sequence, quering stops
5584 when enough entropy was collected without querying more sockets.
5587 *) Change the Unix RAND_poll() variant to be able to poll several
5588 random devices, as specified by DEVRANDOM, until a sufficient amount
5589 of data has been collected. We spend at most 10 ms on each file
5590 (select timeout) and read in non-blocking mode. DEVRANDOM now
5591 defaults to the list "/dev/urandom", "/dev/random", "/dev/srandom"
5592 (previously it was just the string "/dev/urandom"), so on typical
5593 platforms the 10 ms delay will never occur.
5594 Also separate out the Unix variant to its own file, rand_unix.c.
5595 For VMS, there's a currently-empty rand_vms.c.
5598 *) Move OCSP client related routines to ocsp_cl.c. These
5599 provide utility functions which an application needing
5600 to issue a request to an OCSP responder and analyse the
5601 response will typically need: as opposed to those which an
5602 OCSP responder itself would need which will be added later.
5604 OCSP_request_sign() signs an OCSP request with an API similar
5605 to PKCS7_sign(). OCSP_response_status() returns status of OCSP
5606 response. OCSP_response_get1_basic() extracts basic response
5607 from response. OCSP_resp_find_status(): finds and extracts status
5608 information from an OCSP_CERTID structure (which will be created
5609 when the request structure is built). These are built from lower
5610 level functions which work on OCSP_SINGLERESP structures but
5611 wont normally be used unless the application wishes to examine
5612 extensions in the OCSP response for example.
5614 Replace nonce routines with a pair of functions.
5615 OCSP_request_add1_nonce() adds a nonce value and optionally
5616 generates a random value. OCSP_check_nonce() checks the
5617 validity of the nonce in an OCSP response.
5620 *) Change function OCSP_request_add() to OCSP_request_add0_id().
5621 This doesn't copy the supplied OCSP_CERTID and avoids the
5622 need to free up the newly created id. Change return type
5623 to OCSP_ONEREQ to return the internal OCSP_ONEREQ structure.
5624 This can then be used to add extensions to the request.
5625 Deleted OCSP_request_new(), since most of its functionality
5626 is now in OCSP_REQUEST_new() (and the case insensitive name
5627 clash) apart from the ability to set the request name which
5628 will be added elsewhere.
5631 *) Update OCSP API. Remove obsolete extensions argument from
5632 various functions. Extensions are now handled using the new
5633 OCSP extension code. New simple OCSP HTTP function which
5634 can be used to send requests and parse the response.
5637 *) Fix the PKCS#7 (S/MIME) code to work with new ASN1. Two new
5638 ASN1_ITEM structures help with sign and verify. PKCS7_ATTR_SIGN
5639 uses the special reorder version of SET OF to sort the attributes
5640 and reorder them to match the encoded order. This resolves a long
5641 standing problem: a verify on a PKCS7 structure just after signing
5642 it used to fail because the attribute order did not match the
5643 encoded order. PKCS7_ATTR_VERIFY does not reorder the attributes:
5644 it uses the received order. This is necessary to tolerate some broken
5645 software that does not order SET OF. This is handled by encoding
5646 as a SEQUENCE OF but using implicit tagging (with UNIVERSAL class)
5647 to produce the required SET OF.
5650 *) Have mk1mf.pl generate the macros OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBCRYPTO and
5651 OPENSSL_BUILD_SHLIBSSL and use them appropriately in the header
5652 files to get correct declarations of the ASN.1 item variables.
5655 *) Rewrite of PKCS#12 code to use new ASN1 functionality. Replace many
5656 PKCS#12 macros with real functions. Fix two unrelated ASN1 bugs:
5657 asn1_check_tlen() would sometimes attempt to use 'ctx' when it was
5658 NULL and ASN1_TYPE was not dereferenced properly in asn1_ex_c2i().
5659 New ASN1 macro: DECLARE_ASN1_ITEM() which just declares the relevant
5660 ASN1_ITEM and no wrapper functions.
5663 *) New functions or ASN1_item_d2i_fp() and ASN1_item_d2i_bio(). These
5664 replace the old function pointer based I/O routines. Change most of
5665 the *_d2i_bio() and *_d2i_fp() functions to use these.
5668 *) Enhance mkdef.pl to be more accepting about spacing in C preprocessor
5669 lines, recognice more "algorithms" that can be deselected, and make
5670 it complain about algorithm deselection that isn't recognised.
5673 *) New ASN1 functions to handle dup, sign, verify, digest, pack and
5674 unpack operations in terms of ASN1_ITEM. Modify existing wrappers
5675 to use new functions. Add NO_ASN1_OLD which can be set to remove
5676 some old style ASN1 functions: this can be used to determine if old
5677 code will still work when these eventually go away.
5680 *) New extension functions for OCSP structures, these follow the
5681 same conventions as certificates and CRLs.
5684 *) New function X509V3_add1_i2d(). This automatically encodes and
5685 adds an extension. Its behaviour can be customised with various
5686 flags to append, replace or delete. Various wrappers added for
5687 certifcates and CRLs.
5690 *) Fix to avoid calling the underlying ASN1 print routine when
5691 an extension cannot be parsed. Correct a typo in the
5692 OCSP_SERVICELOC extension. Tidy up print OCSP format.
5695 *) Make mkdef.pl parse some of the ASN1 macros and add apropriate
5696 entries for variables.
5699 *) Add functionality to apps/openssl.c for detecting locking
5700 problems: As the program is single-threaded, all we have
5701 to do is register a locking callback using an array for
5702 storing which locks are currently held by the program.
5705 *) Use a lock around the call to CRYPTO_get_ex_new_index() in
5706 SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_idx(), which is used in
5707 ssl_verify_cert_chain() and thus can be called at any time
5708 during TLS/SSL handshakes so that thread-safety is essential.
5709 Unfortunately, the ex_data design is not at all suited
5710 for multi-threaded use, so it probably should be abolished.
5713 *) Added Broadcom "ubsec" ENGINE to OpenSSL.
5714 [Broadcom, tweaked and integrated by Geoff Thorpe]
5716 *) Move common extension printing code to new function
5717 X509V3_print_extensions(). Reorganise OCSP print routines and
5718 implement some needed OCSP ASN1 functions. Add OCSP extensions.
5721 *) New function X509_signature_print() to remove duplication in some
5725 *) Add a special meaning when SET OF and SEQUENCE OF flags are both
5726 set (this was treated exactly the same as SET OF previously). This
5727 is used to reorder the STACK representing the structure to match the
5728 encoding. This will be used to get round a problem where a PKCS7
5729 structure which was signed could not be verified because the STACK
5730 order did not reflect the encoded order.
5733 *) Reimplement the OCSP ASN1 module using the new code.
5736 *) Update the X509V3 code to permit the use of an ASN1_ITEM structure
5737 for its ASN1 operations. The old style function pointers still exist
5738 for now but they will eventually go away.
5741 *) Merge in replacement ASN1 code from the ASN1 branch. This almost
5742 completely replaces the old ASN1 functionality with a table driven
5743 encoder and decoder which interprets an ASN1_ITEM structure describing
5744 the ASN1 module. Compatibility with the existing ASN1 API (i2d,d2i) is
5745 largely maintained. Almost all of the old asn1_mac.h macro based ASN1
5746 has also been converted to the new form.
5749 *) Change BN_mod_exp_recp so that negative moduli are tolerated
5750 (the sign is ignored). Similarly, ignore the sign in BN_MONT_CTX_set
5751 so that BN_mod_exp_mont and BN_mod_exp_mont_word work
5752 for negative moduli.
5755 *) Fix BN_uadd and BN_usub: Always return non-negative results instead
5756 of not touching the result's sign bit.
5759 *) BN_div bugfix: If the result is 0, the sign (res->neg) must not be
5763 *) Changed the LHASH code to use prototypes for callbacks, and created
5764 macros to declare and implement thin (optionally static) functions
5765 that provide type-safety and avoid function pointer casting for the
5766 type-specific callbacks.
5769 *) Added Kerberos Cipher Suites to be used with TLS, as written in
5771 [Veers Staats <staatsvr@asc.hpc.mil>,
5772 Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>, via Richard Levitte]
5774 *) Reformat the FAQ so the different questions and answers can be divided
5775 in sections depending on the subject.
5778 *) Have the zlib compression code load ZLIB.DLL dynamically under
5782 *) New function BN_mod_sqrt for computing square roots modulo a prime
5783 (using the probabilistic Tonelli-Shanks algorithm unless
5784 p == 3 (mod 4) or p == 5 (mod 8), which are cases that can
5785 be handled deterministically).
5786 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5788 *) Make BN_mod_inverse faster by explicitly handling small quotients
5789 in the Euclid loop. (Speed gain about 20% for small moduli [256 or
5790 512 bits], about 30% for larger ones [1024 or 2048 bits].)
5793 *) New function BN_kronecker.
5796 *) Fix BN_gcd so that it works on negative inputs; the result is
5797 positive unless both parameters are zero.
5798 Previously something reasonably close to an infinite loop was
5799 possible because numbers could be growing instead of shrinking
5800 in the implementation of Euclid's algorithm.
5803 *) Fix BN_is_word() and BN_is_one() macros to take into account the
5804 sign of the number in question.
5806 Fix BN_is_word(a,w) to work correctly for w == 0.
5808 The old BN_is_word(a,w) macro is now called BN_abs_is_word(a,w)
5809 because its test if the absolute value of 'a' equals 'w'.
5810 Note that BN_abs_is_word does *not* handle w == 0 reliably;
5811 it exists mostly for use in the implementations of BN_is_zero(),
5812 BN_is_one(), and BN_is_word().
5815 *) New function BN_swap.
5818 *) Use BN_nnmod instead of BN_mod in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c so that
5819 the exponentiation functions are more likely to produce reasonable
5820 results on negative inputs.
5823 *) Change BN_mod_mul so that the result is always non-negative.
5824 Previously, it could be negative if one of the factors was negative;
5825 I don't think anyone really wanted that behaviour.
5828 *) Move BN_mod_... functions into new file crypto/bn/bn_mod.c
5829 (except for exponentiation, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_exp.c,
5830 and BN_mod_mul_reciprocal, which stays in crypto/bn/bn_recp.c)
5831 and add new functions:
5840 BN_mod_lshift1_quick
5844 These functions always generate non-negative results.
5846 BN_nnmod otherwise is like BN_mod (if BN_mod computes a remainder r
5847 such that |m| < r < 0, BN_nnmod will output rem + |m| instead).
5849 BN_mod_XXX_quick(r, a, [b,] m) generates the same result as
5850 BN_mod_XXX(r, a, [b,] m, ctx), but requires that a [and b]
5851 be reduced modulo m.
5852 [Lenka Fibikova <fibikova@exp-math.uni-essen.de>, Bodo Moeller]
5855 The following entry accidentily appeared in the CHANGES file
5856 distributed with OpenSSL 0.9.7. The modifications described in
5857 it do *not* apply to OpenSSL 0.9.7.
5859 *) Remove a few calls to bn_wexpand() in BN_sqr() (the one in there
5860 was actually never needed) and in BN_mul(). The removal in BN_mul()
5861 required a small change in bn_mul_part_recursive() and the addition
5862 of the functions bn_cmp_part_words(), bn_sub_part_words() and
5863 bn_add_part_words(), which do the same thing as bn_cmp_words(),
5864 bn_sub_words() and bn_add_words() except they take arrays with
5869 *) In 'openssl passwd', verify passwords read from the terminal
5870 unless the '-salt' option is used (which usually means that
5871 verification would just waste user's time since the resulting
5872 hash is going to be compared with some given password hash)
5873 or the new '-noverify' option is used.
5875 This is an incompatible change, but it does not affect
5876 non-interactive use of 'openssl passwd' (passwords on the command
5877 line, '-stdin' option, '-in ...' option) and thus should not
5881 *) Remove all references to RSAref, since there's no more need for it.
5884 *) Make DSO load along a path given through an environment variable
5885 (SHLIB_PATH) with shl_load().
5888 *) Constify the ENGINE code as a result of BIGNUM constification.
5889 Also constify the RSA code and most things related to it. In a
5890 few places, most notable in the depth of the ASN.1 code, ugly
5891 casts back to non-const were required (to be solved at a later
5895 *) Make it so the openssl application has all engines loaded by default.
5898 *) Constify the BIGNUM routines a little more.
5901 *) Add the following functions:
5903 ENGINE_load_cswift()
5905 ENGINE_load_atalla()
5907 ENGINE_load_builtin_engines()
5909 That way, an application can itself choose if external engines that
5910 are built-in in OpenSSL shall ever be used or not. The benefit is
5911 that applications won't have to be linked with libdl or other dso
5912 libraries unless it's really needed.
5914 Changed 'openssl engine' to load all engines on demand.
5915 Changed the engine header files to avoid the duplication of some
5916 declarations (they differed!).
5919 *) 'openssl engine' can now list capabilities.
5922 *) Better error reporting in 'openssl engine'.
5925 *) Never call load_dh_param(NULL) in s_server.
5928 *) Add engine application. It can currently list engines by name and
5929 identity, and test if they are actually available.
5932 *) Improve RPM specification file by forcing symbolic linking and making
5933 sure the installed documentation is also owned by root.root.
5934 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>]
5936 *) Give the OpenSSL applications more possibilities to make use of
5937 keys (public as well as private) handled by engines.
5940 *) Add OCSP code that comes from CertCo.
5943 *) Add VMS support for the Rijndael code.
5946 *) Added untested support for Nuron crypto accelerator.
5949 *) Add support for external cryptographic devices. This code was
5950 previously distributed separately as the "engine" branch.
5951 [Geoff Thorpe, Richard Levitte]
5953 *) Rework the filename-translation in the DSO code. It is now possible to
5954 have far greater control over how a "name" is turned into a filename
5955 depending on the operating environment and any oddities about the
5956 different shared library filenames on each system.
5959 *) Support threads on FreeBSD-elf in Configure.
5962 *) Fix for SHA1 assembly problem with MASM: it produces
5963 warnings about corrupt line number information when assembling
5964 with debugging information. This is caused by the overlapping
5966 [Bernd Matthes <mainbug@celocom.de>, Steve Henson]
5969 NCONF_get_number() has no error checking at all. As a replacement,
5970 NCONF_get_number_e() is defined (_e for "error checking") and is
5971 promoted strongly. The old NCONF_get_number is kept around for
5972 binary backward compatibility.
5973 Make it possible for methods to load from something other than a BIO,
5974 by providing a function pointer that is given a name instead of a BIO.
5975 For example, this could be used to load configuration data from an
5979 *) Fix for non blocking accept BIOs. Added new I/O special reason
5980 BIO_RR_ACCEPT to cover this case. Previously use of accept BIOs
5981 with non blocking I/O was not possible because no retry code was
5982 implemented. Also added new SSL code SSL_WANT_ACCEPT to cover
5986 *) Added the beginnings of Rijndael support.
5989 *) Fix for bug in DirectoryString mask setting. Add support for
5990 X509_NAME_print_ex() in 'req' and X509_print_ex() function
5991 to allow certificate printing to more controllable, additional
5992 'certopt' option to 'x509' to allow new printing options to be
5996 *) Clean old EAY MD5 hack from e_os.h.
5999 Changes between 0.9.6l and 0.9.6m [17 Mar 2004]
6001 *) Fix null-pointer assignment in do_change_cipher_spec() revealed
6002 by using the Codenomicon TLS Test Tool (CVE-2004-0079)
6003 [Joe Orton, Steve Henson]
6005 Changes between 0.9.6k and 0.9.6l [04 Nov 2003]
6007 *) Fix additional bug revealed by the NISCC test suite:
6009 Stop bug triggering large recursion when presented with
6010 certain ASN.1 tags (CVE-2003-0851)
6013 Changes between 0.9.6j and 0.9.6k [30 Sep 2003]
6015 *) Fix various bugs revealed by running the NISCC test suite:
6017 Stop out of bounds reads in the ASN1 code when presented with
6018 invalid tags (CVE-2003-0543 and CVE-2003-0544).
6020 If verify callback ignores invalid public key errors don't try to check
6021 certificate signature with the NULL public key.
6025 *) In ssl3_accept() (ssl/s3_srvr.c) only accept a client certificate
6026 if the server requested one: as stated in TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0
6030 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello() (ssl/s3_srvr.c), tolerate additional
6031 extra data after the compression methods not only for TLS 1.0
6032 but also for SSL 3.0 (as required by the specification).
6033 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Matthias Loepfe]
6035 *) Change X509_certificate_type() to mark the key as exported/exportable
6036 when it's 512 *bits* long, not 512 bytes.
6039 Changes between 0.9.6i and 0.9.6j [10 Apr 2003]
6041 *) Countermeasure against the Klima-Pokorny-Rosa extension of
6042 Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5 padding: treat
6043 a protocol version number mismatch like a decryption error
6044 in ssl3_get_client_key_exchange (ssl/s3_srvr.c).
6047 *) Turn on RSA blinding by default in the default implementation
6048 to avoid a timing attack. Applications that don't want it can call
6049 RSA_blinding_off() or use the new flag RSA_FLAG_NO_BLINDING.
6050 They would be ill-advised to do so in most cases.
6051 [Ben Laurie, Steve Henson, Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6053 *) Change RSA blinding code so that it works when the PRNG is not
6054 seeded (in this case, the secret RSA exponent is abused as
6055 an unpredictable seed -- if it is not unpredictable, there
6056 is no point in blinding anyway). Make RSA blinding thread-safe
6057 by remembering the creator's thread ID in rsa->blinding and
6058 having all other threads use local one-time blinding factors
6059 (this requires more computation than sharing rsa->blinding, but
6060 avoids excessive locking; and if an RSA object is not shared
6061 between threads, blinding will still be very fast).
6064 Changes between 0.9.6h and 0.9.6i [19 Feb 2003]
6066 *) In ssl3_get_record (ssl/s3_pkt.c), minimize information leaked
6067 via timing by performing a MAC computation even if incorrrect
6068 block cipher padding has been found. This is a countermeasure
6069 against active attacks where the attacker has to distinguish
6070 between bad padding and a MAC verification error. (CVE-2003-0078)
6072 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Brice Canvel (EPFL),
6073 Alain Hiltgen (UBS), Serge Vaudenay (EPFL), and
6074 Martin Vuagnoux (EPFL, Ilion)]
6076 Changes between 0.9.6g and 0.9.6h [5 Dec 2002]
6078 *) New function OPENSSL_cleanse(), which is used to cleanse a section of
6079 memory from it's contents. This is done with a counter that will
6080 place alternating values in each byte. This can be used to solve
6081 two issues: 1) the removal of calls to memset() by highly optimizing
6082 compilers, and 2) cleansing with other values than 0, since those can
6083 be read through on certain media, for example a swap space on disk.
6086 *) Bugfix: client side session caching did not work with external caching,
6087 because the session->cipher setting was not restored when reloading
6088 from the external cache. This problem was masked, when
6089 SSL_OP_NETSCAPE_REUSE_CIPHER_CHANGE_BUG (part of SSL_OP_ALL) was set.
6090 (Found by Steve Haslam <steve@araqnid.ddts.net>.)
6093 *) Fix client_certificate (ssl/s2_clnt.c): The permissible total
6094 length of the REQUEST-CERTIFICATE message is 18 .. 34, not 17 .. 33.
6095 [Zeev Lieber <zeev-l@yahoo.com>]
6097 *) Undo an undocumented change introduced in 0.9.6e which caused
6098 repeated calls to OpenSSL_add_all_ciphers() and
6099 OpenSSL_add_all_digests() to be ignored, even after calling
6103 *) Change the default configuration reader to deal with last line not
6104 being properly terminated.
6107 *) Change X509_NAME_cmp() so it applies the special rules on handling
6108 DN values that are of type PrintableString, as well as RDNs of type
6109 emailAddress where the value has the type ia5String.
6110 [stefank@valicert.com via Richard Levitte]
6112 *) Add a SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_STORE flag to take over half
6113 the job SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP was inconsistently
6114 doing, define a new flag (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL) to be
6115 the bitwise-OR of the two for use by the majority of applications
6116 wanting this behaviour, and update the docs. The documented
6117 behaviour and actual behaviour were inconsistent and had been
6118 changing anyway, so this is more a bug-fix than a behavioural
6120 [Geoff Thorpe, diagnosed by Nadav Har'El]
6122 *) Don't impose a 16-byte length minimum on session IDs in ssl/s3_clnt.c
6123 (the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 specifications allow any length up to 32 bytes).
6126 *) Fix initialization code race conditions in
6127 SSLv23_method(), SSLv23_client_method(), SSLv23_server_method(),
6128 SSLv2_method(), SSLv2_client_method(), SSLv2_server_method(),
6129 SSLv3_method(), SSLv3_client_method(), SSLv3_server_method(),
6130 TLSv1_method(), TLSv1_client_method(), TLSv1_server_method(),
6131 ssl2_get_cipher_by_char(),
6132 ssl3_get_cipher_by_char().
6133 [Patrick McCormick <patrick@tellme.com>, Bodo Moeller]
6135 *) Reorder cleanup sequence in SSL_CTX_free(): only remove the ex_data after
6136 the cached sessions are flushed, as the remove_cb() might use ex_data
6137 contents. Bug found by Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
6138 (see [openssl.org #212]).
6139 [Geoff Thorpe, Lutz Jaenicke]
6141 *) Fix typo in OBJ_txt2obj which incorrectly passed the content
6142 length, instead of the encoding length to d2i_ASN1_OBJECT.
6145 Changes between 0.9.6f and 0.9.6g [9 Aug 2002]
6147 *) [In 0.9.6g-engine release:]
6148 Fix crypto/engine/vendor_defns/cswift.h for WIN32 (use '_stdcall').
6149 [Lynn Gazis <lgazis@rainbow.com>]
6151 Changes between 0.9.6e and 0.9.6f [8 Aug 2002]
6153 *) Fix ASN1 checks. Check for overflow by comparing with LONG_MAX
6154 and get fix the header length calculation.
6155 [Florian Weimer <Weimer@CERT.Uni-Stuttgart.DE>,
6156 Alon Kantor <alonk@checkpoint.com> (and others),
6159 *) Use proper error handling instead of 'assertions' in buffer
6160 overflow checks added in 0.9.6e. This prevents DoS (the
6161 assertions could call abort()).
6162 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, Bodo Moeller]
6164 Changes between 0.9.6d and 0.9.6e [30 Jul 2002]
6166 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6167 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6168 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6170 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6172 *) Fix cipher selection routines: ciphers without encryption had no flags
6173 for the cipher strength set and where therefore not handled correctly
6174 by the selection routines (PR #130).
6177 *) Fix EVP_dsa_sha macro.
6181 SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS
6182 for disabling the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 CBC vulnerability countermeasure
6183 that was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6d.
6185 As the countermeasure turned out to be incompatible with some
6186 broken SSL implementations, the new option is part of SSL_OP_ALL.
6187 SSL_OP_ALL is usually employed when compatibility with weird SSL
6188 implementations is desired (e.g. '-bugs' option to 's_client' and
6189 's_server'), so the new option is automatically set in many
6193 *) Changes in security patch:
6195 Changes marked "(CHATS)" were sponsored by the Defense Advanced
6196 Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory,
6197 Air Force Materiel Command, USAF, under agreement number
6200 *) Add various sanity checks to asn1_get_length() to reject
6201 the ASN1 length bytes if they exceed sizeof(long), will appear
6202 negative or the content length exceeds the length of the
6203 supplied buffer. (CVE-2002-0659)
6204 [Steve Henson, Adi Stav <stav@mercury.co.il>, James Yonan <jim@ntlp.com>]
6206 *) Assertions for various potential buffer overflows, not known to
6208 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6210 *) Various temporary buffers to hold ASCII versions of integers were
6211 too small for 64 bit platforms. (CVE-2002-0655)
6212 [Matthew Byng-Maddick <mbm@aldigital.co.uk> and Ben Laurie (CHATS)>
6214 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL3 protocol - an attacker could
6215 supply an oversized session ID to a client. (CVE-2002-0656)
6216 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6218 *) Remote buffer overflow in SSL2 protocol - an attacker could
6219 supply an oversized client master key. (CVE-2002-0656)
6220 [Ben Laurie (CHATS)]
6222 Changes between 0.9.6c and 0.9.6d [9 May 2002]
6224 *) Fix crypto/asn1/a_sign.c so that 'parameters' is omitted (not
6225 encoded as NULL) with id-dsa-with-sha1.
6226 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>; problem pointed out by Bodo Moeller]
6228 *) Check various X509_...() return values in apps/req.c.
6229 [Nils Larsch <nla@trustcenter.de>]
6231 *) Fix BASE64 decode (EVP_DecodeUpdate) for data with CR/LF ended lines:
6232 an end-of-file condition would erronously be flagged, when the CRLF
6233 was just at the end of a processed block. The bug was discovered when
6234 processing data through a buffering memory BIO handing the data to a
6235 BASE64-decoding BIO. Bug fund and patch submitted by Pavel Tsekov
6236 <ptsekov@syntrex.com> and Nedelcho Stanev.
6239 *) Implement a countermeasure against a vulnerability recently found
6240 in CBC ciphersuites in SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0: Send an empty fragment
6241 before application data chunks to avoid the use of known IVs
6242 with data potentially chosen by the attacker.
6245 *) Fix length checks in ssl3_get_client_hello().
6248 *) TLS/SSL library bugfix: use s->s3->in_read_app_data differently
6249 to prevent ssl3_read_internal() from incorrectly assuming that
6250 ssl3_read_bytes() found application data while handshake
6251 processing was enabled when in fact s->s3->in_read_app_data was
6252 merely automatically cleared during the initial handshake.
6253 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
6255 *) Fix object definitions for Private and Enterprise: they were not
6256 recognized in their shortname (=lowercase) representation. Extend
6257 obj_dat.pl to issue an error when using undefined keywords instead
6258 of silently ignoring the problem (Svenning Sorensen
6259 <sss@sss.dnsalias.net>).
6262 *) Fix DH_generate_parameters() so that it works for 'non-standard'
6263 generators, i.e. generators other than 2 and 5. (Previously, the
6264 code did not properly initialise the 'add' and 'rem' values to
6265 BN_generate_prime().)
6267 In the new general case, we do not insist that 'generator' is
6268 actually a primitive root: This requirement is rather pointless;
6269 a generator of the order-q subgroup is just as good, if not
6273 *) Map new X509 verification errors to alerts. Discovered and submitted by
6274 Tom Wu <tom@arcot.com>.
6277 *) Fix ssl3_pending() (ssl/s3_lib.c) to prevent SSL_pending() from
6278 returning non-zero before the data has been completely received
6279 when using non-blocking I/O.
6280 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by John Hughes]
6282 *) Some of the ciphers missed the strength entry (SSL_LOW etc).
6283 [Ben Laurie, Lutz Jaenicke]
6285 *) Fix bug in SSL_clear(): bad sessions were not removed (found by
6286 Yoram Zahavi <YoramZ@gilian.com>).
6289 *) Add information about CygWin 1.3 and on, and preserve proper
6290 configuration for the versions before that.
6291 [Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com> and Richard Levitte]
6293 *) Make removal from session cache (SSL_CTX_remove_session()) more robust:
6294 check whether we deal with a copy of a session and do not delete from
6295 the cache in this case. Problem reported by "Izhar Shoshani Levi"
6296 <izhar@checkpoint.com>.
6299 *) Do not store session data into the internal session cache, if it
6300 is never intended to be looked up (SSL_SESS_CACHE_NO_INTERNAL_LOOKUP
6301 flag is set). Proposed by Aslam <aslam@funk.com>.
6304 *) Have ASN1_BIT_STRING_set_bit() really clear a bit when the requested
6308 *) [In 0.9.6d-engine release:]
6309 Fix a crashbug and a logic bug in hwcrhk_load_pubkey().
6310 [Toomas Kiisk <vix@cyber.ee> via Richard Levitte]
6312 *) Add the configuration target linux-s390x.
6313 [Neale Ferguson <Neale.Ferguson@SoftwareAG-USA.com> via Richard Levitte]
6315 *) The earlier bugfix for the SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C case of
6316 ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c) incorrectly used a local flag
6317 variable as an indication that a ClientHello message has been
6318 received. As the flag value will be lost between multiple
6319 invocations of ssl3_accept when using non-blocking I/O, the
6320 function may not be aware that a handshake has actually taken
6321 place, thus preventing a new session from being added to the
6324 To avoid this problem, we now set s->new_session to 2 instead of
6325 using a local variable.
6326 [Lutz Jaenicke, Bodo Moeller]
6328 *) Bugfix: Return -1 from ssl3_get_server_done (ssl3/s3_clnt.c)
6329 if the SSL_R_LENGTH_MISMATCH error is detected.
6330 [Geoff Thorpe, Bodo Moeller]
6332 *) New 'shared_ldflag' column in Configure platform table.
6335 *) Fix EVP_CIPHER_mode macro.
6336 ["Dan S. Camper" <dan@bti.net>]
6338 *) Fix ssl3_read_bytes (ssl/s3_pkt.c): To ignore messages of unknown
6339 type, we must throw them away by setting rr->length to 0.
6340 [D P Chang <dpc@qualys.com>]
6342 Changes between 0.9.6b and 0.9.6c [21 dec 2001]
6344 *) Fix BN_rand_range bug pointed out by Dominikus Scherkl
6345 <Dominikus.Scherkl@biodata.com>. (The previous implementation
6346 worked incorrectly for those cases where range = 10..._2 and
6347 3*range is two bits longer than range.)
6350 *) Only add signing time to PKCS7 structures if it is not already
6354 *) Fix crypto/objects/objects.h: "ld-ce" should be "id-ce",
6355 OBJ_ld_ce should be OBJ_id_ce.
6356 Also some ip-pda OIDs in crypto/objects/objects.txt were
6357 incorrect (cf. RFC 3039).
6358 [Matt Cooper, Frederic Giudicelli, Bodo Moeller]
6360 *) Release CRYPTO_LOCK_DYNLOCK when CRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()
6361 returns early because it has nothing to do.
6362 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6364 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6365 Fix mutex callback return values in crypto/engine/hw_ncipher.c.
6366 [Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6368 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6369 Add support for Cryptographic Appliance's keyserver technology.
6370 (Use engine 'keyclient')
6371 [Cryptographic Appliances and Geoff Thorpe]
6373 *) Add a configuration entry for OS/390 Unix. The C compiler 'c89'
6374 is called via tools/c89.sh because arguments have to be
6375 rearranged (all '-L' options must appear before the first object
6377 [Richard Shapiro <rshapiro@abinitio.com>]
6379 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6380 Add support for Broadcom crypto accelerator cards, backported
6382 [Broadcom, Nalin Dahyabhai <nalin@redhat.com>, Mark Cox]
6384 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6385 Add support for SureWare crypto accelerator cards from
6386 Baltimore Technologies. (Use engine 'sureware')
6387 [Baltimore Technologies and Mark Cox]
6389 *) [In 0.9.6c-engine release:]
6390 Add support for crypto accelerator cards from Accelerated
6391 Encryption Processing, www.aep.ie. (Use engine 'aep')
6392 [AEP Inc. and Mark Cox]
6394 *) Add a configuration entry for gcc on UnixWare.
6395 [Gary Benson <gbenson@redhat.com>]
6397 *) Change ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s2_srvr.c so that received handshake
6398 messages are stored in a single piece (fixed-length part and
6399 variable-length part combined) and fix various bugs found on the way.
6402 *) Disable caching in BIO_gethostbyname(), directly use gethostbyname()
6403 instead. BIO_gethostbyname() does not know what timeouts are
6404 appropriate, so entries would stay in cache even when they have
6406 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Rich Salz <rsalz@zolera.com>
6408 *) Change ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) behaviour when
6409 faced with a pathologically small ClientHello fragment that does
6410 not contain client_version: Instead of aborting with an error,
6411 simply choose the highest available protocol version (i.e.,
6412 TLS 1.0 unless it is disabled). In practice, ClientHello
6413 messages are never sent like this, but this change gives us
6414 strictly correct behaviour at least for TLS.
6417 *) Fix SSL handshake functions and SSL_clear() such that SSL_clear()
6418 never resets s->method to s->ctx->method when called from within
6419 one of the SSL handshake functions.
6420 [Bodo Moeller; problem pointed out by Niko Baric]
6422 *) In ssl3_get_client_hello (ssl/s3_srvr.c), generate a fatal alert
6423 (sent using the client's version number) if client_version is
6424 smaller than the protocol version in use. Also change
6425 ssl23_get_client_hello (ssl/s23_srvr.c) to select TLS 1.0 if
6426 the client demanded SSL 3.0 but only TLS 1.0 is enabled; then
6427 the client will at least see that alert.
6430 *) Fix ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) to handle message fragmentation
6434 *) Avoid infinite loop in ssl3_get_message (ssl/s3_both.c) if a
6435 client receives HelloRequest while in a handshake.
6436 [Bodo Moeller; bug noticed by Andy Schneider <andy.schneider@bjss.co.uk>]
6438 *) Bugfix in ssl3_accept (ssl/s3_srvr.c): Case SSL3_ST_SW_HELLO_REQ_C
6439 should end in 'break', not 'goto end' which circuments various
6440 cleanups done in state SSL_ST_OK. But session related stuff
6441 must be disabled for SSL_ST_OK in the case that we just sent a
6444 Also avoid some overhead by not calling ssl_init_wbio_buffer()
6445 before just sending a HelloRequest.
6446 [Bodo Moeller, Eric Rescorla <ekr@rtfm.com>]
6448 *) Fix ssl/s3_enc.c, ssl/t1_enc.c and ssl/s3_pkt.c so that we don't
6449 reveal whether illegal block cipher padding was found or a MAC
6450 verification error occured. (Neither SSLerr() codes nor alerts
6451 are directly visible to potential attackers, but the information
6452 may leak via logfiles.)
6454 Similar changes are not required for the SSL 2.0 implementation
6455 because the number of padding bytes is sent in clear for SSL 2.0,
6456 and the extra bytes are just ignored. However ssl/s2_pkt.c
6457 failed to verify that the purported number of padding bytes is in
6461 *) Add OpenUNIX-8 support including shared libraries
6462 (Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>).
6465 *) Improve RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_OAEP() check again to avoid
6466 'wristwatch attack' using huge encoding parameters (cf.
6467 James H. Manger's CRYPTO 2001 paper). Note that the
6468 RSA_PKCS1_OAEP_PADDING case of RSA_private_decrypt() does not use
6469 encoding parameters and hence was not vulnerable.
6472 *) BN_sqr() bug fix.
6473 [Ulf Möller, reported by Jim Ellis <jim.ellis@cavium.com>]
6475 *) Rabin-Miller test analyses assume uniformly distributed witnesses,
6476 so use BN_pseudo_rand_range() instead of using BN_pseudo_rand()
6477 followed by modular reduction.
6478 [Bodo Moeller; pointed out by Adam Young <AYoung1@NCSUS.JNJ.COM>]
6480 *) Add BN_pseudo_rand_range() with obvious functionality: BN_rand_range()
6481 equivalent based on BN_pseudo_rand() instead of BN_rand().
6484 *) s3_srvr.c: allow sending of large client certificate lists (> 16 kB).
6485 This function was broken, as the check for a new client hello message
6486 to handle SGC did not allow these large messages.
6487 (Tracked down by "Douglas E. Engert" <deengert@anl.gov>.)
6490 *) Add alert descriptions for TLSv1 to SSL_alert_desc_string[_long]().
6493 *) Fix buggy behaviour of BIO_get_num_renegotiates() and BIO_ctrl()
6494 for BIO_C_GET_WRITE_BUF_SIZE ("Stephen Hinton" <shinton@netopia.com>).
6497 *) Rework the configuration and shared library support for Tru64 Unix.
6498 The configuration part makes use of modern compiler features and
6499 still retains old compiler behavior for those that run older versions
6500 of the OS. The shared library support part includes a variant that
6501 uses the RPATH feature, and is available through the special
6502 configuration target "alpha-cc-rpath", which will never be selected
6504 [Tim Mooney <mooney@dogbert.cc.ndsu.NoDak.edu> via Richard Levitte]
6506 *) In ssl3_get_key_exchange (ssl/s3_clnt.c), call ssl3_get_message()
6507 with the same message size as in ssl3_get_certificate_request().
6508 Otherwise, if no ServerKeyExchange message occurs, CertificateRequest
6509 messages might inadvertently be reject as too long.
6510 [Petr Lampa <lampa@fee.vutbr.cz>]
6512 *) Enhanced support for IA-64 Unix platforms (well, Linux and HP-UX).
6515 *) Modified SSL library such that the verify_callback that has been set
6516 specificly for an SSL object with SSL_set_verify() is actually being
6517 used. Before the change, a verify_callback set with this function was
6518 ignored and the verify_callback() set in the SSL_CTX at the time of
6519 the call was used. New function X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() introduced
6520 to allow the necessary settings.
6523 *) Initialize static variable in crypto/dsa/dsa_lib.c and crypto/dh/dh_lib.c
6524 explicitly to NULL, as at least on Solaris 8 this seems not always to be
6525 done automatically (in contradiction to the requirements of the C
6526 standard). This made problems when used from OpenSSH.
6529 *) In OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b, crypto/dh/dh_key.c ignored
6530 dh->length and always used
6532 BN_rand_range(priv_key, dh->p).
6534 BN_rand_range() is not necessary for Diffie-Hellman, and this
6535 specific range makes Diffie-Hellman unnecessarily inefficient if
6536 dh->length (recommended exponent length) is much smaller than the
6537 length of dh->p. We could use BN_rand_range() if the order of
6538 the subgroup was stored in the DH structure, but we only have
6543 BN_rand(priv_key, l, ...)
6545 where 'l' is dh->length if this is defined, or BN_num_bits(dh->p)-1
6551 RSA_eay_public_encrypt
6552 RSA_eay_private_decrypt
6553 RSA_eay_private_encrypt (signing)
6554 RSA_eay_public_decrypt (signature verification)
6556 (default implementations for RSA_public_encrypt,
6557 RSA_private_decrypt, RSA_private_encrypt, RSA_public_decrypt),
6558 always reject numbers >= n.
6561 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, use a new short-time lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND2
6562 to synchronize access to 'locking_thread'. This is necessary on
6563 systems where access to 'locking_thread' (an 'unsigned long'
6564 variable) is not atomic.
6567 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, set 'locking_thread' to current thread's ID
6568 *before* setting the 'crypto_lock_rand' flag. The previous code had
6569 a race condition if 0 is a valid thread ID.
6570 [Travis Vitek <vitek@roguewave.com>]
6572 *) Add support for shared libraries under Irix.
6573 [Albert Chin-A-Young <china@thewrittenword.com>]
6575 *) Add configuration option to build on Linux on both big-endian and
6577 [Ralf Baechle <ralf@uni-koblenz.de>]
6579 *) Add the possibility to create shared libraries on HP-UX.
6582 Changes between 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b [9 Jul 2001]
6584 *) Change ssleay_rand_bytes (crypto/rand/md_rand.c)
6585 to avoid a SSLeay/OpenSSL PRNG weakness pointed out by
6586 Markku-Juhani O. Saarinen <markku-juhani.saarinen@nokia.com>:
6587 PRNG state recovery was possible based on the output of
6588 one PRNG request appropriately sized to gain knowledge on
6589 'md' followed by enough consecutive 1-byte PRNG requests
6590 to traverse all of 'state'.
6592 1. When updating 'md_local' (the current thread's copy of 'md')
6593 during PRNG output generation, hash all of the previous
6594 'md_local' value, not just the half used for PRNG output.
6596 2. Make the number of bytes from 'state' included into the hash
6597 independent from the number of PRNG bytes requested.
6599 The first measure alone would be sufficient to avoid
6600 Markku-Juhani's attack. (Actually it had never occurred
6601 to me that the half of 'md_local' used for chaining was the
6602 half from which PRNG output bytes were taken -- I had always
6603 assumed that the secret half would be used.) The second
6604 measure makes sure that additional data from 'state' is never
6605 mixed into 'md_local' in small portions; this heuristically
6606 further strengthens the PRNG.
6609 *) Fix crypto/bn/asm/mips3.s.
6612 *) When only the key is given to "enc", the IV is undefined. Print out
6613 an error message in this case.
6616 *) Handle special case when X509_NAME is empty in X509 printing routines.
6619 *) In dsa_do_verify (crypto/dsa/dsa_ossl.c), verify that r and s are
6620 positive and less than q.
6623 *) Don't change *pointer in CRYPTO_add_lock() is add_lock_callback is
6624 used: it isn't thread safe and the add_lock_callback should handle
6626 [Paul Rose <Paul.Rose@bridge.com>]
6628 *) Verify that incoming data obeys the block size in
6629 ssl3_enc (ssl/s3_enc.c) and tls1_enc (ssl/t1_enc.c).
6633 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
6635 *) The countermeasure against Bleichbacher's attack on PKCS #1 v1.5
6636 RSA encryption was accidentally removed in s3_srvr.c in OpenSSL 0.9.5
6637 when fixing the server behaviour for backwards-compatible 'client
6638 hello' messages. (Note that the attack is impractical against
6639 SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 anyway because length and version checking
6640 means that the probability of guessing a valid ciphertext is
6641 around 2^-40; see section 5 in Bleichenbacher's CRYPTO '98
6644 Before 0.9.5, the countermeasure (hide the error by generating a
6645 random 'decryption result') did not work properly because
6646 ERR_clear_error() was missing, meaning that SSL_get_error() would
6647 detect the supposedly ignored error.
6649 Both problems are now fixed.
6652 *) In crypto/bio/bf_buff.c, increase DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE to 4096
6653 (previously it was 1024).
6656 *) Fix for compatibility mode trust settings: ignore trust settings
6657 unless some valid trust or reject settings are present.
6660 *) Fix for blowfish EVP: its a variable length cipher.
6663 *) Fix various bugs related to DSA S/MIME verification. Handle missing
6664 parameters in DSA public key structures and return an error in the
6665 DSA routines if parameters are absent.
6668 *) In versions up to 0.9.6, RAND_file_name() resorted to file ".rnd"
6669 in the current directory if neither $RANDFILE nor $HOME was set.
6670 RAND_file_name() in 0.9.6a returned NULL in this case. This has
6671 caused some confusion to Windows users who haven't defined $HOME.
6672 Thus RAND_file_name() is changed again: e_os.h can define a
6673 DEFAULT_HOME, which will be used if $HOME is not set.
6674 For Windows, we use "C:"; on other platforms, we still require
6675 environment variables.
6677 *) Move 'if (!initialized) RAND_poll()' into regions protected by
6678 CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND. This is not strictly necessary, but avoids
6679 having multiple threads call RAND_poll() concurrently.
6682 *) In crypto/rand/md_rand.c, replace 'add_do_not_lock' flag by a
6683 combination of a flag and a thread ID variable.
6684 Otherwise while one thread is in ssleay_rand_bytes (which sets the
6685 flag), *other* threads can enter ssleay_add_bytes without obeying
6686 the CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND lock (and may even illegally release the lock
6687 that they do not hold after the first thread unsets add_do_not_lock).
6690 *) Change bctest again: '-x' expressions are not available in all
6694 Changes between 0.9.6 and 0.9.6a [5 Apr 2001]
6696 *) Fix a couple of memory leaks in PKCS7_dataDecode()
6697 [Steve Henson, reported by Heyun Zheng <hzheng@atdsprint.com>]
6699 *) Change Configure and Makefiles to provide EXE_EXT, which will contain
6700 the default extension for executables, if any. Also, make the perl
6701 scripts that use symlink() to test if it really exists and use "cp"
6702 if it doesn't. All this made OpenSSL compilable and installable in
6706 *) Fix for asn1_GetSequence() for indefinite length constructed data.
6707 If SEQUENCE is length is indefinite just set c->slen to the total
6708 amount of data available.
6709 [Steve Henson, reported by shige@FreeBSD.org]
6710 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6712 *) Change bctest to avoid here-documents inside command substitution
6713 (workaround for FreeBSD /bin/sh bug).
6714 For compatibility with Ultrix, avoid shell functions (introduced
6715 in the bctest version that searches along $PATH).
6718 *) Rename 'des_encrypt' to 'des_encrypt1'. This avoids the clashes
6719 with des_encrypt() defined on some operating systems, like Solaris
6723 *) Check the result of RSA-CRT (see D. Boneh, R. DeMillo, R. Lipton:
6724 On the Importance of Eliminating Errors in Cryptographic
6725 Computations, J. Cryptology 14 (2001) 2, 101-119,
6726 http://theory.stanford.edu/~dabo/papers/faults.ps.gz).
6729 *) MIPS assembler BIGNUM division bug fix.
6732 *) Disabled incorrect Alpha assembler code.
6735 *) Fix PKCS#7 decode routines so they correctly update the length
6736 after reading an EOC for the EXPLICIT tag.
6738 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6740 *) Fix bug in PKCS#12 key generation routines. This was triggered
6741 if a 3DES key was generated with a 0 initial byte. Include
6742 PKCS12_BROKEN_KEYGEN compilation option to retain the old
6743 (but broken) behaviour.
6746 *) Enhance bctest to search for a working bc along $PATH and print
6748 [Tim Rice <tim@multitalents.net> via Richard Levitte]
6750 *) Fix memory leaks in err.c: free err_data string if necessary;
6751 don't write to the wrong index in ERR_set_error_data.
6754 *) Implement ssl23_peek (analogous to ssl23_read), which previously
6758 *) Replace rdtsc with _emit statements for VC++ version 5.
6759 [Jeremy Cooper <jeremy@baymoo.org>]
6761 *) Make it possible to reuse SSLv2 sessions.
6764 *) In copy_email() check for >= 0 as a return value for
6765 X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID() since 0 is a valid index.
6766 [Steve Henson reported by Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@opensca.org>]
6768 *) Avoid coredump with unsupported or invalid public keys by checking if
6769 X509_get_pubkey() fails in PKCS7_verify(). Fix memory leak when
6770 PKCS7_verify() fails with non detached data.
6773 *) Don't use getenv in library functions when run as setuid/setgid.
6774 New function OPENSSL_issetugid().
6777 *) Avoid false positives in memory leak detection code (crypto/mem_dbg.c)
6778 due to incorrect handling of multi-threading:
6780 1. Fix timing glitch in the MemCheck_off() portion of CRYPTO_mem_ctrl().
6782 2. Fix logical glitch in is_MemCheck_on() aka CRYPTO_is_mem_check_on().
6784 3. Count how many times MemCheck_off() has been called so that
6785 nested use can be treated correctly. This also avoids
6786 inband-signalling in the previous code (which relied on the
6787 assumption that thread ID 0 is impossible).
6790 *) Add "-rand" option also to s_client and s_server.
6793 *) Fix CPU detection on Irix 6.x.
6794 [Kurt Hockenbury <khockenb@stevens-tech.edu> and
6795 "Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6797 *) Fix X509_NAME bug which produced incorrect encoding if X509_NAME
6800 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6802 *) Use the cached encoding of an X509_NAME structure rather than
6803 copying it. This is apparently the reason for the libsafe "errors"
6804 but the code is actually correct.
6807 *) Add new function BN_rand_range(), and fix DSA_sign_setup() to prevent
6808 Bleichenbacher's DSA attack.
6809 Extend BN_[pseudo_]rand: As before, top=1 forces the highest two bits
6810 to be set and top=0 forces the highest bit to be set; top=-1 is new
6811 and leaves the highest bit random.
6812 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
6814 *) In the NCONF_...-based implementations for CONF_... queries
6815 (crypto/conf/conf_lib.c), if the input LHASH is NULL, avoid using
6816 a temporary CONF structure with the data component set to NULL
6817 (which gives segmentation faults in lh_retrieve).
6818 Instead, use NULL for the CONF pointer in CONF_get_string and
6819 CONF_get_number (which may use environment variables) and directly
6820 return NULL from CONF_get_section.
6823 *) Fix potential buffer overrun for EBCDIC.
6826 *) Tolerate nonRepudiation as being valid for S/MIME signing and certSign
6827 keyUsage if basicConstraints absent for a CA.
6830 *) Make SMIME_write_PKCS7() write mail header values with a format that
6831 is more generally accepted (no spaces before the semicolon), since
6832 some programs can't parse those values properly otherwise. Also make
6833 sure BIO's that break lines after each write do not create invalid
6837 *) Make the CRL encoding routines work with empty SEQUENCE OF. The
6838 macros previously used would not encode an empty SEQUENCE OF
6839 and break the signature.
6841 [This change does not apply to 0.9.7.]
6843 *) Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in
6847 *) Add some EVP_add_digest_alias registrations (as found in
6848 OpenSSL_add_all_digests()) to SSL_library_init()
6849 aka OpenSSL_add_ssl_algorithms(). This provides improved
6850 compatibility with peers using X.509 certificates
6851 with unconventional AlgorithmIdentifier OIDs.
6854 *) Fix for Irix with NO_ASM.
6855 ["Bruce W. Forsberg" <bruce.forsberg@baesystems.com>]
6857 *) ./config script fixes.
6858 [Ulf Moeller, Richard Levitte]
6860 *) Fix 'openssl passwd -1'.
6863 *) Change PKCS12_key_gen_asc() so it can cope with non null
6864 terminated strings whose length is passed in the passlen
6865 parameter, for example from PEM callbacks. This was done
6866 by adding an extra length parameter to asc2uni().
6867 [Steve Henson, reported by <oddissey@samsung.co.kr>]
6869 *) Fix C code generated by 'openssl dsaparam -C': If a BN_bin2bn
6870 call failed, free the DSA structure.
6873 *) Fix to uni2asc() to cope with zero length Unicode strings.
6874 These are present in some PKCS#12 files.
6877 *) Increase s2->wbuf allocation by one byte in ssl2_new (ssl/s2_lib.c).
6878 Otherwise do_ssl_write (ssl/s2_pkt.c) will write beyond buffer limits
6879 when writing a 32767 byte record.
6880 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Eric Day <eday@concentric.net>]
6882 *) In RSA_eay_public_{en,ed}crypt and RSA_eay_mod_exp (rsa_eay.c),
6883 obtain lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA before setting rsa->_method_mod_{n,p,q}.
6885 (RSA objects have a reference count access to which is protected
6886 by CRYPTO_LOCK_RSA [see rsa_lib.c, s3_srvr.c, ssl_cert.c, ssl_rsa.c],
6887 so they are meant to be shared between threads.)
6888 [Bodo Moeller, Geoff Thorpe; original patch submitted by
6889 "Reddie, Steven" <Steven.Reddie@ca.com>]
6891 *) Fix a deadlock in CRYPTO_mem_leaks().
6894 *) Use better test patterns in bntest.
6897 *) rand_win.c fix for Borland C.
6900 *) BN_rshift bugfix for n == 0.
6903 *) Add a 'bctest' script that checks for some known 'bc' bugs
6904 so that 'make test' does not abort just because 'bc' is broken.
6907 *) Store verify_result within SSL_SESSION also for client side to
6908 avoid potential security hole. (Re-used sessions on the client side
6909 always resulted in verify_result==X509_V_OK, not using the original
6910 result of the server certificate verification.)
6913 *) Fix ssl3_pending: If the record in s->s3->rrec is not of type
6914 SSL3_RT_APPLICATION_DATA, return 0.
6915 Similarly, change ssl2_pending to return 0 if SSL_in_init(s) is true.
6919 Both ssl2_peek and ssl3_peek, which were totally broken in earlier
6920 releases, have been re-implemented by renaming the previous
6921 implementations of ssl2_read and ssl3_read to ssl2_read_internal
6922 and ssl3_read_internal, respectively, and adding 'peek' parameters
6923 to them. The new ssl[23]_{read,peek} functions are calls to
6924 ssl[23]_read_internal with the 'peek' flag set appropriately.
6925 A 'peek' parameter has also been added to ssl3_read_bytes, which
6926 does the actual work for ssl3_read_internal.
6929 *) Initialise "ex_data" member of RSA/DSA/DH structures prior to calling
6930 the method-specific "init()" handler. Also clean up ex_data after
6931 calling the method-specific "finish()" handler. Previously, this was
6932 happening the other way round.
6935 *) Increase BN_CTX_NUM (the number of BIGNUMs in a BN_CTX) to 16.
6936 The previous value, 12, was not always sufficient for BN_mod_exp().
6939 *) Make sure that shared libraries get the internal name engine with
6940 the full version number and not just 0. This should mark the
6941 shared libraries as not backward compatible. Of course, this should
6942 be changed again when we can guarantee backward binary compatibility.
6945 *) Fix typo in get_cert_by_subject() in by_dir.c
6946 [Jean-Marc Desperrier <jean-marc.desperrier@certplus.com>]
6948 *) Rework the system to generate shared libraries:
6950 - Make note of the expected extension for the shared libraries and
6951 if there is a need for symbolic links from for example libcrypto.so.0
6952 to libcrypto.so.0.9.7. There is extended info in Configure for
6955 - Make as few rebuilds of the shared libraries as possible.
6957 - Still avoid linking the OpenSSL programs with the shared libraries.
6959 - When installing, install the shared libraries separately from the
6963 *) Fix SSL_CTX_set_read_ahead macro to actually use its argument.
6965 Copy SSL_CTX's read_ahead flag to SSL object directly in SSL_new
6966 and not in SSL_clear because the latter is also used by the
6967 accept/connect functions; previously, the settings made by
6968 SSL_set_read_ahead would be lost during the handshake.
6969 [Bodo Moeller; problems reported by Anders Gertz <gertz@epact.se>]
6971 *) Correct util/mkdef.pl to be selective about disabled algorithms.
6972 Previously, it would create entries for disableed algorithms no
6976 *) Added several new manual pages for SSL_* function.
6979 Changes between 0.9.5a and 0.9.6 [24 Sep 2000]
6981 *) In ssl23_get_client_hello, generate an error message when faced
6982 with an initial SSL 3.0/TLS record that is too small to contain the
6983 first two bytes of the ClientHello message, i.e. client_version.
6984 (Note that this is a pathologic case that probably has never happened
6985 in real life.) The previous approach was to use the version number
6986 from the record header as a substitute; but our protocol choice
6987 should not depend on that one because it is not authenticated
6988 by the Finished messages.
6991 *) More robust randomness gathering functions for Windows.
6992 [Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@columbia.edu>]
6994 *) For compatibility reasons if the flag X509_V_FLAG_ISSUER_CHECK is
6995 not set then we don't setup the error code for issuer check errors
6996 to avoid possibly overwriting other errors which the callback does
6997 handle. If an application does set the flag then we assume it knows
6998 what it is doing and can handle the new informational codes
7002 *) Fix for a nasty bug in ASN1_TYPE handling. ASN1_TYPE is used for
7003 a general "ANY" type, as such it should be able to decode anything
7004 including tagged types. However it didn't check the class so it would
7005 wrongly interpret tagged types in the same way as their universal
7006 counterpart and unknown types were just rejected. Changed so that the
7007 tagged and unknown types are handled in the same way as a SEQUENCE:
7008 that is the encoding is stored intact. There is also a new type
7009 "V_ASN1_OTHER" which is used when the class is not universal, in this
7010 case we have no idea what the actual type is so we just lump them all
7014 *) On VMS, stdout may very well lead to a file that is written to
7015 in a record-oriented fashion. That means that every write() will
7016 write a separate record, which will be read separately by the
7017 programs trying to read from it. This can be very confusing.
7019 The solution is to put a BIO filter in the way that will buffer
7020 text until a linefeed is reached, and then write everything a
7021 line at a time, so every record written will be an actual line,
7022 not chunks of lines and not (usually doesn't happen, but I've
7023 seen it once) several lines in one record. BIO_f_linebuffer() is
7026 Currently, it's a VMS-only method, because that's where it has
7027 been tested well enough.
7030 *) Remove 'optimized' squaring variant in BN_mod_mul_montgomery,
7031 it can return incorrect results.
7032 (Note: The buggy variant was not enabled in OpenSSL 0.9.5a,
7033 but it was in 0.9.6-beta[12].)
7036 *) Disable the check for content being present when verifying detached
7037 signatures in pk7_smime.c. Some versions of Netscape (wrongly)
7038 include zero length content when signing messages.
7041 *) New BIO_shutdown_wr macro, which invokes the BIO_C_SHUTDOWN_WR
7042 BIO_ctrl (for BIO pairs).
7045 *) Add DSO method for VMS.
7048 *) Bug fix: Montgomery multiplication could produce results with the
7052 *) Add RPM specification openssl.spec and modify it to build three
7053 packages. The default package contains applications, application
7054 documentation and run-time libraries. The devel package contains
7055 include files, static libraries and function documentation. The
7056 doc package contains the contents of the doc directory. The original
7057 openssl.spec was provided by Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>.
7060 *) Add a large number of documentation files for many SSL routines.
7061 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
7063 *) Add a configuration entry for Sony News 4.
7064 [NAKAJI Hiroyuki <nakaji@tutrp.tut.ac.jp>]
7066 *) Don't set the two most significant bits to one when generating a
7067 random number < q in the DSA library.
7070 *) New SSL API mode 'SSL_MODE_AUTO_RETRY'. This disables the default
7071 behaviour that SSL_read may result in SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ (even if
7072 the underlying transport is blocking) if a handshake took place.
7073 (The default behaviour is needed by applications such as s_client
7074 and s_server that use select() to determine when to use SSL_read;
7075 but for applications that know in advance when to expect data, it
7076 just makes things more complicated.)
7079 *) Add RAND_egd_bytes(), which gives control over the number of bytes read
7083 *) Add a few more EBCDIC conditionals that make `req' and `x509'
7084 work better on such systems.
7085 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
7087 *) Add two demo programs for PKCS12_parse() and PKCS12_create().
7088 Update PKCS12_parse() so it copies the friendlyName and the
7089 keyid to the certificates aux info.
7092 *) Fix bug in PKCS7_verify() which caused an infinite loop
7093 if there was more than one signature.
7094 [Sven Uszpelkat <su@celocom.de>]
7096 *) Major change in util/mkdef.pl to include extra information
7097 about each symbol, as well as presentig variables as well
7098 as functions. This change means that there's n more need
7099 to rebuild the .num files when some algorithms are excluded.
7102 *) Allow the verify time to be set by an application,
7103 rather than always using the current time.
7106 *) Phase 2 verify code reorganisation. The certificate
7107 verify code now looks up an issuer certificate by a
7108 number of criteria: subject name, authority key id
7109 and key usage. It also verifies self signed certificates
7110 by the same criteria. The main comparison function is
7111 X509_check_issued() which performs these checks.
7113 Lot of changes were necessary in order to support this
7114 without completely rewriting the lookup code.
7116 Authority and subject key identifier are now cached.
7118 The LHASH 'certs' is X509_STORE has now been replaced
7119 by a STACK_OF(X509_OBJECT). This is mainly because an
7120 LHASH can't store or retrieve multiple objects with
7121 the same hash value.
7123 As a result various functions (which were all internal
7124 use only) have changed to handle the new X509_STORE
7125 structure. This will break anything that messed round
7126 with X509_STORE internally.
7128 The functions X509_STORE_add_cert() now checks for an
7129 exact match, rather than just subject name.
7131 The X509_STORE API doesn't directly support the retrieval
7132 of multiple certificates matching a given criteria, however
7133 this can be worked round by performing a lookup first
7134 (which will fill the cache with candidate certificates)
7135 and then examining the cache for matches. This is probably
7136 the best we can do without throwing out X509_LOOKUP
7137 entirely (maybe later...).
7139 The X509_VERIFY_CTX structure has been enhanced considerably.
7141 All certificate lookup operations now go via a get_issuer()
7142 callback. Although this currently uses an X509_STORE it
7143 can be replaced by custom lookups. This is a simple way
7144 to bypass the X509_STORE hackery necessary to make this
7145 work and makes it possible to use more efficient techniques
7146 in future. A very simple version which uses a simple
7147 STACK for its trusted certificate store is also provided
7148 using X509_STORE_CTX_trusted_stack().
7150 The verify_cb() and verify() callbacks now have equivalents
7151 in the X509_STORE_CTX structure.
7153 X509_STORE_CTX also has a 'flags' field which can be used
7154 to customise the verify behaviour.
7157 *) Add new PKCS#7 signing option PKCS7_NOSMIMECAP which
7158 excludes S/MIME capabilities.
7161 *) When a certificate request is read in keep a copy of the
7162 original encoding of the signed data and use it when outputing
7163 again. Signatures then use the original encoding rather than
7164 a decoded, encoded version which may cause problems if the
7165 request is improperly encoded.
7168 *) For consistency with other BIO_puts implementations, call
7169 buffer_write(b, ...) directly in buffer_puts instead of calling
7172 In BIO_puts, increment b->num_write as in BIO_write.
7173 [Peter.Sylvester@EdelWeb.fr]
7175 *) Fix BN_mul_word for the case where the word is 0. (We have to use
7176 BN_zero, we may not return a BIGNUM with an array consisting of
7180 *) Avoid calling abort() from within the library when problems are
7181 detected, except if preprocessor symbols have been defined
7182 (such as REF_CHECK, BN_DEBUG etc.).
7185 *) New openssl application 'rsautl'. This utility can be
7186 used for low level RSA operations. DER public key
7187 BIO/fp routines also added.
7190 *) New Configure entry and patches for compiling on QNX 4.
7191 [Andreas Schneider <andreas@ds3.etech.fh-hamburg.de>]
7193 *) A demo state-machine implementation was sponsored by
7194 Nuron (http://www.nuron.com/) and is now available in
7195 demos/state_machine.
7198 *) New options added to the 'dgst' utility for signature
7199 generation and verification.
7202 *) Unrecognized PKCS#7 content types are now handled via a
7203 catch all ASN1_TYPE structure. This allows unsupported
7204 types to be stored as a "blob" and an application can
7205 encode and decode it manually.
7208 *) Fix various signed/unsigned issues to make a_strex.c
7210 [Oscar Jacobsson <oscar.jacobsson@celocom.com>]
7212 *) ASN1 fixes. i2d_ASN1_OBJECT was not returning the correct
7213 length if passed a buffer. ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN failed
7214 if passed a NULL BN and its argument was negative.
7215 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Sven Heiberg <sven@tartu.cyber.ee>]
7217 *) Modification to PKCS#7 encoding routines to output definite
7218 length encoding. Since currently the whole structures are in
7219 memory there's not real point in using indefinite length
7220 constructed encoding. However if OpenSSL is compiled with
7221 the flag PKCS7_INDEFINITE_ENCODING the old form is used.
7224 *) Added BIO_vprintf() and BIO_vsnprintf().
7227 *) Added more prefixes to parse for in the the strings written
7228 through a logging bio, to cover all the levels that are available
7229 through syslog. The prefixes are now:
7231 PANIC, EMERG, EMR => LOG_EMERG
7232 ALERT, ALR => LOG_ALERT
7233 CRIT, CRI => LOG_CRIT
7234 ERROR, ERR => LOG_ERR
7235 WARNING, WARN, WAR => LOG_WARNING
7236 NOTICE, NOTE, NOT => LOG_NOTICE
7237 INFO, INF => LOG_INFO
7238 DEBUG, DBG => LOG_DEBUG
7240 and as before, if none of those prefixes are present at the
7241 beginning of the string, LOG_ERR is chosen.
7243 On Win32, the LOG_* levels are mapped according to this:
7245 LOG_EMERG, LOG_ALERT, LOG_CRIT, LOG_ERR => EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE
7246 LOG_WARNING => EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE
7247 LOG_NOTICE, LOG_INFO, LOG_DEBUG => EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE
7251 *) Made it possible to reconfigure with just the configuration
7252 argument "reconf" or "reconfigure". The command line arguments
7253 are stored in Makefile.ssl in the variable CONFIGURE_ARGS,
7254 and are retrieved from there when reconfiguring.
7258 [Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>, Richard Levitte]
7260 *) Add the arguments -CAfile and -CApath to the pkcs12 utility.
7263 *) The obj_dat.pl script was messing up the sorting of object
7264 names. The reason was that it compared the quoted version
7265 of strings as a result "OCSP" > "OCSP Signing" because
7266 " > SPACE. Changed script to store unquoted versions of
7267 names and add quotes on output. It was also omitting some
7268 names from the lookup table if they were given a default
7269 value (that is if SN is missing it is given the same
7270 value as LN and vice versa), these are now added on the
7271 grounds that if an object has a name we should be able to
7272 look it up. Finally added warning output when duplicate
7273 short or long names are found.
7276 *) Changes needed for Tandem NSK.
7277 [Scott Uroff <scott@xypro.com>]
7279 *) Fix SSL 2.0 rollback checking: Due to an off-by-one error in
7280 RSA_padding_check_SSLv23(), special padding was never detected
7281 and thus the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 countermeasure against protocol
7282 version rollback attacks was not effective.
7284 In s23_clnt.c, don't use special rollback-attack detection padding
7285 (RSA_SSLV23_PADDING) if SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the
7286 client; similarly, in s23_srvr.c, don't do the rollback check if
7287 SSL 2.0 is the only protocol enabled in the server.
7290 *) Make it possible to get hexdumps of unprintable data with 'openssl
7291 asn1parse'. By implication, the functions ASN1_parse_dump() and
7292 BIO_dump_indent() are added.
7295 *) New functions ASN1_STRING_print_ex() and X509_NAME_print_ex()
7296 these print out strings and name structures based on various
7297 flags including RFC2253 support and proper handling of
7298 multibyte characters. Added options to the 'x509' utility
7299 to allow the various flags to be set.
7302 *) Various fixes to use ASN1_TIME instead of ASN1_UTCTIME.
7303 Also change the functions X509_cmp_current_time() and
7304 X509_gmtime_adj() work with an ASN1_TIME structure,
7305 this will enable certificates using GeneralizedTime in validity
7306 dates to be checked.
7309 *) Make the NEG_PUBKEY_BUG code (which tolerates invalid
7310 negative public key encodings) on by default,
7311 NO_NEG_PUBKEY_BUG can be set to disable it.
7314 *) New function c2i_ASN1_OBJECT() which acts on ASN1_OBJECT
7315 content octets. An i2c_ASN1_OBJECT is unnecessary because
7316 the encoding can be trivially obtained from the structure.
7319 *) crypto/err.c locking bugfix: Use write locks (CRYPTO_w_[un]lock),
7320 not read locks (CRYPTO_r_[un]lock).
7323 *) A first attempt at creating official support for shared
7324 libraries through configuration. I've kept it so the
7325 default is static libraries only, and the OpenSSL programs
7326 are always statically linked for now, but there are
7327 preparations for dynamic linking in place.
7328 This has been tested on Linux and Tru64.
7331 *) Randomness polling function for Win9x, as described in:
7332 Peter Gutmann, Software Generation of Practically Strong
7336 *) Fix so PRNG is seeded in req if using an already existing
7340 *) New options to smime application. -inform and -outform
7341 allow alternative formats for the S/MIME message including
7342 PEM and DER. The -content option allows the content to be
7343 specified separately. This should allow things like Netscape
7344 form signing output easier to verify.
7347 *) Fix the ASN1 encoding of tags using the 'long form'.
7350 *) New ASN1 functions, i2c_* and c2i_* for INTEGER and BIT
7351 STRING types. These convert content octets to and from the
7352 underlying type. The actual tag and length octets are
7353 already assumed to have been read in and checked. These
7354 are needed because all other string types have virtually
7355 identical handling apart from the tag. By having versions
7356 of the ASN1 functions that just operate on content octets
7357 IMPLICIT tagging can be handled properly. It also allows
7358 the ASN1_ENUMERATED code to be cut down because ASN1_ENUMERATED
7359 and ASN1_INTEGER are identical apart from the tag.
7362 *) Change the handling of OID objects as follows:
7364 - New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following
7365 the syntax given in objects.README.
7366 - objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
7368 - obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
7371 This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
7372 isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way
7373 to check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and
7374 check the array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved
7375 around (this is important!). Additions are OK, as well as
7376 consistent name changes.
7379 *) Add BSD-style MD5-based passwords to 'openssl passwd' (option '-1').
7382 *) Addition of the command line parameter '-rand file' to 'openssl req'.
7383 The given file adds to whatever has already been seeded into the
7384 random pool through the RANDFILE configuration file option or
7385 environment variable, or the default random state file.
7388 *) mkstack.pl now sorts each macro group into lexical order.
7389 Previously the output order depended on the order the files
7390 appeared in the directory, resulting in needless rewriting
7394 *) Patches to make OpenSSL compile under Win32 again. Mostly
7395 work arounds for the VC++ problem that it treats func() as
7396 func(void). Also stripped out the parts of mkdef.pl that
7397 added extra typesafe functions: these no longer exist.
7400 *) Reorganisation of the stack code. The macros are now all
7401 collected in safestack.h . Each macro is defined in terms of
7402 a "stack macro" of the form SKM_<name>(type, a, b). The
7403 DEBUG_SAFESTACK is now handled in terms of function casts,
7404 this has the advantage of retaining type safety without the
7405 use of additional functions. If DEBUG_SAFESTACK is not defined
7406 then the non typesafe macros are used instead. Also modified the
7407 mkstack.pl script to handle the new form. Needs testing to see
7408 if which (if any) compilers it chokes and maybe make DEBUG_SAFESTACK
7409 the default if no major problems. Similar behaviour for ASN1_SET_OF
7410 and PKCS12_STACK_OF.
7413 *) When some versions of IIS use the 'NET' form of private key the
7414 key derivation algorithm is different. Normally MD5(password) is
7415 used as a 128 bit RC4 key. In the modified case
7416 MD5(MD5(password) + "SGCKEYSALT") is used insted. Added some
7417 new functions i2d_RSA_NET(), d2i_RSA_NET() etc which are the same
7418 as the old Netscape_RSA functions except they have an additional
7419 'sgckey' parameter which uses the modified algorithm. Also added
7420 an -sgckey command line option to the rsa utility. Thanks to
7421 Adrian Peck <bertie@ncipher.com> for posting details of the modified
7422 algorithm to openssl-dev.
7425 *) The evp_local.h macros were using 'c.##kname' which resulted in
7426 invalid expansion on some systems (SCO 5.0.5 for example).
7427 Corrected to 'c.kname'.
7428 [Phillip Porch <root@theporch.com>]
7430 *) New X509_get1_email() and X509_REQ_get1_email() functions that return
7431 a STACK of email addresses from a certificate or request, these look
7432 in the subject name and the subject alternative name extensions and
7433 omit any duplicate addresses.
7436 *) Re-implement BN_mod_exp2_mont using independent (and larger) windows.
7437 This makes DSA verification about 2 % faster.
7440 *) Increase maximum window size in BN_mod_exp_... to 6 bits instead of 5
7441 (meaning that now 2^5 values will be precomputed, which is only 4 KB
7442 plus overhead for 1024 bit moduli).
7443 This makes exponentiations about 0.5 % faster for 1024 bit
7444 exponents (as measured by "openssl speed rsa2048").
7447 *) Rename memory handling macros to avoid conflicts with other
7449 Malloc => OPENSSL_malloc
7450 Malloc_locked => OPENSSL_malloc_locked
7451 Realloc => OPENSSL_realloc
7452 Free => OPENSSL_free
7455 *) New function BN_mod_exp_mont_word for small bases (roughly 15%
7456 faster than BN_mod_exp_mont, i.e. 7% for a full DH exchange).
7459 *) CygWin32 support.
7460 [John Jarvie <jjarvie@newsguy.com>]
7462 *) The type-safe stack code has been rejigged. It is now only compiled
7463 in when OpenSSL is configured with the DEBUG_SAFESTACK option and
7464 by default all type-specific stack functions are "#define"d back to
7465 standard stack functions. This results in more streamlined output
7466 but retains the type-safety checking possibilities of the original
7470 *) The STACK code has been cleaned up, and certain type declarations
7471 that didn't make a lot of sense have been brought in line. This has
7472 also involved a cleanup of sorts in safestack.h to more correctly
7473 map type-safe stack functions onto their plain stack counterparts.
7474 This work has also resulted in a variety of "const"ifications of
7475 lots of the code, especially "_cmp" operations which should normally
7476 be prototyped with "const" parameters anyway.
7479 *) When generating bytes for the first time in md_rand.c, 'stir the pool'
7480 by seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes (with zero entropy count).
7481 (The PRNG state consists of two parts, the large pool 'state' and 'md',
7482 where all of 'md' is used each time the PRNG is used, but 'state'
7483 is used only indexed by a cyclic counter. As entropy may not be
7484 well distributed from the beginning, 'md' is important as a
7485 chaining variable. However, the output function chains only half
7486 of 'md', i.e. 80 bits. ssleay_rand_add, on the other hand, chains
7487 all of 'md', and seeding with STATE_SIZE dummy bytes will result
7488 in all of 'state' being rewritten, with the new values depending
7489 on virtually all of 'md'. This overcomes the 80 bit limitation.)
7492 *) In ssl/s2_clnt.c and ssl/s3_clnt.c, call ERR_clear_error() when
7493 the handshake is continued after ssl_verify_cert_chain();
7494 otherwise, if SSL_VERIFY_NONE is set, remaining error codes
7495 can lead to 'unexplainable' connection aborts later.
7496 [Bodo Moeller; problem tracked down by Lutz Jaenicke]
7498 *) Major EVP API cipher revision.
7499 Add hooks for extra EVP features. This allows various cipher
7500 parameters to be set in the EVP interface. Support added for variable
7501 key length ciphers via the EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() function and
7502 setting of RC2 and RC5 parameters.
7504 Modify EVP_OpenInit() and EVP_SealInit() to cope with variable key length
7507 Remove lots of duplicated code from the EVP library. For example *every*
7508 cipher init() function handles the 'iv' in the same way according to the
7509 cipher mode. They also all do nothing if the 'key' parameter is NULL and
7510 for CFB and OFB modes they zero ctx->num.
7512 New functionality allows removal of S/MIME code RC2 hack.
7514 Most of the routines have the same form and so can be declared in terms
7517 By shifting this to the top level EVP_CipherInit() it can be removed from
7518 all individual ciphers. If the cipher wants to handle IVs or keys
7519 differently it can set the EVP_CIPH_CUSTOM_IV or EVP_CIPH_ALWAYS_CALL_INIT
7522 Change lots of functions like EVP_EncryptUpdate() to now return a
7523 value: although software versions of the algorithms cannot fail
7524 any installed hardware versions can.
7527 *) Implement SSL_OP_TLS_ROLLBACK_BUG: In ssl3_get_client_key_exchange, if
7528 this option is set, tolerate broken clients that send the negotiated
7529 protocol version number instead of the requested protocol version
7533 *) Call dh_tmp_cb (set by ..._TMP_DH_CB) with correct 'is_export' flag;
7534 i.e. non-zero for export ciphersuites, zero otherwise.
7535 Previous versions had this flag inverted, inconsistent with
7536 rsa_tmp_cb (..._TMP_RSA_CB).
7537 [Bodo Moeller; problem reported by Amit Chopra]
7539 *) Add missing DSA library text string. Work around for some IIS
7540 key files with invalid SEQUENCE encoding.
7543 *) Add a document (doc/standards.txt) that list all kinds of standards
7544 and so on that are implemented in OpenSSL.
7547 *) Enhance c_rehash script. Old version would mishandle certificates
7548 with the same subject name hash and wouldn't handle CRLs at all.
7549 Added -fingerprint option to crl utility, to support new c_rehash
7553 *) Eliminate non-ANSI declarations in crypto.h and stack.h.
7556 *) Fix for SSL server purpose checking. Server checking was
7557 rejecting certificates which had extended key usage present
7558 but no ssl client purpose.
7559 [Steve Henson, reported by Rene Grosser <grosser@hisolutions.com>]
7561 *) Make PKCS#12 code work with no password. The PKCS#12 spec
7562 is a little unclear about how a blank password is handled.
7563 Since the password in encoded as a BMPString with terminating
7564 double NULL a zero length password would end up as just the
7565 double NULL. However no password at all is different and is
7566 handled differently in the PKCS#12 key generation code. NS
7567 treats a blank password as zero length. MSIE treats it as no
7568 password on export: but it will try both on import. We now do
7569 the same: PKCS12_parse() tries zero length and no password if
7570 the password is set to "" or NULL (NULL is now a valid password:
7571 it wasn't before) as does the pkcs12 application.
7574 *) Bugfixes in apps/x509.c: Avoid a memory leak; and don't use
7575 perror when PEM_read_bio_X509_REQ fails, the error message must
7576 be obtained from the error queue.
7579 *) Avoid 'thread_hash' memory leak in crypto/err/err.c by freeing
7580 it in ERR_remove_state if appropriate, and change ERR_get_state
7581 accordingly to avoid race conditions (this is necessary because
7582 thread_hash is no longer constant once set).
7585 *) Bugfix for linux-elf makefile.one.
7588 *) RSA_get_default_method() will now cause a default
7589 RSA_METHOD to be chosen if one doesn't exist already.
7590 Previously this was only set during a call to RSA_new()
7591 or RSA_new_method(NULL) meaning it was possible for
7592 RSA_get_default_method() to return NULL.
7595 *) Added native name translation to the existing DSO code
7596 that will convert (if the flag to do so is set) filenames
7597 that are sufficiently small and have no path information
7598 into a canonical native form. Eg. "blah" converted to
7599 "libblah.so" or "blah.dll" etc.
7602 *) New function ERR_error_string_n(e, buf, len) which is like
7603 ERR_error_string(e, buf), but writes at most 'len' bytes
7604 including the 0 terminator. For ERR_error_string_n, 'buf'
7606 [Damien Miller <djm@mindrot.org>, Bodo Moeller]
7608 *) CONF library reworked to become more general. A new CONF
7609 configuration file reader "class" is implemented as well as a
7610 new functions (NCONF_*, for "New CONF") to handle it. The now
7611 old CONF_* functions are still there, but are reimplemented to
7612 work in terms of the new functions. Also, a set of functions
7613 to handle the internal storage of the configuration data is
7614 provided to make it easier to write new configuration file
7615 reader "classes" (I can definitely see something reading a
7616 configuration file in XML format, for example), called _CONF_*,
7617 or "the configuration storage API"...
7619 The new configuration file reading functions are:
7621 NCONF_new, NCONF_free, NCONF_load, NCONF_load_fp, NCONF_load_bio,
7622 NCONF_get_section, NCONF_get_string, NCONF_get_numbre
7624 NCONF_default, NCONF_WIN32
7626 NCONF_dump_fp, NCONF_dump_bio
7628 NCONF_default and NCONF_WIN32 are method (or "class") choosers,
7629 NCONF_new creates a new CONF object. This works in the same way
7630 as other interfaces in OpenSSL, like the BIO interface.
7631 NCONF_dump_* dump the internal storage of the configuration file,
7632 which is useful for debugging. All other functions take the same
7633 arguments as the old CONF_* functions wth the exception of the
7634 first that must be a `CONF *' instead of a `LHASH *'.
7636 To make it easer to use the new classes with the old CONF_* functions,
7637 the function CONF_set_default_method is provided.
7640 *) Add '-tls1' option to 'openssl ciphers', which was already
7641 mentioned in the documentation but had not been implemented.
7642 (This option is not yet really useful because even the additional
7643 experimental TLS 1.0 ciphers are currently treated as SSL 3.0 ciphers.)
7646 *) Initial DSO code added into libcrypto for letting OpenSSL (and
7647 OpenSSL-based applications) load shared libraries and bind to
7648 them in a portable way.
7649 [Geoff Thorpe, with contributions from Richard Levitte]
7651 Changes between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5a [1 Apr 2000]
7653 *) Make sure _lrotl and _lrotr are only used with MSVC.
7655 *) Use lock CRYPTO_LOCK_RAND correctly in ssleay_rand_status
7656 (the default implementation of RAND_status).
7658 *) Rename openssl x509 option '-crlext', which was added in 0.9.5,
7659 to '-clrext' (= clear extensions), as intended and documented.
7660 [Bodo Moeller; inconsistency pointed out by Michael Attili
7663 *) Fix for HMAC. It wasn't zeroing the rest of the block if the key length
7664 was larger than the MD block size.
7665 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Yost William <YostW@tce.com>]
7667 *) Modernise PKCS12_parse() so it uses STACK_OF(X509) for its ca argument
7668 fix a leak when the ca argument was passed as NULL. Stop X509_PUBKEY_set()
7669 using the passed key: if the passed key was a private key the result
7670 of X509_print(), for example, would be to print out all the private key
7674 *) des_quad_cksum() byte order bug fix.
7675 [Ulf Möller, using the problem description in krb4-0.9.7, where
7676 the solution is attributed to Derrick J Brashear <shadow@DEMENTIA.ORG>]
7678 *) Fix so V_ASN1_APP_CHOOSE works again: however its use is strongly
7680 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Brian Korver <briank@cs.stanford.edu>]
7682 *) For easily testing in shell scripts whether some command
7683 'openssl XXX' exists, the new pseudo-command 'openssl no-XXX'
7684 returns with exit code 0 iff no command of the given name is available.
7685 'no-XXX' is printed in this case, 'XXX' otherwise. In both cases,
7686 the output goes to stdout and nothing is printed to stderr.
7687 Additional arguments are always ignored.
7689 Since for each cipher there is a command of the same name,
7690 the 'no-cipher' compilation switches can be tested this way.
7692 ('openssl no-XXX' is not able to detect pseudo-commands such
7693 as 'quit', 'list-XXX-commands', or 'no-XXX' itself.)
7696 *) Update test suite so that 'make test' succeeds in 'no-rsa' configuration.
7699 *) For SSL_[CTX_]set_tmp_dh, don't create a DH key if SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE
7700 is set; it will be thrown away anyway because each handshake creates
7702 ssl_cert_dup, which is used by SSL_new, now copies DH keys in addition
7703 to parameters -- in previous versions (since OpenSSL 0.9.3) the
7704 'default key' from SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh would always be lost, meanining
7705 you effectivly got SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE when using this macro.
7708 *) New s_client option -ign_eof: EOF at stdin is ignored, and
7709 'Q' and 'R' lose their special meanings (quit/renegotiate).
7710 This is part of what -quiet does; unlike -quiet, -ign_eof
7711 does not suppress any output.
7714 *) Add compatibility options to the purpose and trust code. The
7715 purpose X509_PURPOSE_ANY is "any purpose" which automatically
7716 accepts a certificate or CA, this was the previous behaviour,
7717 with all the associated security issues.
7719 X509_TRUST_COMPAT is the old trust behaviour: only and
7720 automatically trust self signed roots in certificate store. A
7721 new trust setting X509_TRUST_DEFAULT is used to specify that
7722 a purpose has no associated trust setting and it should instead
7723 use the value in the default purpose.
7726 *) Fix the PKCS#8 DSA private key code so it decodes keys again
7727 and fix a memory leak.
7730 *) In util/mkerr.pl (which implements 'make errors'), preserve
7731 reason strings from the previous version of the .c file, as
7732 the default to have only downcase letters (and digits) in
7733 automatically generated reasons codes is not always appropriate.
7736 *) In ERR_load_ERR_strings(), build an ERR_LIB_SYS error reason table
7737 using strerror. Previously, ERR_reason_error_string() returned
7738 library names as reason strings for SYSerr; but SYSerr is a special
7739 case where small numbers are errno values, not library numbers.
7742 *) Add '-dsaparam' option to 'openssl dhparam' application. This
7743 converts DSA parameters into DH parameters. (When creating parameters,
7744 DSA_generate_parameters is used.)
7747 *) Include 'length' (recommended exponent length) in C code generated
7748 by 'openssl dhparam -C'.
7751 *) The second argument to set_label in perlasm was already being used
7752 so couldn't be used as a "file scope" flag. Moved to third argument
7756 *) In PEM_ASN1_write_bio and some other functions, use RAND_pseudo_bytes
7757 instead of RAND_bytes for encryption IVs and salts.
7760 *) Include RAND_status() into RAND_METHOD instead of implementing
7761 it only for md_rand.c Otherwise replacing the PRNG by calling
7762 RAND_set_rand_method would be impossible.
7765 *) Don't let DSA_generate_key() enter an infinite loop if the random
7766 number generation fails.
7769 *) New 'rand' application for creating pseudo-random output.
7772 *) Added configuration support for Linux/IA64
7773 [Rolf Haberrecker <rolf@suse.de>]
7775 *) Assembler module support for Mingw32.
7778 *) Shared library support for HPUX (in shlib/).
7779 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE> and Anonymous]
7781 *) Shared library support for Solaris gcc.
7782 [Lutz Behnke <behnke@trustcenter.de>]
7784 Changes between 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 [28 Feb 2000]
7786 *) PKCS7_encrypt() was adding text MIME headers twice because they
7787 were added manually and by SMIME_crlf_copy().
7790 *) In bntest.c don't call BN_rand with zero bits argument.
7791 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Andrew W. Gray <agray@iconsinc.com>]
7793 *) BN_mul bugfix: In bn_mul_part_recursion() only the a>a[n] && b>b[n]
7794 case was implemented. This caused BN_div_recp() to fail occasionally.
7797 *) Add an optional second argument to the set_label() in the perl
7798 assembly language builder. If this argument exists and is set
7799 to 1 it signals that the assembler should use a symbol whose
7800 scope is the entire file, not just the current function. This
7801 is needed with MASM which uses the format label:: for this scope.
7802 [Steve Henson, pointed out by Peter Runestig <peter@runestig.com>]
7804 *) Change the ASN1 types so they are typedefs by default. Before
7805 almost all types were #define'd to ASN1_STRING which was causing
7806 STACK_OF() problems: you couldn't declare STACK_OF(ASN1_UTF8STRING)
7810 *) Change names of new functions to the new get1/get0 naming
7811 convention: After 'get1', the caller owns a reference count
7812 and has to call ..._free; 'get0' returns a pointer to some
7813 data structure without incrementing reference counters.
7814 (Some of the existing 'get' functions increment a reference
7815 counter, some don't.)
7816 Similarly, 'set1' and 'add1' functions increase reference
7817 counters or duplicate objects.
7820 *) Allow for the possibility of temp RSA key generation failure:
7821 the code used to assume it always worked and crashed on failure.
7824 *) Fix potential buffer overrun problem in BIO_printf().
7825 [Ulf Möller, using public domain code by Patrick Powell; problem
7826 pointed out by David Sacerdote <das33@cornell.edu>]
7828 *) Support EGD <http://www.lothar.com/tech/crypto/>. New functions
7829 RAND_egd() and RAND_status(). In the command line application,
7830 the EGD socket can be specified like a seed file using RANDFILE
7834 *) Allow the string CERTIFICATE to be tolerated in PKCS#7 structures.
7835 Some CAs (e.g. Verisign) distribute certificates in this form.
7838 *) Remove the SSL_ALLOW_ADH compile option and set the default cipher
7839 list to exclude them. This means that no special compilation option
7840 is needed to use anonymous DH: it just needs to be included in the
7844 *) Change the EVP_MD_CTX_type macro so its meaning consistent with
7845 EVP_MD_type. The old functionality is available in a new macro called
7846 EVP_MD_md(). Change code that uses it and update docs.
7849 *) ..._ctrl functions now have corresponding ..._callback_ctrl functions
7850 where the 'void *' argument is replaced by a function pointer argument.
7851 Previously 'void *' was abused to point to functions, which works on
7852 many platforms, but is not correct. As these functions are usually
7853 called by macros defined in OpenSSL header files, most source code
7854 should work without changes.
7857 *) <openssl/opensslconf.h> (which is created by Configure) now contains
7858 sections with information on -D... compiler switches used for
7859 compiling the library so that applications can see them. To enable
7860 one of these sections, a pre-processor symbol OPENSSL_..._DEFINES
7861 must be defined. E.g.,
7862 #define OPENSSL_ALGORITHM_DEFINES
7863 #include <openssl/opensslconf.h>
7864 defines all pertinent NO_<algo> symbols, such as NO_IDEA, NO_RSA, etc.
7865 [Richard Levitte, Ulf and Bodo Möller]
7867 *) Bugfix: Tolerate fragmentation and interleaving in the SSL 3/TLS
7871 *) Change the 'other' type in certificate aux info to a STACK_OF
7872 X509_ALGOR. Although not an AlgorithmIdentifier as such it has
7873 the required ASN1 format: arbitrary types determined by an OID.
7876 *) Add some PEM_write_X509_REQ_NEW() functions and a command line
7877 argument to 'req'. This is not because the function is newer or
7878 better than others it just uses the work 'NEW' in the certificate
7879 request header lines. Some software needs this.
7882 *) Reorganise password command line arguments: now passwords can be
7883 obtained from various sources. Delete the PEM_cb function and make
7884 it the default behaviour: i.e. if the callback is NULL and the
7885 usrdata argument is not NULL interpret it as a null terminated pass
7886 phrase. If usrdata and the callback are NULL then the pass phrase
7887 is prompted for as usual.
7890 *) Add support for the Compaq Atalla crypto accelerator. If it is installed,
7891 the support is automatically enabled. The resulting binaries will
7892 autodetect the card and use it if present.
7893 [Ben Laurie and Compaq Inc.]
7895 *) Work around for Netscape hang bug. This sends certificate request
7896 and server done in one record. Since this is perfectly legal in the
7897 SSL/TLS protocol it isn't a "bug" option and is on by default. See
7898 the bugs/SSLv3 entry for more info.
7901 *) HP-UX tune-up: new unified configs, HP C compiler bug workaround.
7904 *) Add -rand argument to smime and pkcs12 applications and read/write
7908 *) New 'passwd' tool for crypt(3) and apr1 password hashes.
7911 *) Add command line password options to the remaining applications.
7914 *) Bug fix for BN_div_recp() for numerators with an even number of
7918 *) More tests in bntest.c, and changed test_bn output.
7921 *) ./config recognizes MacOS X now.
7924 *) Bug fix for BN_div() when the first words of num and divsor are
7925 equal (it gave wrong results if (rem=(n1-q*d0)&BN_MASK2) < d0).
7928 *) Add support for various broken PKCS#8 formats, and command line
7929 options to produce them.
7932 *) New functions BN_CTX_start(), BN_CTX_get() and BT_CTX_end() to
7933 get temporary BIGNUMs from a BN_CTX.
7936 *) Correct return values in BN_mod_exp_mont() and BN_mod_exp2_mont()
7940 *) Change the SSLeay_add_all_*() functions to OpenSSL_add_all_*() and
7941 include a #define from the old name to the new. The original intent
7942 was that statically linked binaries could for example just call
7943 SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() to just add ciphers to the table and not
7944 link with digests. This never worked becayse SSLeay_add_all_digests()
7945 and SSLeay_add_all_ciphers() were in the same source file so calling
7946 one would link with the other. They are now in separate source files.
7949 *) Add a new -notext option to 'ca' and a -pubkey option to 'spkac'.
7952 *) Use a less unusual form of the Miller-Rabin primality test (it used
7953 a binary algorithm for exponentiation integrated into the Miller-Rabin
7954 loop, our standard modexp algorithms are faster).
7957 *) Support for the EBCDIC character set completed.
7958 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@Mch.SNI.De>]
7960 *) Source code cleanups: use const where appropriate, eliminate casts,
7961 use void * instead of char * in lhash.
7964 *) Bugfix: ssl3_send_server_key_exchange was not restartable
7965 (the state was not changed to SSL3_ST_SW_KEY_EXCH_B, and because of
7966 this the server could overwrite ephemeral keys that the client
7970 *) Turn DSA_is_prime into a macro that calls BN_is_prime,
7971 using 50 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test.
7973 DSA_generate_parameters now uses BN_is_prime_fasttest (with 50
7974 iterations of the Rabin-Miller test as required by the appendix
7975 to FIPS PUB 186[-1]) instead of DSA_is_prime.
7976 As BN_is_prime_fasttest includes trial division, DSA parameter
7977 generation becomes much faster.
7979 This implies a change for the callback functions in DSA_is_prime
7980 and DSA_generate_parameters: The callback function is called once
7981 for each positive witness in the Rabin-Miller test, not just
7982 occasionally in the inner loop; and the parameters to the
7983 callback function now provide an iteration count for the outer
7984 loop rather than for the current invocation of the inner loop.
7985 DSA_generate_parameters additionally can call the callback
7986 function with an 'iteration count' of -1, meaning that a
7987 candidate has passed the trial division test (when q is generated
7988 from an application-provided seed, trial division is skipped).
7991 *) New function BN_is_prime_fasttest that optionally does trial
7992 division before starting the Rabin-Miller test and has
7993 an additional BN_CTX * argument (whereas BN_is_prime always
7994 has to allocate at least one BN_CTX).
7995 'callback(1, -1, cb_arg)' is called when a number has passed the
7996 trial division stage.
7999 *) Fix for bug in CRL encoding. The validity dates weren't being handled
8003 *) New -pkcs12 option to CA.pl script to write out a PKCS#12 file.
8006 *) New function BN_pseudo_rand().
8009 *) Clean up BN_mod_mul_montgomery(): replace the broken (and unreadable)
8010 bignum version of BN_from_montgomery() with the working code from
8011 SSLeay 0.9.0 (the word based version is faster anyway), and clean up
8015 *) Avoid a race condition in s2_clnt.c (function get_server_hello) that
8016 made it impossible to use the same SSL_SESSION data structure in
8017 SSL2 clients in multiple threads.
8020 *) The return value of RAND_load_file() no longer counts bytes obtained
8021 by stat(). RAND_load_file(..., -1) is new and uses the complete file
8022 to seed the PRNG (previously an explicit byte count was required).
8023 [Ulf Möller, Bodo Möller]
8025 *) Clean up CRYPTO_EX_DATA functions, some of these didn't have prototypes
8026 used (char *) instead of (void *) and had casts all over the place.
8029 *) Make BN_generate_prime() return NULL on error if ret!=NULL.
8032 *) Retain source code compatibility for BN_prime_checks macro:
8033 BN_is_prime(..., BN_prime_checks, ...) now uses
8034 BN_prime_checks_for_size to determine the appropriate number of
8035 Rabin-Miller iterations.
8038 *) Diffie-Hellman uses "safe" primes: DH_check() return code renamed to
8039 DH_CHECK_P_NOT_SAFE_PRIME.
8040 (Check if this is true? OpenPGP calls them "strong".)
8043 *) Merge the functionality of "dh" and "gendh" programs into a new program
8044 "dhparam". The old programs are retained for now but will handle DH keys
8045 (instead of parameters) in future.
8048 *) Make the ciphers, s_server and s_client programs check the return values
8049 when a new cipher list is set.
8052 *) Enhance the SSL/TLS cipher mechanism to correctly handle the TLS 56bit
8053 ciphers. Before when the 56bit ciphers were enabled the sorting was
8056 The syntax for the cipher sorting has been extended to support sorting by
8057 cipher-strength (using the strength_bits hard coded in the tables).
8058 The new command is "@STRENGTH" (see also doc/apps/ciphers.pod).
8060 Fix a bug in the cipher-command parser: when supplying a cipher command
8061 string with an "undefined" symbol (neither command nor alphanumeric
8062 [A-Za-z0-9], ssl_set_cipher_list used to hang in an endless loop. Now
8063 an error is flagged.
8065 Due to the strength-sorting extension, the code of the
8066 ssl_create_cipher_list() function was completely rearranged. I hope that
8067 the readability was also increased :-)
8068 [Lutz Jaenicke <Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE>]
8070 *) Minor change to 'x509' utility. The -CAcreateserial option now uses 1
8071 for the first serial number and places 2 in the serial number file. This
8072 avoids problems when the root CA is created with serial number zero and
8073 the first user certificate has the same issuer name and serial number
8077 *) Fixes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities, change the 'req' program so it uses
8078 the new code. Add documentation for this stuff.
8081 *) Changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE utilities. These have been renamed from
8082 X509_*() to X509at_*() on the grounds that they don't handle X509
8083 structures and behave in an analagous way to the X509v3 functions:
8084 they shouldn't be called directly but wrapper functions should be used
8087 So we also now have some wrapper functions that call the X509at functions
8088 when passed certificate requests. (TO DO: similar things can be done with
8089 PKCS#7 signed and unsigned attributes, PKCS#12 attributes and a few other
8090 things. Some of these need some d2i or i2d and print functionality
8091 because they handle more complex structures.)
8094 *) Add missing #ifndefs that caused missing symbols when building libssl
8095 as a shared library without RSA. Use #ifndef NO_SSL2 instead of
8096 NO_RSA in ssl/s2*.c.
8097 [Kris Kennaway <kris@hub.freebsd.org>, modified by Ulf Möller]
8099 *) Precautions against using the PRNG uninitialized: RAND_bytes() now
8100 has a return value which indicates the quality of the random data
8101 (1 = ok, 0 = not seeded). Also an error is recorded on the thread's
8102 error queue. New function RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates output that is
8103 guaranteed to be unique but not unpredictable. RAND_add is like
8104 RAND_seed, but takes an extra argument for an entropy estimate
8105 (RAND_seed always assumes full entropy).
8108 *) Do more iterations of Rabin-Miller probable prime test (specifically,
8109 3 for 1024-bit primes, 6 for 512-bit primes, 12 for 256-bit primes
8110 instead of only 2 for all lengths; see BN_prime_checks_for_size definition
8111 in crypto/bn/bn_prime.c for the complete table). This guarantees a
8112 false-positive rate of at most 2^-80 for random input.
8115 *) Rewrite ssl3_read_n (ssl/s3_pkt.c) avoiding a couple of bugs.
8118 *) New function X509_CTX_rget_chain() (renamed to X509_CTX_get1_chain
8119 in the 0.9.5 release), this returns the chain
8120 from an X509_CTX structure with a dup of the stack and all
8121 the X509 reference counts upped: so the stack will exist
8122 after X509_CTX_cleanup() has been called. Modify pkcs12.c
8125 Also make SSL_SESSION_print() print out the verify return
8129 *) Add manpage for the pkcs12 command. Also change the default
8130 behaviour so MAC iteration counts are used unless the new
8131 -nomaciter option is used. This improves file security and
8132 only older versions of MSIE (4.0 for example) need it.
8135 *) Honor the no-xxx Configure options when creating .DEF files.
8138 *) Add PKCS#10 attributes to field table: challengePassword,
8139 unstructuredName and unstructuredAddress. These are taken from
8140 draft PKCS#9 v2.0 but are compatible with v1.2 provided no
8141 international characters are used.
8143 More changes to X509_ATTRIBUTE code: allow the setting of types
8144 based on strings. Remove the 'loc' parameter when adding
8145 attributes because these will be a SET OF encoding which is sorted
8149 *) Initial changes to the 'req' utility to allow request generation
8150 automation. This will allow an application to just generate a template
8151 file containing all the field values and have req construct the
8154 Initial support for X509_ATTRIBUTE handling. Stacks of these are
8155 used all over the place including certificate requests and PKCS#7
8156 structures. They are currently handled manually where necessary with
8157 some primitive wrappers for PKCS#7. The new functions behave in a
8158 manner analogous to the X509 extension functions: they allow
8159 attributes to be looked up by NID and added.
8161 Later something similar to the X509V3 code would be desirable to
8162 automatically handle the encoding, decoding and printing of the
8163 more complex types. The string types like challengePassword can
8164 be handled by the string table functions.
8166 Also modified the multi byte string table handling. Now there is
8167 a 'global mask' which masks out certain types. The table itself
8168 can use the flag STABLE_NO_MASK to ignore the mask setting: this
8169 is useful when for example there is only one permissible type
8170 (as in countryName) and using the mask might result in no valid
8174 *) Clean up 'Finished' handling, and add functions SSL_get_finished and
8175 SSL_get_peer_finished to allow applications to obtain the latest
8176 Finished messages sent to the peer or expected from the peer,
8177 respectively. (SSL_get_peer_finished is usually the Finished message
8178 actually received from the peer, otherwise the protocol will be aborted.)
8180 As the Finished message are message digests of the complete handshake
8181 (with a total of 192 bits for TLS 1.0 and more for SSL 3.0), they can
8182 be used for external authentication procedures when the authentication
8183 provided by SSL/TLS is not desired or is not enough.
8186 *) Enhanced support for Alpha Linux is added. Now ./config checks if
8187 the host supports BWX extension and if Compaq C is present on the
8188 $PATH. Just exploiting of the BWX extension results in 20-30%
8189 performance kick for some algorithms, e.g. DES and RC4 to mention
8190 a couple. Compaq C in turn generates ~20% faster code for MD5 and
8194 *) Add support for MS "fast SGC". This is arguably a violation of the
8195 SSL3/TLS protocol. Netscape SGC does two handshakes: the first with
8196 weak crypto and after checking the certificate is SGC a second one
8197 with strong crypto. MS SGC stops the first handshake after receiving
8198 the server certificate message and sends a second client hello. Since
8199 a server will typically do all the time consuming operations before
8200 expecting any further messages from the client (server key exchange
8201 is the most expensive) there is little difference between the two.
8203 To get OpenSSL to support MS SGC we have to permit a second client
8204 hello message after we have sent server done. In addition we have to
8205 reset the MAC if we do get this second client hello.
8208 *) Add a function 'd2i_AutoPrivateKey()' this will automatically decide
8209 if a DER encoded private key is RSA or DSA traditional format. Changed
8210 d2i_PrivateKey_bio() to use it. This is only needed for the "traditional"
8211 format DER encoded private key. Newer code should use PKCS#8 format which
8212 has the key type encoded in the ASN1 structure. Added DER private key
8213 support to pkcs8 application.
8216 *) SSL 3/TLS 1 servers now don't request certificates when an anonymous
8217 ciphersuites has been selected (as required by the SSL 3/TLS 1
8218 specifications). Exception: When SSL_VERIFY_FAIL_IF_NO_PEER_CERT
8219 is set, we interpret this as a request to violate the specification
8220 (the worst that can happen is a handshake failure, and 'correct'
8221 behaviour would result in a handshake failure anyway).
8224 *) In SSL_CTX_add_session, take into account that there might be multiple
8225 SSL_SESSION structures with the same session ID (e.g. when two threads
8226 concurrently obtain them from an external cache).
8227 The internal cache can handle only one SSL_SESSION with a given ID,
8228 so if there's a conflict, we now throw out the old one to achieve
8232 *) Add OIDs for idea and blowfish in CBC mode. This will allow both
8233 to be used in PKCS#5 v2.0 and S/MIME. Also add checking to
8234 some routines that use cipher OIDs: some ciphers do not have OIDs
8235 defined and so they cannot be used for S/MIME and PKCS#5 v2.0 for
8239 *) Simplify the trust setting structure and code. Now we just have
8240 two sequences of OIDs for trusted and rejected settings. These will
8241 typically have values the same as the extended key usage extension
8242 and any application specific purposes.
8244 The trust checking code now has a default behaviour: it will just
8245 check for an object with the same NID as the passed id. Functions can
8246 be provided to override either the default behaviour or the behaviour
8247 for a given id. SSL client, server and email already have functions
8248 in place for compatibility: they check the NID and also return "trusted"
8249 if the certificate is self signed.
8252 *) Add d2i,i2d bio/fp functions for PrivateKey: these convert the
8253 traditional format into an EVP_PKEY structure.
8256 *) Add a password callback function PEM_cb() which either prompts for
8257 a password if usr_data is NULL or otherwise assumes it is a null
8258 terminated password. Allow passwords to be passed on command line
8259 environment or config files in a few more utilities.
8262 *) Add a bunch of DER and PEM functions to handle PKCS#8 format private
8263 keys. Add some short names for PKCS#8 PBE algorithms and allow them
8264 to be specified on the command line for the pkcs8 and pkcs12 utilities.
8265 Update documentation.
8268 *) Support for ASN1 "NULL" type. This could be handled before by using
8269 ASN1_TYPE but there wasn't any function that would try to read a NULL
8270 and produce an error if it couldn't. For compatibility we also have
8271 ASN1_NULL_new() and ASN1_NULL_free() functions but these are faked and
8272 don't allocate anything because they don't need to.
8275 *) Initial support for MacOS is now provided. Examine INSTALL.MacOS
8277 [Andy Polyakov, Roy Woods <roy@centicsystems.ca>]
8279 *) Rebuild of the memory allocation routines used by OpenSSL code and
8280 possibly others as well. The purpose is to make an interface that
8281 provide hooks so anyone can build a separate set of allocation and
8282 deallocation routines to be used by OpenSSL, for example memory
8283 pool implementations, or something else, which was previously hard
8284 since Malloc(), Realloc() and Free() were defined as macros having
8285 the values malloc, realloc and free, respectively (except for Win32
8286 compilations). The same is provided for memory debugging code.
8287 OpenSSL already comes with functionality to find memory leaks, but
8288 this gives people a chance to debug other memory problems.
8290 With these changes, a new set of functions and macros have appeared:
8292 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8293 CRYPTO_get_mem_debug_functions() [F]
8294 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options() [F]
8295 CRYPTO_dbg_get_options() [F]
8296 CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() [M]
8298 The memory debug functions are NULL by default, unless the library
8299 is compiled with CRYPTO_MDEBUG or friends is defined. If someone
8300 wants to debug memory anyway, CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init() (which
8301 gives the standard debugging functions that come with OpenSSL) or
8302 CRYPTO_set_mem_debug_functions() (tells OpenSSL to use functions
8303 provided by the library user) must be used. When the standard
8304 debugging functions are used, CRYPTO_dbg_set_options can be used to
8305 request additional information:
8306 CRYPTO_dbg_set_options(V_CYRPTO_MDEBUG_xxx) corresponds to setting
8307 the CRYPTO_MDEBUG_xxx macro when compiling the library.
8309 Also, things like CRYPTO_set_mem_functions will always give the
8310 expected result (the new set of functions is used for allocation
8311 and deallocation) at all times, regardless of platform and compiler
8314 To finish it up, some functions that were never use in any other
8315 way than through macros have a new API and new semantic:
8318 CRYPTO_dbg_realloc()
8321 All macros of value have retained their old syntax.
8322 [Richard Levitte and Bodo Moeller]
8324 *) Some S/MIME fixes. The OID for SMIMECapabilities was wrong, the
8325 ordering of SMIMECapabilities wasn't in "strength order" and there
8326 was a missing NULL in the AlgorithmIdentifier for the SHA1 signature
8330 *) Some ASN1 types with illegal zero length encoding (INTEGER,
8331 ENUMERATED and OBJECT IDENTIFIER) choked the ASN1 routines.
8332 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>, modified by Steve Henson]
8334 *) Merge in my S/MIME library for OpenSSL. This provides a simple
8335 S/MIME API on top of the PKCS#7 code, a MIME parser (with enough
8336 functionality to handle multipart/signed properly) and a utility
8337 called 'smime' to call all this stuff. This is based on code I
8338 originally wrote for Celo who have kindly allowed it to be
8339 included in OpenSSL.
8342 *) Add variants des_set_key_checked and des_set_key_unchecked of
8343 des_set_key (aka des_key_sched). Global variable des_check_key
8344 decides which of these is called by des_set_key; this way
8345 des_check_key behaves as it always did, but applications and
8346 the library itself, which was buggy for des_check_key == 1,
8347 have a cleaner way to pick the version they need.
8350 *) New function PKCS12_newpass() which changes the password of a
8354 *) Modify X509_TRUST and X509_PURPOSE so it also uses a static and
8355 dynamic mix. In both cases the ids can be used as an index into the
8356 table. Also modified the X509_TRUST_add() and X509_PURPOSE_add()
8357 functions so they accept a list of the field values and the
8358 application doesn't need to directly manipulate the X509_TRUST
8362 *) Modify the ASN1_STRING_TABLE stuff so it also uses bsearch and doesn't
8366 *) Modify the way the V3 extension code looks up extensions. This now
8367 works in a similar way to the object code: we have some "standard"
8368 extensions in a static table which is searched with OBJ_bsearch()
8369 and the application can add dynamic ones if needed. The file
8370 crypto/x509v3/ext_dat.h now has the info: this file needs to be
8371 updated whenever a new extension is added to the core code and kept
8372 in ext_nid order. There is a simple program 'tabtest.c' which checks
8373 this. New extensions are not added too often so this file can readily
8374 be maintained manually.
8376 There are two big advantages in doing things this way. The extensions
8377 can be looked up immediately and no longer need to be "added" using
8378 X509V3_add_standard_extensions(): this function now does nothing.
8379 [Side note: I get *lots* of email saying the extension code doesn't
8380 work because people forget to call this function]
8381 Also no dynamic allocation is done unless new extensions are added:
8382 so if we don't add custom extensions there is no need to call
8383 X509V3_EXT_cleanup().
8386 *) Modify enc utility's salting as follows: make salting the default. Add a
8387 magic header, so unsalted files fail gracefully instead of just decrypting
8388 to garbage. This is because not salting is a big security hole, so people
8389 should be discouraged from doing it.
8392 *) Fixes and enhancements to the 'x509' utility. It allowed a message
8393 digest to be passed on the command line but it only used this
8394 parameter when signing a certificate. Modified so all relevant
8395 operations are affected by the digest parameter including the
8396 -fingerprint and -x509toreq options. Also -x509toreq choked if a
8397 DSA key was used because it didn't fix the digest.
8400 *) Initial certificate chain verify code. Currently tests the untrusted
8401 certificates for consistency with the verify purpose (which is set
8402 when the X509_STORE_CTX structure is set up) and checks the pathlength.
8404 There is a NO_CHAIN_VERIFY compilation option to keep the old behaviour:
8405 this is because it will reject chains with invalid extensions whereas
8406 every previous version of OpenSSL and SSLeay made no checks at all.
8408 Trust code: checks the root CA for the relevant trust settings. Trust
8409 settings have an initial value consistent with the verify purpose: e.g.
8410 if the verify purpose is for SSL client use it expects the CA to be
8411 trusted for SSL client use. However the default value can be changed to
8412 permit custom trust settings: one example of this would be to only trust
8413 certificates from a specific "secure" set of CAs.
8415 Also added X509_STORE_CTX_new() and X509_STORE_CTX_free() functions
8416 which should be used for version portability: especially since the
8417 verify structure is likely to change more often now.
8419 SSL integration. Add purpose and trust to SSL_CTX and SSL and functions
8420 to set them. If not set then assume SSL clients will verify SSL servers
8423 Two new options to the verify program: -untrusted allows a set of
8424 untrusted certificates to be passed in and -purpose which sets the
8425 intended purpose of the certificate. If a purpose is set then the
8426 new chain verify code is used to check extension consistency.
8429 *) Support for the authority information access extension.
8432 *) Modify RSA and DSA PEM read routines to transparently handle
8433 PKCS#8 format private keys. New *_PUBKEY_* functions that handle
8434 public keys in a format compatible with certificate
8435 SubjectPublicKeyInfo structures. Unfortunately there were already
8436 functions called *_PublicKey_* which used various odd formats so
8437 these are retained for compatibility: however the DSA variants were
8438 never in a public release so they have been deleted. Changed dsa/rsa
8439 utilities to handle the new format: note no releases ever handled public
8440 keys so we should be OK.
8442 The primary motivation for this change is to avoid the same fiasco
8443 that dogs private keys: there are several incompatible private key
8444 formats some of which are standard and some OpenSSL specific and
8445 require various evil hacks to allow partial transparent handling and
8446 even then it doesn't work with DER formats. Given the option anything
8447 other than PKCS#8 should be dumped: but the other formats have to
8448 stay in the name of compatibility.
8450 With public keys and the benefit of hindsight one standard format
8451 is used which works with EVP_PKEY, RSA or DSA structures: though
8452 it clearly returns an error if you try to read the wrong kind of key.
8454 Added a -pubkey option to the 'x509' utility to output the public key.
8455 Also rename the EVP_PKEY_get_*() to EVP_PKEY_rget_*()
8456 (renamed to EVP_PKEY_get1_*() in the OpenSSL 0.9.5 release) and add
8457 EVP_PKEY_rset_*() functions (renamed to EVP_PKEY_set1_*())
8458 that do the same as the EVP_PKEY_assign_*() except they up the
8459 reference count of the added key (they don't "swallow" the
8463 *) Fixes to crypto/x509/by_file.c the code to read in certificates and
8464 CRLs would fail if the file contained no certificates or no CRLs:
8465 added a new function to read in both types and return the number
8466 read: this means that if none are read it will be an error. The
8467 DER versions of the certificate and CRL reader would always fail
8468 because it isn't possible to mix certificates and CRLs in DER format
8469 without choking one or the other routine. Changed this to just read
8470 a certificate: this is the best we can do. Also modified the code
8471 in apps/verify.c to take notice of return codes: it was previously
8472 attempting to read in certificates from NULL pointers and ignoring
8473 any errors: this is one reason why the cert and CRL reader seemed
8474 to work. It doesn't check return codes from the default certificate
8475 routines: these may well fail if the certificates aren't installed.
8478 *) Code to support otherName option in GeneralName.
8481 *) First update to verify code. Change the verify utility
8482 so it warns if it is passed a self signed certificate:
8483 for consistency with the normal behaviour. X509_verify
8484 has been modified to it will now verify a self signed
8485 certificate if *exactly* the same certificate appears
8486 in the store: it was previously impossible to trust a
8487 single self signed certificate. This means that:
8488 openssl verify ss.pem
8489 now gives a warning about a self signed certificate but
8490 openssl verify -CAfile ss.pem ss.pem
8494 *) For servers, store verify_result in SSL_SESSION data structure
8495 (and add it to external session representation).
8496 This is needed when client certificate verifications fails,
8497 but an application-provided verification callback (set by
8498 SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback) allows accepting the session
8499 anyway (i.e. leaves x509_store_ctx->error != X509_V_OK
8500 but returns 1): When the session is reused, we have to set
8501 ssl->verify_result to the appropriate error code to avoid
8503 [Bodo Moeller, problem pointed out by Lutz Jaenicke]
8505 *) Fix a bug in the new PKCS#7 code: it didn't consider the
8506 case in PKCS7_dataInit() where the signed PKCS7 structure
8507 didn't contain any existing data because it was being created.
8508 [Po-Cheng Chen <pocheng@nst.com.tw>, slightly modified by Steve Henson]
8510 *) Add a salt to the key derivation routines in enc.c. This
8511 forms the first 8 bytes of the encrypted file. Also add a
8512 -S option to allow a salt to be input on the command line.
8515 *) New function X509_cmp(). Oddly enough there wasn't a function
8516 to compare two certificates. We do this by working out the SHA1
8517 hash and comparing that. X509_cmp() will be needed by the trust
8521 *) SSL_get1_session() is like SSL_get_session(), but increments
8522 the reference count in the SSL_SESSION returned.
8523 [Geoff Thorpe <geoff@eu.c2.net>]
8525 *) Fix for 'req': it was adding a null to request attributes.
8526 Also change the X509_LOOKUP and X509_INFO code to handle
8527 certificate auxiliary information.
8530 *) Add support for 40 and 64 bit RC2 and RC4 algorithms: document
8534 *) Add the possibility to add extra information to the memory leak
8535 detecting output, to form tracebacks, showing from where each
8536 allocation was originated: CRYPTO_push_info("constant string") adds
8537 the string plus current file name and line number to a per-thread
8538 stack, CRYPTO_pop_info() does the obvious, CRYPTO_remove_all_info()
8539 is like calling CYRPTO_pop_info() until the stack is empty.
8540 Also updated memory leak detection code to be multi-thread-safe.
8543 *) Add options -text and -noout to pkcs7 utility and delete the
8544 encryption options which never did anything. Update docs.
8547 *) Add options to some of the utilities to allow the pass phrase
8548 to be included on either the command line (not recommended on
8549 OSes like Unix) or read from the environment. Update the
8550 manpages and fix a few bugs.
8553 *) Add a few manpages for some of the openssl commands.
8556 *) Fix the -revoke option in ca. It was freeing up memory twice,
8557 leaking and not finding already revoked certificates.
8560 *) Extensive changes to support certificate auxiliary information.
8561 This involves the use of X509_CERT_AUX structure and X509_AUX
8562 functions. An X509_AUX function such as PEM_read_X509_AUX()
8563 can still read in a certificate file in the usual way but it
8564 will also read in any additional "auxiliary information". By
8565 doing things this way a fair degree of compatibility can be
8566 retained: existing certificates can have this information added
8567 using the new 'x509' options.
8569 Current auxiliary information includes an "alias" and some trust
8570 settings. The trust settings will ultimately be used in enhanced
8571 certificate chain verification routines: currently a certificate
8572 can only be trusted if it is self signed and then it is trusted
8576 *) Fix assembler for Alpha (tested only on DEC OSF not Linux or *BSD).
8577 The problem was that one of the replacement routines had not been working
8578 since SSLeay releases. For now the offending routine has been replaced
8579 with non-optimised assembler. Even so, this now gives around 95%
8580 performance improvement for 1024 bit RSA signs.
8583 *) Hack to fix PKCS#7 decryption when used with some unorthodox RC2
8584 handling. Most clients have the effective key size in bits equal to
8585 the key length in bits: so a 40 bit RC2 key uses a 40 bit (5 byte) key.
8586 A few however don't do this and instead use the size of the decrypted key
8587 to determine the RC2 key length and the AlgorithmIdentifier to determine
8588 the effective key length. In this case the effective key length can still
8589 be 40 bits but the key length can be 168 bits for example. This is fixed
8590 by manually forcing an RC2 key into the EVP_PKEY structure because the
8591 EVP code can't currently handle unusual RC2 key sizes: it always assumes
8592 the key length and effective key length are equal.
8595 *) Add a bunch of functions that should simplify the creation of
8596 X509_NAME structures. Now you should be able to do:
8597 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, "CN", MBSTRING_ASC, "Steve", -1, -1, 0);
8598 and have it automatically work out the correct field type and fill in
8599 the structures. The more adventurous can try:
8600 X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(nm, field, MBSTRING_UTF8, str, -1, -1, 0);
8601 and it will (hopefully) work out the correct multibyte encoding.
8604 *) Change the 'req' utility to use the new field handling and multibyte
8605 copy routines. Before the DN field creation was handled in an ad hoc
8606 way in req, ca, and x509 which was rather broken and didn't support
8607 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings. Since some software doesn't implement
8608 BMPStrings or UTF8Strings yet, they can be enabled using the config file
8609 using the dirstring_type option. See the new comment in the default
8610 openssl.cnf for more info.
8613 *) Make crypto/rand/md_rand.c more robust:
8614 - Assure unique random numbers after fork().
8615 - Make sure that concurrent threads access the global counter and
8616 md serializably so that we never lose entropy in them
8617 or use exactly the same state in multiple threads.
8618 Access to the large state is not always serializable because
8619 the additional locking could be a performance killer, and
8620 md should be large enough anyway.
8623 *) New file apps/app_rand.c with commonly needed functionality
8624 for handling the random seed file.
8626 Use the random seed file in some applications that previously did not:
8628 dsaparam -genkey (which also ignored its '-rand' option),
8631 x509 (when signing).
8632 Except on systems with /dev/urandom, it is crucial to have a random
8633 seed file at least for key creation, DSA signing, and for DH exchanges;
8634 for RSA signatures we could do without one.
8636 gendh and gendsa (unlike genrsa) used to read only the first byte
8637 of each file listed in the '-rand' option. The function as previously
8638 found in genrsa is now in app_rand.c and is used by all programs
8639 that support '-rand'.
8642 *) In RAND_write_file, use mode 0600 for creating files;
8643 don't just chmod when it may be too late.
8646 *) Report an error from X509_STORE_load_locations
8647 when X509_LOOKUP_load_file or X509_LOOKUP_add_dir failed.
8650 *) New function ASN1_mbstring_copy() this copies a string in either
8651 ASCII, Unicode, Universal (4 bytes per character) or UTF8 format
8652 into an ASN1_STRING type. A mask of permissible types is passed
8653 and it chooses the "minimal" type to use or an error if not type
8657 *) Add function equivalents to the various macros in asn1.h. The old
8658 macros are retained with an M_ prefix. Code inside the library can
8659 use the M_ macros. External code (including the openssl utility)
8660 should *NOT* in order to be "shared library friendly".
8663 *) Add various functions that can check a certificate's extensions
8664 to see if it usable for various purposes such as SSL client,
8665 server or S/MIME and CAs of these types. This is currently
8666 VERY EXPERIMENTAL but will ultimately be used for certificate chain
8667 verification. Also added a -purpose flag to x509 utility to
8668 print out all the purposes.
8671 *) Add a CRYPTO_EX_DATA to X509 certificate structure and associated
8675 *) New X509V3_{X509,CRL,REVOKED}_get_d2i() functions. These will search
8676 for, obtain and decode and extension and obtain its critical flag.
8677 This allows all the necessary extension code to be handled in a
8678 single function call.
8681 *) RC4 tune-up featuring 30-40% performance improvement on most RISC
8682 platforms. See crypto/rc4/rc4_enc.c for further details.
8685 *) New -noout option to asn1parse. This causes no output to be produced
8686 its main use is when combined with -strparse and -out to extract data
8687 from a file (which may not be in ASN.1 format).
8690 *) Fix for pkcs12 program. It was hashing an invalid certificate pointer
8691 when producing the local key id.
8692 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
8694 *) New option -dhparam in s_server. This allows a DH parameter file to be
8695 stated explicitly. If it is not stated then it tries the first server
8696 certificate file. The previous behaviour hard coded the filename
8700 *) Add -pubin and -pubout options to the rsa and dsa commands. These allow
8701 a public key to be input or output. For example:
8702 openssl rsa -in key.pem -pubout -out pubkey.pem
8703 Also added necessary DSA public key functions to handle this.
8706 *) Fix so PKCS7_dataVerify() doesn't crash if no certificates are contained
8707 in the message. This was handled by allowing
8708 X509_find_by_issuer_and_serial() to tolerate a NULL passed to it.
8709 [Steve Henson, reported by Sampo Kellomaki <sampo@mail.neuronio.pt>]
8711 *) Fix for bug in d2i_ASN1_bytes(): other ASN1 functions add an extra null
8712 to the end of the strings whereas this didn't. This would cause problems
8713 if strings read with d2i_ASN1_bytes() were later modified.
8714 [Steve Henson, reported by Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
8716 *) Fix for base64 decode bug. When a base64 bio reads only one line of
8717 data and it contains EOF it will end up returning an error. This is
8718 caused by input 46 bytes long. The cause is due to the way base64
8719 BIOs find the start of base64 encoded data. They do this by trying a
8720 trial decode on each line until they find one that works. When they
8721 do a flag is set and it starts again knowing it can pass all the
8722 data directly through the decoder. Unfortunately it doesn't reset
8723 the context it uses. This means that if EOF is reached an attempt
8724 is made to pass two EOFs through the context and this causes the
8725 resulting error. This can also cause other problems as well. As is
8726 usual with these problems it takes *ages* to find and the fix is
8727 trivial: move one line.
8728 [Steve Henson, reported by ian@uns.ns.ac.yu (Ivan Nejgebauer) ]
8730 *) Ugly workaround to get s_client and s_server working under Windows. The
8731 old code wouldn't work because it needed to select() on sockets and the
8732 tty (for keypresses and to see if data could be written). Win32 only
8733 supports select() on sockets so we select() with a 1s timeout on the
8734 sockets and then see if any characters are waiting to be read, if none
8735 are present then we retry, we also assume we can always write data to
8736 the tty. This isn't nice because the code then blocks until we've
8737 received a complete line of data and it is effectively polling the
8738 keyboard at 1s intervals: however it's quite a bit better than not
8739 working at all :-) A dedicated Windows application might handle this
8740 with an event loop for example.
8743 *) Enhance RSA_METHOD structure. Now there are two extra methods, rsa_sign
8744 and rsa_verify. When the RSA_FLAGS_SIGN_VER option is set these functions
8745 will be called when RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() are used. This is useful
8746 if rsa_pub_dec() and rsa_priv_enc() equivalents are not available.
8747 For this to work properly RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt()
8748 should *not* be used: RSA_sign() and RSA_verify() must be used instead.
8749 This necessitated the support of an extra signature type NID_md5_sha1
8750 for SSL signatures and modifications to the SSL library to use it instead
8751 of calling RSA_public_decrypt() and RSA_private_encrypt().
8754 *) Add new -verify -CAfile and -CApath options to the crl program, these
8755 will lookup a CRL issuers certificate and verify the signature in a
8756 similar way to the verify program. Tidy up the crl program so it
8757 no longer accesses structures directly. Make the ASN1 CRL parsing a bit
8758 less strict. It will now permit CRL extensions even if it is not
8759 a V2 CRL: this will allow it to tolerate some broken CRLs.
8762 *) Initialize all non-automatic variables each time one of the openssl
8763 sub-programs is started (this is necessary as they may be started
8764 multiple times from the "OpenSSL>" prompt).
8765 [Lennart Bang, Bodo Moeller]
8767 *) Preliminary compilation option RSA_NULL which disables RSA crypto without
8768 removing all other RSA functionality (this is what NO_RSA does). This
8769 is so (for example) those in the US can disable those operations covered
8770 by the RSA patent while allowing storage and parsing of RSA keys and RSA
8774 *) Non-copying interface to BIO pairs.
8775 (still largely untested)
8778 *) New function ANS1_tag2str() to convert an ASN1 tag to a descriptive
8779 ASCII string. This was handled independently in various places before.
8782 *) New functions UTF8_getc() and UTF8_putc() that parse and generate
8783 UTF8 strings a character at a time.
8786 *) Use client_version from client hello to select the protocol
8787 (s23_srvr.c) and for RSA client key exchange verification
8788 (s3_srvr.c), as required by the SSL 3.0/TLS 1.0 specifications.
8791 *) Add various utility functions to handle SPKACs, these were previously
8792 handled by poking round in the structure internals. Added new function
8793 NETSCAPE_SPKI_print() to print out SPKAC and a new utility 'spkac' to
8794 print, verify and generate SPKACs. Based on an original idea from
8795 Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@comune.modena.it> but extensively modified.
8798 *) RIPEMD160 is operational on all platforms and is back in 'make test'.
8801 *) Allow the config file extension section to be overwritten on the
8802 command line. Based on an original idea from Massimiliano Pala
8803 <madwolf@comune.modena.it>. The new option is called -extensions
8804 and can be applied to ca, req and x509. Also -reqexts to override
8805 the request extensions in req and -crlexts to override the crl extensions
8809 *) Add new feature to the SPKAC handling in ca. Now you can include
8810 the same field multiple times by preceding it by "XXXX." for example:
8813 this is the same syntax as used in the req config file.
8816 *) Allow certificate extensions to be added to certificate requests. These
8817 are specified in a 'req_extensions' option of the req section of the
8818 config file. They can be printed out with the -text option to req but
8819 are otherwise ignored at present.
8822 *) Fix a horrible bug in enc_read() in crypto/evp/bio_enc.c: if the first
8823 data read consists of only the final block it would not decrypted because
8824 EVP_CipherUpdate() would correctly report zero bytes had been decrypted.
8825 A misplaced 'break' also meant the decrypted final block might not be
8826 copied until the next read.
8829 *) Initial support for DH_METHOD. Again based on RSA_METHOD. Also added
8830 a few extra parameters to the DH structure: these will be useful if
8831 for example we want the value of 'q' or implement X9.42 DH.
8834 *) Initial support for DSA_METHOD. This is based on the RSA_METHOD and
8835 provides hooks that allow the default DSA functions or functions on a
8836 "per key" basis to be replaced. This allows hardware acceleration and
8837 hardware key storage to be handled without major modification to the
8838 library. Also added low level modexp hooks and CRYPTO_EX structure and
8839 associated functions.
8842 *) Add a new flag to memory BIOs, BIO_FLAG_MEM_RDONLY. This marks the BIO
8843 as "read only": it can't be written to and the buffer it points to will
8844 not be freed. Reading from a read only BIO is much more efficient than
8845 a normal memory BIO. This was added because there are several times when
8846 an area of memory needs to be read from a BIO. The previous method was
8847 to create a memory BIO and write the data to it, this results in two
8848 copies of the data and an O(n^2) reading algorithm. There is a new
8849 function BIO_new_mem_buf() which creates a read only memory BIO from
8850 an area of memory. Also modified the PKCS#7 routines to use read only
8854 *) Bugfix: ssl23_get_client_hello did not work properly when called in
8855 state SSL23_ST_SR_CLNT_HELLO_B, i.e. when the first 7 bytes of
8856 a SSLv2-compatible client hello for SSLv3 or TLSv1 could be read,
8857 but a retry condition occured while trying to read the rest.
8860 *) The PKCS7_ENC_CONTENT_new() function was setting the content type as
8861 NID_pkcs7_encrypted by default: this was wrong since this should almost
8862 always be NID_pkcs7_data. Also modified the PKCS7_set_type() to handle
8863 the encrypted data type: this is a more sensible place to put it and it
8864 allows the PKCS#12 code to be tidied up that duplicated this
8868 *) Changed obj_dat.pl script so it takes its input and output files on
8869 the command line. This should avoid shell escape redirection problems
8873 *) Initial support for certificate extension requests, these are included
8874 in things like Xenroll certificate requests. Included functions to allow
8875 extensions to be obtained and added.
8878 *) -crlf option to s_client and s_server for sending newlines as
8879 CRLF (as required by many protocols).
8882 Changes between 0.9.3a and 0.9.4 [09 Aug 1999]
8884 *) Install libRSAglue.a when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
8885 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
8887 *) A few more ``#ifndef NO_FP_API / #endif'' pairs for consistency.
8888 [Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony2@bigfoot.com>]
8890 *) Fix -startdate and -enddate (which was missing) arguments to 'ca'
8894 *) New function DSA_dup_DH, which duplicates DSA parameters/keys as
8895 DH parameters/keys (q is lost during that conversion, but the resulting
8896 DH parameters contain its length).
8898 For 1024-bit p, DSA_generate_parameters followed by DSA_dup_DH is
8899 much faster than DH_generate_parameters (which creates parameters
8900 where p = 2*q + 1), and also the smaller q makes DH computations
8901 much more efficient (160-bit exponentiation instead of 1024-bit
8902 exponentiation); so this provides a convenient way to support DHE
8903 ciphersuites in SSL/TLS servers (see ssl/ssltest.c). It is of
8904 utter importance to use
8905 SSL_CTX_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8907 SSL_set_options(s_ctx, SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE);
8908 when such DH parameters are used, because otherwise small subgroup
8909 attacks may become possible!
8912 *) Avoid memory leak in i2d_DHparams.
8915 *) Allow the -k option to be used more than once in the enc program:
8916 this allows the same encrypted message to be read by multiple recipients.
8919 *) New function OBJ_obj2txt(buf, buf_len, a, no_name), this converts
8920 an ASN1_OBJECT to a text string. If the "no_name" parameter is set then
8921 it will always use the numerical form of the OID, even if it has a short
8925 *) Added an extra RSA flag: RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY. Previously the rsa_mod_exp
8926 method only got called if p,q,dmp1,dmq1,iqmp components were present,
8927 otherwise bn_mod_exp was called. In the case of hardware keys for example
8928 no private key components need be present and it might store extra data
8929 in the RSA structure, which cannot be accessed from bn_mod_exp.
8930 By setting RSA_FLAG_EXT_PKEY rsa_mod_exp will always be called for
8931 private key operations.
8934 *) Added support for SPARC Linux.
8937 *) pem_password_cb function type incompatibly changed from
8938 typedef int pem_password_cb(char *buf, int size, int rwflag);
8940 ....(char *buf, int size, int rwflag, void *userdata);
8941 so that applications can pass data to their callbacks:
8942 The PEM[_ASN1]_{read,write}... functions and macros now take an
8943 additional void * argument, which is just handed through whenever
8944 the password callback is called.
8945 [Damien Miller <dmiller@ilogic.com.au>; tiny changes by Bodo Moeller]
8947 New function SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata.
8949 Compatibility note: As many C implementations push function arguments
8950 onto the stack in reverse order, the new library version is likely to
8951 interoperate with programs that have been compiled with the old
8952 pem_password_cb definition (PEM_whatever takes some data that
8953 happens to be on the stack as its last argument, and the callback
8954 just ignores this garbage); but there is no guarantee whatsoever that
8957 *) The -DPLATFORM="\"$(PLATFORM)\"" definition and the similar -DCFLAGS=...
8958 (both in crypto/Makefile.ssl for use by crypto/cversion.c) caused
8959 problems not only on Windows, but also on some Unix platforms.
8960 To avoid problematic command lines, these definitions are now in an
8961 auto-generated file crypto/buildinf.h (created by crypto/Makefile.ssl
8962 for standard "make" builds, by util/mk1mf.pl for "mk1mf" builds).
8965 *) MIPS III/IV assembler module is reimplemented.
8968 *) More DES library cleanups: remove references to srand/rand and
8969 delete an unused file.
8972 *) Add support for the the free Netwide assembler (NASM) under Win32,
8973 since not many people have MASM (ml) and it can be hard to obtain.
8974 This is currently experimental but it seems to work OK and pass all
8975 the tests. Check out INSTALL.W32 for info.
8978 *) Fix memory leaks in s3_clnt.c: All non-anonymous SSL3/TLS1 connections
8979 without temporary keys kept an extra copy of the server key,
8980 and connections with temporary keys did not free everything in case
8984 *) New function RSA_check_key and new openssl rsa option -check
8985 for verifying the consistency of RSA keys.
8986 [Ulf Moeller, Bodo Moeller]
8988 *) Various changes to make Win32 compile work:
8989 1. Casts to avoid "loss of data" warnings in p5_crpt2.c
8990 2. Change unsigned int to int in b_dump.c to avoid "signed/unsigned
8991 comparison" warnings.
8992 3. Add sk_<TYPE>_sort to DEF file generator and do make update.
8995 *) Add a debugging option to PKCS#5 v2 key generation function: when
8996 you #define DEBUG_PKCS5V2 passwords, salts, iteration counts and
8997 derived keys are printed to stderr.
9000 *) Copy the flags in ASN1_STRING_dup().
9001 [Roman E. Pavlov <pre@mo.msk.ru>]
9003 *) The x509 application mishandled signing requests containing DSA
9004 keys when the signing key was also DSA and the parameters didn't match.
9006 It was supposed to omit the parameters when they matched the signing key:
9007 the verifying software was then supposed to automatically use the CA's
9008 parameters if they were absent from the end user certificate.
9010 Omitting parameters is no longer recommended. The test was also
9011 the wrong way round! This was probably due to unusual behaviour in
9012 EVP_cmp_parameters() which returns 1 if the parameters match.
9013 This meant that parameters were omitted when they *didn't* match and
9014 the certificate was useless. Certificates signed with 'ca' didn't have
9016 [Steve Henson, reported by Doug Erickson <Doug.Erickson@Part.NET>]
9018 *) Memory leak checking (-DCRYPTO_MDEBUG) had some problems.
9019 The interface is as follows:
9020 Applications can use
9021 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ON) aka MemCheck_start(),
9022 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_OFF) aka MemCheck_stop();
9023 "off" is now the default.
9024 The library internally uses
9025 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_DISABLE) aka MemCheck_off(),
9026 CRYPTO_mem_ctrl(CRYPTO_MEM_CHECK_ENABLE) aka MemCheck_on()
9027 to disable memory-checking temporarily.
9029 Some inconsistent states that previously were possible (and were
9030 even the default) are now avoided.
9032 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_TIME is new and additionally stores the current time
9033 with each memory chunk allocated; this is occasionally more helpful
9034 than just having a counter.
9036 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_THREAD is also new and adds the thread ID.
9038 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG_ALL enables all of the above, plus any future
9042 *) Introduce "mode" for SSL structures (with defaults in SSL_CTX),
9043 which largely parallels "options", but is for changing API behaviour,
9044 whereas "options" are about protocol behaviour.
9045 Initial "mode" flags are:
9047 SSL_MODE_ENABLE_PARTIAL_WRITE Allow SSL_write to report success when
9048 a single record has been written.
9049 SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER Don't insist that SSL_write
9050 retries use the same buffer location.
9051 (But all of the contents must be
9055 *) Bugfix: SSL_set_options ignored its parameter, only SSL_CTX_set_options
9058 *) Fix problems with no-hmac etc.
9059 [Ulf Möller, pointed out by Brian Wellington <bwelling@tislabs.com>]
9061 *) New functions RSA_get_default_method(), RSA_set_method() and
9062 RSA_get_method(). These allows replacement of RSA_METHODs without having
9063 to mess around with the internals of an RSA structure.
9066 *) Fix memory leaks in DSA_do_sign and DSA_is_prime.
9067 Also really enable memory leak checks in openssl.c and in some
9069 [Chad C. Mulligan, Bodo Moeller]
9071 *) Fix a bug in d2i_ASN1_INTEGER() and i2d_ASN1_INTEGER() which can mess
9072 up the length of negative integers. This has now been simplified to just
9073 store the length when it is first determined and use it later, rather
9074 than trying to keep track of where data is copied and updating it to
9076 [Steve Henson, reported by Brien Wheeler
9077 <bwheeler@authentica-security.com>]
9079 *) Add a new function PKCS7_signatureVerify. This allows the verification
9080 of a PKCS#7 signature but with the signing certificate passed to the
9081 function itself. This contrasts with PKCS7_dataVerify which assumes the
9082 certificate is present in the PKCS#7 structure. This isn't always the
9083 case: certificates can be omitted from a PKCS#7 structure and be
9084 distributed by "out of band" means (such as a certificate database).
9087 *) Complete the PEM_* macros with DECLARE_PEM versions to replace the
9088 function prototypes in pem.h, also change util/mkdef.pl to add the
9089 necessary function names.
9092 *) mk1mf.pl (used by Windows builds) did not properly read the
9093 options set by Configure in the top level Makefile, and Configure
9094 was not even able to write more than one option correctly.
9095 Fixed, now "no-idea no-rc5 -DCRYPTO_MDEBUG" etc. works as intended.
9098 *) New functions CONF_load_bio() and CONF_load_fp() to allow a config
9099 file to be loaded from a BIO or FILE pointer. The BIO version will
9100 for example allow memory BIOs to contain config info.
9103 *) New function "CRYPTO_num_locks" that returns CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS.
9104 Whoever hopes to achieve shared-library compatibility across versions
9105 must use this, not the compile-time macro.
9106 (Exercise 0.9.4: Which is the minimum library version required by
9108 Note: All this applies only to multi-threaded programs, others don't
9112 *) Add missing case to s3_clnt.c state machine -- one of the new SSL tests
9113 through a BIO pair triggered the default case, i.e.
9114 SSLerr(...,SSL_R_UNKNOWN_STATE).
9117 *) New "BIO pair" concept (crypto/bio/bss_bio.c) so that applications
9118 can use the SSL library even if none of the specific BIOs is
9122 *) Fix a bug in i2d_DSAPublicKey() which meant it returned the wrong value
9123 for the encoded length.
9124 [Jeon KyoungHo <khjeon@sds.samsung.co.kr>]
9126 *) Add initial documentation of the X509V3 functions.
9129 *) Add a new pair of functions PEM_write_PKCS8PrivateKey() and
9130 PEM_write_bio_PKCS8PrivateKey() that are equivalent to
9131 PEM_write_PrivateKey() and PEM_write_bio_PrivateKey() but use the more
9132 secure PKCS#8 private key format with a high iteration count.
9135 *) Fix determination of Perl interpreter: A perl or perl5
9136 _directory_ in $PATH was also accepted as the interpreter.
9137 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9139 *) Fix demos/sign/sign.c: well there wasn't anything strictly speaking
9140 wrong with it but it was very old and did things like calling
9141 PEM_ASN1_read() directly and used MD5 for the hash not to mention some
9145 *) Fix demos/selfsign.c: it used obsolete and deleted functions, changed
9146 to use the new extension code.
9149 *) Implement the PEM_read/PEM_write functions in crypto/pem/pem_all.c
9150 with macros. This should make it easier to change their form, add extra
9151 arguments etc. Fix a few PEM prototypes which didn't have cipher as a
9155 *) Add to configuration table a new entry that can specify an alternative
9156 name for unistd.h (for pre-POSIX systems); we need this for NeXTstep,
9157 according to Mark Crispin <MRC@Panda.COM>.
9161 *) DES CBC did not update the IV. Weird.
9164 des_cbc_encrypt does not update the IV, but des_ncbc_encrypt does.
9165 Changing the behaviour of the former might break existing programs --
9166 where IV updating is needed, des_ncbc_encrypt can be used.
9169 *) When bntest is run from "make test" it drives bc to check its
9170 calculations, as well as internally checking them. If an internal check
9171 fails, it needs to cause bc to give a non-zero result or make test carries
9172 on without noticing the failure. Fixed.
9175 *) DES library cleanups.
9178 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 PBE algorithms. This will permit PKCS#8 to be
9179 used with any cipher unlike PKCS#5 v1.5 which can at most handle 64 bit
9180 ciphers. NOTE: although the key derivation function has been verified
9181 against some published test vectors it has not been extensively tested
9182 yet. Added a -v2 "cipher" option to pkcs8 application to allow the use
9186 *) Instead of "mkdir -p", which is not fully portable, use new
9187 Perl script "util/mkdir-p.pl".
9190 *) Rewrite the way password based encryption (PBE) is handled. It used to
9191 assume that the ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier parameter was a PBEParameter
9192 structure. This was true for the PKCS#5 v1.5 and PKCS#12 PBE algorithms
9193 but doesn't apply to PKCS#5 v2.0 where it can be something else. Now
9194 the 'parameter' field of the AlgorithmIdentifier is passed to the
9195 underlying key generation function so it must do its own ASN1 parsing.
9196 This has also changed the EVP_PBE_CipherInit() function which now has a
9197 'parameter' argument instead of literal salt and iteration count values
9198 and the function EVP_PBE_ALGOR_CipherInit() has been deleted.
9201 *) Support for PKCS#5 v1.5 compatible password based encryption algorithms
9202 and PKCS#8 functionality. New 'pkcs8' application linked to openssl.
9203 Needed to change the PEM_STRING_EVP_PKEY value which was just "PRIVATE
9204 KEY" because this clashed with PKCS#8 unencrypted string. Since this
9205 value was just used as a "magic string" and not used directly its
9206 value doesn't matter.
9209 *) Introduce some semblance of const correctness to BN. Shame C doesn't
9213 *) "linux-sparc64" configuration (ultrapenguin).
9214 [Ray Miller <ray.miller@oucs.ox.ac.uk>]
9215 "linux-sparc" configuration.
9216 [Christian Forster <fo@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>]
9218 *) config now generates no-xxx options for missing ciphers.
9221 *) Support the EBCDIC character set (work in progress).
9222 File ebcdic.c not yet included because it has a different license.
9223 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9225 *) Support BS2000/OSD-POSIX.
9226 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>]
9228 *) Make callbacks for key generation use void * instead of char *.
9231 *) Make S/MIME samples compile (not yet tested).
9234 *) Additional typesafe stacks.
9237 *) New configuration variants "bsdi-elf-gcc" (BSD/OS 4.x).
9241 Changes between 0.9.3 and 0.9.3a [29 May 1999]
9243 *) New configuration variant "sco5-gcc".
9245 *) Updated some demos.
9246 [Sean O Riordain, Wade Scholine]
9248 *) Add missing BIO_free at exit of pkcs12 application.
9251 *) Fix memory leak in conf.c.
9254 *) Updates for Win32 to assembler version of MD5.
9257 *) Set #! path to perl in apps/der_chop to where we found it
9258 instead of using a fixed path.
9261 *) SHA library changes for irix64-mips4-cc.
9264 *) Improvements for VMS support.
9268 Changes between 0.9.2b and 0.9.3 [24 May 1999]
9270 *) Bignum library bug fix. IRIX 6 passes "make test" now!
9271 This also avoids the problems with SC4.2 and unpatched SC5.
9272 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9274 *) New functions sk_num, sk_value and sk_set to replace the previous macros.
9275 These are required because of the typesafe stack would otherwise break
9276 existing code. If old code used a structure member which used to be STACK
9277 and is now STACK_OF (for example cert in a PKCS7_SIGNED structure) with
9278 sk_num or sk_value it would produce an error because the num, data members
9279 are not present in STACK_OF. Now it just produces a warning. sk_set
9280 replaces the old method of assigning a value to sk_value
9281 (e.g. sk_value(x, i) = y) which the library used in a few cases. Any code
9282 that does this will no longer work (and should use sk_set instead) but
9283 this could be regarded as a "questionable" behaviour anyway.
9286 *) Fix most of the other PKCS#7 bugs. The "experimental" code can now
9287 correctly handle encrypted S/MIME data.
9290 *) Change type of various DES function arguments from des_cblock
9291 (which means, in function argument declarations, pointer to char)
9292 to des_cblock * (meaning pointer to array with 8 char elements),
9293 which allows the compiler to do more typechecking; it was like
9294 that back in SSLeay, but with lots of ugly casts.
9296 Introduce new type const_des_cblock.
9299 *) Reorganise the PKCS#7 library and get rid of some of the more obvious
9300 problems: find RecipientInfo structure that matches recipient certificate
9301 and initialise the ASN1 structures properly based on passed cipher.
9304 *) Belatedly make the BN tests actually check the results.
9307 *) Fix the encoding and decoding of negative ASN1 INTEGERS and conversion
9308 to and from BNs: it was completely broken. New compilation option
9309 NEG_PUBKEY_BUG to allow for some broken certificates that encode public
9310 key elements as negative integers.
9313 *) Reorganize and speed up MD5.
9314 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9317 [Richard Levitte <richard@levitte.org>]
9319 *) New option -out to asn1parse to allow the parsed structure to be
9320 output to a file. This is most useful when combined with the -strparse
9321 option to examine the output of things like OCTET STRINGS.
9324 *) Make SSL library a little more fool-proof by not requiring any longer
9325 that SSL_set_{accept,connect}_state be called before
9326 SSL_{accept,connect} may be used (SSL_set_..._state is omitted
9327 in many applications because usually everything *appeared* to work as
9328 intended anyway -- now it really works as intended).
9331 *) Move openssl.cnf out of lib/.
9334 *) Fix various things to let OpenSSL even pass ``egcc -pipe -O2 -Wall
9335 -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wmissing-prototypes
9336 -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Winline'' with EGCS 1.1.2+
9337 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9339 *) Various fixes to the EVP and PKCS#7 code. It may now be able to
9340 handle PKCS#7 enveloped data properly.
9341 [Sebastian Akerman <sak@parallelconsulting.com>, modified by Steve]
9343 *) Create a duplicate of the SSL_CTX's CERT in SSL_new instead of
9344 copying pointers. The cert_st handling is changed by this in
9345 various ways (and thus what used to be known as ctx->default_cert
9346 is now called ctx->cert, since we don't resort to s->ctx->[default_]cert
9347 any longer when s->cert does not give us what we need).
9348 ssl_cert_instantiate becomes obsolete by this change.
9349 As soon as we've got the new code right (possibly it already is?),
9350 we have solved a couple of bugs of the earlier code where s->cert
9351 was used as if it could not have been shared with other SSL structures.
9353 Note that using the SSL API in certain dirty ways now will result
9354 in different behaviour than observed with earlier library versions:
9355 Changing settings for an SSL_CTX *ctx after having done s = SSL_new(ctx)
9356 does not influence s as it used to.
9358 In order to clean up things more thoroughly, inside SSL_SESSION
9359 we don't use CERT any longer, but a new structure SESS_CERT
9360 that holds per-session data (if available); currently, this is
9361 the peer's certificate chain and, for clients, the server's certificate
9362 and temporary key. CERT holds only those values that can have
9363 meaningful defaults in an SSL_CTX.
9366 *) New function X509V3_EXT_i2d() to create an X509_EXTENSION structure
9367 from the internal representation. Various PKCS#7 fixes: remove some
9368 evil casts and set the enc_dig_alg field properly based on the signing
9372 *) Allow PKCS#12 password to be set from the command line or the
9373 environment. Let 'ca' get its config file name from the environment
9374 variables "OPENSSL_CONF" or "SSLEAY_CONF" (for consistency with 'req'
9378 *) Allow certificate policies extension to use an IA5STRING for the
9379 organization field. This is contrary to the PKIX definition but
9380 VeriSign uses it and IE5 only recognises this form. Document 'x509'
9384 *) Add PEDANTIC compiler flag to allow compilation with gcc -pedantic,
9385 without disallowing inline assembler and the like for non-pedantic builds.
9388 *) Support Borland C++ builder.
9389 [Janez Jere <jj@void.si>, modified by Ulf Möller]
9394 *) SHA-1 cleanups and performance enhancements.
9395 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9397 *) Sparc v8plus assembler for the bignum library.
9398 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9400 *) Accept any -xxx and +xxx compiler options in Configure.
9403 *) Update HPUX configuration.
9406 *) Add missing sk_<type>_unshift() function to safestack.h
9407 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9409 *) New function SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file that sets the
9410 "extra_cert"s in addition to the certificate. (This makes sense
9411 only for "PEM" format files, as chains as a whole are not
9415 *) Support verify_depth from the SSL API.
9416 x509_vfy.c had what can be considered an off-by-one-error:
9417 Its depth (which was not part of the external interface)
9418 was actually counting the number of certificates in a chain;
9419 now it really counts the depth.
9422 *) Bugfix in crypto/x509/x509_cmp.c: The SSLerr macro was used
9423 instead of X509err, which often resulted in confusing error
9424 messages since the error codes are not globally unique
9425 (e.g. an alleged error in ssl3_accept when a certificate
9426 didn't match the private key).
9428 *) New function SSL_CTX_set_session_id_context that allows to set a default
9429 value (so that you don't need SSL_set_session_id_context for each
9430 connection using the SSL_CTX).
9433 *) OAEP decoding bug fix.
9436 *) Support INSTALL_PREFIX for package builders, as proposed by
9440 *) New Configure options "threads" and "no-threads". For systems
9441 where the proper compiler options are known (currently Solaris
9442 and Linux), "threads" is the default.
9445 *) New script util/mklink.pl as a faster substitute for util/mklink.sh.
9448 *) Install various scripts to $(OPENSSLDIR)/misc, not to
9449 $(INSTALLTOP)/bin -- they shouldn't clutter directories
9450 such as /usr/local/bin.
9453 *) "make linux-shared" to build shared libraries.
9454 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9456 *) New Configure option no-<cipher> (rsa, idea, rc5, ...).
9459 *) Add the PKCS#12 API documentation to openssl.txt. Preliminary support for
9460 extension adding in x509 utility.
9463 *) Remove NOPROTO sections and error code comments.
9466 *) Partial rewrite of the DEF file generator to now parse the ANSI
9470 *) New Configure options --prefix=DIR and --openssldir=DIR.
9473 *) Complete rewrite of the error code script(s). It is all now handled
9474 by one script at the top level which handles error code gathering,
9475 header rewriting and C source file generation. It should be much better
9476 than the old method: it now uses a modified version of Ulf's parser to
9477 read the ANSI prototypes in all header files (thus the old K&R definitions
9478 aren't needed for error creation any more) and do a better job of
9479 translating function codes into names. The old 'ASN1 error code imbedded
9480 in a comment' is no longer necessary and it doesn't use .err files which
9481 have now been deleted. Also the error code call doesn't have to appear all
9482 on one line (which resulted in some large lines...).
9485 *) Change #include filenames from <foo.h> to <openssl/foo.h>.
9488 *) Change behaviour of ssl2_read when facing length-0 packets: Don't return
9489 0 (which usually indicates a closed connection), but continue reading.
9492 *) Fix some race conditions.
9495 *) Add support for CRL distribution points extension. Add Certificate
9496 Policies and CRL distribution points documentation.
9499 *) Move the autogenerated header file parts to crypto/opensslconf.h.
9502 *) Fix new 56-bit DES export ciphersuites: they were using 7 bytes instead of
9503 8 of keying material. Merlin has also confirmed interop with this fix
9504 between OpenSSL and Baltimore C/SSL 2.0 and J/SSL 2.0.
9505 [Merlin Hughes <merlin@baltimore.ie>]
9507 *) Fix lots of warnings.
9508 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9510 *) In add_cert_dir() in crypto/x509/by_dir.c, break out of the loop if
9511 the directory spec didn't end with a LIST_SEPARATOR_CHAR.
9512 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9514 *) Fix problems with sizeof(long) == 8.
9515 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9517 *) Change functions to ANSI C.
9520 *) Fix typos in error codes.
9521 [Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@MchP.Siemens.De>, Ulf Möller]
9523 *) Remove defunct assembler files from Configure.
9526 *) SPARC v8 assembler BIGNUM implementation.
9527 [Andy Polyakov <appro@fy.chalmers.se>]
9529 *) Support for Certificate Policies extension: both print and set.
9530 Various additions to support the r2i method this uses.
9533 *) A lot of constification, and fix a bug in X509_NAME_oneline() that could
9534 return a const string when you are expecting an allocated buffer.
9537 *) Add support for ASN1 types UTF8String and VISIBLESTRING, also the CHOICE
9538 types DirectoryString and DisplayText.
9541 *) Add code to allow r2i extensions to access the configuration database,
9542 add an LHASH database driver and add several ctx helper functions.
9545 *) Fix an evil bug in bn_expand2() which caused various BN functions to
9546 fail when they extended the size of a BIGNUM.
9549 *) Various utility functions to handle SXNet extension. Modify mkdef.pl to
9550 support typesafe stack.
9553 *) Fix typo in SSL_[gs]et_options().
9554 [Nils Frostberg <nils@medcom.se>]
9556 *) Delete various functions and files that belonged to the (now obsolete)
9557 old X509V3 handling code.
9560 *) New Configure option "rsaref".
9563 *) Don't auto-generate pem.h.
9566 *) Introduce type-safe ASN.1 SETs.
9569 *) Convert various additional casted stacks to type-safe STACK_OF() variants.
9570 [Ben Laurie, Ralf S. Engelschall, Steve Henson]
9572 *) Introduce type-safe STACKs. This will almost certainly break lots of code
9573 that links with OpenSSL (well at least cause lots of warnings), but fear
9574 not: the conversion is trivial, and it eliminates loads of evil casts. A
9575 few STACKed things have been converted already. Feel free to convert more.
9576 In the fullness of time, I'll do away with the STACK type altogether.
9579 *) Add `openssl ca -revoke <certfile>' facility which revokes a certificate
9580 specified in <certfile> by updating the entry in the index.txt file.
9581 This way one no longer has to edit the index.txt file manually for
9582 revoking a certificate. The -revoke option does the gory details now.
9583 [Massimiliano Pala <madwolf@openca.org>, Ralf S. Engelschall]
9585 *) Fix `openssl crl -noout -text' combination where `-noout' killed the
9586 `-text' option at all and this way the `-noout -text' combination was
9587 inconsistent in `openssl crl' with the friends in `openssl x509|rsa|dsa'.
9588 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9590 *) Make sure a corresponding plain text error message exists for the
9591 X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED/23 error number which can occur when a
9592 verify callback function determined that a certificate was revoked.
9593 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9595 *) Bugfix: In test/testenc, don't test "openssl <cipher>" for
9596 ciphers that were excluded, e.g. by -DNO_IDEA. Also, test
9597 all available cipers including rc5, which was forgotten until now.
9598 In order to let the testing shell script know which algorithms
9599 are available, a new (up to now undocumented) command
9600 "openssl list-cipher-commands" is used.
9603 *) Bugfix: s_client occasionally would sleep in select() when
9604 it should have checked SSL_pending() first.
9607 *) New functions DSA_do_sign and DSA_do_verify to provide access to
9608 the raw DSA values prior to ASN.1 encoding.
9611 *) Tweaks to Configure
9612 [Niels Poppe <niels@netbox.org>]
9614 *) Add support for PKCS#5 v2.0 ASN1 PBES2 structures. No other support,
9618 *) New variables $(RANLIB) and $(PERL) in the Makefiles.
9621 *) New config option to avoid instructions that are illegal on the 80386.
9622 The default code is faster, but requires at least a 486.
9625 *) Got rid of old SSL2_CLIENT_VERSION (inconsistently used) and
9626 SSL2_SERVER_VERSION (not used at all) macros, which are now the
9627 same as SSL2_VERSION anyway.
9630 *) New "-showcerts" option for s_client.
9633 *) Still more PKCS#12 integration. Add pkcs12 application to openssl
9634 application. Various cleanups and fixes.
9637 *) More PKCS#12 integration. Add new pkcs12 directory with Makefile.ssl and
9638 modify error routines to work internally. Add error codes and PBE init
9639 to library startup routines.
9642 *) Further PKCS#12 integration. Added password based encryption, PKCS#8 and
9643 packing functions to asn1 and evp. Changed function names and error
9644 codes along the way.
9647 *) PKCS12 integration: and so it begins... First of several patches to
9648 slowly integrate PKCS#12 functionality into OpenSSL. Add PKCS#12
9649 objects to objects.h
9652 *) Add a new 'indent' option to some X509V3 extension code. Initial ASN1
9653 and display support for Thawte strong extranet extension.
9656 *) Add LinuxPPC support.
9657 [Jeff Dubrule <igor@pobox.org>]
9659 *) Get rid of redundant BN file bn_mulw.c, and rename bn_div64 to
9660 bn_div_words in alpha.s.
9661 [Hannes Reinecke <H.Reinecke@hw.ac.uk> and Ben Laurie]
9663 *) Make sure the RSA OAEP test is skipped under -DRSAref because
9664 OAEP isn't supported when OpenSSL is built with RSAref.
9665 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9667 *) Move definitions of IS_SET/IS_SEQUENCE inside crypto/asn1/asn1.h
9668 so they no longer are missing under -DNOPROTO.
9669 [Soren S. Jorvang <soren@t.dk>]
9672 Changes between 0.9.1c and 0.9.2b [22 Mar 1999]
9674 *) Make SSL_get_peer_cert_chain() work in servers. Unfortunately, it still
9675 doesn't work when the session is reused. Coming soon!
9678 *) Fix a security hole, that allows sessions to be reused in the wrong
9679 context thus bypassing client cert protection! All software that uses
9680 client certs and session caches in multiple contexts NEEDS PATCHING to
9681 allow session reuse! A fuller solution is in the works.
9682 [Ben Laurie, problem pointed out by Holger Reif, Bodo Moeller (and ???)]
9684 *) Some more source tree cleanups (removed obsolete files
9685 crypto/bf/asm/bf586.pl, test/test.txt and crypto/sha/asm/f.s; changed
9686 permission on "config" script to be executable) and a fix for the INSTALL
9688 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9690 *) Remove some legacy and erroneous uses of malloc, free instead of
9692 [Lennart Bang <lob@netstream.se>, with minor changes by Steve]
9694 *) Make rsa_oaep_test return non-zero on error.
9695 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9697 *) Add support for native Solaris shared libraries. Configure
9698 solaris-sparc-sc4-pic, make, then run shlib/solaris-sc4.sh. It'd be nice
9699 if someone would make that last step automatic.
9700 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@AdNovum.CH>]
9702 *) ctx_size was not built with the right compiler during "make links". Fixed.
9705 *) Change the meaning of 'ALL' in the cipher list. It now means "everything
9706 except NULL ciphers". This means the default cipher list will no longer
9707 enable NULL ciphers. They need to be specifically enabled e.g. with
9708 the string "DEFAULT:eNULL".
9711 *) Fix to RSA private encryption routines: if p < q then it would
9712 occasionally produce an invalid result. This will only happen with
9713 externally generated keys because OpenSSL (and SSLeay) ensure p > q.
9716 *) Be less restrictive and allow also `perl util/perlpath.pl
9717 /path/to/bin/perl' in addition to `perl util/perlpath.pl /path/to/bin',
9718 because this way one can also use an interpreter named `perl5' (which is
9719 usually the name of Perl 5.xxx on platforms where an Perl 4.x is still
9720 installed as `perl').
9721 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9723 *) Let util/clean-depend.pl work also with older Perl 5.00x versions.
9724 [Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
9726 *) Fix Makefile.org so CC,CFLAG etc are passed to 'make links' add
9727 advapi32.lib to Win32 build and change the pem test comparision
9728 to fc.exe (thanks to Ulrich Kroener <kroneru@yahoo.com> for the
9729 suggestion). Fix misplaced ASNI prototypes and declarations in evp.h
9730 and crypto/des/ede_cbcm_enc.c.
9733 *) DES quad checksum was broken on big-endian architectures. Fixed.
9736 *) Comment out two functions in bio.h that aren't implemented. Fix up the
9737 Win32 test batch file so it (might) work again. The Win32 test batch file
9738 is horrible: I feel ill....
9741 *) Move various #ifdefs around so NO_SYSLOG, NO_DIRENT etc are now selected
9742 in e_os.h. Audit of header files to check ANSI and non ANSI
9743 sections: 10 functions were absent from non ANSI section and not exported
9744 from Windows DLLs. Fixed up libeay.num for new functions.
9747 *) Make `openssl version' output lines consistent.
9748 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9750 *) Fix Win32 symbol export lists for BIO functions: Added
9751 BIO_get_ex_new_index, BIO_get_ex_num, BIO_get_ex_data and BIO_set_ex_data
9752 to ms/libeay{16,32}.def.
9753 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9755 *) Second round of fixing the OpenSSL perl/ stuff. It now at least compiled
9756 fine under Unix and passes some trivial tests I've now added. But the
9757 whole stuff is horribly incomplete, so a README.1ST with a disclaimer was
9758 added to make sure no one expects that this stuff really works in the
9759 OpenSSL 0.9.2 release. Additionally I've started to clean the XS sources
9760 up and fixed a few little bugs and inconsistencies in OpenSSL.{pm,xs} and
9762 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9764 *) Fix the generation of two part addresses in perl.
9765 [Kenji Miyake <kenji@miyake.org>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9767 *) Add config entry for Linux on MIPS.
9768 [John Tobey <jtobey@channel1.com>]
9770 *) Make links whenever Configure is run, unless we are on Windoze.
9773 *) Permit extensions to be added to CRLs using crl_section in openssl.cnf.
9774 Currently only issuerAltName and AuthorityKeyIdentifier make any sense
9778 *) Add a useful kludge to allow package maintainers to specify compiler and
9779 other platforms details on the command line without having to patch the
9780 Configure script everytime: One now can use ``perl Configure
9781 <id>:<details>'', i.e. platform ids are allowed to have details appended
9782 to them (seperated by colons). This is treated as there would be a static
9783 pre-configured entry in Configure's %table under key <id> with value
9784 <details> and ``perl Configure <id>'' is called. So, when you want to
9785 perform a quick test-compile under FreeBSD 3.1 with pgcc and without
9786 assembler stuff you can use ``perl Configure "FreeBSD-elf:pgcc:-O6:::"''
9787 now, which overrides the FreeBSD-elf entry on-the-fly.
9788 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9790 *) Disable new TLS1 ciphersuites by default: they aren't official yet.
9793 *) Allow DSO flags like -fpic, -fPIC, -KPIC etc. to be specified
9794 on the `perl Configure ...' command line. This way one can compile
9795 OpenSSL libraries with Position Independent Code (PIC) which is needed
9796 for linking it into DSOs.
9797 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9799 *) Remarkably, export ciphers were totally broken and no-one had noticed!
9803 *) Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license
9804 questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.
9805 And add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people
9806 recognize that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply
9807 to the OpenSSL toolkit.
9808 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9810 *) General source tree makefile cleanups: Made `making xxx in yyy...'
9811 display consistent in the source tree and replaced `/bin/rm' by `rm'.
9812 Additonally cleaned up the `make links' target: Remove unnecessary
9813 semicolons, subsequent redundant removes, inline point.sh into mklink.sh
9814 to speed processing and no longer clutter the display with confusing
9815 stuff. Instead only the actually done links are displayed.
9816 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9818 *) Permit null encryption ciphersuites, used for authentication only. It used
9819 to be necessary to set the preprocessor define SSL_ALLOW_ENULL to do this.
9820 It is now necessary to set SSL_FORBID_ENULL to prevent the use of null
9824 *) Add a bunch of fixes to the PKCS#7 stuff. It used to sometimes reorder
9825 signed attributes when verifying signatures (this would break them),
9826 the detached data encoding was wrong and public keys obtained using
9827 X509_get_pubkey() weren't freed.
9830 *) Add text documentation for the BUFFER functions. Also added a work around
9831 to a Win95 console bug. This was triggered by the password read stuff: the
9832 last character typed gets carried over to the next fread(). If you were
9833 generating a new cert request using 'req' for example then the last
9834 character of the passphrase would be CR which would then enter the first
9838 *) Added the new `Includes OpenSSL Cryptography Software' button as
9839 doc/openssl_button.{gif,html} which is similar in style to the old SSLeay
9840 button and can be used by applications based on OpenSSL to show the
9841 relationship to the OpenSSL project.
9842 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9844 *) Remove confusing variables in function signatures in files
9845 ssl/ssl_lib.c and ssl/ssl.h.
9846 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9848 *) Don't install bss_file.c under PREFIX/include/
9849 [Lennart Bong <lob@kulthea.stacken.kth.se>]
9851 *) Get the Win32 compile working again. Modify mkdef.pl so it can handle
9852 functions that return function pointers and has support for NT specific
9853 stuff. Fix mk1mf.pl and VC-32.pl to support NT differences also. Various
9854 #ifdef WIN32 and WINNTs sprinkled about the place and some changes from
9855 unsigned to signed types: this was killing the Win32 compile.
9858 *) Add new certificate file to stack functions,
9859 SSL_add_dir_cert_subjects_to_stack() and
9860 SSL_add_file_cert_subjects_to_stack(). These largely supplant
9861 SSL_load_client_CA_file(), and can be used to add multiple certs easily
9862 to a stack (usually this is then handed to SSL_CTX_set_client_CA_list()).
9863 This means that Apache-SSL and similar packages don't have to mess around
9864 to add as many CAs as they want to the preferred list.
9867 *) Experiment with doxygen documentation. Currently only partially applied to
9869 See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/index.html, and run doxygen with
9870 openssl.doxy as the configuration file.
9873 *) Get rid of remaining C++-style comments which strict C compilers hate.
9874 [Ralf S. Engelschall, pointed out by Carlos Amengual]
9876 *) Changed BN_RECURSION in bn_mont.c to BN_RECURSION_MONT so it is not
9877 compiled in by default: it has problems with large keys.
9880 *) Add a bunch of SSL_xxx() functions for configuring the temporary RSA and
9881 DH private keys and/or callback functions which directly correspond to
9882 their SSL_CTX_xxx() counterparts but work on a per-connection basis. This
9883 is needed for applications which have to configure certificates on a
9884 per-connection basis (e.g. Apache+mod_ssl) instead of a per-context basis
9886 For the RSA certificate situation is makes no difference, but
9887 for the DSA certificate situation this fixes the "no shared cipher"
9888 problem where the OpenSSL cipher selection procedure failed because the
9889 temporary keys were not overtaken from the context and the API provided
9890 no way to reconfigure them.
9891 The new functions now let applications reconfigure the stuff and they
9892 are in detail: SSL_need_tmp_RSA, SSL_set_tmp_rsa, SSL_set_tmp_dh,
9893 SSL_set_tmp_rsa_callback and SSL_set_tmp_dh_callback. Additionally a new
9894 non-public-API function ssl_cert_instantiate() is used as a helper
9895 function and also to reduce code redundancy inside ssl_rsa.c.
9896 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9898 *) Move s_server -dcert and -dkey options out of the undocumented feature
9899 area because they are useful for the DSA situation and should be
9900 recognized by the users.
9901 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9903 *) Fix the cipher decision scheme for export ciphers: the export bits are
9904 *not* within SSL_MKEY_MASK or SSL_AUTH_MASK, they are within
9905 SSL_EXP_MASK. So, the original variable has to be used instead of the
9906 already masked variable.
9907 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9909 *) Fix 'port' variable from `int' to `unsigned int' in crypto/bio/b_sock.c
9910 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9912 *) Change type of another md_len variable in pk7_doit.c:PKCS7_dataFinal()
9913 from `int' to `unsigned int' because it's a length and initialized by
9914 EVP_DigestFinal() which expects an `unsigned int *'.
9915 [Richard Levitte <levitte@stacken.kth.se>]
9917 *) Don't hard-code path to Perl interpreter on shebang line of Configure
9918 script. Instead use the usual Shell->Perl transition trick.
9919 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9921 *) Make `openssl x509 -noout -modulus' functional also for DSA certificates
9922 (in addition to RSA certificates) to match the behaviour of `openssl dsa
9923 -noout -modulus' as it's already the case for `openssl rsa -noout
9924 -modulus'. For RSA the -modulus is the real "modulus" while for DSA
9925 currently the public key is printed (a decision which was already done by
9926 `openssl dsa -modulus' in the past) which serves a similar purpose.
9927 Additionally the NO_RSA no longer completely removes the whole -modulus
9928 option; it now only avoids using the RSA stuff. Same applies to NO_DSA
9930 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
9932 *) Add Arne Ansper's reliable BIO - this is an encrypted, block-digested
9933 BIO. See the source (crypto/evp/bio_ok.c) for more info.
9934 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
9936 *) Dump the old yucky req code that tried (and failed) to allow raw OIDs
9937 to be added. Now both 'req' and 'ca' can use new objects defined in the
9941 *) Add cool BIO that does syslog (or event log on NT).
9942 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>, integrated by Ben Laurie]
9944 *) Add support for new TLS ciphersuites, TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC4_56_MD5,
9945 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_RC2_CBC_56_MD5 and
9946 TLS_RSA_EXPORT56_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA, as specified in "56-bit Export Cipher
9947 Suites For TLS", draft-ietf-tls-56-bit-ciphersuites-00.txt.
9950 *) Add preliminary config info for new extension code.
9953 *) Make RSA_NO_PADDING really use no padding.
9954 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>]
9956 *) Generate errors when private/public key check is done.
9959 *) Overhaul for 'crl' utility. New function X509_CRL_print. Partial support
9960 for some CRL extensions and new objects added.
9963 *) Really fix the ASN1 IMPLICIT bug this time... Partial support for private
9964 key usage extension and fuller support for authority key id.
9967 *) Add OAEP encryption for the OpenSSL crypto library. OAEP is the improved
9968 padding method for RSA, which is recommended for new applications in PKCS
9969 #1 v2.0 (RFC 2437, October 1998).
9970 OAEP (Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding) has better theoretical
9971 foundations than the ad-hoc padding used in PKCS #1 v1.5. It is secure
9972 against Bleichbacher's attack on RSA.
9973 [Ulf Moeller <ulf@fitug.de>, reformatted, corrected and integrated by
9976 *) Updates to the new SSL compression code
9977 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9979 *) Fix so that the version number in the master secret, when passed
9980 via RSA, checks that if TLS was proposed, but we roll back to SSLv3
9981 (because the server will not accept higher), that the version number
9982 is 0x03,0x01, not 0x03,0x00
9983 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
9985 *) Run extensive memory leak checks on SSL apps. Fixed *lots* of memory
9986 leaks in ssl/ relating to new X509_get_pubkey() behaviour. Also fixes
9987 in apps/ and an unrelated leak in crypto/dsa/dsa_vrf.c
9990 *) Support for RAW extensions where an arbitrary extension can be
9991 created by including its DER encoding. See apps/openssl.cnf for
9995 *) Make sure latest Perl versions don't interpret some generated C array
9996 code as Perl array code in the crypto/err/err_genc.pl script.
9997 [Lars Weber <3weber@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
9999 *) Modify ms/do_ms.bat to not generate assembly language makefiles since
10000 not many people have the assembler. Various Win32 compilation fixes and
10001 update to the INSTALL.W32 file with (hopefully) more accurate Win32
10002 build instructions.
10005 *) Modify configure script 'Configure' to automatically create crypto/date.h
10006 file under Win32 and also build pem.h from pem.org. New script
10007 util/mkfiles.pl to create the MINFO file on environments that can't do a
10008 'make files': perl util/mkfiles.pl >MINFO should work.
10011 *) Major rework of DES function declarations, in the pursuit of correctness
10012 and purity. As a result, many evil casts evaporated, and some weirdness,
10013 too. You may find this causes warnings in your code. Zapping your evil
10014 casts will probably fix them. Mostly.
10017 *) Fix for a typo in asn1.h. Bug fix to object creation script
10018 obj_dat.pl. It considered a zero in an object definition to mean
10019 "end of object": none of the objects in objects.h have any zeros
10020 so it wasn't spotted.
10021 [Steve Henson, reported by Erwann ABALEA <eabalea@certplus.com>]
10023 *) Add support for Triple DES Cipher Block Chaining with Output Feedback
10024 Masking (CBCM). In the absence of test vectors, the best I have been able
10025 to do is check that the decrypt undoes the encrypt, so far. Send me test
10026 vectors if you have them.
10029 *) Correct calculation of key length for export ciphers (too much space was
10030 allocated for null ciphers). This has not been tested!
10033 *) Modifications to the mkdef.pl for Win32 DEF file creation. The usage
10034 message is now correct (it understands "crypto" and "ssl" on its
10035 command line). There is also now an "update" option. This will update
10036 the util/ssleay.num and util/libeay.num files with any new functions.
10038 perl util/mkdef.pl crypto ssl update
10039 it will update them.
10042 *) Overhauled the Perl interface (perl/*):
10043 - ported BN stuff to OpenSSL's different BN library
10044 - made the perl/ source tree CVS-aware
10045 - renamed the package from SSLeay to OpenSSL (the files still contain
10046 their history because I've copied them in the repository)
10047 - removed obsolete files (the test scripts will be replaced
10048 by better Test::Harness variants in the future)
10049 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10051 *) First cut for a very conservative source tree cleanup:
10052 1. merge various obsolete readme texts into doc/ssleay.txt
10053 where we collect the old documents and readme texts.
10054 2. remove the first part of files where I'm already sure that we no
10055 longer need them because of three reasons: either they are just temporary
10056 files which were left by Eric or they are preserved original files where
10057 I've verified that the diff is also available in the CVS via "cvs diff
10058 -rSSLeay_0_8_1b" or they were renamed (as it was definitely the case for
10059 the crypto/md/ stuff).
10060 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10062 *) More extension code. Incomplete support for subject and issuer alt
10063 name, issuer and authority key id. Change the i2v function parameters
10064 and add an extra 'crl' parameter in the X509V3_CTX structure: guess
10065 what that's for :-) Fix to ASN1 macro which messed up
10066 IMPLICIT tag and add f_enum.c which adds a2i, i2a for ENUMERATED.
10069 *) Preliminary support for ENUMERATED type. This is largely copied from the
10073 *) Add new function, EVP_MD_CTX_copy() to replace frequent use of memcpy.
10074 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10076 *) Make sure `make rehash' target really finds the `openssl' program.
10077 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Matthias Loepfe <Matthias.Loepfe@adnovum.ch>]
10079 *) Squeeze another 7% of speed out of MD5 assembler, at least on a P2. I'd
10080 like to hear about it if this slows down other processors.
10083 *) Add CygWin32 platform information to Configure script.
10084 [Alan Batie <batie@aahz.jf.intel.com>]
10086 *) Fixed ms/32all.bat script: `no_asm' -> `no-asm'
10087 [Rainer W. Gerling <gerling@mpg-gv.mpg.de>]
10089 *) New program nseq to manipulate netscape certificate sequences
10092 *) Modify crl2pkcs7 so it supports multiple -certfile arguments. Fix a
10096 *) Fixes to BN code. Previously the default was to define BN_RECURSION
10097 but the BN code had some problems that would cause failures when
10098 doing certificate verification and some other functions.
10099 [Eric A. Young, (from changes to C2Net SSLeay, integrated by Mark Cox)]
10101 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10104 *) Add ASN1 and PEM code to support netscape certificate sequences.
10107 *) Add several PKIX and private extended key usage OIDs.
10110 *) Modify the 'ca' program to handle the new extension code. Modify
10111 openssl.cnf for new extension format, add comments.
10114 *) More X509 V3 changes. Fix typo in v3_bitstr.c. Add support to 'req'
10115 and add a sample to openssl.cnf so req -x509 now adds appropriate
10119 *) Continued X509 V3 changes. Add to other makefiles, integrate with the
10120 error code, add initial support to X509_print() and x509 application.
10123 *) Takes a deep breath and start addding X509 V3 extension support code. Add
10124 files in crypto/x509v3. Move original stuff to crypto/x509v3/old. All this
10125 stuff is currently isolated and isn't even compiled yet.
10128 *) Continuing patches for GeneralizedTime. Fix up certificate and CRL
10129 ASN1 to use ASN1_TIME and modify print routines to use ASN1_TIME_print.
10130 Removed the versions check from X509 routines when loading extensions:
10131 this allows certain broken certificates that don't set the version
10132 properly to be processed.
10135 *) Deal with irritating shit to do with dependencies, in YAAHW (Yet Another
10136 Ad Hoc Way) - Makefile.ssls now all contain local dependencies, which
10137 can still be regenerated with "make depend".
10140 *) Spelling mistake in C version of CAST-128.
10141 [Ben Laurie, reported by Jeremy Hylton <jeremy@cnri.reston.va.us>]
10143 *) Changes to the error generation code. The perl script err-code.pl
10144 now reads in the old error codes and retains the old numbers, only
10145 adding new ones if necessary. It also only changes the .err files if new
10146 codes are added. The makefiles have been modified to only insert errors
10147 when needed (to avoid needlessly modifying header files). This is done
10148 by only inserting errors if the .err file is newer than the auto generated
10149 C file. To rebuild all the error codes from scratch (the old behaviour)
10150 either modify crypto/Makefile.ssl to pass the -regen flag to err_code.pl
10151 or delete all the .err files.
10154 *) CAST-128 was incorrectly implemented for short keys. The C version has
10155 been fixed, but is untested. The assembler versions are also fixed, but
10156 new assembler HAS NOT BEEN GENERATED FOR WIN32 - the Makefile needs fixing
10157 to regenerate it if needed.
10158 [Ben Laurie, reported (with fix for C version) by Jun-ichiro itojun
10159 Hagino <itojun@kame.net>]
10161 *) File was opened incorrectly in randfile.c.
10162 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10164 *) Beginning of support for GeneralizedTime. d2i, i2d, check and print
10165 functions. Also ASN1_TIME suite which is a CHOICE of UTCTime or
10166 GeneralizedTime. ASN1_TIME is the proper type used in certificates et
10167 al: it's just almost always a UTCTime. Note this patch adds new error
10168 codes so do a "make errors" if there are problems.
10171 *) Correct Linux 1 recognition in config.
10172 [Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10174 *) Remove pointless MD5 hash when using DSA keys in ca.
10175 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10177 *) Generate an error if given an empty string as a cert directory. Also
10178 generate an error if handed NULL (previously returned 0 to indicate an
10179 error, but didn't set one).
10180 [Ben Laurie, reported by Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10182 *) Add prototypes to SSL methods. Make SSL_write's buffer const, at last.
10185 *) Fix the dummy function BN_ref_mod_exp() in rsaref.c to have the correct
10186 parameters. This was causing a warning which killed off the Win32 compile.
10189 *) Remove C++ style comments from crypto/bn/bn_local.h.
10190 [Neil Costigan <neil.costigan@celocom.com>]
10192 *) The function OBJ_txt2nid was broken. It was supposed to return a nid
10193 based on a text string, looking up short and long names and finally
10194 "dot" format. The "dot" format stuff didn't work. Added new function
10195 OBJ_txt2obj to do the same but return an ASN1_OBJECT and rewrote
10196 OBJ_txt2nid to use it. OBJ_txt2obj can also return objects even if the
10197 OID is not part of the table.
10200 *) Add prototypes to X509 lookup/verify methods, fixing a bug in
10201 X509_LOOKUP_by_alias().
10204 *) Sort openssl functions by name.
10207 *) Get the gendsa program working (hopefully) and add it to app list. Remove
10208 encryption from sample DSA keys (in case anyone is interested the password
10212 *) Make _all_ *_free functions accept a NULL pointer.
10213 [Frans Heymans <fheymans@isaserver.be>]
10215 *) If a DH key is generated in s3_srvr.c, don't blow it by trying to use
10217 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10219 *) s_server should send the CAfile as acceptable CAs, not its own cert.
10220 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10222 *) Don't blow it for numeric -newkey arguments to apps/req.
10223 [Bodo Moeller <3moeller@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>]
10225 *) Temp key "for export" tests were wrong in s3_srvr.c.
10226 [Anonymous <nobody@replay.com>]
10228 *) Add prototype for temp key callback functions
10229 SSL_CTX_set_tmp_{rsa,dh}_callback().
10232 *) Make DH_free() tolerate being passed a NULL pointer (like RSA_free() and
10233 DSA_free()). Make X509_PUBKEY_set() check for errors in d2i_PublicKey().
10236 *) X509_name_add_entry() freed the wrong thing after an error.
10237 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10239 *) rsa_eay.c would attempt to free a NULL context.
10240 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10242 *) BIO_s_socket() had a broken should_retry() on Windoze.
10243 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10245 *) BIO_f_buffer() didn't pass on BIO_CTRL_FLUSH.
10246 [Arne Ansper <arne@ats.cyber.ee>]
10248 *) Make sure the already existing X509_STORE->depth variable is initialized
10249 in X509_STORE_new(), but document the fact that this variable is still
10250 unused in the certificate verification process.
10251 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10253 *) Fix the various library and apps files to free up pkeys obtained from
10254 X509_PUBKEY_get() et al. Also allow x509.c to handle netscape extensions.
10257 *) Fix reference counting in X509_PUBKEY_get(). This makes
10258 demos/maurice/example2.c work, amongst others, probably.
10259 [Steve Henson and Ben Laurie]
10261 *) First cut of a cleanup for apps/. First the `ssleay' program is now named
10262 `openssl' and second, the shortcut symlinks for the `openssl <command>'
10263 are no longer created. This way we have a single and consistent command
10264 line interface `openssl <command>', similar to `cvs <command>'.
10265 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Paul Sutton and Ben Laurie]
10267 *) ca.c: move test for DSA keys inside #ifndef NO_DSA. Make pubkey
10268 BIT STRING wrapper always have zero unused bits.
10271 *) Add CA.pl, perl version of CA.sh, add extended key usage OID.
10274 *) Make the top-level INSTALL documentation easier to understand.
10277 *) Makefiles updated to exit if an error occurs in a sub-directory
10278 make (including if user presses ^C) [Paul Sutton]
10280 *) Make Montgomery context stuff explicit in RSA data structure.
10283 *) Fix build order of pem and err to allow for generated pem.h.
10286 *) Fix renumbering bug in X509_NAME_delete_entry().
10289 *) Enhanced the err-ins.pl script so it makes the error library number
10290 global and can add a library name. This is needed for external ASN1 and
10291 other error libraries.
10294 *) Fixed sk_insert which never worked properly.
10297 *) Fix ASN1 macros so they can handle indefinite length construted
10298 EXPLICIT tags. Some non standard certificates use these: they can now
10302 *) Merged the various old/obsolete SSLeay documentation files (doc/xxx.doc)
10303 into a single doc/ssleay.txt bundle. This way the information is still
10304 preserved but no longer messes up this directory. Now it's new room for
10305 the new set of documenation files.
10306 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10308 *) SETs were incorrectly DER encoded. This was a major pain, because they
10309 shared code with SEQUENCEs, which aren't coded the same. This means that
10310 almost everything to do with SETs or SEQUENCEs has either changed name or
10311 number of arguments.
10312 [Ben Laurie, based on a partial fix by GP Jayan <gp@nsj.co.jp>]
10314 *) Fix test data to work with the above.
10317 *) Fix the RSA header declarations that hid a bug I fixed in 0.9.0b but
10318 was already fixed by Eric for 0.9.1 it seems.
10319 [Ben Laurie - pointed out by Ulf Möller <ulf@fitug.de>]
10321 *) Autodetect FreeBSD3.
10324 *) Fix various bugs in Configure. This affects the following platforms:
10328 unixware-2.0-pentium
10332 *) Eliminate generated files from CVS. Reorder tests to regenerate files
10333 before they are needed.
10336 *) Generate Makefile.ssl from Makefile.org (to keep CVS happy).
10340 Changes between 0.9.1b and 0.9.1c [23-Dec-1998]
10342 *) Added OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER to crypto/crypto.h and
10343 changed SSLeay to OpenSSL in version strings.
10344 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10346 *) Some fixups to the top-level documents.
10349 *) Fixed the nasty bug where rsaref.h was not found under compile-time
10350 because the symlink to include/ was missing.
10351 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10353 *) Incorporated the popular no-RSA/DSA-only patches
10354 which allow to compile a RSA-free SSLeay.
10355 [Andrew Cooke / Interrader Ldt., Ralf S. Engelschall]
10357 *) Fixed nasty rehash problem under `make -f Makefile.ssl links'
10358 when "ssleay" is still not found.
10359 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10361 *) Added more platforms to Configure: Cray T3E, HPUX 11,
10362 [Ralf S. Engelschall, Beckmann <beckman@acl.lanl.gov>]
10364 *) Updated the README file.
10365 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10367 *) Added various .cvsignore files in the CVS repository subdirs
10368 to make a "cvs update" really silent.
10369 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10371 *) Recompiled the error-definition header files and added
10372 missing symbols to the Win32 linker tables.
10373 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10375 *) Cleaned up the top-level documents;
10376 o new files: CHANGES and LICENSE
10377 o merged VERSION, HISTORY* and README* files a CHANGES.SSLeay
10378 o merged COPYRIGHT into LICENSE
10379 o removed obsolete TODO file
10380 o renamed MICROSOFT to INSTALL.W32
10381 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10383 *) Removed dummy files from the 0.9.1b source tree:
10384 crypto/asn1/x crypto/bio/cd crypto/bio/fg crypto/bio/grep crypto/bio/vi
10385 crypto/bn/asm/......add.c crypto/bn/asm/a.out crypto/dsa/f crypto/md5/f

10388 util/f.mak util/pl/f util/pl/f.mak crypto/bf/bf_locl.old apps/f
10389 [Ralf S. Engelschall]
10391 *) Added various platform portability fixes.
10394 *) The Genesis of the OpenSSL rpject:
10395 We start with the latest (unreleased) SSLeay version 0.9.1b which Eric A.
10396 Young and Tim J. Hudson created while they were working for C2Net until
10398 [The OpenSSL Project]
10401 Changes between 0.9.0b and 0.9.1b [not released]
10403 *) Updated a few CA certificates under certs/
10406 *) Changed some BIGNUM api stuff.
10409 *) Various platform ports: OpenBSD, Ultrix, IRIX 64bit, NetBSD,
10410 DGUX x86, Linux Alpha, etc.
10413 *) New COMP library [crypto/comp/] for SSL Record Layer Compression:
10414 RLE (dummy implemented) and ZLIB (really implemented when ZLIB is
10418 *) Add -strparse option to asn1pars program which parses nested
10420 [Dr Stephen Henson <shenson@bigfoot.com>]
10422 *) Added "oid_file" to ssleay.cnf for "ca" and "req" programs.
10425 *) DSA fix for "ca" program.
10428 *) Added "-genkey" option to "dsaparam" program.
10431 *) Added RIPE MD160 (rmd160) message digest.
10434 *) Added -a (all) option to "ssleay version" command.
10437 *) Added PLATFORM define which is the id given to Configure.
10440 *) Added MemCheck_XXXX functions to crypto/mem.c for memory checking.
10443 *) Extended the ASN.1 parser routines.
10446 *) Extended BIO routines to support REUSEADDR, seek, tell, etc.
10449 *) Added a BN_CTX to the BN library.
10452 *) Fixed the weak key values in DES library
10455 *) Changed API in EVP library for cipher aliases.
10458 *) Added support for RC2/64bit cipher.
10461 *) Converted the lhash library to the crypto/mem.c functions.
10464 *) Added more recognized ASN.1 object ids.
10467 *) Added more RSA padding checks for SSL/TLS.
10470 *) Added BIO proxy/filter functionality.
10473 *) Added extra_certs to SSL_CTX which can be used
10474 send extra CA certificates to the client in the CA cert chain sending
10475 process. It can be configured with SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert().
10478 *) Now Fortezza is denied in the authentication phase because
10479 this is key exchange mechanism is not supported by SSLeay at all.
10482 *) Additional PKCS1 checks.
10485 *) Support the string "TLSv1" for all TLS v1 ciphers.
10488 *) Added function SSL_get_ex_data_X509_STORE_CTX_idx() which gives the
10489 ex_data index of the SSL context in the X509_STORE_CTX ex_data.
10492 *) Fixed a few memory leaks.
10495 *) Fixed various code and comment typos.
10498 *) A minor bug in ssl/s3_clnt.c where there would always be 4 0
10499 bytes sent in the client random.
